How We Turned a Vision Into a Movement

Born from a belief that every child deserves personalized guidance, OMG began as a mission to transform education.

About Us

How We Started

OMG Academy was founded on a simple belief: education should unlock every child’s potential. 

Yet in reality, many families face a broken cycle — parents pay high tuition, schools invest more in buildings than in teachers, and students are left without the personalized guidance they truly need. 

After 15 years and more than 15,000 hours of teaching, Leslie Lai witnessed thousands of students rise — and learned from some of the best teachers around the world. From this journey came one powerful realization:

World-Class Learning Begins with World-Class Teaching.

That insight gave birth to the Teacher-First System — a philosophy that restores the teacher’s role as a guide, coach, and architect of every student’s growth. It’s not about teaching harder; it’s about teaching smarter, with empathy and precision. 

Today, OMG Academy exists to empower teachers and personalize learning for every student. Our mission is clear: to build 1,000 world-class students and 50 world-class teachers — individuals who will carry forward the spirit of excellence and transform the future of education.

What Makes Us Today?

The OMG Way At OMG, we do more than teach mathematics. We develop thinkers, problem solvers, and future leaders through structure, personalization, and mentorship. Then keep your 5 Core Values exactly as they are:

Why Do We Believe?

At OMG Academy, every system is built on one belief: learning is not one-size-fits-all. We combine psychology, data, and mentorship into a single ecosystem:

Together, these principles form the foundation of the OMG Experience — a proven process to build lasting growth for both students and teachers.
