Odyssey Math Tuition Eyes Expansion via Franchise Model in 2026 Amid Singapore's Booming Tuition Industry

Aug 18, 2025

Odyssey Math Tuition announces 2026 franchise expansion in Singapore's S$1.8B tuition industry, leveraging proprietary math tuition curriculum and 24/7 e-learning for ethical, affordable math education amid challenges like price, inequality, and aggressive marketing.

Singapore, August 18, 2025 -- Odyssey Math Tuition (OMT), a leading provider of specialized math education in Singapore, today announced plans to expand through a franchise model starting in 2026. This strategic move comes as Singapore's private tuition sector reaches new heights, with families spending S$1.8 billion on tuition in 2023—a 30% increase from S$1.4 billion in 2018—driven by intense academic competition and parental desires for an edge in subjects like mathematics.

Private Tution Industry In Singapore

The tuition industry in Singapore continues to thrive despite efforts by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to reduce academic pressure through reforms like the removal of mid-year exams and a new PSLE scoring system. However, with 70% of households enrolling children in tuition and average monthly spending rising to S$104.80 per household in 2023 (up from S$88.40 in 2017-2018), the Singapore tuition market shows no signs of slowing. Parents are increasingly turning to external support for core subjects like math, motivated by competition and the "kiasu" mindset, though this boom raises concerns about social inequality, student stress, and over-reliance on tutoring. Industry challenges include aggressive marketing tactics—such as fear-based ads warning of exam difficulties—and calls for a MOE code of conduct to curb unethical practices like selective enrollment or exaggerated success claims.

Odyssey Math Tuition's Plans To Scale in 2026

Odyssey Math Tuition's franchise model will leverage its proprietary math tuition curriculum, small group classes (around 8 students), and 24/7 online math e-learning platform to offer franchisees a turnkey operation with comprehensive support, including math tutor training, marketing guidance, and access to AI-integrated resources. The custom and proprietary math curriculum, developed and refined by Mr. Justin Tan over more than 10 years, complements the MOE's math syllabus by focusing on deep understanding of concepts through relatable explanations, practice questions, quizzes, and crash courses.

The e-learning system provides unlimited 24/7 access, enabling students to learn at their own pace with video lessons, worksheets, progress tracking, and personalized feedback—available as a standalone option to make quality math education more affordable and accessible for families.

Complementing this is Odyssey Math TV, a free video collection platform offering self-paced tutorials on O-Level and A-Level math exam papers, ensuring high-quality math tuition resources reach every student without barriers, as emphasized by Odyssey Math Tuition's commitment: "We believe that education should not be exclusive. With your support, we hope to continue providing high quality math videos to every student."

The expansion builds on OMT's ongoing growth, including a new physical center opening in September 2025 and standalone e-learning courses later that year, positioning the brand to capture a share of the market's 10-20% annual growth. Initial investments are projected to start at S$68,000-145,000, aligning with industry benchmarks for education franchises, with potential for recurring revenue through membership models and high ROI through ethical, sustainable practices.

In line with calls for industry reform, Odyssey Math Tuition's franchises will proactively adhere to ethical standards, avoiding fear-based marketing and selective enrollment. Instead, the business model emphasizes transparency, inclusivity for all ability levels, and a focus on student well-being.

"With Singapore's tuition industry evolving rapidly, we're excited to franchise OMT in 2026 to empower more educators and families," said Mr. Justin Tan, Founder and Principal Tutor at Odyssey Math Tuition. "Our focus on deep math understanding, combined with ethical practices that prioritize student well-being over scare tactics, will help franchisees build sustainable businesses.

"By preparing students for AI-driven futures through critical thinking and adaptability, we're not just teaching math; we're fostering resilient lifelong learners."

Early adopters echo this vision. "As a former teacher, the option of franchising with OMT allows me to focus on holistic math education without aggressive marketing—it's rewarding to see students thrive beyond grades," said Ms. Elena Lim, a potential franchise partner.

Parents like Mr. Rajesh Kumar add, "OMT's approach has built my child's math confidence without the stress of other centers; expanding this model means more families can benefit."

Janeena Chan, Teejay Marquez make self-care a priority with BlueWater Day Spa

Janeena Chan, Teejay Marquez make self-care a priority with BlueWater Day Spa 

Taking a break can be just as important as putting in the work. For Janeena Chan and Teejay Marquez, finding time to rest and care for themselves is a conscious choice that helps them navigate demanding schedules.   As BlueWater Day Spa ambassadors, they encourage others to make wellness a priority, from enjoying massages to establishing routines that allow the body and mind to recharge.   For Chan, an event host whose work requires adaptability and constant interaction with people, self-care means setting aside time to recover after a busy schedule. Actor and model Marquez, on the other hand, follows a routine that combines adequate sleep, exercise and regular massages to help him manage the physical demands of his profession.   Rest and reconnect   More than just delivering lines onstage, each event hosting for Chan comes with a different audience, setting and atmosphere, requiring her to prepare thoroughly while ensuring that guests remain engaged and comfortable.   “I love getting to meet different people from all walks of life and that it’s always a different setting and playground each time. As the master of ceremonies, you are responsible for the tone of the event and for the energy that you put out there,” Chan said in an interview with The Manila Times.    With the demands of her work, Chan considers scheduled breaks essential. She makes time for massages at BlueWater Day Spa, where she said treatments help ease muscle tension and discomfort.   “Scheduling days where I can be off and be allowed to relax is definitely a must. My non-negotiables are having my favorite massages at BlueWater Day Spa. Their therapists are all so well trained at removing all the knots in my tired muscles and alleviating the pain in my body,” Chan said.   When visiting BlueWater, she prefers treatments that allow her to relax without worrying about her workload. She particularly enjoys the spa’s signature Traditional Filipno massage or the Authentic Chiang Mai Thai Massage which she said helps address areas of discomfort after a hectic week.   “I usually look for massages that will really target my pain points in my body, like yung mga lamig. I love their signature hilot massage, and knowing that I can turn my brain off for a few hours and just soak in the satisfying pamper session at BlueWater Day Spa,” she said.  For Chan, spa visits are also an opportunity to spend quality time with her mother and manager, Sally Chan.   “Actually, it is my favorite bonding activity together with my mom and manager, Mommy Sally. We spend most of our time working together, so getting to be pampered together is such a treat that we always look forward to,” she said.   She added that the spa’s atmosphere makes the experience particularly enjoyable.   “The spa really sets a conducive atmosphere where we can really rest, unwind and feel rejuvenated right after,” Chan said.   Her partnership with BlueWater also reflects her advocacy for wellness and health awareness. Chan, who said she experienced Bell’s palsy 10 years ago, hopes to use her platform to encourage people to pay attention to their well-being and avoid taking their health for granted.   “I’m truly so grateful to be their new ambassador, and I feel like it’s also such a fitting partnership because I am such an advocate for wellness, being a massage and spa fan myself,” she said.    “Also, being a Bell’s palsy awareness advocate, having half my face paralyzed 10 years ago due to stress and lack of real rest, it’s all a great opportunity for me to use my voice in reminding my community to not take their health for granted and prioritize their wellness,” she added.     Building recovery into routine   Like Chan, Marquez recognizes that maintaining a demanding career requires attention to personal well-being.  “Despite all the shoots and events I attend, I always make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep daily. I also find time to work out for one to two hours and treat myself to a really good massage at least once a week to help my body recover,” Marquez said.   His approach to self-care has evolved as he has become more conscious of his health.  “For me, self-care is a reward I give myself after a series of demanding schedules. Especially now that I’m not getting any younger anymore, I’ve learned to prioritize my health and wellness,” the actor noted.   Marquez was already a regular client of BlueWater Day Spa before becoming an ambassador. He said the treatments and personalized service have kept him returning to the wellness establishment.   “Being a BlueWater brand ambassador is truly meaningful to me because it aligns with something I genuinely value: self-care, relaxation and overall wellness. This partnership is more than just representing a brand. It’s about promoting the importance of taking a step back, recharging and giving ourselves the care we deserve,” he said.    “I’m a big fan of massages, so my favorite treatment at BlueWater Day Spa is the Athlete’s Massage. It’s the perfect treatment to relieve muscle tension, help my body recover and recharge after a long day. It’s definitely one of my go-to treatments,” Marquez said.  For people who struggle to make time for themselves because of professional demands, Marquez advises putting health first. He views personal well-being as an investment that should not be sacrificed for work.   “My advice is to always prioritize your health and well-being above everything else. At the end of the day, our body is our greatest investment, especially when our work demands so much of our time and energy,” he said.    Indeed for Chan and Marquez, prioritizing wellness means recognizing that caring for oneself is essential to showing up for work, family and the people who matter.    Branches and services   BlueWater Day Spa offers a range of treatments, including Traditional Filipino Massage, Traditional Balinese Massage, Swedish Massage, Chiang Mai Thai Massage, Athlete’s Massage, and body scrubs. Hand and foot treatments are also available.   Guests may visit BlueWater Day Spa at Eton Square along Ortigas Avenue in Greenhills, San Juan (0917-815-6659), open daily from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.; One Banawe Plaza on Banawe Street in Quezon City, (0947-896-5075), open daily from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.; at Estancia Mall at Capitol Commons in Pasig, at 0917-881-0092, open Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
