A-Math Tuition: O-Level Math Specialist

These are our tuition rates for Secondary School level math:

Each A-Math and E-Math tuition class is 1.5-hours long.

The number of tuition classes each week depends on whether it's the exam period:

One advantage of engaging a private tutor is that you can find a schedule that meets your needs.
Here are our weekly timeslots:

We conduct one-to-one and group lessons, and we have a physical class as well as online lessons. Here are the different venues for our math tuition centres in Singapore:

We specialize in the following subjects for our Sec 3 Math tuition and Sec 4 Math Tuition classes:

The Additional Mathematics curriculum is organised into Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. These topics help to build a strong foundation in algebraic manipulation and mathematical reasoning which are crucial for H2 Math in JC and HL Math in IB. For a start, E-Math aims to build confidence and interest in the subject, and teach students the critical thinking skills needed to solve problems.  A-Math furthers the objective of an appreciation of the abstract nature and power of mathematics.

Going from lower secondary to upper secondary math, there is a considerable spike in difficulty. It is typical for students to fail their first few tests in Sec 3, and scoring F9 in the final exam is not unheard of. To help your child understand the rigour of the Additional Mathematics syllabus, contact us for a trial lesson. We can prepare students for Sec 3 with A-Math tuition classes, one-to-one or in a small group.

In terms of content, A-Math is more difficult than E-Math. The fact that E-Math is a pre-requisite for A-Math is indicative of the rigour.

Firstly, the A-Math syllabus assumes knowledge of E-Math. Topics such as Equations and Inequalities, Linear and Quadratic Functions, Indices and Exponential Functions, Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry are common to both A-Math and E-Math. While Trigonometry is introduced in E-Math, it is restricted to acute and obtuse triangles. A-Math expands on the topic using the Unit Circle definition of Trigonometric functions, which rapidly scales up the difficulty. For Geometry, E-Math involves straightforward use of the Circle properties, but A-Math requires detailed proofs in Plane Geometry.

Vectors, Probability and Statistics are topics exclusive to E-Math, but Calculus (comprising Differentiation, Integration and Kinematics) is a major component of A-Math only. In comparison, modest algebraic skills will suffice for E-Math because it has a different focus on “Problems in Real-World Context” which include everyday life problems (travel, transportation, navigation), personal and household finance (simple and compound interest, instalments, utility bills, money exchange). On the other hand, A-Math necessitates a mastery of Algebra, which is the building block for Surds, Partial Fractions, Binomial Expansion, and Logarithms.

With such a rigorous syllabus, it's no wonder that school teachers may not have the opportunity to coach everyone personally, leaving some Advanced Math students in the lurch. That's why a tutor can be necessary for some students. Being able to go through the math examination paper and individually study math questions can help students gain an understanding of the key concepts behind A-Maths.

Having an A-Math tutor will not trivialise the uphill task of mastering this subject, but having someone to catch you when you fall will certainly help students!

Apart from Secondary 3 and Secondary 4 tuition, we also offer A-Level math tuition and IB Math tuition.
