Mr Angus Chia has 10 years of teaching experience, helping students build confidence in Mathematics and sharpen their problem-solving skills. A graduate of St. Joseph’s Institution and National Junior College, and an NTU alumnus, he knows that the move from PSLE Maths to Secondary 1 is where strong foundations matter most. His lessons focus on logical reasoning, accurate working, and applying concepts to both everyday problems and school exam questions.
Sec 1 & Sec 2 Maths Tuition Options in Singapore
Secondary 1 Maths is a big step up from PSLE Maths. Algebra, negative numbers and geometric reasoning arrive quickly, and gaps built in Sec 1 and Sec 2 carry into upper secondary and the Singapore-Cambridge SEC. At TutorSay, we provide personalised Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 Maths tuition in Singapore through one-to-one lessons, small-group classes and home tuition, matched to your child's MOE school, G-level and learning pace.
Individual attention on the topics your child finds hardest, at a pace that builds confidence rather than pressure before the next weighted assessment.
Structured explanations, worked examples and guided problem-solving alongside Sec 1 and Sec 2 students at a similar G-level.
Lessons at home, in your HDB flat or condo, with a Maths tutor who walks your child through algebra, graphs and word problems step by step.
Strengthen number skills, algebra and geometry while preparing for school weighted assessments (WA), mid-year exams and end-of-year exams.
About Our Singapore Maths Tuition
TutorSay provides structured Mathematics tuition for lower secondary students in Singapore. Lessons follow the MOE Mathematics syllabus and focus on understanding concepts, showing clear working and applying methods to unfamiliar questions. Students receive guidance based on their school's scheme of work and subject level, with regular practice and targeted support for areas that need improvement, whether they study in a neighbourhood school, an Integrated Programme (IP) school or an independent school.
Singapore Maths Programme
The programme moves from number foundations to algebra and geometry, then to exam-style practice, so students understand the MOE lower secondary Maths syllabus and know how to present accurate solutions in Singapore school exams.
Cover prime numbers, HCF and LCM, negative numbers, fractions and decimals, rational and irrational numbers, approximation and estimation, and basic algebra, as relevant to your child's school and level.
Work through linear equations, graphs, expansion and factorisation, proportion, polygons, congruence and similarity, then practise exam-style questions and word problems in the format Singapore schools use, with clear working.
Why TutorSay for Maths Tuition in Singapore
TutorSay helps Singapore students make sense of Maths through clear explanations, regular practice and guidance that suits each student's school, G-level and pace.
Lessons target the topics a student finds hardest, whether that is negative numbers, algebraic expressions or word problems.
Students solve problems together, compare methods and learn from each other's reasoning, just as in a classroom discussion.
Primary school methods such as the bar model are linked to algebraic thinking, so the jump from P6 to Secondary 1 feels manageable.
Algebra, graphs and geometric proofs are explained step by step with worked examples.
Topic-by-topic revision and exam-style questions build accuracy, speed and clear presentation of working for WA, mid-year and end-of-year papers.
Regular check-ins on calculations, working and problem-solving keep lessons aimed at the areas that need the most work.
G1, G2 and G3 Maths Tuition in Singapore
Under MOE's Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB), which replaced the Express, Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) streams, students take Mathematics at G1, G2 or G3 level based on their strength in the subject. TutorSay offers Maths tuition for all three levels, from Secondary 1 to Secondary 2, covering the same core topics at the depth and pace each level requires. Strong Sec 2 results can also support a move to a higher G-level in upper secondary, so the right foundation now keeps more options open on the way to the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC).
Build confidence with whole numbers, money, measurement and simple data in real-life Singapore contexts.
Strengthen number work and take guided first steps into algebra and problem-solving.
Go deeper into algebra, abstract reasoning and complex problem-solving to prepare for upper secondary Maths.
G3 covers the same topics as G2 at greater depth, with more abstract reasoning and complex problem-solving, so lessons are pitched to your child's level.
Your child may take Maths at G3 and other subjects at G2 or G1. We tutor Maths at the level your child is actually taking in school.
Consistent practice and exam technique help students perform to their potential in school assessments, which Singapore schools consider when reviewing subject levels.
MOE Maths Syllabus Coverage
The MOE lower secondary Mathematics syllabus is organised around three strands: Number and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics and Probability. Our Sec 1 and Sec 2 Maths tuition in Singapore covers each strand, adjusted to your child's school and G-level. Schools sequence topics differently, so we follow your child's school scheme of work and weighted assessment schedule.
Prime numbers, square and cube roots, HCF and LCM, negative numbers, fractions, decimals, and rational and irrational numbers.
Rounding and significant figures, estimation, percentages, ratio, and rate and speed problems.
Algebraic notation, simplifying linear expressions, and solving linear equations, the foundation for all upper secondary Maths.
Angles, area, perimeter and volume, with an emphasis on reasoning and clear working.
Linear equations and inequalities, linear functions and graphs, simultaneous equations, expansion and factorisation, quadratic functions and algebraic fractions.
Direct and inverse proportion, quadrilaterals and other polygons, and congruence and similarity.
Singapore Maths Exam Preparation
Weighted assessments, mid-year exams and end-of-year exams reward students who can apply methods to unfamiliar questions and present working clearly. Through guided practice, students learn to read questions carefully, choose the right method and check their answers.
Practise questions in the style of Singapore school tests and exams so the format and expectations feel familiar.
Learn to translate real-life situations into equations and solve them methodically.
Present solutions step by step so method marks are secured, even when the final answer slips.
Detailed feedback on mistakes helps students spot careless errors and fix concept gaps early.
Help your child build confidence in Lower Secondary Maths with personalised tuition for Secondary 1 and 2, across G1, G2 and G3 levels.
Lower Secondary Maths tuition supports students in Secondary 1 and 2 as they move from PSLE Maths to the secondary syllabus. Lessons build understanding of numbers, algebra and geometry, and teach students to show clear working and solve unfamiliar problems at the subject level they take in school (G1, G2 or G3).
Secondary 1 introduces formal algebra, negative numbers, and rational and irrational numbers, which are more abstract than primary methods such as bar models. Students must also show structured working and apply ideas to unfamiliar questions. Early support can help close gaps before they widen in Secondary 2.
Secondary 1 typically covers prime numbers, HCF and LCM, negative numbers, fractions and decimals, approximation, ratio, rate and speed, and introductory algebra. Secondary 2 typically covers linear equations and graphs, simultaneous equations, expansion and factorisation, quadratic functions, algebraic fractions, proportion, congruence and similarity. Schools sequence topics differently, so check your child's school scheme of work and the latest MOE syllabus.
Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students take each subject at G1, G2 or G3, which are mapped from the former N(T), N(A) and Express standards. A student's starting level in Secondary 1 is guided by PSLE results, and some students may be offered Maths at a more demanding level based on their PSLE Maths result. A student can take Maths at a different level from other subjects. G3 covers the same topics at greater depth, with more abstract reasoning and complex problem-solving.
Often, yes. MOE allows students to adjust subject levels towards the end of Secondary 1 and to choose upper secondary subjects at the end of Secondary 2. Each school sets its own criteria, usually based on results in school assessments, so confirm the requirements with your child's school.
Lower secondary Maths is assessed through school-set tests, weighted assessments and end-of-year examinations. There is no national exam until the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) at the end of Secondary 4. Assessment formats and weightings vary by school, so confirm the schedule with your child's school.
Many parents start in Secondary 1, because algebra and number skills support later topics. Tuition in Secondary 2 can still help, since Sec 2 results often inform upper secondary subject choices. The best time is when you first notice gaps, such as repeated careless errors, difficulty with algebra, or lost marks for unclear working.
One-to-one lessons suit students who need a tailored pace or have specific gaps. Small-group classes suit students who learn well by discussing methods with peers. TutorSay also offers home tuition. Contact the team to discuss which format fits your child's level, school and goals.
