Brought up in a working class family, Dr Ananda is familiar with the financial struggles that some parents face to provide their children with a good education. As such in October 2002, he founded Penciltutor Tuition Centre in the bustling Chong Pang (Yishun) housing estate to realise a dream to help provide quality education to people of all backgrounds, including those from lower & lower-middle income.
Why the name “Penciltutor”? It’s because a pencil is commonly the first basic tool that we all used to express our thoughts on paper as a child. Similarly at Penciltutor, we always believe that learning should begin with the basics.

Our first signage back in 2002.
