Ram started his career in teaching after graduating from NIE with a Diploma in Physical Education. After three years he left the teaching service to continue his education. He graduated from University of Melbourne with a Bachelors in Education and Training and was added to the Dean’s Honors List for the year 2003 for having been placed in the top 1-2% of student cohort in the Degree Program. He then started teaching privately at his own education center which he runs to this day.
His keen interest in exploring the use of technology in education led him to design and develop numerous web-based educational software to aid learning. He further pursued this interest academically and graduated from National Institute of Education (NIE) with a Master of Arts in Instructional Design and Technology.
Ram has also been actively involved in charity and community work all his working life. He has worked with delinquent youths at Befrienders Of Youth (BOY), was a volunteer with SINDA in its early formative years. Currently, he has been volunteering at Club Rainbow Singapore (CRS) for the last 18 years and is a Council Member and its Education Director. He was the Project Manager and Consultant for the setting up of the first Hospital School Program in Singapore by CRS. Known as Rainbow Academic Support Program (gRASP), it is run in Kandang Kerbau Women and Children Hospital and at National University Hospital by CRS. Since then, as Education Director, he continues to oversee and chart new directions for the education related support services that CRS provides to chronically ill children.
In recent years has become an accomplished online tutor who is well versed in the use of appropriate technologies and platforms to provide a learning experience that at times surpasses that of face to face teaching. As part of his teaching services he provides additional online learning resources that his students can refer to for their revision needs.
Together with his more than 25 years of teaching experience he draws his ideas and training content from the latest research findings in the area of cognitive psychology to motivate students to look beyond words and numbers and help them develop character and new ways of thinking to optimize their academic potential. He brings calm and order by untangling the complexities of learning to help his young students become inspired lifelong learners.
I love travelling and I have even produced a travel documentary in which my team and I checked out the 10 most beautiful islands in the world. It was a hit with Singaporeans and so far there has been three re-runs of the show.
When I'm not at work, I really love to catch up on the dozen or so books I have left half read. On weekends I am either playing football or watching Tottenham Hotspurs, my favorite team, play in the EPL. When the weather is nice, I go for walks to discover lesser known parts of Singapore.
