We prescribe the techniques required for the student to improve and excel

We assess your child’s level of proficiency

We customise classroom teaching, one-to-one coaching as well as online lessons

Studies have shown 5-7% of children has difficulties in learning maths, and has symptoms like poor number sense and difficulty with basic operations.

Modular Bespoke Mentoring Program
We offer a highly bespoke math tuition program in Singapore.
For new student joining Modular for the first time, we assess his or her level of math competency, and may conduct one-to-one coaching first. This is to strengthen the student's math basics before classroom learning. The focus is building a strong foundation of core concepts through hands-on activities, and personalized mentoring.

During these sessions, we can identify student experiencing math anxiety.

Collaborative Learning at Modular Centre.
ModularMath opens up our centre to be used as "co-working spaces for students".
Pre-arranged students can come for co-operative study sessions with peer students of the same year; complete with tutor consultations at the end of each time slot.

We aim to make mathematics simple, fun yet challenging.

In class, our students learn to:

• Grasp strong mathematical concepts.

• Review core and fundamental topics.

• Enhance analytical and heuristic skills in problem-solving.

• Apply mathematical strategies in solving problem sums systematically.

• Stretch learning beyond school syllabus using higher-order thinking approach and non-routine questions.

• Practice with relevant worksheets specially designed by our team of tutors to reinforce and retain methodology taught in class and school.

Remember:

“Everybody can be good at math. It’s a matter of how you’re taught.”

Our Classroom Learning Environment
Our classrooms are fully air-conditioned, brightly lit and equipped with facilities to create conducive environment for learning.
Our big and small classrooms can cater for group (2-3 students) and 1-to-1 coaching.
We endeavor to maintain a low tutor-student ratio (ie smaller class size), this is to ensure optimal interaction between tutor and students.

Why parents do not teach their children themselves?

• Many parents teach their children basic skills and values.

• Several factors can prevent them from taking on all of their children's education.

• Reasons include a lack of time and emotional complexities of a parent-child relationship.

• Tuition supplements mainstream schooling by offering personalized attention, reinforcing concepts, and adapting to a student's individual weaknesses and learning pace.

Math Assessment, diagnostic testing

Parents can assess their child's math proficiency at home.

• Get your child/student to attempt any 4 questions from our library, allow reasonable time for him or her to complete.

• As an example, if the child/student is P5 and currently in 2nd semester (Term 2), you may select any of the relevant questions as below.

P5 Term 2 Apr-May Semester (questions with answer key)

• • Area, 3pt, key ❤️

  • Fraction, 3pt, key

  • Ratio, 3pt, key

  • Area, 3pt, key

  • Volume, 4pt, key

  • Area, 4pt, key

  • Volume&Area, 5pt, key
    
    

• Below are the results based from our cohort analytics. 

  • 25% score or below, your child needs help.

  • 50% score, your child is reasonably proficient, and can do better with practice.

  • The materials in our library are slightly more challenging but manageable.

Parents are welcome to check out our new library, so as to gain a better understanding of our structured material / schedule that organizes topics based on when they appear in the academic year or how close the students are to exams.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) versus PSLE (grade 6 Singapore national examination)?
source The Straits Times (updated in 2024, first published Feb23)

In a test conducted by The Straits Times, ChatGPT was asked questions on Mathematics, Science, and English (taken from grade 6 PSLE exams for Year 2020, 2021 and 2022).

Open AI ChatGPT failed the Math and Science exams, and barely passed the English papers.

It scored an average of 16 out of 100 marks for the three mathematics papers it took. During the test, it could not understand or answer any questions that referenced diagrams or graphs, and was given zero marks for these questions.

ChatGPT fared a little better at the science papers, getting an average of 21 out of 100 marks.

ChatGPT managed to pass the English tests and scored an average of 11 out of 20 marks across the three papers it took. During the English test, ChatGPT still ran into problems — this time, with questions containing words that have multiple meanings.

One example The Straits Times cited was the word "value". ChatGPT disregarded the question's context, where "value" referred to one's moral principles, and answered as if it meant monetary value.

Most will agree that AI can learn fast, and can even ace it the next time.
Students can now use ChatGPT to write essays, tests and assignments for them.

But can AI robot really sit in exams for our students in the examination hall?
