• Design intervention plans aligned to MOE, IB, or IGCSE expectations, covering number sense, operations, fractions/decimals/percentages, ratio/rates, algebra foundations, geometry, and word‑problem heuristics.
• Deliver 1:1 and small‑group sessions for students with dyscalculia, ADHD, dyspraxia/DCD, ASD, or executive function challenges.
• Use structured, evidence‑based approaches (visual‑concrete‑abstract, scaffolding, metacognition, error analysis).
• Track progress and report outcomes clearly to families and collaborate with the wider team.
• Work closely with OTs/ETs and parents to ensure consistency and support beyond the clinic.

• Psychology / Child Psychology
• Education / Special Education
• Early Childhood Education / Learning Support
• Counselling / Childhood Intervention
• Related allied health fields (OT/SLT student backgrounds welcome)

✅ Confidence teaching numeracy up to lower‑secondary level (MOE / IB / IGCSE).

✅ Experience working with children with learning needs in a school, clinic, or learning‑support setting.

✅ Strong communication and report‑writing skills.

Preferred (not mandatory)

• Familiarity with MOE / IB / IGCSE numeracy frameworks
• Training in Singapore Math pedagogy or structured intervention approaches
• Experience supporting students with dyscalculia
• Ability to analyse errors and identify misconceptions

What We Offer

• Supportive, multidisciplinary environment with mentoring
• Professional development and funded training opportunities
• Meaningful, purpose‑driven work that impacts children and families

Only applicants with relevant educational, psychology, or special‑needs training/experience will be shortlisted.
