“Mathematics is the cheapest science. Unlike physics or chemistry, it does not require any expensive equipment. All one needs for mathematics is a pencil and paper.”
George Polya (Ed: You are likely to have used his mathematical methods if you study Secondary Math.)
Starting with the End in Mind: ‘N(A)’ & ‘O’ Levels Math
Our Secondary Math Tuition is available for secondary levels 1 to 5.
To ensure that our students are well prepared for their level assessments, our tuition programmes rigorously follow the MOE syllabi corresponding to N(A)-Level or O-Level.
Our ultimate aim is to prepare the student for ‘N(A)’ or ‘O’ Levels. Therefore, all components of ‘N(A)’ or ‘O’ Levels Math will be covered.
Learning more than just Math
To do well in Math, the student needs to be equipped with a set of metacognitive skills to manage his learning, revision and assessment. We integrate the following skills into the relevant math topics.
- Analyse question requirements
- View a problem from different perspectives
- Exercise time management
- Use answer checking techniques
- Generate concept maps to summarise key concepts and categorise different Math questions
Learning Methods used in Secondary School Math Tuition
- Using examples to understand and apply concepts
- Real life applications are emphasised whenever possible
- Foundational questions to ensure good grasp of fundamentals
- Challenging questions to expose students to higher order thinking and problem solving skills
- Topical tests to assess learning
- Mock exams to prepare for exam

Testimonials
- “iMatter mathematics tuition has helped greatly in my studies. Mr Aaron has been a great teacher and has helped me with many questions thoroughly, and given me many tips to help me improve in the subject. I highly recommend coming here because the environment is quiet and easy to focus. Thank you.”
Rae, awaiting O Levels results - “My son attended Sec 2 Math lesson this year. Small group of students so teacher (Mr Poon) can concentrate on each and every student. My son is in express level and the teacher understands his needs. Teacher motivated him to do his best. He achieved 95% at the EOY Math exam. Thanks to the Teacher who taught him and understands his needs. Admin side also very responsive and always communicated with me in polite manner. Overall I had good experience with iMatter Learning Centre.”
Mathi Samy, Parent of Sec 2 Student - “Mr Soo teaches very concisely and I understand better how to do tough questions and what to prioritise.”
Rae, Sec 5 Student - “Just like for English, I had been enrolled in iMatter for Math since Sec 1 till the end of Sec 4. In all my time here, I was confident that I could get the help I need, especially for those concepts that I had trouble with in school. The tutors here had always been patient and kind, using different ways to explain the mathematical concepts till I fully understood them. I am more than satisfied with my grade of 1 in my national exam.”
Shun Ci, awaiting entry into Polytechnic - “Some of the work given are pretty challenging, enabling me to do more challenging questions. I understand what my tutor is teaching and I get to learn different methods of solving questions.”
Sherwin, Sec 2 Student - “I am especially grateful to our tutor for her easy-to-understand teaching style.”
Neel, Sec 3 Student - “Our tutor is highly encouraging. He provides immense help in our Math by giving us sufficient practice in a systematic manner.”
Farzana, Sec 4 Student - “Our lessons are interactive with the tutor motivating us to excel. Regular revision and assessments are especially useful to help us keep track of our learning.
Elise, Sec 4 Student - “The tutor has shown me a lot of useful shortcuts and easy-to-remember methods”
Alham, Sec 4 Student - “I am glad I sought help from iMatter in providing tuition in Math, Science (Chemistry) and Science (Biology) in my ‘O’ Levels year. The tutors there were helpful and passionate in helping me to clarify my doubts in these subjects for which I was having trouble with. I eventually scored B3 for Math and Science in ‘O’ Levels. These grades give me a sense of personal satisfaction and they will be useful in my application to a polytechnic course.”
AD of Orchid Park Secondary School, awaiting entry into Polytechnic - “I took a total of 4 subjects, Chemistry, Biology, English and Math here. My tutors are all friendly and caring to each and every student.
Mr Sheah is my math tutor who has helped me understand math like never before. Being significantly weaker in math than my other subjects, Mr Sheah was able to explain using countless methods to ensure that I understood a particular concept and often reminded me that “I will be able to do it”. He is a dedicated teacher who is willing to go all out to ensure that his students understand what is being taught and what is unsure of.
iMatter Learning Centre isn’t just a simple tuition centre but is a fun and engaging place to learn and improve on one’s ability to learn no matter your starting level. It is a place like no other and I would definitely recommend it to others. It truly holds the meaning of “where every learner matters.”
Joseph, awaiting O Levels results
