Maths is challenging. We understand that. We were once students too. With over a decade of teaching experience, our Head Tutor has taught countless students and helped each and every one of them break down mathematical concepts, manage stress, learn examination techniques, retain a healthy balance of study and play, while achieving significant improvements in their grades.
At AWE Academy in Singapore, we know very well that each individual student has a different learning capacity. Keeping this in mind, we adjust our teaching methods to fit the needs of our students.
Learning Environment
One-on-Ones and Small Groups
The type of classroom environment that a tutor creates can significantly influence a student’s ability to feel at ease and thus affect their learning capabilities. A tutor should focus on fostering an environment of acceptance and participation as much as the teaching methodologies employed. Educational research supports cultivating an atmosphere of mutual respect among all participants, so as to allow students to feel confident about expressing their mind and feelings.
At AWE Academy Singapore, rest assured that our Head Tutor is warm and approachable, and students can learn and apply concepts in a safe and non-judgemental environment as they are guided through the O Level Math syllabus.
Breaking Down O-Level Math Concepts
Mathematics is a crucial part of our lives. As per MOE Singapore, “The overarching goal of the mathematics curriculum is to ensure that all students will achieve a level of mastery of mathematics that will serve them well in life, and for those who have the interest and ability to pursue mathematics at the highest possible level.”
In the O-Level Mathematics examination, students are required to be well versed in numerous topics in order to do well. These include Numbers and their operations, Ratio and Proportion, Percentage, Rate and Speed, Algebraic Expressions and Formulae, Functions and Graphs, Equations and Inequalities, Set Language and Notation, Matrices, Angles, Triangles and Polygons, Congruence and Similarity, Properties of Circles, Pythagoras’ Theorem and Trigonometry, Mensuration, Coordinate Geometry, Vectors in Two Dimensions, Problems in Real World Contexts, Data Analysis, Probability.
At AWE Academy O-level math tuition, our job is to break down these complex mathematical concepts into bite sized ‘chunks’ to better aid with the students’ understanding. In order to build a strong foundation, we present new mathematical concepts in a digestible and engaging format, aid their conceptual application by easing the students into increasingly challenging problems, and finally reinforcing and strengthening the foundation through repeated practice and specially curated notes.
Preparing for O-Level Maths Examination
Revise Regularly
As much as some would like to believe otherwise, it is never wise to leave your O-Level Math revision to the last minute. Our Head Tutor understands the common factors that prevent students from developing the good habit of regular revision and actively addresses these issues. These factors may include low self-confidence, lack of understanding, fear of the subject/anxiety, poor organisational skills, inability to understand subject application in life etc.
Practice Makes Perfect
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. However, this is only partly true. In fact, practice makes permanent. Repeated practice of the incorrect application of mathematical concepts will lead to disastrous examination results. Hence, we make it their utmost priority to rectify students’ conceptual misunderstandings at the earliest, and subsequently reinforce the correct conceptual application through repeated practice.
Stress Management
Through regular revision and repeated practice, students will naturally gain confidence which will already significantly reduce examination stress. However, in order to achieve optimal results, we encourage students to strike a healthy balance between study and play, to exercise regularly, sleep early and eat a balanced diet. We also teach students useful techniques to help students to better manage their time during exams.
