G3 Additional Math Tuition for Secondary 4 | Full SBB Punggol Small Group Tuition
A1-Focused, 3-Pax Classes | MOE/SEAB-Aligned
Why Sec 4 G3 A-Math Needs Precision Support
Secondary 4 is the exam year: students must handle advanced algebra, trig identities & proofs, functions/graphs, and full applications of calculus—with speed, accuracy, and clearly structured working. The official O-Level A-Math (4049) specification sets the aims, assessment objectives, scheme of assessment, and content that schools examine. Review the latest syllabus PDF here: SEAB Additional Mathematics 4049, and the live list of syllabuses examined for 2025 here: SEAB O-Level syllabuses (2025). (seab.gov.sg)
MOE’s Full SBB documents also describe the G3/G2 subject architecture and intent of Additional Mathematics at upper secondary. See MOE: G2 & G3 Additional Mathematics syllabuses (PDF) and the G2 & G3 Mathematics syllabuses (PDF). (Ministry of Education)
Punggol Small-Group Model: 3 Pax, Big Gains
At 3 students per class, tutors can pinpoint gaps, rebuild foundations, and coach exam systems that bank method marks even on hard questions.
- Personalised diagnostics & pacing tuned to G3 intensity and each school’s scheme of work
- First-principles teaching (e.g., why identities hold; how differentiation arises from gradient/limits)
- SEAB-style exam systems (timed drills, mark-scheme writing, error-type tracking)

What We Cover for G3 A-Math (Sec 4)
Scope is aligned to SEAB 4049 and MOE G3—we prioritise topics that dominate marks:
- Algebra: surds, logarithms/exponentials, polynomials & partial fractions, inequalities
- Trigonometry: identities & equations, R-formula, graphs & applications
- Functions & Graphs: transformations, asymptotes, sketching & interpretation
- Calculus (Sec 4 depth): differentiation (rules & applications—tangent/normal/max–min/kinematics), introductory integration methods & applications
- Reasoning & Proof: communicating steps to secure method marks under time

6-Week Accelerator to Exam-Ready
Week 1: Algebra consolidation (logs/surds/inequalities) → speed drills & zero-slip checklists
Week 2: Trig identities/equations → scaffolded proofs + “common-step” traps
Week 3: Functions/graphs → transformations, asymptotes, “story-of-the-graph” writing
Week 4: Differentiation mastery → product/quotient/chain + applied questions
Week 5: Intro integration & applications → area/kinematics styles likely to appear
Week 6: Full Papers 1 & 2 under time → mark-scheme writing + targeted re-drills

How We Coach for A1 (Systems > Guesswork)
- Timed SEAB-style practice with strict marking to official schemes
- Error-type tracking (algebra slips, identity step omissions, sign/unit errors) → fixed with micro-drills
- Method-mark frameworks to collect points even when a final step slips

Who This Suits
- Sec 4, G3 A-Math students targeting A1 or needing a final-lap push
- Students who improved content knowledge but still lose marks to timing/working
- IP/IB learners in Punggol who need enrichment-level depth while securing the 4049 core

Parent Playbook (Sec 4, Final Stretch)
- Keep Sec 1–3 algebra warm (short daily sets > weekend cramming)
- Sketch by hand to build function intuition (don’t rely only on calculator plots)
- Sleep & nutrition: protect memory consolidation and sustained focus during long papers
- Paper-timing rehearsals (finish inside time; learn when to bank marks and move)
- Stay looped with tutors: we share quick progress notes so home practice hits the right targets
FAQs
Is it too late to improve in Sec 4?
No. With a focused plan (topics × timing × method marks), big jumps are still common in the final 8–12 weeks.
Do you match my school’s pacing?
Yes. We mirror school sequences where helpful and pre-teach tough units to reduce classroom stress.
How do you handle mixed classes (IP/IB/O-Level)?
We customise worksheets and depth while keeping SEAB 4049 exam security intact for O-Level students. (MOE/SEAB frameworks clarify the role of A-Math at upper secondary: MOE Full SBB syllabuses hub). (Ministry of Education)
