The tuition centre's founder is described on its website as having an MBBS in (child psychology) from the National University of Singapore (NUS). The centre also boasts a teacher who is stated on its website as having an "MBBS" in mathematics.

In a New York Times report, Raffles EduHub’s founder and managing director, Dr Zhong Rui Wen (above), was described as a medical doctor and child psychiatrist.

Checks with both the Singapore Medical Council and the Ministry of Health (MOH) showed that her name is not on their lists of registered doctors.

An Ministry of Health spokesman said it is investigating the matter.

NUS said: “While the university offers a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree programme, we do not offer any undergraduate or graduate degree programme with a specialisation in Child Psychology.”

It also said there is no MBBS in mathematics.

Checks showed the tuition centre is not registered with the Ministry of Education (MOE). The Ministry said it was reviewing an application by the centre.
