This article is a comprehensive guide to Singapore’s best maths tuition providers. We have compiled a list of reputable maths tutors and a description of their service, specialities and students’ reviews.
At the basic level, mathematics is the study of numbers and spaces, including their properties, relationships, operations, algorithms and applications. Learning at this level is concrete, where the foundation is built using a hands-on approach, such as visual and tactile representation.
However, as students progress to advanced mathematics, they will learn abstract objects and concepts to hone critical skills such as problem-solving, insights, logical reasoning and creative thinking.
In Singapore, students will receive a 10-year compulsory education in maths, including 6 years in a primary school where they will pick up essential skills such as basic numeracy and build their foundation well to instill confidence and interest in the subject.
Based on their PSLE score, students can learn maths at three levels of difficulty, namely G1, G2 or G3, depending on their abilities and interest based on the latest subject-based banding policy to be rolled out in all secondary schools in 2024.
For students who choose the junior college route, the subject is offered at three difficulty levels – H1, H2 or H3, with H3 being the most challenging level to prepare students for S.T.E.M-related courses related to the university adequately Students with a keen interest in maths can also choose to take on future mathematics as an additional subject.
The maths curriculum in Singapore is known for its rigorous yet practical approach to helping students to understand and master the subject, as demonstrated by the consistent top maths PISA scores achieved by the nation’s 15-year-olds.
“Singapore Maths Method” is an effective and well-known product of Singapore’s education system in which its methodologies, such as pictorial symbols, model drawing and even textbooks, are adopted in overseas schools.
1. MOE-aligned maths curriculum
Singapore’s maths adopts a centralised standard curriculum, which means that all schools must follow the topics determined by the education ministry. If you take a careful look at the syllabus, you will notice that the curriculum is highly structured and hierarchical.
Foundational skills of specific topics are taught at the lower primary school levels and must be learned in sequence (e.g.: number sense and operations of four numbers) before broader and more complex concepts are introduced (e.g.: percentage, ratios, algebras). It is important that your chosen tuition centre's syllabus is aligned with that of MOE for your child to reap the benefits.
As there are many different ways to solve a maths problem, the tuition centre needs to employ the method that aligns with the school's approach. To prevent confusion, the topic should be taught in tandem with that of your child’s school. For more advanced students, the tuition centre might move ahead of the school's syllabus. This depends on the assessment of your child's abilities by the tutors.
2. Tutor’s time management of math tuition session
Math can be very abstract and hard to understand for students struggling with the subject. In contrast to languages, where students can look up a word in a dictionary or on the internet to help them build up their vocabulary and understand grammar rules, complex math concepts are best taught and explained by another person.
If a maths tutor spends much of the tuition session asking students to complete worksheets and mark them before going through the answers, your child is unlikely to see improvement in their grades. Do not be shy to ask tutors how they allocate their time in a two-hour tuition session. Ask whether the instructional time is spent to help students understand the concepts, impart strategies to solve higher-order maths questions and clarify their queries.
3. Teaching style and personality of the maths tutor
Students often get frustrated when they try to solve a difficult maths problem umpteen times and still do not get the correct answer. Without a skillful, patient and encouraging tutor, students might feel discouraged and lose interest in the subject.
An effective tutor who incorporates hands-on learning activities, visual aids and clear explanations of complex concepts using real-world examples can help students retain more of their learning over a longer period.
An engaging, encouraging and patient tutor is likely to have more positive interactions with their students, which can impact your child’s math learning experience in a good way, such as by increasing their motivation.
Attend a trial class or meet up with the tutor to get a sense of their personality and teaching style.
4. Additional maths support outside of class
Check with the tuition centre whether additional maths resources such as onan line portal, additional revision papers and support will be provided by the tutors to supplement the student’s learning outside the class. For instance, some tuition centres will provide WhatsApp or email support to help students with their homework if they have questions.
5. Fees and class size
When assessing whether the tuition fee is within your budget, it is important to check the maximum student size per class.
For example, paying a lower fee for a huge class of 16 students might not be as effective as paying slightly higher fees for a class with a maximum of 6 students.
A smaller class size is especially beneficial for math as it is easier for the tutor to identify and address the gaps and misconceptions of your child. There is an increased chance for the tutor to address each student’s questions, providing them with a deeper understanding of the subject.
After understanding the points to consider when looking for a maths tuition centre, we have curated a list of the best maths tuition centres in Singapore to help you decide.

Mr and Mrs Yap are very knowledgeable and experienced teachers. Their lessons and focus on key concepts have greatly helped me to consolidate my learning for H2 Maths. They are patient and are always eager to help me clear my doubts. Thanks to their guidance, I am able to make consistent and good progress, both in school and during A levels. Review by Summer Mr Yap and Mrs Yap have always been very patient in their teaching and clearing any doubts of their students. In spite of the Covid-19 situation, their online lessons were very well organised and efficient with clear explaination of mathematical concepts and workings. After attending their lessons, I have seen great improvement in my maths grade to an A grade in A levels! Review by Ke Yi Tan I am really thankful for Mr Yap’s lessons. It pushed me from S to A eventually for A Level. His lessons are engaging in a sense that he will actively ask u questions so u dont lose attention during the class. There was homework to be actively discussed and techniques to be used to tackle different kind of questions. I have introduced him to my junior who also subsequently did well. 5/5 Review by Lexin Chen |

Mrs Wong is a very dedicated and patient teacher who truly cares about her students. During lessons, she breaks down challenging questions and concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and her worksheets are extremely helpful as they cover a wide range of questions that helped me greatly in preparing for tests and exams. On top of being an engaging teacher who ensures that we can apply concepts learnt, she is also a really helpful teacher who is always willing to answer all our questions. Her lessons helped me to improve my math grades significantly, allowing me to eventually get an A in a levels! Mrs Wong is very patient and understanding, when we struggle with questions, she takes the time to find the error in our answers and instead of feeding us with answers, she guides us to it, so that we can understand the questions better and not repeat the same mistakes. Her notes are concise and easy to refer to, especially right before exams as she has useful formula sheets. Her classes have proven effective as i was able to jump from a C5 to an A1 within 3 months of joining her lessons and was even able to maintain the grade till O levels! Student Name: Jana What I really liked about lessons is that there is structure when it comes to any topic that is being taught, regardless of whether it's physical or zoom lesson. Learning becomes much easier when the lesson is planned; go through with us a bit of the content and then do. This refreshes my mind with the concept and also gives me the time to practise and apply what I have learnt. After every lesson, there is something new that I have learnt. The materials are better than my school's resources. Teacher Debbie's math worksheets really explore the vast type of questions that can be tested during an A-level exam or school exam. Just by diligently practising, I was exposed to more types of math questions to prepare me better for the next exam. With self- discipline on my own part, and largely Teacher Debbie's excellent teaching, I managed to improve from a consistent U throughout the 2 years to a B in my A-levels. Student Name Anne |

He has amazing notes that are concise and easy to understand, and he helped me to comprehend key concepts in math that I struggled to grasp before. He pays attention to the needs of his students and caters his lessons accordingly to allow us to learn more efficiently and effectively. After joining New Dawn, I started to appreciate the beauty of math, and Mr Daniel inspired me to continue practicing and strive for mathematical precision. He is extremely dedicated and will help us with questions outside of class time and even with questions from our own homework. Mr Daniel's explanations are easy to understand and he is undoubtedly one of the best math teachers I have met! Review by Bryan Mr Daniel has really helped me a lot with my H2 math. I started out with little confidence in the subject and a lot of worry as it was just a few months before As but he was very patient in helping me understand all the concepts thoroughly. He also never stopped encouraging me to keep practicing. I went from struggling with math, an E throughout JC, to an A at A levels. Thank you Mr Daniel for all your help! Review by Jing Qian |

He has clarify a lot of my misunderstandings and his explanations of mathematical concepts are very cleared which helped me significantly. He is very approachable and would go out of his way to answer any questions or give consultations if needed. He makes his classes less stressful and more enjoyable by engaging small talks and jokes at appropriate times. Review by Anson Gan Mr Mac is a really patient and chill teacher that explains math concepts well. Instead of solely memorising concepts, he ensures that students are able to grasp an understanding of what they are learning. I think this makes learning math more enjoyable. He also clarified a lot of my misconceptions that i had as well as provided many tips and tricks that i previously did not know about. Lastly, Mr Mac is also encouraging and frequently encourages his students. Review by Jiaxin Mr Mac is an amazing teacher with immense knowledge of mathematics.

I attended Mr Ian’s math lessons at the start of JC 2. I was really happy to see a huge improvement in my math grades form E in prelims to A in A levels! I would like to thank Mr Ian for his continuous support and encouragement. His teaching style is unique and his learning materials were also very useful. Mr Ian would give us tips on answering challenging questions and will be always willing to clear our doubts whenever we had them. I am proud to say that I made the right decision of joining Math Academy!! Thank you Mr Ian. Review by Nishita Moses I attended A maths tuition from Ms Jolyn for 2 years (Sec 3 &4). My A Maths improved tremendously because of my time spent at Math Academy, since Ms Jolyn’s teaching is easy to understand. She provides straightforward, concise and simple ways to remember A Maths concepts and she teaches very well. Whenever I face any problems while solving questions in class, Ms Jolyn knows exactly where I went wrong by having just one look at my workings. She is always ready to help us whenever we face any difficulties. At home, when I face any issues, I can always still text her or watch the videos for each worksheet that she provides us with, for step-by-step solutions and explanations. The amount of practice I’ve been provided with from the Maths Academy , along with Ms Jolyn’s teaching, was greatly beneficial for me. Thank you! Review by Aleena J I came to this A Math tuition with a B4 grade and was constantly struggling with math. After enrolling in this tuition I managed to grasp the math concepts better. The teacher is very friendly and patient. She has also been extremely responsive when there are questions. I managed to attain an A2 grade in Additional Mathematics at O levels. I would like to thank Math Academy for the help that I have gotten. Review by Alphaeus Goh |

Before I even started my first lesson with Mr Wu, he offered to help me over WhatsApp. Whenever I asked a question, he thought very hard before answering, because he always tries to explain in the best way so it would be easier to understand. We also discussed my exam strategy together, where he gave me advice on how best to prepare for the A levels. Mr Wu is a very good teacher. He is patient and kind with his students, and he explains concepts with an understanding and passion that has made me appreciate the subject more. I highly recommend his classes to everyone, especially those with an interest in mathematics, because under his guidance you will be able to develop an even greater enthusiasm for the subject. Review by Jann Kong Mr Wu is a friendly and very patient teacher. I was always afraid of math because I had a weak math foundation and found it difficult to understand questions. However, Mr Wu was very patient and clear when explaining (and re-explaining), and even offered extra zoom consultations (outside of lesson time!) for me to clear up all my doubts. Even after lesson time, he would answer any other questions I had through WhatsApp. Mr Wu also covered a large variety of question types in his lessons and I felt more prepared and confident taking my exams having had large exposure to different questions. He also shared tips on how to solve certain types of questions and his materials were helpful for my revision. I would definitely recommend Mr Wu as your tutor if you are someone who needs a kind and competent teacher! Review by flying catz Ever since I have joined power math. Mr wu had been of tremendous help in my h2 math performance. his lessons covers content throughly with numerous practises to accompany it. Not to mention Mr wu is a very patient and understanding teacher who is always willing to answer all our questions. he is also easily contactable via his whatsapp. Overall, Mr wu has helped me to gain confidence in my ability to perform well in h2 math! my time in power math has been extremely pleasant and i would recommend students who need help in math to join as well!

Mr Peng is a very patient and skilled teacher. His lessons are very interesting and he has shown many ways and tips to solve difficult questions. For myself, even though I started his tuition with a single digit score, he was always more than happy to guide me through questions and ensure that i understood my mistakes. He is also like a buddy to me, therefore his lessons were always very comfortable and enjoyable ! I am super thankful to have him as a tuition teacher and helping me regain my confidence in math! Review by Sarah Khoo Mr Peng has always been a caring and supportive teacher. He is patient when I don't understand a topic or the method and will go through the process again in a way more detailed manner. He always make math lessons very intriguing and engages me every lesson. I am thankful for him as my math Teacher and guiding me all the way through my secondary school life! Mr Yow has been a fun and passionate teacher when it comes to teaching his students science. He helps his students remember topics and important key words easily by forming acronyms for us to remember. He is willing to give up his time to provide for his students need when in doubt of a topic. I am thankful to have known Mr Yow and thankful for him for being my science teacher! Review by Alston Lee Mr Peng's lessons are well-structured and easy to understand. My math improved drastically in a short span of six months. He always checks on me to make sure I am in pace with his lessons, and I never hesitate to consult him after lessons whenever I have doubts to clarify. He doesn't make it seem like a chore that he has to answer my numerous questions, but instead, he always seems happy that I have questions to ask. Thanks to Mr Peng, I got an A for math for A-Levels, despite struggling in math throughout JC! :) Review by Sheryl Kong |

I am glad that my child is a student of Math Lobby. At first, I was in a dilemma whether to put my child in this centre, which I didn't hear before. But when I had a discussion with Mr Nigel, I was sure that my child will be happy to learn from such an experienced tutor who was gentle in talking and patient too. My child enjoyed her classes and she was eager to attend his classes without missing even one. My child scored A's in most of her term exams, so I'm confident that she will score a good grade in her O level too. A big thanks to Mr Nigel. Review by Atchuta Valli I chanced upon Math Lobby online and had a pleasant experience partnering with Teacher Nigel for my girl’s math. In a short span of 5 lessons, my girl managed to jump several grades higher in her following assessment. Impressive! Nigel is a very sincere, kind, patient and understanding person who treats parent like myself and students with respect and courtesy. Thank you, Nigel, for helping my girl in her math. Please keep up with the good job! Review by Siti Zubaidah Nigel has taught 5 of my kids over the last 7 years. The ones who did not respond to other tutors liked him very much, and their exam results have showed. Within a few months one of my daughters got an A for POA after getting 20+% previously. In her final exams, she achieved A1s in E Math and Physics, and A for Additional Math, all thanks to Nigel. The teens find it easy to confide in him and his genuine interest in them makes him a helpful ally of parents to steer them in their choices eg further education, and in encouraging them to persevere in their studies and such.

Mr Humphrey Chang tutors my 2 sons P5 and S1 this year. He connects well with them and managed to build their confidence in Math. Both are progressing well and I can see that they are always looking forward to his lessons. Review by Angela Kok Dear Mr Teo, we are very grateful for ur timely intervention to salvage Amelia's P6 mathematics. She has been failing her math since P4 as she did not have a strong foundation. Thanks for agreeing to take her for intensive one-to-one math tuition in the month of June, clocking more than 3 hours per session, 2 times a week. We saw results from the very first session. You corrected her core foundation and explained it so simply that she was able to grasp it so easily. She gained confidence and started showing less resistance to attempt problem sums. Your method of teaching definitely proved the most effective. She went from straight D's and E's to a C for her prelims. And guess what? She scored a B for PSLE and made it to express stream! We are so thankful for you. Will help spread the word if I know of anyone who needs a miracle tutor! THANK YOU MR TEO! Review by Angela Chan I am a college student in Mathematics. Dr Ng E Jay is an excellent tutor both professionally and academically. He has helped me in analysis, probability, statistics, ODE and geometry. My interest is in applied mathematics. His breath of mathematics knowledge is extensive. Any one who wishes to learn from him should. You will learn not just to pass the exams, but more importantly how to incorporate it in your chosen field of application. Review by Clarence Koh |

1st lesson was with Ms Jasmine Chan. She managed to engage my daughter who usually won't open up during the initial session and can be quite a slow learner. However, it was quite interesting to see my daughter asking Ms Jasmine qns actively and I was surprised when Ms Jasmine said that my daughter is a fast learner. Feedback after the 1st lesson was excellent.. Review by Wan Nooraini Good tuition center, flexible lesson structure where students can request teachers follow consultation teaching format instead of doing new questions/papers.

I never understood Amath and was always lost in class when everyone else seemed to be getting the hang of concepts. School lessons always felt too fast and I fell behind everybody in class. I was too shy to ask my teachers questions and didn't understand when my sisters tried to teach me. I remember getting a 9/30 for my first amath test in school and feeling like I had absolutely no hope for the subject. I only joined AOstudies in September 2021, a month before my SA1s. Chu Wei’s lessons are definitely not easy. They will challenge and test you in ways you would have never thought of before. It took me a while to get used to the rigour of his lessons but once I did, I started to enjoy doing math and challenging myself to do questions I had never seen in school. His tests weren’t easy either and I always dreaded doing them. After each class test, I was always in pure shock at the kinds of questions he tested because of how difficult they were. But in retrospect, it was always those questions that would come out in my school exams and even Os. He is an incredibly skilled teacher who uses his expertise and years of teaching to predict questions and equip us with the skills we needed to solve anything. His carefully-curated notes contain everything you would need when studying. At the start of each topic, Chu Wei would take the time to explain the concepts in depth, instead of force-feeding formulas. He basically taught us what we should have learned in school, such as simplified concepts that help us save important time during our papers. It helped me to understand each topic and I felt like I was learning it for the first time even if I already had in school. His multifarious practices exposed us to all types of questions that could be tested so that when we did encounter them, we would not be stumped during the paper and waste our time. No exam paper is exempt from difficult questions but with Chu Wei’s techniques, you would be able to look past all the tricks and understand what the question is asking for. Chu Wei covers every single aspect of doing well in math, focusing not only on speed but also accuracy. During lessons, he always points out things we could be marked down on; things that weren't taught in school, or things you would otherwise think didn't matter. He would also point out areas where we could possibly make careless mistakes so we don’t throw our marks away. Chu Wei is more than any other tuition teacher and is dedicated to helping his students, be it by taking the time to come early before or stay back after lessons to clear any doubts we may have had about the questions or, communicating patiently over WhatsApp to clarify any issues we had regarding our homework or self-practices. In class, he was always able to recognise my unsure feelings and would go back to re-explain the question until I could fully grasp its concept. He never left us confused about a question before continuing with his lesson. It was clear that he was not just going through the motion of doing practices to finish the 2 hours but actually cared that we learned something in class. Besides academics, Chu Wei always spurred us on. After many desperate attempts to score well in school, Chu Wei encouraged me to keep up my efforts and even took the time to help me realise where I was going wrong so that I could change my methods and study more efficiently. He kept us going during Os when we all wanted to give up through encouraging phrases in each worksheet or mini talks during class. Every class with him was filled with laughter and I really enjoyed going, even for the revision classes that were mentally taxing at times. From a C5 in Prelims, I was able to attain A1s for both Maths! THANK YOU CHU WEI!!! Review by Kayla Maree Chu Wei is a very engaging math tutor and is one of the best teachers out there. He cares for all of his students, clarifying all our doubts during lessons and after lessons. He even provides a variety of snacks, drinks, hot tea and hot towel which helps refresh us for the next half of the lesson. He even allow us to use his lounge (with aircon) for FREE whenever we need a quiet and conducive place to study. Thanks Chu Wei for being an awesome math tutor and helping me do well for A levels. Review by Hulbert Vincent Wu I joined AO Studies after receiving a U grade for math during mid-years, jumped to an A in A levels. During math lessons, he ensures that every student understands the concept before moving on. Outside math lessons, he wouldn't mind spending extra time to individually refresh concepts with us. In addition, he gives alot of good advice regarding various decisions despite it not being part of his job scope. I thoroughly enjoyed math lessons every week and truly believe in his supplementary lessons which are held nearing exam periods. I did not regret joining AO Studies. Thank u Mr Lim!

Mr Tan is a very friendly teacher and goes out of his way to do his best for his students. He is very humorous and always makes lesson fun and exciting.

Mr William (H2 math) was always concise in explanation and shared many tips and tricks to quicken understanding and problem solving! The lessons had good balance of teaching, practice questions and practice papers, so it really helped with my mastery of certain topics. My H2 math grades have significantly improved since I joined in early J2, jumping from S/U to A/B :) They also offer online sessions when travelling is inconvenient, especially since I live fairly far away. Highly recommend! Review by Sharlene Chin I was taught by Teacher William (H2 Math) and joined after failing math in BTs (mid year exams). Teacher William was a very passionate, caring teacher and I could tell that he genuinely enjoyed teaching the subject which made it easier to learn. Orion Tuition Centre also had a good environment to study in with snacks and coffee! With his help, I managed to jump from U in Prelims to B in A levels :) Review by John Lim I joined Orion Tuition after my Promos last year. I had performed really badly for H2 Physics and H2 Mathematics throughout my J1 and thus sought out tuition in the hopes of improving my grades - which definitely did. (I improved a whopping 5 grades within about 7 months) Mr William was my math tutor and I’m truly being honest when I say he is a patient, dedicated and knowledgeable teacher. He is always willing to go out of his way to help his students and often give tips to work smarter in exams. Furthermore, nearer to A Levels, Mr William would organise weekly mock exams where we would go down to the centre to complete a math paper under timing, afterwhich he would go through on the spot. This is all done at no additional cost!! (He even conducted weekly sessions for us, the 2 physics students, as our physics tutor wasn’t able to do so!) Also, his teaching is engaging and he does his best to explain all the concepts such that we truly understand it. Truly a really amazing and dedicated teacher!! Mr Anthoni was my physics tutor, and patient, passionate and thorough are words that really describes him as a teacher. He ensures that he goes through concepts well and often check in on us to see whether we are following the lesson. As my physics class was really small (only 2 students), the pace of lesson was really good and he does his best to cater to both our needs and weaknesses. Really an amazing teacher!! Last but definitely not least, what I really appreciate is how accommodating and supportive my teachers are. We have the option of attending tuition sessions online via Zoom or physical at the centre. This flexibility is especially useful when other plans (school or personal) clashes with tuition sessions. Also!! Should we feel a need to review the lesson again, we can always request our teacher to record the sessions and share it with us. They are always willing to do so!! I really recommend this tuition centre for those in JC!! Review by Bernice Yip |

I was a student of Learners' Lodge @ Bishan and I cannot fully put into words how grateful I am for the help of my tutors Mr Alex Xu and Mr Koh Chee Wee, as well as my centre manager Ms Shirley. Walking into the Learners' Lodge, you will be greeted by your friendly centre manager and her comrade, who takes the effort to know you by name, which is very comforting. Ms Shirley sent me reminders of lessons the day before and also helped to organise/reschedule classes when needed, which I am extremely thankful for with the hectic student life I experienced. Mr Alex and Mr Koh were really quite the amazing people. They went beyond their roles as teachers and provided such genuine care and concern for their students. I especially loved that they were both sooo humble and patient, as they would hear out my (wildly flawed and nonsensical) arguments, before gracefully tackling any misconceptions, while being extremely kind in their words. Not only did this allowed me to grasp a deeper understanding of the subjects, it made me feel comfortable in raising doubts in a classroom setting because they never judge and are always so cool. On top of being there 24/7 on Whatsapp, they also provided a lot of additional practices which they had put in immense thought and effort in marking and leaving comments for. With Mr Alex and Mr Koh around, you will never feel like you're fighting alone. They even asked for photocopies of my test papers so they could go through my mistakes and clear up any queries I had that I did not dare raise in school. Both of them carried out their lessons in an engaging and clear way that never failed to make me feel mindblown :). On top of that, Mr Alex and Mr Koh shared notes that are godsent,,,, for reference, Mr Alex summerised over a hundred pages of my school notes in less than 20 pages, but 95% of the time his notes included all the content I needed to ace my tests. This was the same for Mr Koh's notes. My experience at Learners' Lodge is a very memorable and comforting one, and without Learners' Lodge I could not have achieved the results I did for As. Thank you so much Learners' Lodge! :D Review by Yi Xian My jump in grades from a U to an A at the ‘A’ Levels already speaks volumes about the quality of Mr Sng’s teaching. Before joining TLL, I struggled mainly with interpreting application questions and identifying the concepts and formulas necessary to solve them. Mr Sng’s study hacks and answering tips really broke down the syllabus content into digestible chunks that makes H2 Math accessible for an Arts stream student like myself. His relatable and entertaining anecdotes to exemplify math questions always make lessons more lively and engaging, which is just one of the many ways he connects on a personal level with students! Most of all, I’m grateful for his unwavering faith in us, encouraging me to try again even when I was convinced I was a lost cause, which eventually lead me to excel at the ‘A’ Levels. Thank you Mr Sng for everything! :) Review by Rachel Eng Hey Mr James Tan! Thank you much for being a great teacher, I really mean it! I think it’s awesome how you show us practices outside the notes which are really helpful! Also to mention how helpful the notes you gave us have been! Something I haven’t seen in other teachers, is that you always never fail to give us real-time tips on how to study for our A levels, and also how to manage our sleep and time so we can maximise our energy when doing the papers as it can be so draining. This motivation is really what we all need at this period of time, as studying is so stressful and it really helps lift our mood and give us some hope for the future. Never stop inspiring other students just like how you inspired us! Although it’s not been very Long since I joined, I really have seen tremendous improvement in my physics! Moreover, I also feel that there’s a quote that pulls it all together. “An average teacher explains complexity, a gifted teacher reveals simplicity.” Thank you for making physics so much more manageable! There are some tips you gave that I find so much simpler than what is taught in my school. Review by Sri Vaishnavi |
Zenith Education Studio understands that the biggest problem many students have with maths is their difficulty in grasping new concepts, and the challenge of using the incorrect method to solve equations and not getting a correct answer. All these result in frustration and demotivation, which can lead to loss of confidence.
To address these issues, the centre goes beyond simply providing mathematical problems and equations in its teaching approach. A strong focus is placed to provide clarity of concepts through selective examples and teaching students how to identify the most straightforward and easy methodology to solve each question.
Furthermore, the tutors at the centre are relatively young yet possess ample teaching experience. The advantage is that they are able to communicate effectively with and relate to young students, guiding them to academic success and increase their motivation.

The econs teachers here at zenith are always finding ways to make class more engaging, effective and easy to understand. They are friendly and always have the student’s welfare in mind. They also encourage students to ask questions and even book consults so that students can have their doubts resolved. Furthermore, they provide students with curated notes to help make learning easier. The effort put in by zenith and the impact that zenith had on my grades are the reasons why zenith is the best. Review by Jia Xuan I got to zenith for math and econs. My math teacher, Ming Liang has been a very patient and nice teacher. He often has consults with me upon requests and goes through the concepts I don’t understand thoroughly! I really appreciate how he tries his best to clarify questions his students have:) Review by Lim Hui Ying Fion Attended math tuition with Ming Liang at zenith posting pasir. Really enjoyed the lessons there and I feel the tutors there really helped to expose me to different types of math questions and allowed me to practice math more. Ming was a also great tutor and is always really patient in explaining math questions and concepts. Review by Gary Chen |
21. (bonus) Muscle Math
Led by founder Joshua Tan, the centre operates on the core belief that "Education is nothing without empathy" and "Every student is different."
This is seen from its strong differentiated teaching practices where the emphasis is placed the personalised materials where students in the same class may receive different learning materials based on an assessment.
The centre keeps track of student’s progress through its in-house tests. Class size for math lessons is intentionally kept small for students to receive more focused attention and to adjust their teaching to suit the learning pace of each student.
Just like building muscles to keep one fit and agile, “Muscle Math” focuses on building strength and power in students’ mathematical skills and knowledge for better academic outcomes.

Muscle Math tuition was extremely effective for my A math! I initially struggled with my A Math but after i joined muscle math and having gotten taught by Mr Chiang, my A math had improved by leaps and bounds! Their worksheets were very useful and through mr chiang’s guidance, i secured an A1 for my O’s! Thanks Muscle Math. Recommend everyone to attend muscle math classes! Review by Asher Tan Mr Tan’s lessons are always very engaging and informative, and he does really well in trying to break down concepts right to the basics, making sure we understand fully well our concepts. He also constantly encourages us and pushes us to do better and not give up. The materials prepared for classes always cover a large range and gives us more exposure than school materials and I’m really happy to have seen improvement in my math grades over the course of the lessons. Mr Tan is also a teacher who really values his students learning, he even gave free consultations towards our As to ensure we feel confident in our concepts and is ready to aid us in any way possible. Most importantly, he manages to make math a fun subject to learn!! Review by Jayna I joined MuscleMath after getting a U in my J2 Block Test result. The materials provided such as the notes were easy to understand and useful for revision for my exams. Mr Joshua is also a good tutor who is able to explain concepts easily. He is also willing to spend the extra hours after class to stay back and clarify any of our questions. When we receive our exam paper, he even looks through and helps analyse our weak areas so that we are able to constantly improve. With his guidance, I’ve managed to obtain an A during my prelims.

If you have a child who is sitting for important national level examinations such as PSLE, O or A levels, and you want to help him or her get into the science stream in JC or STEM related course in university where maths score is an important admission criterion, consider hiring a private one to one home tutor.
With home tuition, your child can receive a personalised maths teaching approach that addresses their specific learning weaknesses. Home tutors also have the flexibility to spend more time on complex maths concepts that your child struggles with to improve their understanding.
This individualized attention by a home tutor will be beneficial for students who have difficulty keeping up with the pace of the school, to aid them to catch up, build up their foundation and not fall too far behind. Mathematics requires intense focus when solving problems, which can be a challenge for children who are easily distracted or bored. Under the supervision of a tutor, one-to-one tuition will provide these children with better support to help them succeed.
Check out the home tuition rate for primary, secondary and junior college subjects and you can choose a maths home tutor that best fits your budget based on the qualification of the tutors and their experience.
If you don't know where to start, you can look for a reliable home tutor or engage the services of Tutor City. We help you save time and effort by matching you with suitable tutors based on your requirements. A screening and vetting process is also in place to ensure that each tutor is of high quality. Parents can make use of a phone interview to get a sense of whether a potential tutor will be a good fit for their child.
A star maths tutor has unique qualities that set him or her apart from other tutors.
This includes having excellent maths knowledge to be able to break down concepts, scaffolding students' learning by encouraging them to think critically at an appropriate range within their ability and having the patience to provide encouragement and support when they get frustrated.
It is probably a good idea to schedule a visit to the tuition center to get a sense of the facilities, meet some of the tutors, and observe how students interact with one another.
We hope this article has helped addressed your questions and provided you with good options to consider when looking for the best maths tuition in Singapore.
