Primary School Math Tuition In Singapore

Despite Singapore’s high international ranking in math, the subject continues to be a tricky one for students who are not so good with numbers. With STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education being implemented in primary schools and the relevance of math in many high-performing industries, excelling in the subject is becoming increasingly crucial for students. On top of supplementary classes in school, you can also consider investing in online learning or online tuition classes for your kids as a form of alternative learning method.

Why Math Tuition for Primary School Students in Singapore is Important

Believe it or not, there are actually many benefits that come with enrolling your kids for online tuition learning programmes.

Extra Help Rendered by Teachers

Class size in Singapore primary schools generally ranges from 30 to 40 students. With so many students being taught by one teacher at the same time, it is difficult to get individualised attention from teachers in school. At the same time, attention paid to a single student is significantly lesser than in tuition classes where class size is much smaller. Besides, teachers in schools have to move on to the next chapter regardless of whether every single student has grasped a math concept fully. But here at Superstar Teacher, students can replay and watch lessons at their own pace.

No Textbooks

Instead of teaching according to chapters of a textbook, math tuition classes at Superstar Teacher are conducted according to a specially crafted lesson plan that is aligned with the syllabus set by Singapore’s Ministry of Education. Our programme focuses on preparing our primary school students for important examinations by exposing them to relevant past-year exam questions.

By moving away from textbook-style teaching, we also avoid rote-learning whereby students memorise math concepts without actually understanding or internalising them, which can backfire during tests.
