Best Maths Enrichment Classes & Tuition for Preschool,
Primary & Secondary Students in Singapore

Looking for the best Maths tuition and enrichment classes for your child? It is important to build a strong foundation and supplement your child’s learning with enrichment and tuition classes to meet the demands of the competitive school environment in Singapore.

 

As parents of growing children in an ever-changing and advancing world, ensuring your child is ready for all of life’s challenges is of utmost importance. Making your child’s holistic growth a priority will help him or her develop into an independent, empathetic, adaptable, and educated individual with a mind of steel.

 

In Singapore, a child’s formal schooling begins in nursery/kindergarten (optional) or primary school (compulsory), between the ages of 4 years old to 7 years old. Children will face various challenges in school and equipping them with the right skills for success is what will make the difference in their learning journeys.

What to Consider When Selecting
a Maths Tuition or Enrichment Centre

It is important to find out if a centre’s staff and tutors are qualified, the study materials are accurate, and that the learning environment is safe for students. Also check for the enrichment provider’s level of experience. More years spent in teaching means a better quality of education and robust experience in teaching children. A long sustaining enrichment provider would relate to good teaching methods and results as their centres continues to operate for many years. Tuition fee rates are also an important factor. However, cheaper does not always mean better as this affects the quality of curriculum, environment, service and tutors.

 

Ensuring that the teaching method is sound and successful is also of importance. The Kumon Method is an individualised learning method that supplements the Singapore education system. For the Kumon Maths Programme, the study goal is the self-study of mathematics with ease. It focuses on the development of strong calculation skills and, by excluding all unrelated concepts which may be covered in school, aim to allow students to advance as quickly as possible on their own to senior high school mathematics.

Why Does My Child Need Primary Maths Tuition?

Making sure your child has everything he or she needs to comprehend what is being taught in the classroom will bolster their confidence. No matter the age, there are several notable difficulties that students face when it comes to Maths in preschool, primary school and secondary school.

Class Schedule for Maths Tuition
Enrichment at Kumon Singapore

Kumon is a daily-practice method. Students go to class for worksheet study with observation from Instructors. On non-class days, students complete their worksheets at home. Average class timing is 30 minutes per subject.

 

Depending on students’ ability or introduction of new learning topic, time spent in centre or completing worksheets at home may be longer.

What is The Kumon Method?

photo-4

Kumon is able to help students of all levels and of all abilities. The goal of the Kumon Method is to develop independent learners who can take charge of their study routines and problem-solve homework by themselves through daily practice, learning from their mistakes and developing the “never give up” mentality to do so.

 

When first developing the Kumon Method, its founder, Toru Kumon theorized that as long as his son was able to do Maths easily in high school, he would have plenty of time to spend on whatever other pursuits he was interested in. So, he thought about what he could do at home to help his son gain proficiency in high school Maths.

 

With the aim of helping his son gain independence, Toru Kumon prepared his own learning materials and study method. He wrote out calculation problems on loose-leaf worksheets and combined them with a self-study method that would enable his son to advance by himself.

 

In effect Toru Kumon had laid the foundation for Kumon’s individualised approach that enables each student to learn in accordance with his or her academic ability, and for Kumon’s pursuit of potential; both of which we continue to place the utmost importance on.

 

Therefore, the values of independent learning, self-discipline, time management and self-confidence in solving problems that Kumon strives to instil are developed through the Kumon Method.

We at Kumon believe in the vast potential of our students and want to further develop each student’s ability. At the same time, we constantly strive for something better by continuing to develop our worksheets and instruction method. And today, this learning method continues to go beyond the borders of countries, race, culture and traditions, to reach more and more countries and regions throughout the world.
