2025: The Year Everything Shifted

I stopped being "just a tutor."

It was the year MathSifu took shape. Not as a brand, but as a philosophy.

The year I built systems I didn’t even know I was capable of building.

The year mentorship replaced tuition.

The year I stopped following the industry and started rewriting my own lane.

Looking back, the amount of transformation in a single year still feels unreal.

From crafting the MathSifu Masterplan, to the rollout of the Mentorship Pass (MMP), to building the M5 Maths System and the entire digital ecosystem behind it, this was a year of reinvention.

Not the slow kind.

The radical kind. 


What I Saw This Year

This year opened my eyes to what’s happening on the ground with students and parents.

I saw how fast mindsets are shifting, and not always for the better.

  • more external validation

  • more instant gratification

  • less self-reflection

  • less internal dialogue

  • more pressure to perform

  • less ownership of learning

The speed of social media, “brainrot,” short-form dopamine loops, AI shortcuts, it’s changing how kids think, behave, and learn. Some days it’s fascinating. Some days it’s alarming.

No one is to blame, but the lack of self-agency is real.

And if educators don’t adapt, we’ll lose an entire generation to passivity.


Why MMP Had to Be Born

Traditional tuition can’t keep up with this new landscape.

It’s too rigid. Too passive. Too dependent on weekly hand-holding.

Students today need:

  • responsibility

  • accountability

  • initiative

  • the ability to self-direct

  • the confidence to learn without being spoonfed

So I built the MathSifu Mentorship Pass (MMP),  a system where students take back control of their learning. Not another “package of lessons,” but a structure where they learn to manage their time, ask for help intentionally, and take responsibility for their outcomes.

It’s a different culture.

A different expectation.

And honestly, a different level of maturity.

But this is where education is heading.

We either prepare students for autonomy early… or we let the world eliminate them later. 


What’s Coming Next

The next few years will demand even more initiative from our children.

Knowledge accumulation is no longer enough.

We need students who can think, act, and adapt.

This is why I’m building out the MathSifu platform, the M5 System, online resources, digital courses, audits, bootcamps, so that any child can learn independently, even without weekly classes.

Mentorship will remain the core.

But the ecosystem will keep expanding so that learning is accessible, structured, and self-driven. 


Looking Toward 2026

In 2026, I’ll continue scaling MathSifu, sharpening the mentorship model, strengthening the online programs, and expanding the systems that make independent learning possible.

My work is no longer about “teaching topics.”

It’s about shaping mindsets.

Preparing the next generation to think deeply, act wisely, and rise above the noise.

This is my contribution to tomorrow’s leaders.

And this is only the beginning.
