Why Parents Choose Math Academy
“The notes and videos provided in Google Classroom made it very convenient for me to clear any doubts I had.”
Read the full review
Joined Math Academy in Secondary 1, went from getting a ‘C’ for math during PSLE in primary school, to straight As CONSISTENTLY from Secondary 1 all the way to Secondary 4 after joining Math Academy. Under the guidance of Ms Raine (Secondary 1,2) and Ms Jolyn (Secondary 3,4), learning Mathematics wasn’t something I dreaded anymore; due to them being able to explain concepts with patience and clarity, which made everything super easy to understand. The notes and videos provided in Google Classroom made it very convenient for me to clear any doubts I had. FOR ANY PARENTS thinking about signing their child up for this, sign up earlier better than later as foundation is definitely very important in Mathematics, upper secondary will be a breeze if one’s foundations are good, vice versa, if one doesn’t build a good foundation in lower secondary, when reach Sec 3-4, one will be playing catch up.

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!!!

Have attended this tuition since I was in Secondary 1 and have gotten A’s for most of my exams and for my O Level. Notes provided are extremely easy to understand and concise. The teachers really pay attention to each student to support them in their weak topics. When in doubt, the teachers will be very patient to explain to you so that you are able to grasp the concept well. Even after class, the teachers will reply promptly whenever I whatsapp them. Thank you to all teachers that taught me all these years for your effort. Will definitely recommend!
“Initially my grades were around C5, but after her tuition class, i got distinctions for my O' Level.”

How is Secondary 1 Maths different from PSLE maths?
Secondary 1 builds on primary-school arithmetic and introduces more formal algebra, negative numbers and equations. Students learn to use letters for quantities, show each step of a solution and check their answers. A strong grasp of fractions, ratios and basic operations remains useful.
My child just finished PSLE, when should they start Sec 1 Maths tuition?
Contact us with your child’s year of entry to ask about the next Sec 1 intake. If they are already in Sec 1, share the topics they are studying and the areas they find difficult so we can discuss class fit and availability.

Check the class size, who teaches and marks homework, the materials used, lesson times and total fees. Watch a lesson preview and ask about the materials to see whether the explanations suit your child. Ask how the class fits their school’s topic order. Ask too whether the centre can teach your child beyond Sec 1: many of our students stay with us from Sec 1 through to JC2.
