Matrix Math

What Matrix Math does

Matrix Math is a Singapore-headquartered private education company founded in 2008 that specialises in mathematics tuition for preschool, primary, and secondary school students. It delivers its services through a network of 12 physical tuition centres — 11 across Singapore and additional locations in Malaysia (Shah Alam), the Philippines (BGC and Greenhills), and Thailand (Bangkok) — with classes capped at 6 students per group to maintain a high tutor-to-student ratio. The company's core intellectual property is the proprietary Matrix Method, a heuristic-based 5-step problem-solving framework developed in 2008 and continuously refined since.

The company's product surface extends beyond classroom tuition into digital learning products. It operates a self-learning portal with prerecorded video courses, maintains mobile applications on iOS App Store and Google Play, and monetises a 170-page assessment book titled "Level Up Essentials" at S$35. Pricing for physical tuition is structured per 10-lesson term at S$680–S$710, while individual online topical courses are priced between free and S$38. Lead generation is driven by content marketing (blog, YouTube), social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), and free live webinars on heuristic math topics.

The business is operated under a sales-led and community-led go-to-market model, relying on parent testimonials, word-of-mouth referrals, and small-class trial lessons to convert and retain students across the preschool-through-secondary continuum. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring term tuition fees, supplemented by one-time product sales (assessment books, individual digital courses), with no institutional or enterprise B2B contracts disclosed. The company has no external funding rounds recorded, indicating founder/management ownership and organic growth funded by operating cash flow, and remains privately held with Jason Hiak serving as Lead Programme Manager.
