All our trainers are graduates and are accredited by MOE to teach in the relevant subjects. Additionally, many have post-graduate professional qualifications, industry certification, and several years working experience in education, public and private businesses. They bring a wealth of information and real life examples right into the classroom.

A brief profile of our trainers is provided below:-

Mr Ho later left the teaching service to take up a post as chemist with a major oil company. During this period, he was posted to several countries, including China, The Netherlands and Brunei. His vast experience in the petroleum industry gives him a broader perspective when he teaches his students. Besides teaching chemistry at S.I.S., he also teaches mathematics part-time at the ITE.

After having worked in the Mechanical Engineering field in Singapore and U.K as Product and Research Engineer for about 5 years, he has been in the teaching profession for the past 23 years.

Mr Lingam completed his secondary and pre-university education at Raffles Institution. After qualifying as an electrical engineer from the then University of Singapore in 1974, he worked for SingTel for 5 years. His passion for teaching was such that, during this period, he did part time teachings in the evenings including a spell at the then Beatty Secondary School where he taught “A” level Pure Mathematics. He joined Motorola in 1981, where he had a broad-based career for 17 years. He left Motorola to setup an IP fax business with a partner. This has given him the flexibility to pursue his passion for teaching on a part-time basis. He is a very painstaking teacher who takes his job seriously. As a result, he has been appreciated by local and foreign students attending his classes at SIS.

Mr Lingam’s wide industrial experience in the working world gives a broad perspective to his teaching. His long stint as a systems and sales engineer has given him the knack to explain difficult concepts in simple terms.
