At Lyza Education, we believe in learning from those who have been on the frontlines of tech. Beyond their teaching credentials, our instructors bring invaluable real-world software development experience to the classroom. Many have collaborated directly with our CEO, Lizhang, leveraging the advanced engineering practices he honed during his many years at tech giants like Amazon and Meta. This unique collaboration ensures that our curriculum is grounded in current industry standards, giving students a practical advantage that goes beyond theoretical knowledge.
Many parents perceive AI as a simple, accessible skill, but true artificial intelligence education involves complex concepts like matrices, feature engineering, and advanced mathematics. Our approach demystifies these topics through instructors who have mastered them at renowned institutions such as Imperial College London (ICL), the National University of Singapore (NUS), and Singapore Management University (SMU). Having navigated this challenging learning journey themselves, our teachers excel at breaking down complicated ideas into digestible lessons, perfectly positioning them to guide and inspire the next generation of coders and AI innovators.
Beyond our expert instructors, our commitment to a superior learning experience is powered by our own custom-built, in-house platform. Developed from the ground up by Lizhang, this platform is engineered to enhance student engagement and provide parents with unparalleled transparency. It integrates features modern parents expect, from seamless progress tracking to streamlined communication, creating an optimal and cohesive journey for both students and parents. This dedicated focus on crafting a unique customer experience, continually refined through direct feedback, is a cornerstone of Lyza Education that sets us apart in the enrichment class landscape.

Let's learn more about the platform's evolution directly from our team! Get a behind-the-scenes look at what has changed from some of our staff.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Lizhang on improving our in-house platform, where it mainly involved developing a "Blocks-to-Python" feature, enabling students to seamlessly convert their block-based code into full Python programs with just a click.
Working alongside Lizhang has been an invaluable experience. His extensive background at major tech companies meant I not only gained technical insights, but also learned best practices in software engineering and development that continue to shape the way I approach projects today.

Joining Lyza Education has been a rewarding and dynamic chapter in my teaching journey. One of the most fascinating initiatives I encountered was digitalising “Kash”, transforming it from a traditional paper reward system into a sleek digital platform. This shift not only modernised the process (Think a Lyza-made PayNow), but also boosted student engagement: learners became more motivated to earn and track their rewards, making them more invested in their own progress.
