Director's Foreword
Dear Parents & Students,
A warm welcome to Knockout Math. We are excited to have you with us.
Many of us grew up in an era where mathematics meant repetition—speed drills, assessment books, and working through the Ten-Year Series again and again. While this built familiarity, today's curriculum has evolved far beyond that approach.
In recent years, mathematics education has shifted significantly. Questions now emphasise real-world contexts, multi-step reasoning, and deeper conceptual understanding. Students are expected not just to recall methods, but to interpret, adapt, and apply them in unfamiliar situations. As a result, rote learning alone is no longer sufficient.
True mathematical ability today lies in fluency—being comfortable with numbers, understanding underlying concepts, and thinking flexibly when solving problems. It is about knowing not just how to solve, but why a method works, and when to use it.
At Knockout Math, we focus on developing this fluency in a structured and intuitive way. Our lessons are designed to help students build clarity, make connections across topics, and approach problems with confidence and precision. With our guidance, learning mathematics can be engaging, purposeful, and even enjoyable. Our team of experienced tutors is committed to supporting each student on this journey.
We look forward to working with you.
Warm regards,
Peng Junyang

“I always want my students to understand the 'why' behind Mathematics, rather than simply memorising formulas. I believe every student learns differently, so I guide them patiently, helping them build confidence through practice and discover that they are more capable than they think.”

“Every mathematical problem is an opportunity to think, question, and explore different ways of finding a solution. I aim to help my students develop their own approach to problem-solving, while being someone they can count on when things get challenging.”

Our Journey
From MOE classrooms to Knockout Math — milestones that shaped how we teach today.
- 2019
Classes continued to grow during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the centre pivoted to hybrid teaching models that improved accessibility and ensured continuity of learning.
- 2022
Junyang led Math Academia through a successful merger and acquisition with Indigo Education Group, expanding opportunities for students through stronger academic resources and a broader learning ecosystem. He served for approximately three years on the Board of Directors of Math Academia, a subsidiary of Indigo Education Group. As part of the senior leadership team within Indigo Education Group, including his role as Dean of Mathematics, Junyang strengthened academic programmes and teaching standards across centres.
- 2025
After completing his non-compete obligations, Junyang assumed the role of Director of the Integrated Programme at Zenith Education Studio, where he served as part of the management team, shaping academic strategy and programme. Upon completion of his probationary period, Junyang elected not to extend his tenure and pursue a new chapter.
