Upper Secondary Math Tuition in Singapore

“The teachers were very patient and understanding. They had quirky names for the different methods they teach, making it easier for me to remember the methods.”

I joined CalibreMath towards the end of 2016, in November when I was in Secondary 1. I had a lot of fun in CalibreMath and it was a great learning experience.

The teachers were very patient and understanding. There were different names for different methods and there were sufficient questions with varied levels of difficulty in each worksheet for me to practice, thus making it easier for me to remember the methods. Because of that, I started taking an interest in Math as I could see improvements in myself. I improved from C to A from primary school to secondary school.

With the weekly practices that I have at CalibreMath, I need not worry for my Math quizzes and major examinations. It also gave me more time to spend on other subjects.

I achieved an A2 for Math in my O-Levels 2020. I am very thankful towards Teacher Charles and Teacher Janelle for their guidance.

“The methods taught in the tuition class were very simple to comprehend and effective for my exams.”

I was a student in CalibreMath since Primary School. I joined the tuition initially in 2003 and continued the tuition until Secondary 4.

The methods taught in the tuition were very simple to comprehend and efficient during exams. Teacher Charles broke down tough math questions into simpler parts and taught the steps to solve the problem strategically. The learning environment was conducive as he was always open to any questions from the students.

Teacher Charles also helped me with Math problems outside of the tuition classes through WhatsApp, which helped me to clarify doubts on my school’s Math problems too. This enabled learning to continue on top of the weekly tuition classes and helped me to improve on the specific topics that I am weak at. The lessons broadened my understanding of Elementary Math and also helped me to be ahead of my classmates in school. The skills taught were also easy to apply during exams.

With the help of CalibreMath, I was able to improve my E math grade from E8 to B4 in 2020 O’ Levels. This would not have been possible without the continuous guidance and support rendered by Teacher Charles.

“CalibreMath did not want to short change their student’s learning and persevere to do online teaching.”

My girl been with CalibreMath for 2.5 years and for past years, it has always been face-to-face lessons. With the occurrence of covid-19, as a parent, I can see that Teachers from CalibreMath did not want to short change their student’s learning and they persevere to do online teaching, which enables my girl to continue learning math from home. Thank you Mr. Charles for guiding my girl and help her to obtain A1 in her end-of-year exam.

“Coleman no longer regard Math as his most dislike, for he head met a great and caring tutor like you.”

Math has been Coleman’s weakest subject, and became my biggest worry as PSLE was approaching.

For the past 1 year, Ms. Janelle went on an extra mile, taking the pain to coach her students (not only Coleman) for an extra hour after class just to ensure that the kids fully understood the concepts taught.

Being an observant teacher, Ms. Janelle was confident that Coleman was ready to attend the PSLE Advanced Learners class, despite the fact that he only scored Grade C in his P6-SA1. Thankfully, after attending her weekly lessons and the workshop, Coleman scored an A in his PSLE.

Thank you for your selfless sacrifices, I appreciate your hard work. Coleman no longer regard Math as his most-disliked subject, for he had met a great and caring tutor like you.

“CalibreMath’s teaching methods opened my mind to a new perspective of Math. I am now more confident in deciphering challenging math questions.”

I joined CalibreMath when I was in Sec 1.

I have always encountered difficulties learning Math and caused me to develop a fear of doing Math questions over time. Mr. Charles helped me to overcome my challenges through patient and interactive methods. Mr. Charles is a friendly and approachable teacher which made me feel comfortable expressing any doubts that I have for Math.

I used to find it difficult to understand the question at hand, but now I can understand the questions better and use a suitable method to solve it. I coped better in school and can finally keep up with my classmates. I also felt less stressed when exams were approaching. Thank you Teacher Charles!

“Jeremy gained so much improvement and became more confident in the subject after the sessions. He came out of the exam hall feeling relieved as he could apply what he had learnt in his tuition. Indeed, he scored A for his Math paper!”

Before joining Janelle’s class, Jeremy did not have a positive learning attitude and was reluctant to put in effort in his school work.

He felt that attending Math tuition was a waste of time. Consequentially, his Math result suffered. After assessing him for a few lessons, Teacher Janelle believed that Jeremy will be able to do better if he worked hard enough. Despite his reluctance, Teacher Janelle did not give up and persisted. She also made sure Jeremy fully understood each topic and was not merely completing his assignments. We had multiple face to face discussions on Jeremy’s progress and with time, Jeremy’s results started to pick up.

With Teacher Janelle’s suggestion, we signed him up for the PSLE Advanced Learners Workshop. Jeremy gained so much improvement and became more confident in the subject after the sessions. He came out of the exam hall feeling relieved as he could apply what he had learnt in his tuition. Indeed, he scored A for his Math paper! We are thankful to Teacher Janelle for her persistence and determination in guiding Jeremy!

I’m very impressed of Janelle’s own invented strategies with catching names likes “Transformers”, “My Neighbour Has A Fast Car” that children can relate to.

Josh has failed his Math in his Mid and Final Exams in Primary 5. Out of desperation, I’ve decided to change his then Math Tutor to Janelle who has since tutored him at the end of Pri 5 to current.

I’ve seen Josh tremendously improvement in his Math after engaging Janelle; he failed in Pri 5 but just a month’s time he passed with a grade “B” in his Pri 6’s CA1.

I’m very impressed of Janelle’s own invented strategies with catching names likes “Transformers”, “My Neighbour Has A Fast Car” that children can relate to. Josh has used these strategies to tackle his Math Paper 2 that covers 60 marks and voila he got an “A” for his PSLE.

She is the only tutor that truly deserves my recommendation to my friends.

“After attending your Math class, he has greatly improvised his learning and answering techniques and started achieving A* in his examinations.”

Dear Teacher Janelle,

I would like to thank you for your time and patience in guiding my child, Jubin, P6, in his Mathematics.

Your method of teaching has proven to be effective and boosted Jubin’s confidence in Mathematics. After attending your Math class, he has greatly improvised his learning and answering techniques and started achieving A* in his examinations including PSLE. Jubin is motivated to work harder in his studies.

I am grateful for your hard work and would recommend any parent or student to you as I feel that you are an experienced teacher in this field.

“Teacher Janelle is one-of-a-kind teacher; one who you’ll remember deeply in your heart.”

My twins attended her lessons since Primary Three. She made sure my kids handed in their homework on time. She even went the extra mile to stay back with them to make sure they understood their Math corrections before dismissing them. Her genuine care for the kids really touched me.

This year, my twins sat for their PSLE. My boy, Justin achieved an A* and my girl, Jolie achieved an A. We are truly grateful and appreciate her efforts in teaching my twins and achieving their goals. Once again, thank you Teacher Janelle.

“Tuition at CalibreMath has helped me to have a better understanding of mathematical concepts and I’m no longer afraid of solving Math questions.”

I joined in December 2015 when I was in Primary 5. The learning experience was great and the teachers were very helpful.

I improved from B to A for my PSLE. In Secondary school, I have always gotten A1 consistently. Tuition at CalibreMath has helped me to have a better understanding of mathematical concepts and I’m no longer afraid of solving Math questions.

I scored A1 for E Math and A2 for a Math in O Levels 2020.

“The teachers have an excellent attitude towards students and they are always very willing to help students answer their questions.”

I joined CalibreMath in June 2015.

When I first joined the class in P5, I was failing my Math. The teaching methods Teacher Janelle and Teacher Charles used were very effective. Since then, Math became my strongest subject and I did consistently well in it.

I scored A1 in both E and A Maths in 2020 O’ Levels. The teachers have an excellent attitude towards students and they are always very willing to help students answer their questions. Overall, I had an enjoyable time in tuition.

“CalibreMath teaches many unique math tactics that benefitted me in solving math problems. Their tactics and methods are simple yet good, easily allowing me to remember the Math formulas.”

I started attending Math tuition in CalibreMath since Sec. 2.

I joined Teacher Janelle’s Additional Mathematics class in Sec. 3 and 4. Each session was very interesting and helpful at the same time as we learnt about different Math formulas and skills.

Teacher Janelle is very nice, cool and fun to interact with, often joking with us, making lessons more enjoyable. CalibreMath teaches many unique math tactics that benefitted me in solving math problems. Their tactics and methods are simple yet good, easily allowing me to remember the Math formulas. I always had difficulty expanding all forms of algebraic expressions, however with the techniques and strategies that she taught me, solving algebra never seemed easier.

My grades went from borderline passing to having A1 every test. CalibreMath really helped me develop the proper techniques needed to solve math problems, further strengthening my foundation for Math. I scored A1 for Additional Math in my O levels and will be joining River Valley High School.

“My math took a big leap since then and I improved from a B to an A star. Teacher Janelle was very thorough during her lessons and made sure that we practice different types of questions that could come out in an exam and also put in challenging questions to stimulate our thinking and make sure that we really understand the topic.”

I struggled with Math since young and always got Bs or Cs for it. When I was in Primary 3, I had Teacher Janelle as my tuition teacher. She taught me all her strategies and different methods to use when I encounter challenging math problems. My math took a big leap since then and I improved from a B to an A star. She has taught me for 7 years and my math has always been an A. She was very thorough during her lessons and made sure that we practice different types of questions that could come out in an exam and also put in challenging questions to stimulate our thinking and make sure that we really understand the topic.

“I learnt many shortcut methods to derive the answers that the teachers in school did not teach me and they really helped me solve the questions faster. The teacher was very patient and was very good at teaching as the difficult topics that I did not understand in school were made easy to understand in her lessons.”

I joined Calibremath in 2015.

Personally, I found the classroom environment very conducive and interactive. I was also encouraged to clarify any doubts I had which were really useful for me. The lessons were clear and well taught. I learnt many shortcut methods to derive the answers that the teachers in school did not teach me and they really helped me solve the questions faster. The teacher was very patient and was very good at teaching as the difficult topics that I did not understand in school were made easy to understand in her lessons. Previously, I did not like Additional Math and would often score B4 in school. But after attending the lessons, I had more interest in it and it became one of my favourite subjects.

The lessons were fun and enriching. The worksheets provided included several tough questions which gave me the exposure needed. I could handle the challenging questions that I see for the first time in O levels. For my O levels, I achieved an A1 grade and I used it as one of my L1R5 to get into Anglo-Chinese Junior College. I am very grateful to the teacher!

“Thanks to Ms Janelle and Mr Charles for being my teachers for 2 years! I managed to obtain A1 for both my A Math and E Math during O levels’. My nett score was 7 for O levels and I managed to get into NJC.”

Great thanks to Calibre Math!

I first joined Calibre Math in 2019, nearing the December holiday when I am going to be Secondary 3. My learning experience with Mr Charles and Ms Janelle has been a very pleasant one.

Ms Janelle is precise and dedicated in her teaching and is willing to spend extra time after lessons to clarify my doubts. Her notes are detailed and her way of teaching makes A Math easier to understand. I remember that when she is teaching our group about Partial Fractions, she used ‘the 4 sisters’ method to let me understand the different types of Partial Fractions and how to solve them. Every chapter of A Math is broken down into several smaller parts to help me deepen my understanding of the concepts.

Mr Charles is also a great teacher. He is always chill and patient. I remember him going through a question several times till I understand how to solve the question. He finds alternative ways to explain a question so that I can have a deeper understanding of how one topic is linked to the other. The worksheets he gave me included challenging questions that involved the use of knowledge from other E Math chapters.

Thanks to them for being my teachers for close to 2 years, I managed to obtain A1 for both A Math and E Math. My nett score was 7 for O levels and I managed to get into NJC.
