To maintain the highest standards and ensure consistency in our lessons, our Thai teachers are continuously supported by our Singapore team through weekly meetings, in-depth discussions of weekly lesson materials, and structured curriculum guidance.
CO-FOUNDER OF MATH MAVENS
Mr James
Mr. Wee Toon and I have been close friends for over ten years, since before I got married. After becoming a father of three, I realised that the most valuable gift I could give my children for their future is a strong education that prepares them for life. I believe many parents feel the same way.
With this conviction, Mr. Wee Toon and I set out to bring Math Mavens from Singapore to Thailand—so that my children, and all parents who share this belief, can provide their children with a quality education. What began as a shared belief between friends became the birth of Math Mavens Thailand.
CO-FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL OF MATH MAVENS
Mr Teo Wee Toon
My favourite quote in life is:
“Life is a journey. Whatever good that I can do, let me do it now, because I may not pass by this way again.”
With this philosophy at heart, I believe there is no better time than now to share Math Mavens’ expertise with students in Thailand.
You might wonder, why the name Math Mavens?
The word “Mavens” is defined as trusted experts in a particular field, who seek to pass knowledge on to others. It comes from Hebrew and means one who understands, based on an accumulation of knowledge. This perfectly reflects our mission — to be trusted experts who empower students by sharing mathematical knowledge and delivering quality Primary Mathematics education.
Mathematics is the language of the universe — the foundation of critical and analytical thinking. Building a strong mathematical foundation is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child. It becomes the wings that enable our children to soar high and reach their fullest potential.
My journey as an educator has taken me through the entire spectrum of Mathematics — from the fundamentals of Mathematics to Mathematics for the gifted. Drawing upon this depth of knowledge and experience, I founded Math Mavens. Today, we proudly open our 5th branch in Bangkok, Nanglinchee.
Together, let’s equip students in Thailand with the strongest Singapore Foundation in Mathematics, empowering them to gain a Global Edge in their future endeavours.

SENIOR TEACHER
Mrs Patthama Silva (Mrs Pat)
It is my great pleasure to have this opportunity to continue and further my teaching journey with Math Mavens! I am truly excited to bring my experience to our Bangkok branch and contribute to its success.
With 18 years of experience as a Teaching Assistant and Nursery Nurse in both London and Bangkok, I have honed my skills in creating a nurturing and effective learning environment for young children. Most recently, I have had the invaluable experience of serving as the Head Assistant Teacher for Key Stage 2 at King’s International School, Bangkok. This role allowed me to build on my experience at Shrewsbury International School and deepen my understanding of the international educational landscape, thereby further developing my leadership and collaboration skills.
I am deeply passionate about supporting students’ holistic development and creating engaging learning experiences. Whether it is witnessing a child grasp a new concept in Mathematics, building their confidence, or simply seeing them enjoy their time in the classroom, being part of their growth is incredibly fulfilling.
As a dedicated member of the new Math Mavens Bangkok team, you can be assured that I will bring my best efforts, drawing on my diverse experiences to foster a positive learning environment for our pupils and ensure the success of Math Mavens.

TEACHER
Miss Panitporn Wongjumras (Ms Bea)
Working with children has always been a true passion of mine. There is nothing more rewarding than supporting their learning, growth, and the discovery of their potential. I firmly believe that, with the right support and a nurturing environment, every child can thrive—especially when learning is tailored to their individual styles and needs. My goal is to make lessons enjoyable, engaging, and curiosity-driven so that learning becomes an exciting experience. Witnessing children’s progress, whether big or small, is the most fulfilling aspect of my work, and I make sure to celebrate every step they take along their educational journey.

TEACHER
Miss Pimonkan Chanlekha (Ms Pond)
My inspiration for teaching comes from a deep desire to see my students grow, not only academically but also in how they apply their learning to real life. I believe every student is unique, with their own strengths and learning styles. As a teacher, I strive to understand the unique needs of each student and adapt my teaching approaches to support their learning journey effectively. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful learning environment where students feel valued, engaged, supported and motivated to do their best. To me, teaching goes beyond imparting knowledge and delivering lessons – it is about building meaningful relationships, nurturing confidence, and helping each child discover their potential both in and beyond the classroom.
