Our story
Yueh Mei, iMath founder, spent 3 years travelling all around the world conducting professional development training for teachers. During her time in these countries, she saw the universal needs among students who need help in understanding math concepts or with their homework. Unfortunately, accessibility to teachers is not always easy, especially after school hours. In many countries, good teachers are usually in the cities, leaving students in the rural areas having no access to them. In countries like Singapore, apart from students, many parents seek help with their children’s math homework too.
It is with these gaps and needs that iMath Solutions was started – to bring quality learning and caring coaching to any student/parent anywhere anytime. We are tech-enabled yet human-centric in our approach as we deliver help to students/parents to enhance their learning. With technology, we want to enable every deserving student to receive help and assistance from a caring teacher, not bound by locality of both parties. We received invaluable support and advice from the founding team of advisors. They are reputable, knowledgeable and experts in their areas of specialisation. With a caring educator's heart, each of them granted us their utmost support to journey iMath together and bring learning to every student.
Our mission
Be a tech-enabled human-centric platform to help students with their homework and enhance their learning.
Our vision
Use technology to bring quality learning and caring coaching to any student anywhere anytime.
