Hurdles Faced by Secondary 4 Maths Students
Lagging behind on the Math curriculum
Students may still be struggling to grasp the mathematical concepts that they learned in previous years. Furthermore, students may be discouraged by poor performance in previous exams, which will affect the student’s performance in the current year. However, students can engage a Tutor City tutor at an affordable rate to improve their Mathematics grades. At Tutor City, our large database of dedicated tutors will give their best to catch students up on concepts that they had not previously grasped. Thus, students will be equipped with the requisite skills to ace their exam papers.
Time management
Another issue faced by students is the inability to complete their Maths exam papers on time. This is due to insufficient practice with past year's Maths papers to tackle the various permutations of Maths questions available. As such, students may feel lost during the exam as they are unsure how to tackle the questions, handing in incomplete papers with half-baked answers with the wrong working. With a tutor, students will have weekly practice and exposure to the different types of Maths questions available to improve their Maths skills.
Math anxiety
Students may be afraid of numbers due to a mistaken impression that they are “bad at math”. However, it is not the student’s innate ability to be bad at math that the student should be concerned about, but rather how to understand the concepts in a manner that suits their learning style. Different people understand concepts differently, and a Tutor City tutor is highly important to the student’s understanding as they can explain the relevant concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
Inability to grasp mathematical concepts
In secondary school, many students will feel overwhelmed as they are seemingly bombarded by a whole plethora of content. Students will thus feel as though they cannot grasp the necessary mathematical concepts, which would make them feel worried and overwhelmed. However, with Tutor City’s Secondary 4 Maths tuition, students can rest assured that they can undertake additional revision to help them grasp the mathematical concepts better.
The Importance of Engaging a Secondary 4 Maths Tutor

At Tutor City, all our tutors have had experience with the Secondary 4 Maths syllabus and would be able to guide your child to the best of their ability so that they can reach their full potential.
Personalised guidance
At Tutor City, we understand that every child has different needs and abilities. As such, all our tutors are trained to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of every child, tailoring their lesson plans to their abilities. It is important that the child knows their learning style so that they can learn how to study and revise the various topics in Mathematics.
Helping students overcome Math anxiety
With a Tutor City tutor, students will gain confidence, helping them overcome Math Anxiety. The more practice a student gets, the more confidence he/she will feel in tackling the exam papers. It is important for students to be in the right mental frame before undertaking any exams, which will put them in a good state of mind. A good mental state correlates with better performance during the Mathematics examinations.
Helping students get enough practice
At Tutor City, we pride ourselves on keeping up with all the permutations of questions students may be asked during their examinations.

Good Qualities of a Secondary 4 Maths Tutor

With a strong track record, you can rest easy as you let your child improve their Mathematics knowledge.
Prior experience with students from the same level
It is highly important that the tutor has prior experience teaching students of the same level, as they will know about the different questions available to that level and how to solve them. As different levels require knowledge of different topics, it is crucial for the tutor to be exposed to the same syllabus your child is learning.
Being well-versed with the Secondary 4 Mathematics syllabus
At Tutor City, our tutors are highly aware of the content and the updates MOE makes to the Mathematics syllabus. It is important that our tutors supplement instead of contradicting the teaching in schools. They should be aware of the common exam practices which are being implemented in current batches. Thus, students will be able to learn effectively the various mathematical concepts taught in class and they will be able to catch up.
Dedication and commitment
At Tutor City, we pride ourselves on having a large database of committed tutors who are passionate about teaching and dedicated to helping your child succeed.
