Aspirations International Academy is an online academic coaching and enrichment service.
Our Approach
- Thematic Approach: Aspirations are the themes.
- Communicative Approach: Use activities and models to teach concepts.
- Structured Approach: Drill fundamentals through scaffolding and practice.
- Immersion Approach: Students dive deep into a topic alongside thematic learning to understand why and how to apply their knowledge and skills in real contexts.
We tailor each student’s work to match their aspirations. At the same time, we offer a chance for students to build their portfolios.
Our Founder
Aspirations International Academy was started by “DJ BEN”, a teacher with experience in various international programs, such as the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), Cambridge courses, and Singapore’s education system.
With many years of working with children, DJ believes the most important role of education is to help students find out who they are and what they can offer to the world.
His goal is to create learning spaces where students gain knowledge and also build purpose, confidence, and the courage to chase their dreams.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Economics
- Master’s Degree in Education
- 7 years of teaching experience (taught students from Singapore’s local schools and international schools)
Our Commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals
At Aspirations International Academy, we believe education should not only transform individual lives — it should also contribute to the well-being of society.
We support the global vision of the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
While we recognise the importance of all 17 goals, our work places particular emphasis on the following:
• SDG 1: No Poverty – supporting initiatives that help families and children overcome poverty
• SDG 2: Zero Hunger – contributing to efforts that ensure children have access to adequate nutrition
• SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being – promoting the physical and mental well-being of children
• SDG 4: Quality Education – helping provide access to meaningful and empowering education
As part of this commitment, 10% of our profits are dedicated to giving back to society. These contributions support programmes and organisations that provide food, health support, and educational opportunities for children and families in need.
Through this initiative, we hope to play a small but meaningful role in helping children build better futures through education, well-being, and opportunity.
