Our story
How it all began
Chu Wei’s ambition was to be an engineer, not a H2 Math tutor.
He entered junior college, where he took Further Mathematics, and later pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Coming from a humble family background, he began tutoring primary-level Mathematics while in Secondary 4 to support himself and alleviate some of his family’s financial burden.
In 2005, he became a H2 Math tutor. His talent for simplifying complex H2 Math concepts and helping students achieve significant improvements led to a rapid increase in the number of students he tutored during his time at University. The demand became so overwhelming that he occasionally skipped classes to conduct tuition sessions. After graduating, he worked full-time as an engineer at Carrier Singapore, yet continued tutoring evenings and weekends. His commitment to education never wavered.
By 2013, a new opportunity emerged — one that aligned more deeply with his growing passion. Recognising his long-term dedication to students and education, Chu Wei made the bold decision to leave the engineering field and start his own tuition centre. He founded AO Studies, where he spent over a decade helping students achieve academic success, in O-level and A-Level Mathematics.
In 2025, he made a pivotal decision to focus exclusively on A-Level H2 Math. He discontinued O-Level tuition classes and to part ways on a good note, he left AO Studies and handed everything over to Mr Ang. Shortly after, he launched 180 H2 Math Centre, a specialised centre devoted solely to A-Level H2 Mathematics.
Today, Chu Wei channels all his energy into guiding JC students toward mastery and confidence in H2 Math. His journey — from engineering student to one of Singapore’s most sought-after H2 Math tutors — is defined by passion, perseverance, and a deep commitment to student success.

Our Values
The 180 degrees Difference
At One Eighty Degrees, our logo tells a story of transformation. At its heart lies the iconic π (pi) symbol, a universal emblem of Mathematics, reflecting our sole focus on mastering the subject. Embedded within π are the letters J and C, signifying our commitment to Junior College (JC) H2 Math education. But π represents more than just numbers; it symbolizes 180 degrees—a complete transformation. We believe that every student has the potential to make a 180-degree shift, not just in their attitude towards math but in their grades—from an F to an A, unlocking their fullest potential. This is the essence of our tagline: “Where transFormAtion begins.” With an arrow guiding the journey from F to A, our logo embodies the promise of growth, confidence, and success. A true Mathematical metamorphosis.
Join us, and let’s redefine the way you see H2 Math—one degree at a time.

Our Mission
Teaching Philosophy
As a H2 Math tutor, it is not uncommon to see students doing badly in H2 Math and not surprisingly, they hate it. However when you delve deeper, often you will realize that they actually did pretty well in Math, and even liked the subject in primary school. We all know that parents are their kids’ best teachers and at primary school level, usually the kids learn a lot (including their academic studies) from their parents. But as they progress, their academic work will be too much or too complicated for their parents (unless their parents are teachers themselves), thus, they can only rely on their school teachers. As such, we tend to see that the grades start to deteriorate after primary school. Hence, it is important for us to address this pressing issue.
I always believe that every student is capable of scoring A for Math.
What a failing student need is not more practice nor a good teacher, but the right teacher.
A good student knows what to ask his teacher, but the right teacher will know what questions the good student did not ask. Every student is different. Some can absorb complicated concepts easily while other may need another teaching approach in order to grasp the concepts. Frequently, I see myself having to teach numerous concepts in 2 to 3 different approaches in order to get the entire class on the same page.
Continuous assessment tests are conducted frequently to ensure everyone is learning at the same pace as we progress. Students can arrange to see me for consultation when they encounter difficulties in their assignments. Essential H2 Math notes and simulation software are used to facilitate the learning experience, and recommended practice questions are given to students for greater exposure in their learning journey.
To many of my students signing up for H2 Math tuition, I am seen as an approachable H2 Math tutor and my teaching style is constantly changing and improving to suit the different needs of my students. I believe this is how a teacher should learn and improve his teaching skills. One of my greatest strengths, and I believe almost all my students would agree on, will be to explain a really complicated Math problem in a really simple way. This is why I feel that…
Teaching is not my career, teaching is my calling.
Try my H2 math tuition classes now and let me unlock your fullest potential.
