Primary School Math Tuition | PSLE Math Tuition

APMC’s Primary School Math Tuition is meticulously crafted to prepare students to achieve PSLE success starting from Primary 3 where layers of the foundation are constantly laid and materialized through our proven methods of revision. By Primary 6, our students will have the necessary skills, aptitude, and confidence to embrace PSLE Mathematics. To help our students revise effectively, we provide comprehensive notes, concept maps, and regular practice papers. Our curriculum materials are constantly kept abreast with prevailing PSLE trends to ensure that students are ready for the more current questions types

With a small class size of 6 (max 8), we ensure that every student receives our dedicated attention during our classes. Quizzes, games, and real-world projects make the learning of Mathematics interactive, fun, and real for our students. 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 PSLE examination.

To prepare students for PSLE success and beyond, our students will be exposed to topical revision through comprehensive concept maps and noteworthy past examination questions during our Primary School Math Tuition. Students will further solidify their examination skills through error analysis exercises and practice tests.
