Why Parents Say We Are
The Best Primary & PSLE Math Tuition in Singapore
As educators, we understand that maths can often be a challenging subject for primary school students. It is especially important for students to master primary maths as it lays the foundation for their mathematical journey and builds essential skills that they will utilise throughout their academic years. This prepares them for their PSLE Math examination, which serves as a crucial milestone in their academic journey, determining their placement in secondary education.
However, many students face common challenges in primary maths. At Terry Chew Academy, a top Singapore math tuition centre, we recognise the importance of overcoming these challenges and offer primary math tuition to support students in achieving academic success. We have maintained a track record of AL4 to AL1 (or a minimum 2-grade improvement) within 6 months, or less.
Common Challenges Faced by Students in Primary Maths
Primary maths presents several hurdles for students. Here are some of the common challenges that they encounter:
Weak Foundational Knowledge
Many students struggle with a weak understanding of primary maths fundamental concepts, such as number sense, place value, and basic operations. This hinders their progress as they move on to more complex topics.Lack of Problem-Solving Strategies
Students often lack the skills and strategies needed to solve primary maths problems effectively. They may struggle with identifying key information, selecting appropriate problem-solving methods, or interpreting word problems.
Difficulty in Applying Concepts
Some students find it challenging to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations. They struggle with recognising when and how to use certain primary maths concepts, leading to difficulties in problem-solving.
Lack of Confidence
A lack of confidence in primary maths can significantly impact a student's performance. Students may doubt their abilities, fear making mistakes, or feel overwhelmed by the subject, hindering their progress.
