Next Generation Learning
Hi. I’m Chris Rogers, Co-Founder onSponge & Oodles Learning. Together with Samantha & Shimin we have developed Instic Academy to introduce an enhanced way of tuition/after school learning, the Next Generation of Learning, in a fun and challenging way.
While traditional math and science classes, online and in person, are effective and instrumental to our Instic Academy Learning Centres, inStic leverages the intelligent use of technology to develop innovative learning modules and personalised educational pathways. Though this, inStic Academy provides a holistic approaching to learning whilst incorporating 21st century skills such as coding and robotics to complement Math and Science – together STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Math]
If you wish to get straight to it, follow this link to book a trial class. Alternatively you may wish to visit our Math and Science programmes and learn about Instic’s proprietary CA[i]RE and ICAN methodologies or discover how Instic incorporates CER [Claim, Evidence, Reasoning] into it’s Science curriculum which helped more than 85% of our students achieve an AL1 to AL3 during the 2022 PSLE.
inStic Curriculum
inStic’s curriculum is crafted with your child’s unique learning and interests in mind. Each lesson has been developed using the [Insert Name]RIGHTTM approach. to xxxx close gaps, bla bla
Our curriculum expands on key concepts and incorporates interesting ideas to foster your child’s love of learning aiding them to apply their knowledge and abilities in contexts outside of the classroom or in exam / PSLE based situations.
>Primary school students enjoy fun and challenging programmes to facilitate their development including: strengthening skills via concept-based workshops; experiential “game-based” workshops to promote creative thinking; incorporation of informative visual and activity sheets increasing comprehension, and so much more.
Your child’s specific learning objectives combined with our proprietary pedagogy underpin the lesson plans to promote a feeling of accomplishment and growth during each class. Technically, your child will be exposed to various approaches of solving word problems and answering questions to support their specific learning style incorporating methods taught in school and those learnt independently. In either case the focus is on the practical application of heuristics, concepts and answering strategies rather simply memorising key words or strategies found in assessment books. Of course none of the above is sufficient to reach most objectives and thus reinforcement through timed tests, activities and workshops combined with sufficient practice is well placed to assist in building confidence in your child’s ability to master new abilities and apply what has been learned.
inStic’s curriculum is epic! The coaches use clear and simple steps and methods to help me understand challenging questions. The optimistic environment really helps to boost my motivation, I definitely look forward to going there to attend my lessons.
Thank you inStic for making a difference in my scores – they have improved tremendously.

inStic Coaches
Our coaches are committed to inspire, mentor and provide a safe and effective environment to to foster positive learning experiences each day.
As a result your child will always leave the classroom knowing that they have acquired knowledge, they are treated fairly and uniquely, and be motivated to learn more whether with us or own their own.
Experience
First, inStic recruits the most qualified coaches who are aligned with our core values – passion to teach, heart to transform and a desire to make a difference. At inStic, this is a basic requirement.
We combine the above with some of the industry’s best practitioners including but not limited to trained NIE teachers, PSLE markers, ex-school HODs & level heads, school examiners and question setters, ex-curriculum developers from some of the well known tuition centres, and authors/editors of some of the best selling assessment books.
This is further grounded with leading technologists, entrepreneurs and corporate managers to bring providing industry operations and business engineering.
Communication
Finally, coaches communicate routinely with the heads of subject to maintain consistently high standards for their content knowledge, student engagement and classroom management.
Conversely, coaches collaborate with the curriculum teams to provide valuable practical and hands-on experience to feedback on the classroom experience,
To ensure that we are consistently making significant changes to the classroom experience, coaches collaborate with the curriculum teams to give input on recent and old lesson materials.
Our priority is to provide quality and personalised education.
I don’t know where I would be without my Instic coach! My maths [marks] would probably be down the dustbin. She is passionate, patient and kind – definitely a rare find … she motivated me to do better and [demonstrated] that maths actually matter. My coach has sparked my interest in this subject … come join Instic Academy!

Fun & Engaging
Students are exposed to concepts through manipulatives and experiments. We go beyond what is presented in the textbooks and ignite your child’s passion for learning by engaging them through games and meaningful problems.
Your child experiences robotics and coding through innovative programmes in collaboration with RoboThink – our sister company.
As a result your child will gain an appreciation of how Science, Technology, Engineering and Math contributes to their everyday life and the environment in which they live.
Positive Attitude
Our coaches continually mentor your child in his/her learning path, setting goals and challenges your child to step out of their comfort zone instilling them with a growth mindset.
With their newly gained confidence, Instic prepares your child for school and beyond.
Coaches Not Teachers
We believe every child is unique and as a result our curriculum is designed to be flexible rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to learning. Similarly, we believe there is no best teacher for all students and instead inStic teachers act as coaches and guide your child to the desired learning objective.
In inStic, your child is able to move between classes trusting that each of our coaches are able to support your child’s individual learning pace and style. Coaches are able to identify your child’s weaknesses and provide specific challenges and solutions to strengthen their capabilities.
Small Steps - Great Rewards
We celebrate your child’s little successes and ignite their interest in learning. Your child’s learning ability is not based on the results of one school test but rather the journey to attain their goals.
Our regular progress checks, cultivation of good learning habits and communication with parents allows for timely intervention. We work towards your child’s learning objectives by amplifying the importance of continuous and incremental improvement rather than simply chasing pure grades.
