Mdm Aishah has been with the Dyslexia Association of Singapore since 2007 and she is a pioneer member of the Maths core team. She provides Mathematics intervention for learners with dyslexia and other specific learning differences. She has years of experience with curriculum planning and designing appropriate teaching approaches and lesson materials in line with the Singapore Primary / Secondary MOE school Maths curriculum. She aims to meet the diverse needs of DAS students of varying abilities so that they can confidently work out computation sums as well as word problems applying appropriate heuristics. Delivering these pedagogical skills to her students, she has played a strong role in helping DAS students excel in their school mathematics examinations. Aside from her teaching responsibilities, Mdm Aishah has experience conducting talks and workshops for parents and students. She also plays a key role in coordinating and facilitating teacher training for new Maths teachers.
