Secondary 1 Mathematics Tuition Ang Mo Kio | What Happens in Secondary 1 Small Groups Tuition

A confident Secondary 1 Mathematics journey begins with a careful transition.

At eduKateSG, we provide Secondary 1 Mathematics tuition for Ang Mo Kio students in premium small groups limited to three students. Each 1.5-hour lesson brings together clear instruction, carefully sequenced practice and close observation of how each student thinks.

The purpose is not simply to complete more worksheets.

It is to help the student understand how Secondary Mathematics works.

Students learn to read algebra, manage negative numbers, organise multi-step working and recognise the structure beneath unfamiliar questions. When these foundations become stable, school lessons become easier to follow and later Mathematics has a firmer base on which to develop.

Our Secondary 1 Mathematics small groups are suitable for students who need to:

  • bridge gaps carried forward from Primary 6;
  • adjust to algebra and symbolic notation;
  • strengthen fractions, ratio, percentage and number skills;
  • improve accuracy and presentation;
  • keep pace with the school programme;
  • learn selected topics ahead of school;
  • become more independent with homework; or
  • build a stronger runway towards Secondary 2 and upper-secondary Mathematics.

Class size is limited to three students.

Lessons are held weekly for 1.5 hours, with lesson materials, guided corrections, focused continuation work and preparation around important school assessments.

The usual first step is a parent–student consultation.


Secondary 1 Is a More Important Transition Than It First Appears

Secondary 1 Mathematics is sometimes treated as Primary Mathematics with slightly harder questions.

That description misses the real change.

The student is entering a different mathematical environment.

In Primary school, many questions can be approached through arithmetic, bar models, repeated procedures and familiar problem types. The student may recognise what a question resembles and reproduce a method that has worked before.

In Secondary 1, the student must begin working with:

  • letters representing unknown quantities;
  • positive and negative values;
  • algebraic expressions;
  • equations and inequalities;
  • formal mathematical notation;
  • coordinates and graphs;
  • longer chains of reasoning;
  • more precise geometry language; and
  • questions combining several concepts.

This is not only an increase in workload.

It is a change in the language of Mathematics.

A student may have performed well at PSLE and still feel uncertain after entering Secondary 1. This does not necessarily mean that the student has become weaker or is not trying.

The student may simply be applying a Primary-school way of thinking to a Secondary-school problem.

A carefully structured Secondary 1 Mathematics programme helps the student make this transition deliberately rather than leaving it to chance.


Arithmetic Must Become Mathematical Structure

Consider a simple statement:

4 × 6 = 24

A Primary-school student may see this mainly as a calculation.

In Secondary 1, the same relationship may appear as:

4x = 24

The numbers remain simple, but the student must now understand that:

  • x represents an unknown quantity;
  • multiplication may be written without the multiplication sign;
  • the equal sign describes a balanced relationship;
  • an operation performed on one side must also be applied to the other;
  • each line of working must remain mathematically valid; and
  • the solution should be checked by substitution.

The student is no longer calculating only with visible numbers.

The student is learning to operate inside a system of relationships.

This is why unexplained shortcuts can become dangerous.

A student may be told to “move the four to the other side” without understanding that both sides are being divided by four. That phrase may appear to work for a simple equation, but it becomes unreliable when the student encounters brackets, negative terms, fractions or unknown quantities on both sides.

At eduKateSG, we return to the principle beneath the shortcut.

Students learn why an operation is valid before they are expected to perform it quickly.

Understanding comes first.

Speed develops afterwards.


Why Ang Mo Kio Parents Choose 3-Pax Mathematics Tuition

A small group of three creates a particular kind of learning environment.

There are enough students for useful comparison, discussion and peer momentum. A student can hear another approach and learn that the same problem may be understood in more than one sensible way.

At the same time, the group remains small enough for the tutor to observe each student closely.

This matters because a wrong answer is only the visible result.

The tutor must identify the exact point at which the student’s reasoning changed direction.

A Secondary 1 student may:

  • apply a negative sign to the wrong term;
  • distribute a multiplier across only part of a bracket;
  • cancel quantities that cannot be cancelled;
  • confuse a term with a coefficient;
  • mistake an expression for an equation;
  • copy an exponent incorrectly;
  • read a graph scale inaccurately;
  • substitute a value into the wrong position;
  • omit a required unit;
  • use a correct formula with incorrect measurements; or
  • understand the concept but present the working poorly.

In a larger class, the final answer may be marked wrong without the underlying mistake being fully examined.

In a 3-pax lesson, the tutor can pause, inspect the student’s working and correct the exact move that caused the error.

What the small-group format allows

  • Immediate correction during practice
  • Frequent opportunities to answer
  • Close checking of mathematical working
  • Questions selected for individual needs
  • Less opportunity to remain quietly confused
  • Pacing that can be adjusted more precisely
  • Calm discussion without large-class noise
  • Guided practice followed by independent attempts
  • Faster identification of repeated error patterns
  • More controlled preparation before school assessments

The class is deliberately small.

It preserves the useful energy of learning with peers while allowing the teaching to remain personal.


Secondary 1 Mathematics Under Full Subject-Based Banding

Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students may take Mathematics at G1, G2 or G3 according to their readiness and subject-level placement.

A useful tuition programme cannot therefore rely on one generic worksheet sequence for every Secondary 1 student.

We consider:

  • the student’s current Mathematics subject level;
  • the student’s Primary 6 foundation;
  • the school’s sequence of topics;
  • the speed at which new ideas are being introduced;
  • recent homework and assessment performance;
  • the kinds of mistakes appearing repeatedly;
  • upcoming weighted assessments; and
  • the amount of independent practice the student can manage.

A G3 student who understands the concepts but loses marks through poor accuracy requires a different response from a student who remains uncertain with fractions and negative numbers.

A student who is coping comfortably may require deeper applications, more demanding variations and stronger explanation habits.

A student who is struggling may need a quieter reconstruction of the earliest unstable skill.

The class must meet the student at the correct point.


What We Teach in Secondary 1 Mathematics Small Groups

Schools may introduce topics in different sequences.

Our lessons take the student’s school programme into account while protecting the mathematical foundation that allows later topics to work.

Numbers and Numerical Structure

Students develop greater control over:

  • positive and negative numbers;
  • order of operations;
  • factors and multiples;
  • prime factorisation;
  • squares, cubes and roots;
  • fractions and rational numbers;
  • approximation and estimation; and
  • numerical patterns.

These topics may appear familiar, but they remain important.

A student who is uncertain with negative fractions will not become stable simply because letters are added to the question. The same numerical weakness will reappear inside algebra, equations, coordinates and formulae.

Algebraic Language

Students learn to recognise and use:

  • variables;
  • constants;
  • coefficients;
  • terms;
  • like and unlike terms;
  • algebraic expressions;
  • substitution;
  • simplification;
  • expansion;
  • early factorisation structures; and
  • simple equations.

We treat algebra as a language.

Students must understand what each symbol means, how the parts of an expression relate and why a particular operation is allowed.

Equations and Mathematical Balance

Students practise:

  • solving simple linear equations;
  • solving equations involving brackets;
  • working with equations containing fractions;
  • forming equations from written information;
  • checking solutions by substitution; and
  • presenting each step clearly.

Instead of depending on unexplained movement rules, students learn the balance principle behind equation solving.

Ratio, Rate and Percentage

Primary-school knowledge is extended into more formal applications involving:

  • equivalent ratios;
  • comparison of quantities;
  • unit rates;
  • percentage change;
  • reverse percentage;
  • proportional reasoning; and
  • translating written relationships into mathematical form.

The student must increasingly recognise the relationship described by the question rather than search only for familiar keywords.

Geometry and Mensuration

Students strengthen their understanding of:

  • angle properties;
  • parallel lines;
  • triangles and quadrilaterals;
  • polygons;
  • perimeter and area;
  • surface area and volume;
  • geometric notation; and
  • diagram interpretation.

Diagrams are treated as reasoning tools.

Students learn to mark information, identify relationships and use the visual structure of the question to support a logical solution.

Coordinates, Graphs and Data

Depending on the school’s sequence, lessons may include:

  • the Cartesian plane;
  • coordinates;
  • reading scales;
  • plotting points;
  • interpreting relationships;
  • reading and constructing graphs;
  • statistical representations; and
  • drawing conclusions from data.

The objective is not merely to draw a graph correctly.

The student must understand what the graph communicates.


How eduKateSG Teaches Secondary 1 Mathematics

A strong Mathematics programme should do more than demonstrate a procedure and assign a large collection of similar questions.

The student needs a structure that keeps knowledge usable after the lesson has ended.

1. We Diagnose the Exact Weakness

Descriptions such as “weak in algebra” are often too broad.

A student appearing weak in algebra may actually be struggling with:

  • negative-number control;
  • multiplication fluency;
  • fraction operations;
  • symbolic reading;
  • expansion;
  • equation balance;
  • written interpretation;
  • working-memory overload;
  • uncertainty about where to begin; or
  • confidence under time pressure.

Each cause requires a different correction.

We examine schoolwork, ask targeted questions and observe how the student begins, continues and checks a problem.

The opening move is often revealing.

A student who does not know how to begin may lack conceptual recognition. A student who begins correctly but loses control halfway may have an execution or organisation problem. A student who completes the question correctly during class but cannot reproduce the method later may have a retrieval problem.

The tuition plan should respond to the actual cause.

2. We Rebuild from the First Unstable Point

When an earlier skill is interfering with the current topic, we return to it.

This is not moving backwards.

It is restoring the floor beneath the student.

A student making repeated errors in algebraic fractions may first need to stabilise ordinary fraction operations. A student struggling with equations may need stronger control over inverse operations and negative numbers.

Once the missing connection is repaired, the current topic often becomes considerably easier.

We do not repeat the entire Primary Mathematics syllabus unnecessarily.

We repair the particular bridge that is no longer carrying the student forward.

3. We Use the Fencing Method

New concepts are introduced within a clear and manageable boundary.

For example, a student learning equations may begin with:

  • positive whole numbers;
  • one operation;
  • one unknown;
  • a clean equation; and
  • no distracting language.

Once that structure is secure, we introduce:

  • negative values;
  • brackets;
  • fractions;
  • unknown quantities on both sides;
  • worded applications; and
  • mixed-question conditions.

Each additional difficulty is introduced deliberately.

The student learns where the method works, why it works and what changes when the question’s conditions change.

This prevents complexity from arriving as one undifferentiated wall.

4. We Move from Visible Meaning to Abstract Notation

Where useful, we move through a Concrete–Representational–Abstract progression.

An idea may begin with:

  • a familiar quantity or situation;
  • a number line, diagram or visual model; and
  • formal symbols and algebraic notation.

This is particularly helpful for students who can perform a memorised operation but cannot explain what it means.

Abstract Mathematics becomes more manageable when the student can connect the symbols to a relationship that is already understood.

5. Students Think Aloud

Students are regularly asked to explain:

  • what the question is asking;
  • what information has been provided;
  • which relationship matters;
  • why a particular method is suitable;
  • what each line of working achieves;
  • how the answer can be checked; and
  • whether the final result is reasonable.

Explanation makes understanding visible.

A student may produce a correct answer through imitation without fully understanding the method. Asking the student to explain the reasoning allows the tutor to distinguish real control from temporary copying.

It also reveals confusion before it becomes a repeated habit.

6. We Retrieve and Interleave

A topic is not considered secure simply because the student completed it correctly on the day it was taught.

Students revisit earlier learning after time has passed.

New and older topics are also mixed so that the student must identify the correct method rather than repeat whichever procedure appeared in the preceding example.

This is closer to what happens in a school assessment.

The paper does not announce the chapter before each question. The student must recognise the mathematical structure independently.

7. We Establish Examination Discipline Early

Secondary 1 is an appropriate time to develop:

  • neat and readable working;
  • one logical step per line;
  • correct use of equal signs;
  • accurate copying;
  • labelled diagrams;
  • appropriate units;
  • estimation checks;
  • sensible time control; and
  • final-answer verification.

These habits are easier to establish now than to repair under upper-secondary examination pressure.

Working is not decoration.

It is part of the mathematical argument.


What Happens During a 90-Minute Small-Group Lesson

Each lesson is adjusted to the students in the group, but a stable rhythm helps learning remain purposeful.

Warm-Up Retrieval

Students begin with a short set drawn from earlier learning.

This allows the tutor to check retention, reactivate prerequisite knowledge and identify whether a previously corrected mistake has returned.

Concept Instruction

The tutor introduces or revisits the central idea.

The explanation focuses on meaning, structure, mathematical language and common misconceptions.

Students are not only shown what to do.

They are shown what the question means and why the method is valid.

Guided Practice

Students attempt selected questions while the tutor remains close enough to observe the developing working.

Prompts may be given initially.

These prompts are gradually reduced as the student gains control.

The objective is not permanent assistance. It is a careful transfer from supported performance to independent performance.

Independent Application

Students complete selected questions without step-by-step guidance.

This is an important stage.

A student may understand an explanation while listening but still be unable to begin independently. The independent attempt shows whether the knowledge can be retrieved and applied without the tutor carrying the process.

Variation and Mixed Practice

Once the basic form is stable, the question is changed.

The student may encounter:

  • different numbers;
  • a different arrangement;
  • an additional condition;
  • unfamiliar wording;
  • another concept combined with the current one; or
  • a short timing requirement.

Variation shows whether the student understands the structure or merely remembers the appearance of the original example.

Error Review

Mistakes are examined and classified.

The student learns whether an error came from:

  • conceptual misunderstanding;
  • incorrect reading;
  • weak recall;
  • arithmetic;
  • notation;
  • poor organisation;
  • inaccurate copying; or
  • rushing.

A correction is more useful when the student knows what kind of mistake occurred.

Focused Continuation Work

Home practice is selected with purpose.

The intention is to reinforce the lesson and preserve continuity between sessions. It is not to produce an indiscriminate pile of worksheets.

A smaller set of well-chosen questions may be more useful than a large set that repeats the same misunderstanding.


Three Secondary 1 Student Pathways

Students do not enter tuition for the same reason.

A useful programme identifies the pathway that matters most at the student’s present stage.

The Repair Pathway

This student may already be struggling with:

  • fractions;
  • negative numbers;
  • algebra;
  • ratio or percentage;
  • word problems;
  • school homework; or
  • repeated weak assessment results.

The immediate priority is to stop the drift.

We locate the earliest unstable skill, rebuild it and reconnect it to the school topic.

The student still keeps sight of current schoolwork. However, new procedures are not placed repeatedly on top of a foundation that cannot support them.

The Stabilisation Pathway

This student is passing, but performance is inconsistent.

One assessment may be comfortable while another produces a sudden decline. The student may understand during lessons but forget the method later, lose negative signs, rush through simple work or struggle when several topics are mixed.

The priority is dependability.

The student needs stronger retrieval, cleaner execution and a more consistent checking system.

The Extension Pathway

This student is coping well and requires greater depth.

The work may include:

  • less routine applications;
  • unfamiliar problem structures;
  • more demanding algebra;
  • multiple solution methods;
  • stronger mathematical explanation;
  • connections between topics; and
  • preparation for later upper-secondary Mathematics.

The priority is not to rush through chapters merely to appear advanced.

It is to deepen control.

A capable student should learn to remain accurate when the question becomes unfamiliar, compressed or less directly guided.


Why Algebra Receives Special Attention

Algebra is not simply one chapter in Secondary 1.

It gradually becomes the operating language of Secondary Mathematics.

It appears in:

  • equations;
  • coordinates;
  • graphs;
  • formulae;
  • geometry;
  • ratio and rate;
  • percentage;
  • functions;
  • trigonometry;
  • statistics;
  • Physics;
  • Chemistry; and
  • later Additional Mathematics.

An early weakness in algebra should therefore not be treated as a small, isolated problem.

A student who avoids algebra in Secondary 1 may meet the same difficulty repeatedly in more complex forms.

Our aim is to help students become comfortable with algebra before avoidance becomes part of how they see themselves.

Letters should not appear as mysterious obstacles.

They are useful representations of quantities and relationships.

Once students understand this, algebra becomes less like a collection of arbitrary rules and more like a precise way of describing how Mathematics works.


How We Reduce “Careless” Mistakes

“Careless” is often too broad a diagnosis.

Different errors have different causes and require different corrections.

Reading Errors

The student may overlook words such as:

  • difference;
  • increase;
  • remaining;
  • at least;
  • consecutive;
  • total;
  • maximum;
  • minimum; or
  • not drawn to scale.

The correction may involve deliberate annotation, slower reading and translation of important phrases into mathematical relationships.

Sign Errors

The student may lose control when subtraction, negative numbers and brackets appear together.

The correction may require a number line, clearer conceptual understanding and slower symbolic handling before speed is reintroduced.

Arithmetic Errors

The method may be correct, but a basic calculation is wrong.

The correction may involve estimation, reverse checking, stronger number fluency or a more organised written layout.

Copying Errors

A number, sign or exponent may change between lines.

The correction requires disciplined presentation and a line-by-line scan.

Method Errors

The student may apply a familiar procedure to a question with a different structure.

The correction requires better recognition rather than more repetition of the same method.

Presentation Errors

The student may omit working, compress several operations into one unclear line or use the equal sign incorrectly.

The correction is to treat working as part of the solution rather than an optional extra.

Time-Pressure Errors

The student may rush through the early part of a paper and leave insufficient time to check.

The correction may involve timed micro-sets, question selection and a more controlled paper strategy.

We look for error patterns instead of treating every wrong answer as an isolated accident.

Once the pattern becomes visible, the correction can become precise.


Teaching Ahead Without Rushing

Where appropriate, we introduce selected topics before they appear in school.

The purpose is not to race through the syllabus.

It is to give the student a calm first encounter with unfamiliar language, symbols and methods.

When the same topic later appears in school:

  • the terminology is already familiar;
  • the notation feels less intimidating;
  • the student can follow the school teacher more easily;
  • class practice becomes consolidation;
  • questions can be asked more intelligently; and
  • confidence begins with recognition rather than surprise.

Teaching ahead is useful only when the earlier foundation is ready.

We do not place new chapters on top of serious unresolved gaps merely to claim faster coverage.

Some students need repair before acceleration.

Others may repair one area while learning ahead in another.

The sequence is adjusted carefully.


What Progress Should Look Like

Progress is not limited to one test score.

Parents may first notice that the student:

  • begins homework with less resistance;
  • requires less prompting to start;
  • asks more precise questions;
  • shows clearer working;
  • checks negative signs and units;
  • identifies mistakes independently;
  • explains a method with greater confidence;
  • completes routine questions more efficiently;
  • remains calmer with unfamiliar questions; and
  • produces more stable school results.

Marks tend to improve when understanding, retrieval, accuracy and execution begin working together.

However, responsible tuition should not promise an immediate grade transformation after one or two lessons.

The rate of improvement depends on:

  • the size and age of the existing gap;
  • lesson attendance;
  • school workload;
  • practice between lessons;
  • the student’s willingness to correct old habits;
  • confidence and learning readiness; and
  • the time available before an assessment.

Our role is to make the improvement process visible, structured and teachable.


When Should an Ang Mo Kio Student Begin Secondary 1 Mathematics Tuition?

Support may be useful when a student:

  • struggled with fractions, ratio or percentage in Primary 6;
  • says that algebra makes no sense;
  • frequently loses negative signs;
  • cannot explain how an answer was obtained;
  • understands examples but cannot begin homework;
  • depends heavily on answer keys;
  • performs well during practice but poorly in tests;
  • is beginning to fall behind the school sequence;
  • avoids showing working;
  • requires extensive parental help;
  • takes too long to complete routine questions; or
  • wants a stronger foundation before Secondary 2.

Parents do not need to wait for a serious failure.

Early support is often quieter and more efficient because fewer layers of misunderstanding have accumulated.

A student who is already coping confidently may not require tuition automatically.

Tuition becomes useful when there is a clear purpose: repair, stabilisation, structured extension or preparation for the next stage.


Placement for Ang Mo Kio Families

eduKateSG operates small-group classes from its Punggol and Bukit Timah locations, with attendance by appointment.

Ang Mo Kio families may discuss the most practical placement during the parent–student consultation.

Placement is not decided by postcode alone.

We consider:

  • the student’s current subject level;
  • the topics being covered in school;
  • the student’s learning needs;
  • the pace of the available class;
  • timetable compatibility;
  • travel arrangements; and
  • whether the group is a suitable learning match.

Because each class is limited to three students, a placement must work educationally as well as logistically.

A student who needs patient foundation repair should not be placed in a class moving rapidly through extension work. Similarly, a student ready for deeper applications should not be held inside a group that requires a substantially different pace.

The quality of the class fit matters.

What Parents Can Bring to the Consultation

Useful materials include:

  • recent school test papers;
  • marked assignments;
  • topical worksheets;
  • the school’s current topic schedule;
  • the student’s Mathematics textbook;
  • teacher comments;
  • report-book results; and
  • examples of questions the student finds difficult.

We are not examining only the final score.

We are looking for repeated patterns.

A result of 60% may represent a serious conceptual gap. It may also represent a capable student who understands the work but loses marks through inaccurate copying, incomplete presentation or poor time control.

Those students require different plans.

The consultation helps determine whether the student presently needs repair, stabilisation or extension.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is Secondary 1 Mathematics tuition mainly about algebra?

Algebra is central to the transition, but it is not the only concern.

Students also need stable number skills, fractions, ratios, percentages, geometry, graphs, data interpretation and multi-step problem-solving ability.

Algebra works best when the numerical foundation beneath it is secure.

My child did well for PSLE Mathematics. Is tuition still necessary?

Not automatically.

A student who is learning confidently, completing work independently and adapting well may not require additional support.

Tuition becomes useful when the transition exposes a gap, school pace becomes difficult or the family wants structured extension beyond routine work.

My child is already struggling. Will lessons restart the whole Primary syllabus?

No.

We return only to the foundations affecting present Secondary 1 work.

For example, ordinary fractions may be revisited because they are causing algebraic errors. The purpose is not to repeat Primary school unnecessarily.

It is to repair the specific connection preventing current progress.

Do the lessons follow my child’s school topic order?

The school sequence and upcoming assessments are considered.

However, an earlier skill may need attention before the current school topic can become stable.

A useful programme protects both immediate school readiness and the longer mathematical structure.

Does eduKateSG teach ahead of school?

Yes, when the student’s foundation is ready.

Pre-teaching gives the student a calm first encounter with a topic before it appears in a faster classroom setting.

We do not rush ahead when earlier concepts remain insecure.

How are careless mistakes corrected?

Errors are separated into categories such as reading, concept, arithmetic, negative signs, copying, notation, presentation and time management.

The correction is matched to the actual pattern.

Simply telling a student to “be more careful” is rarely enough.

Will Secondary 1 tuition prepare my child for Additional Mathematics?

Secondary 1 students do not need premature Additional Mathematics drilling.

They need a strong runway:

  • numerical accuracy;
  • algebra fluency;
  • symbolic confidence;
  • logical working;
  • strong retrieval; and
  • the ability to learn unfamiliar mathematical structures.

These foundations later support both Mathematics and Additional Mathematics.

How quickly should improvement appear?

Some students show better confidence, organisation and homework independence within several lesson cycles.

Larger conceptual gaps require more time.

Progress depends on the starting point, attendance, continuation practice, school demands and how near the student is to an assessment.

Can a student join during the school term?

Yes, subject to a suitable 3-pax placement.

The student’s current work and learning needs should first be reviewed so that the class pace is reasonably compatible.

Why choose three students instead of a larger class?

A larger class may be sufficient for a student who requires only general revision.

A 3-pax class is more suitable when the student needs:

  • close inspection of working;
  • frequent questioning;
  • individual pacing;
  • targeted foundation repair;
  • carefully adjusted difficulty; or
  • active participation that cannot be avoided.

Will my child become dependent on the tutor?

The lesson structure is designed to reduce dependency.

Students move from explanation to guided practice and then to independent application. Prompts are withdrawn as the student gains control.

The long-term objective is not a student who can work only when the tutor is present.

It is a student who knows how to begin, continue, check and correct Mathematics independently.


Secondary 1 Mathematics Tuition for Ang Mo Kio Families

Secondary 1 is where students begin learning the deeper grammar of Mathematics.

Numbers become relationships.

Unknown quantities become algebra.

Diagrams become reasoning tools.

Working becomes part of the answer.

A carefully taught student does more than remember the correct steps. The student begins to understand why those steps belong together.

At eduKateSG, our 3-pax Secondary 1 Mathematics small groups provide the attention, structure and calm working space needed to make this transition properly.

For students who are behind, we rebuild.

For students who are coping but inconsistent, we stabilise.

For students who are ready, we extend.

The objective is a student who can enter Secondary 2 with stronger foundations, clearer mathematical language and the confidence to approach more demanding work without losing control.

Arrange a Parent–Student Consultation

Speak with eduKateSG about your child’s current subject level, school results, learning gaps, timetable and upcoming assessments.

Useful materials may include recent test papers, marked schoolwork and the school’s current topic sequence.

Class size is limited to three students.

Lessons are 1.5 hours weekly.

Placement is by appointment and subject to a suitable class match.

Properly taught kids shine a bright light into the future.
