Frequently Asked Questions
How are the fees computed for the S4 Elementary Math GAP™?
The S4 Elementary Math Grade Accelerator Programme™ will be billed termly (i.e. every 3 months), in which you will be billed based on the number of lessons in each term. The fee of each lesson is $110 (nett – inclusive of GST). Each term, on average, works out to be approximately $1,320.
We have three terms in an academic year for Secondary 4 students & they are segmented as the following:
– Term 1: January, February & March
– Term 2: April, May & June
– Term 3: July, August & September
If you were to enrol your child in the middle of the term, the fees will be pro-rated accordingly.
My child is in the IB/ IGCSE academic track. Is your programme suitable?
Our S4 Grade Accelerator Programme™ is designed based on the O-Level (Express) track.
Hence, it is not suitable for students in the IB/ IGCSE tracks.
My child is very weak. Do you have classes catered specially for my child as I am afraid he/she will not be able to catch up with the pace of the class ?
One of the advantages behind attending the regular classes is that your child will get regular exposure to a wide variety of Mathematical question types. We’ll show your child exactly how to solve these questions, together with worked examples in our notes.
As long as your child can understand what is being taught in class, he/she will do fine with more practice. We also provide additional academic support via a dedicated WhatsApp line for students who require more guidance.
If you’re afraid about the pace of the class, we can also advise you on the suitability of our classes after your child has attended a trial lesson with us.
My child does not like to do homework. Will your programme still be helpful?
Completing their homework is an essential aspect of the learning process as it provides us the feedback on whether your child is able to apply the techniques and structures of writing independently.
This enable us to identify students who “fall through the cracks”, allowing us to raise the challenges and difficulties faced by our students, prompting closer communication and cooperation between us and parents.
Do you have lessons during holidays?
Classes will still carry on during school holidays (i.e. March, June & September). However, there will be no lessons on selected public holidays.
The materials for that session will be given to students as homework & they will be reviewed together in class in the next session.
Do you offer make-up classes?
Please check with our Customer Care team if you would like to arrange a make-up lesson.
If your child is unable to attend the make-up lesson, the materials will be handed to him/her in the next lesson.
Do you offer trial lessons?
The purpose of the trial lesson is to allow your child to better understand the teaching pedagogy that is adopted at our centre without a long term commitment.
Can I start the S4 Elementary Mathematics Grade Accelerator Programme™ without a trial lesson?
For us, we’re all about the best fit. There are two main qualifying criteria when we shortlist students for our regular classes: 1) Learning Attitude, 2) Learning Aptitude (Ability)
1) A student with a good learning attitude and aptitude will be the best fit for our Mathematics programme. We’re best able to help him/her improve in the shortest period of time (In some cases, we’ve had students who saw their grades jumping from 70s to high 80s in less than 3 months)
2) A student with a good learning attitude and poor learning aptitude will eventually improve, so long as they put in the hard work to memorise, revise and apply what they learn. They’ll probably take a longer time to absorb the subject matter, but we’ve seen them improve once they’re equipped with the right skills to excel.
3) We’ve also worked with students with poor learning attitudes (i.e. lazy) and good learning aptitudes. Assuming that these students comfortable with the learning environment, we can try to work with them to overcome their learning challenges. However, a lot of effort is often required to get them to a state where they’re ready to learn and improve. Parents usually commit for one term to assess if our classes work for their kids. In certain cases, we’ve managed to inspire and motivate them to change for the better.
4) The regular classes are not suitable for students with poor learning attitudes and aptitudes. In most cases, these students tend to be disinterested in the subject matter and have problems trying to pay attention in class. (Read more below on these students can be helped)
We recognise that our secondary school Mathematics programmes are not a one-size-fits-all solution for every student. While we strive to provide the best learning environment for our students, we also understand that not every student will benefit fully from our programmes. As such, we’ve decided to put in place a behavioural assessment during the trial lesson to quickly assess if the student has a higher propensity of improvement under our guidance.
During the trial lesson, the teacher is able to observe the student’s performance and highlight any potential challenges so that parents can make an informed decision before committing to our regular classes. This is especially important as it is crucial for parents and teachers to align their expectations and work hand-in-hand to maximise a student’s potential.
On the contrary, if a student exhibits signs of inattentiveness, disruption and/or laziness, it’s not that he/she cannot be helped. Rather, a different learning approach should be adopted & it’s typically best administered through a private 1 to 1 arrangement, which we do not offer at our centre. As different students have different learning needs, our role as educators is to find one that best fits them, so they can spend their time meaningfully every week.
