Additional Mathematics (4049) is widely regarded as one of the toughest O Level subjects, and for many Sec 3 students it is where grades drop one or two bands after a confident lower secondary start. Our classes are built for students who want to master calculus and advanced algebra and walk into the O Levels confident, and every worksheet is personally marked.

I highly recommend Math Academy, especially for students who may be struggling with Secondary 3 mathematics. I had been failing A Math throughout the year until I joined Math Academy. Ms Jolyn is exceptionally patient and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure her students understand every type of question. The additional learning materials uploaded to Google Classroom also provide a convenient and effective way to review and reinforce what we covered in class.

My child took AMaths lessons with Ms Jolyn Ang since S3. Under her guidance, my child has constantly maintained A grades both in school and at the O levels. She patiently explains and allows clarification for questions. Notes provided are concise and easily understandable. Practise papers given are up-to-date and has helped my child stay consistent with his studies. Personally, Math Academy would be a good choice for those wanting to excel in Math!

I first joined Math Academy with a C5 in Amath! However under Teacher Jolyn's guidance, I am proud to say that I have improved to be an A1-A2 student! Learning materials are extremely concise, allowing us to grab hold of the concepts easily. Doubts that I once had in school were instantly cleared with the explanations given by Teacher Jolyn. Additionally, Teacher Jolyn always go the extra mile to check in on us so that we know that we are being cared for. She has definitely played an important role in allowing me to achieve today's successes. :)

Before joining Math Academy, I had never passed Amath before and was very weak in basic concepts. When I joined Math Academy, teacher Jolyn helped me greatly by teaching me the basics and providing me with ample practice. The notes provided were concise and I referred to them throughout revision. She was always willing to help me with extra questions and answered any queries through Whatsapp. Within a short period of 6 months, I achieved A1 during O Levels. Thank you so much teacher Jolyn! :)

“He always explains concepts thoroughly until we fully understand them, and his notes are detailed yet concise.”
Read the full review

Mr Ang is genuinely one of the most sincere and patient teachers I’ve ever met. He always explains concepts thoroughly until we fully understand them, and his notes are detailed yet concise. Compared to my school notes which are often wordy and confusing, his notes make learning so much clearer and efficient. Each set of notes covers every possible question type for each topic, making it much easier to grasp the concepts, especially during exam preparation. He ensures that every question I have is answered and even takes the time to circle all of my mistakes when I send him questions over Whatsapp. I have never felt embarrassed no matter how many questions I had to ask as Mr Ang was always so patient and willing to help, which was extremely helpful for a student with weak foundations like me. Joining this tuition genuinely saved my Math in JC, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Read the full review

I attended A Maths tuition from Ms Jolyn for 2 years (Sec 3 &4). My A Maths improved tremendously because of my time spent at Math Academy, since Ms Jolyn’s teaching is easy to understand. She provides straightforward, concise and simple ways to remember A Maths concepts and she teaches very well. Whenever I face any problems while solving questions in class, Ms Jolyn knows exactly where I went wrong by having just one look at my workings. She is always ready to help us whenever we face any difficulties. At home, when I face any issues, I can always still text her or watch the videos for each worksheet that she provides us with, for step-by-step solutions and explanations. The amount of practice I’ve been provided with from the Maths Academy, along with Ms Jolyn’s teaching, was greatly beneficial for me. Thank you!

I joined Math Academy after scoring multiple F9s in Math, but under the guidance of teacher jolyn, I was able to improve tremendously to achieve A1 in my Math and AMath papers in my 'O'levels. All the teachers there are very kind and patient. They will care for their students by checking up on students' understanding of the concepts once in a while. The teaching materials are very clear and concise, emphasising on all the key concepts. The teachers are able identify my problems in a question very quickly and point out with detailed explanations, allowing me to learn better. I believe Math Academy has played a huge role in helping me achieve good grades. ^-^

“The notes given were concise, yet enough to allow us to understand the concept.”
Read the full review

I have been attending Amaths tuition here since Sec 3 MYE. I came in being unclear of most of the topics taught in that semester and misunderstood some of the concepts, hence I got an F9 for that paper. Going to Math Academy was definitely effective in helping me improve on my Amaths. During the teaching of a new chapter, Teacher Jolyn would explain clearly the concept and then apply the concept in a few questions and go through with us step by step on how to solve the problem. The notes given were concise, yet enough to allow us to understand the concept. The practice questions in the worksheets given were challenging and it forced us to think critically. Whenever we had any doubts, Teacher Jolyn would come and help us individually and explain the processes of solving it. She was very patient in answering our many questions. The tuition was really helpful as in the end, I managed to get A1 for the O Levels. Overall, I would definitely recommend Math Academy to those who are searching for a math tuition centre.

“However, after joining Maths Academy in Secondary 1, my passion and interest for this subject grew.”
Read the full review

In Primary School, Mathematics had been a problem for me. I used to detest the subject a lot and often, could not do well for Maths in primary school. However, after joining Maths Academy in Secondary 1, my passion and interest for this subject grew. I began to love solving Maths questions, and sometimes, even treating it like a hobby The style of teaching and resources that this tuition provide is so essential and so helpful. I could consistently get A's since Sec 1 all the way to Sec 4 is due to the very patient and caring teachers, Ms Raine and Ms Jolyn. They use simple yet effective methods to teach concepts and questions that i stumble upon. I have obtained A1 for my Additional Mathematics in O'Levels due to help i have gained in my Amaths Tuition Class. Highly recommend joining this tuition!!!

Watch a Real Lesson Before You Decide

These are real teaching clips from our Sec 3 and Sec 4 A Maths lessons, not promotional videos. You will see how Mr Ian structures a concept, breaks down each question type step by step, and teaches the answering habits that markers reward. Every weekly lesson is also streamed live on Zoom and recorded, so students can rewatch their own lessons any time.

Every A Maths Question Type, Ranked by How Often It Is Tested

For every chapter, we classify the question types by how often they appear in exams, from the ones that come out almost every year to the rare ones. Your tutor makes sure your child is taught all of them, each with the key strategy to solve it and a simple way to remember that strategy under exam pressure. By the O Levels, nothing in the paper is a surprise.

Exam Strategy

A Strategy for Every Additional Mathematics Topic

Each of the 16 A Maths topics is broken into its question types, ranked by how frequently they appear in exams. Every type is taught with the strategy to solve it and a memory hook to recall that strategy when it counts. Students walk into the O Levels knowing that every question is one they have already practised, not a formula they are meeting for the first time.

“Mr Ang goes through every single question type and gives practice for each. At my A Levels, a question came up that most students could not do because school never covered it, but I finished it swiftly because I remembered the method from his notes.”

  4. Keyword Training

    Identifying Keywords to Score Marks

    Students are taught to identify key concepts and keywords in questions, improving problem-solving speed and cross-linking concepts, a critical skill that separates A1 students from B3 students.

Our Centre in Bukit Gombak

Every detail of our classroom is planned with the Sec 3 and Sec 4 student in mind: individual tables, ample space, and a clean organised layout that promotes better concentration and a more enjoyable study experience for upper secondary math classes.

Complete O Level Additional Mathematics Syllabus (4049)

Every topic in the MOE Additional Mathematics syllabus (4049) is covered across Sec 3 and Sec 4, so no chapter is left unprepared going into the O Levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should my child take A Maths in Sec 3?

If your child is aiming for JC and plans to take H2 Mathematics, science streams in polytechnic, or any engineering or business-related course at university, A Maths is strongly recommended. A distinction in A Maths significantly improves the L1R5 score for JC admission, and the topics covered (calculus, trigonometric identities, logarithms) are direct prerequisites for H2 Math. Students who skip A Maths often struggle in JC1 Math.

What is the difference between A Math and E Math?

E Math (syllabus 4052) is compulsory for all O-Level students and covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and probability. A Math (syllabus 4049) is an elective taken from Sec 3 onwards by stronger G3 students. It dives much deeper: calculus (differentiation and integration), logarithms, surds, trigonometric identities, and advanced algebra. A Math builds directly on E Math, so a weak E Math foundation usually means a struggle in A Math. Math Academy offers both Add Maths tuition and E Maths tuition.

Is A Maths tuition needed for IP students?

Yes. IP students benefit just as much. While IP students skip the O Levels, the Sec 3 and Sec 4 A Maths content is still examinable in their school exams, and most IP schools cover similar topics with added depth and pace. Math Academy’s Add Maths classes are open to both G3 and IP students, and the in-house notes are pitched to handle the higher-order thinking questions IP schools tend to set. Many of our IP students come from River Valley High, Cedar Girls, and Singapore Chinese Girls School.

How early should we start A Maths tuition?

Starting at the beginning of Sec 3 is ideal. A Maths introduces several new concepts in the first few months, such as partial fractions, indices and surds, and polynomials, that form the foundation for everything that follows. Students who fall behind in this stretch often spend the rest of Sec 3 and Sec 4 trying to catch up. Math Academy runs Sec 3 maths tuition headstart lessons in late Sec 2 or early Sec 3 to give students a smooth introduction. That said, students can join at any point in Sec 3 or Sec 4. Our students have improved significantly even when joining months before the O Levels.

Do you support both G3 and IP syllabus?

Yes. The MOE A Maths syllabus is the same backbone for both G3 and IP students. The difference is in the depth and difficulty of questions. Our in-house notes cover all 16 topics with bite-sized concept teaching, and the worksheets include the higher-order thinking questions IP schools tend to set. In our small classes, your tutor calibrates support to each student’s school and ability level.

Can my child join mid-year?

Yes, students can join at any point in the year. Lessons follow the school syllabus closely, so your child slots into a class in progress and moves with it from day one. Lessons are recorded from the week your child joins, so anything taught after joining can be rewatched any time. WhatsApp us to check current openings for sec 4 maths tuition, or visit our timetable page for available slots.
