Teaching Philosophy
Dr Gan’s teaching philosophy is anchored in two core principles: patience in fundamentals and empowerment through self-learning. He believes that true mastery is only possible when students develop a rock-solid understanding of core concepts before progressing to advanced applications.
He takes a patient, structured approach to ensure conceptual clarity, then challenges students through inquiry-based discussions and problem deconstruction. Rather than providing quick answers, he mentors students to analyse, question, and reason independently — equipping them with the confidence, discipline, and analytical skills required to excel in demanding academic pathways.
His approach focuses on:
-
Strong Fundamental Foundations
Ensures students build solid conceptual understanding before progressing to complex Physics and Mathematics problems. -
Logical Problem Deconstruction
Guides students to analyse and break down unfamiliar questions using structured reasoning. -
Self-Directed Learning
Encourages independent thinking and disciplined study habits for long-term academic success.
