About

Why turtles?
Turtles have come to symbolise longevity, knowledge and wisdom because of their long lifespans. They are natures emissaries of knowledge.
At Concept Catalyst we aim to collaborate, train, develop and produce curriculums that can be the core of any curriculum. Concept Based Curriculum and Instruction is the foundation and basis to approach learning regardless of the shifting currents of educational trends.

We believe that the turtle represents the qualities that our business model values.

Andrew Witthoft

Design Specialist

Education is a big part of my life and has been a source of stability in past years as Covid-19 has changed the world. As the world is changing the need to diversify seems wise, so staying connected to the classroom in a capacity that is allowing me to work to design and develop curriculum independently has been a great balance. I am currently working as a Full Time Cover Teacher at United World College of Singapore. It is our goal at Concept Catalyst to be an instrument to affect significant and meaningful change on education.

I’ve am an educator with 10 years of experience in multiple subjects and various roles within schools. I strive to find ways to inspire and excite students imaginations. One of the ways I believe we do that is to build up students positive self image. I hope to leave a lasting impact of the students that I teach.
