About Binjai Academy
Binjai Academy is Singapore's bilingual logic and engineering academy for P1-P3 students (ages 6-9). We combine competition-level mathematics (Beast Academy) with hands-on science and engineering-all taught in Mandarin. Our screen-minimal, 1:8 mentor-ratio model is designed for deep learning, not passive consumption. We're opening our flagship centre in Bukit Timah in Term 3, 2026.

What You'll Do
- Deliver Competition Math in Mandarin sessions using Beast Academy curriculum, enhanced with the Binjai Method for competition preparation
- Teach advanced heuristics and problem-solving strategies (, , ) entirely in Mandarin to P1-P3 students
- Prepare students for mathematics competitions such as SASMO, IMAS, and SMOPS
- Guide students through systematic problem documentation and mathematical reasoning in their journals
- Collaborate with the curriculum team to refine lesson plans, problem sets, and assessment rubrics
- Maintain a 1:8 mentor-ratio classroom with high engagement and a culture of deep thinking
Who We're Looking For
What matters most
- Fluent Mandarin: Mainland, Taiwanese, or Singapore Chinese with excellent command (). Must be able to teach an entire 90-minute class in Mandarin without switching.
- 2+ years teaching elementary-age kids: Demonstrated experience working with children ages 5-9. We need someone who understands how young minds learn-not secondary students, not adults.
- High energy, warm, confident presence: You light up a room. Kids are drawn to your enthusiasm and feel safe making mistakes around you.
- Can code-switch: Mandarin with kids in the classroom, English with parents at pick-up. Comfortable in both worlds.
We'd love to see
- Competition math coaching experience: Experience coaching or preparing students for competitions like AMC, Math Kangaroo, Math Olympiad, SASMO, or equivalent.
- Strong quantitative background: Degree or industry experience in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or a related quantitative field. Deep comfort with competition-level problem solving.
- Inquiry-based or project-based learning: Experience with teaching methods that go beyond worksheets-guiding discovery, asking good questions, letting kids struggle productively.
- Portfolio of engaging lessons: Show us lessons you've designed or taught that made kids think hard and have fun doing it.
Bonus points
- Top university graduate: NUS, NTU, or equivalent. We value strong academic foundations, but not at the expense of teaching ability.
- Ex-MOE or enrichment centre experience: Familiarity with Singapore's education landscape is helpful but not essential.
- International teaching experience: Experience in international schools or cross-cultural education settings.
What We Offer
- Shape something from the ground up-you're joining before launch, not inheriting someone else's playbook
- Small classes (1:8 ratio), excellent materials, and families who value what you do
- Competitive salary ($5,600+/month) with Employment Pass sponsorship for exceptional candidates
- Growth trajectory-as we expand programmes and age groups, early team members grow into leadership roles
- Mission-driven-we believe deep mathematical thinking is one of the most valuable skills in an AI world
Why Join Us
This is a teaching role with real ownership. You'll shape the curriculum, mentor young mathematical thinkers, and help define what excellent competition math education looks like in Singapore. You'll lead small groups through Beast Academy's rigorous problem sets, heuristics training, and competition preparation-all in full Mandarin immersion.
