JC Maths Tuition Programme Structure
How are the lessons conducted?
Topical Reteaching and Tutorials
In our JC Maths tuition, we use topical reteaching where the key topical concepts are reintroduced, highlighting the key strategies used to solve common question types. Students will then practise examples of the different question types and through the guidance of our H2 Maths tutor, students will learn about the common pitfalls and mistakes that they tend to make. Each student is closely monitored while they complete the tutorial to identify critical mistakes and address them early on.
Overall Revision Drills
In overall revision drills, students will be given revision worksheets and notes that cover a span of interlinked topics throughout the A Level Math tuition curriculum. Each of these revision worksheets and notes are specially-designed to fish out common misconceptions and mistakes that students usually make. Higher-order thinking questions are also used by our tutors in these worksheets and notes to challenge students and train them on the correct approach towards tackling difficult questions.
Concept-Reinforcement and Topical-Revision
In concept-reinforcement and topical-revision, students are exposed to a greater breadth of questions for each topic to promote greater familiarity with the question variations. These lessons are tailored specifically for A Level maths students by our tutors to help them on questions that are specific to their syllabus.
NEW H2 Maths A Level Syllabus
Key trends in recent examinations
Higher-Order Knowledge Application
Relating Mathematics in Real-World Scenarios
Drill and Practice Method
The new 2017 H2 Maths syllabus takes a shift towards higher-order knowledge application and increases the emphasis on relating mathematics to real-world scenarios. At least two real-world application questions (15 marks each), including those from science and engineering in both Paper 1 and 2 (12 marks each), will be included in the A Level papers.
As a result, the usual drill and practice methods will no longer be sufficient to help them score a distinction. In fact, a “less is more” logic applies. When a Junior College student practises too much, they may end up “programming” themselves to answer questions in a specific manner. Therefore, when they are tested on real-world application questions, they often find themselves unable to apply what they have learnt to solve the questions.
At our A Level Math tuition centre, we will prepare the students to tackle these questions. Our tutorials, set by our A Level maths tutor, will fully equip our students with the skills and knowledge to answer such questions.
On top of tackling real-world application questions, AO Studies specialises in preparing students for the usual problematic topics, i.e. Permutation and Combination (P&C). In recent years, the weightage of these topics has been increasing, and students are failing to score a distinction because they are unable to cope with these questions. In our lessons, students will be guided in their train of thought to develop the best approach to tackle these complex topics.

A-Level H2 Maths Tuition Class Activities
What do we do in a typical class over the term
Intensive Revisions
30 hours of full comprehensive topical revision (covers every single topic and variant of questions) will be conducted followed by a full 3-hour paper 1 and 3-hour paper 2 mock exam before the A Level Maths examinations. This provides students with a much-needed review of each and every topic to be tested during the exams. This is a complete tuition programme that aims to push each and every student to achieve a distinction in the A Level exams.
Timed Test/Examination Practices
Time practices and topical tests will be conducted from time to time in our JC Maths tuition programme. This will prepare our students for regular class tests, mid-term and end-of-year examinations in Singapore, helping them in their time-management skills and putting them in the right mindset for the papers. The practices and tests will also help the students identify areas that they have yet to fully grasp and to work on or clarify those areas.
Assignments & Homework
Specially-designed tutorials and past-year prelim papers from the top JCs are often given as homework to give students the necessary practice. Most importantly, each one of these homework assignments is carefully marked by our JC Maths tutors and returned to the students, where their mistakes are highlighted for students to improve on.
Examinations Skills & Strategies
Dealing with a 3-hour paper can be daunting. Students are taught proper strategies to tackle the H1 and H2 Maths A Level examination papers. This includes:
- Setting aside the appropriate amount of time to complete the paper on the first attempt;
- Questions to focus on (based on topics & how the questions are set) to get the correct answers;
- Setting aside time to check for mistakes;
- Employing answering strategies and presentation methods to maximise the marks obtained.
These skills are engineered to the highest level of precision and they have been tried and tested by many generations of tuition students.
Topical Teaching
Topical reteaching lessons will re-emphasise on the key topical concepts in each chapter, the common question types and the strategies to solve each of these question types.
Class practices are used frequently by our JC Maths tutors after each topical reteaching in order to assess a student’s understanding. Students who struggle with the class practices are given more individual help while others who have already fully grasped the concepts are given more challenging work to extend their knowledge on the topics.
Effective Teaching Methodology
AO Studies employs a dynamic and effective teaching methodology that focuses on helping students grasp Maths concepts with clarity and confidence. The tutors employ a comprehensive and structured curriculum that covers all topics in the JC Maths syllabus, ensuring students receive a well-rounded education. Small group classes are conducted, allowing for personalised attention and interactive discussions. This fosters a collaborative learning environment where students can actively engage with their peers and the tutor.
AO Studies also emphasises the use of real-life examples and practical applications to make abstract mathematical concepts more relatable and understandable. The tutors employ a problem-solving approach, encouraging students to think critically and develop logical reasoning skills. Regular assessments and feedback enable students to track their progress and identify areas for improvement. By employing these proven teaching methods, AO Studies equips students with the necessary tools to excel in JC Maths and develop a lifelong love for the subject.
Student Testimonials For JC Maths Tuition
What our students say about our JC maths tuition programme
Chuwei is not just a tutor that guides our studies, but he is also a friend that cares and concern about our future. Though I was only under his guidance for a few months, but he helped me to achieve my personal best in H2 Mathematics. Whats more was that he also give us tips in other areas that is beyond his responsibility. He was happy (or even happier than us) for all of us that made it to our dream course in university. If anyone needs help in the academic (and maybe life) he is definitely someone to look for. I am glad that I was able to be taught by him during my toughest period of my JC life. Thank you so much Chuwei!

AO Studies is a place with the most dedicated teachers. My awesome math tutor, Chu Wei just doesnt seem to leave his whatsapp conversations with us, endlessly solving our math questions even if it meant sacrificing his nights and midnights. Moreover, Chu Wei convicts to ensure his students would not leave lessons without learning anything, hence we see ourselves staying back completing his assignments most of the time.
Tuition can sometimes be a dreadful event, but strangely I love solving Chu Wei’s monstrous tutorial questions! For this meant i have already mastered my concepts and not be afraid of taking up any school exams and finally the “A” Levels. True enough, I am proud to say I have never failed any math paper after the guidance of Chu Wei, when in fact math was my most hated subject since primary school. I even scored distinction in my A Levels!!!
There are many more fun-loving moments during lessons which made me loved attending tuition classes compared to the dull lessons in school.
Such fantastic environment is hard to come by, I didn’t regret my choice.

Whether you’re the kind of ‘a relatively doing well’ but can never score an ‘A’ student or a ‘weak in math’ student like I was, please take some time to read the long but honest review:
Chuwei is a tutor with both great knowledge and a big heart. As a teacher, he never fails to clear our doubts and explain basic mathematical concepts which are crucial in cultivating problem solving skills. He goes the extra mile to answer our questions out of class and even late nights. As an Arts student who has always struggled with math, Chuwei has consistently guided me since J1 and allow me to gain confidence.
His depth of knowledge of the subject and the syllabus has enabled him to quickly identify his students’ weaknesses and advise each of us individually on how we can improve. From failing math in the past, I’ve finally did well in A levels.
Honestly, it was never a smooth journey for me when it came to this daunting subject , and there are times where I face setbacks in examinations. Nonetheless, because of Chuwei, someone who believes in the best in every student, he gave me the encouragement I needed each time and allowed me to push through until the end. He has been more than just a tutor to all of us.
To parents or students reading, if you want a tutor who is dedicated, whose teaching is effective or a tutor who can give ur child maximum exposure (something all students really need in A level H2 mathematics unlike O levels), I believe Chuwei is the tutor you are looking for.
To students, no matter what tutor you’re going to eventually, please remember that math really requires you to PRACTISE and don’t be complacent. There are many ‘A’ students who eventually scored a ‘B’ just because they got lazy or are over confident. There are also those who used to fail but got an ‘A’ because they tried hard enough.
