Math Tuition – Elementary Mathematics | E Math

E Math or Elementary Mathematics is compulsory for students taking O Level or IP year 3 and 4 programmes. The subject is built upon the fundamentals acquired from Secondary 1 and 2 Mathematics. The topics will be covered in E Math in greater depth while students master new and more complex concepts. Our Math Tuition program provides the support and guidance needed to manage this change.

With a small class size of 6 (max 8), we ensure that every student receives our dedicated attention. We champion consistency and active learning in students, equipping them with the skills and wits to carve out their edge in Mathematics / Math and eventually Ace the ‘O’ Level examination.

To prepare students for O-Level success and beyond, our students will be exposed to topical revision through comprehensive concept maps and noteworthy past examination questions. Students will further solidify their examination skills through error analysis exercises and practice tests.
