SECONDARY O-LEVEL
A-MATH TUITION
SECONDARY 3 TO 4
A-Math:
The Foundation of Problem-Solving
Our Upper Secondary Additional Mathematics (A-Math) programme is tailored for students in Secondary 3 and 4, who wish to deepen their understanding of advanced topics. Secondary A-Math is an optional subject offered alongside E-Math that teaches students mathematical concepts crucial for further education. Doing well in A-Math provides a strong foundation for future concepts taught in Junior College. It focuses on algebraic concepts and logical reasoning, specifically emphasising algebra and calculus, geometry, and trigonometry. This programme aims at equipping our students with the skills needed for complex problem-solving and analytical thinking.
What you can look forward to:
Alignment with MOE
​
​Our Additional Math (A-Math) programme is fully aligned with the MOE syllabus, equipping students with essential skills in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and elementary calculus. We focus on building strong mathematical foundations while exposing students to real-world applications such as optimisation, motion, and financial modelling. Through guided problem-solving and mathematical modelling tasks, students develop the reasoning and analytical skills needed for success in Secondary A-Math and beyond.

Secondary 3
Express A-Math
Syllabus
*The G3 Math syllabus was introduced in 2024 and currently applies only to Sec 1 students. Our Sec 3 and 4 classes still follow the previous Express/NA/NT streams. As G3 rolls out to upper levels in future years, we’ll adapt our programmes to stay fully aligned.
Our programme follows the Secondary 3 A-Math MOE syllabus closely, with a step-by-step approach that builds conceptual clarity and problem-solving confidence. Through targeted practice and real-world application in our Secondary A-Math tuition, we help students transition smoothly into abstract mathematical thinking.
