O Level Secondary Maths Tuition in Singapore
Get Total Peace Of Mind With Our O Level Maths Tuition
Whether a student is on the Integrated Programme (IP) track or taking the O Level system, a student’s teacher in Secondary 3/4 will not be the same as the teacher they get in J1/2. Simply put, there is no continuity, which can affect the long-term performance of a student.
If the student doesn’t wish to enter JC, there isn’t a need for any continuation. But what if, for whatever reason, they end up changing their mind a month before their O Level examinations or just after the results are released? For students who are already struggling with subjects such as O Level maths, this lack of continuation can affect their studies and their confidence.
Remove the ‘what if’ risk by choosing AO Studies, Singapore’s leading tuition centre for secondary maths, to support your child in their O Level A Maths journey.
Why Choose Us For Secondary-level O Level Math Tuition?
It’s simple — because we provide continuity. Your child will have only one dedicated private maths tutor from Sec 3 to JC 2, covering the range of topics from O Level E and A Maths to JC H2 Maths. As such, the tutor will know the student’s capabilities better than most and as a result, will help bring out the very best in them by properly understanding where any strengths lie and using them to an advantage. Our tutors are able to pay personalised attention to the learning journeys of each student, and in turn encourage them in the way that suits them best.
The aim of our secondary-level O Level Maths tuition programme at AO Studies in Singapore is to provide our students with systematic, step-by-step, and clarified guidance to prepare them for their O Level Maths examinations. This is similar to the approach we adopt for the structured O Level Chemistry classes and O Level Physics tuition we give. We also seek to nurture our students with a view of mathematics as a living, growing, creative human endeavour that classifies as both a science and an art and to be aware of some of the many applications of mathematics in today’s world. Apart from empowering students to achieve their academic goals, we help teach and equip them with lifelong skills that will be useful in their future academic or career prospects.
O Level Math Tuition Programme Structure
Our tuition programmes are intentionally structured to build a strong subject foundation as well as encourage deeper understanding of applications of concepts. Here’s how our lessons are conducted:
Topical Reteaching and tutorials
In topical reteaching, key topical concepts are reintroduced during the O Level Maths tuition sessions, highlighting the formulas and how to use them. Common question types are emphasised and students will practise examples of the different question types with tutor guidance, pointing out common pitfalls that students tend to make. Following that, students will be given topical tutorials that will assess the student’s understanding of the maths syllabus. Each student will be closely monitored while they complete the tutorial to identify critical mistakes that they make.
Overall Revision Drills
Through overall revision drills, students will be given revision O Level Maths tutorials that cover a span of different topics. Each of these revision tutorials is specially designed to highlight common misconceptions and mistakes that students tend to make when they attempt the tutorial. The revision drills give students the required practice under close supervision to ensure that they are applying the right skills to answer questions.
In-Class Activities
What do we do in a typical class over the term to reinforce concepts and promote a deeper understanding:
Time Practices/Examination Setting
In-class practices and timed trials are conducted frequently at AO Studies O Level Mathematics classes, especially for key question types in each chapter. These practices will be assessed on the spot for instant feedback to the students on how they can improve their answers, help correct misconceptions and strengthen their conceptual knowledge.
All graduating classes (O Level A and E Maths) will sit for an in-house mock exam in our tuition class 2 weeks before their national examinations.
Examinations Skills & Strategies
With an arsenal of techniques used by top students over the last decade easily accessible and available, there has never been an easier time for students to hone their skills in tackling examination papers. Our students will learn these effective techniques that help to place them comfortably ahead of their peers. Strategies will also be shared with our students in navigating through complex questions encountered during examinations and to manage their time properly. Apart from helping them to excel in their O Level Maths examinations, these skills will help support their learning in other subjects at advanced levels too.
Topical Reteaching
Topical reteaching is conducted with provision of quick notes that organises all key mathematical formulas, process explanation of these formulas, evaluation of the variants and its application in question. The mathematical knowledge is delivered on an examination-oriented approach with hindsight to the need for examination.
Key Features Of Our O Level Maths Tuition Programmes
Why should you choose a maths tuition programme for O Level preparation at AO Studies?
Proven Track Record
At AO Studies, our secondary mathematics tuition class has achieved a 100% distinction record for THREE years (2014, 2015 and 2017). This is testament to the effectiveness of our programme in helping students in Singapore achieve the best results in their O Level E and A Maths examinations.
Unlimited Consultations
Mathematics is a subject where students require constant practice and feedback. Unlimited consultations are given to students after lessons to consolidate key topical concepts and address questions. This has helped many of our students immensely, especially students that were often not able to get the professional help that they need in school.
E Learning
Maths Tutor, our maths eLearning platform, is a powerful tool that supplements classroom lessons and can be used to reinforce the knowledge learnt. Not only are students able to recap on what they have learnt in class through the eLearning platform, they are also able to recap on chapters that have been taught when the need arises. This is an efficient and effective method that enables students to always be able to find help when they need it.
Acing The O Level Mathematics Syllabus
Some key trends have recently emerged in recent examinations for O Level E & A Maths examinations. Being aware of these trends helps students better identify the needs of each question and hone in on the right answer to score higher marks. These trends include:
Higher-order thinking skills to achieve more precise and accurate answers
Increased real-life application of Mathematics concepts
In recent years, there has been a continuous shift towards higher order thinking skills and increased real life application of Mathematics in examination questions. This is particularly reflected in the latest syllabus change in O Level E Maths, which will now always incorporate a question that will focus on applying mathematics in a real-world scenario.
As such, our award-winning O Level E & A Maths tuition programmes prepare students for these through a large variety of higher order thinking questions that are specially designed by our resident Mathematics Expert, Mr Lim Chu Wei. Through our programme, students will be guided on the strategy to approach these questions and score well in them.

Before I joined AO studies, I tried taking classes from other tuition centres but I remained an F9 student for maths. Disheartened, I was so sure I was a gonecase for both my maths since I didn’t improve at all even when I had gone for tuition classes and I started losing confidence in myself. My results were fail grades continuously till mid year examinations in secondary four and I even considered dropping amaths, but then Chu Wei stopped me and told me he believed I could pass my maths. I still remembered I thought of how incredulous that was and I even scoffed when he said that.However, after months of his patient teaching, I was overjoyed when I started to pass my a maths, then improved to get a B4 in prelims. I finally got a B3 for amaths and A2 for emaths in o levels and I am proud to say that without Chu Wei, I would never had been able to achieve such good grades in such a short time. I am forever grateful to him, thank you Chu Wei!

I had only begun attending AO Studies classes in June during my fourth year in secondary school, and in the short span of a mere five months, my grades had skyrocketed; From borderline passes I struggled to produce, to the A1s I achieved in both A and E Maths at my Os.
It has truly been an exhilarating experience; not only does the tuition centre provide a perfectly conducive environment for learning, I found that I have also enjoyed interacting with fellow classmates and our teacher Chu Wei. He’s wonderfully engaging and he never hesitates to share stories, opinions and jokes with the class.
Furthermore, the papers and the practices he provides us are challenging and creative. Through his lessons, I have not only learnt to tackle each and every math problem, I too have learnt to appreciate the fascinating complexity and flexibility of the beauty that is mathematics.
Thank you Chu Wei!

During my secondary school days, I was on the verge of giving up on mathematics until a friend recommended me to AO Studies in Secondary Four. As my foundation was weak, Chu Wei started drilling concepts from the very basics and within months, my grades jumped from F9 to B3 at the O Levels. The teachers at AO studies are not only passionate about their craft, but are also genuinely concerned about their students. Even after results release, they made an effort to offer advises on how to choose the pre-uni institute that will best suit me. For all the hard work and guidance, I am extremely grateful for my experience at AO Studies. Thank you!
