Content reviewed: Jan 2026
IB MYP 10 Mathematics tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers focused classes capped at 6 students, aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme Mathematics framework. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to consolidate algebra, trigonometry, functions, and statistics, preparing students for IB DP Mathematics. "DP success comes from connecting knowledge across disciplines—MYP 10 builds this interdisciplinary thinking," according to our educators. Our structured approach helps students develop confident exam-ready skills for IB DP Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Self-directed retrieval scheduling where students learn to identify their own weak areas and plan review cycles accordingly — developing the metacognitive skills essential for A-Level success and independent university study.
Socratic Questioning
Rigorous dialectic questioning where students must justify their reasoning and consider counterarguments — 'What evidence supports this?' and 'Where could this logic break down?' — building the analytical rigour expected in higher education.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Minimal scaffolding with maximum autonomy — tutors pose challenging problems and observe, intervening only when students are genuinely stuck — preparing students to structure their own approach to unfamiliar problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
MYP 10 develops the algebraic fluency, trigonometric mastery, and problem-solving independence required for DP Mathematics. Students work at pre-diploma level, practising the mathematical communication and analytical skills expected in both DP pathways.
MYP 10 helps students understand both DP options: Analysis and Approaches (more abstract and proof-based) and Applications and Interpretation (more applied and technology-focused). Teachers help students identify which pathway suits their strengths and future goals.
Students master quadratic and simultaneous equations, advanced trigonometry including identities, functions and transformations, and statistical concepts including standard deviation. This provides the foundation for both DP Mathematics courses.
Our small-group classes are intentionally kept between 3 and 6 students so every learner receives close guidance, timely feedback, and ample practice.
Each lesson is 2 hours, providing ample time for thorough coverage of topics and interactive learning.
Yes. All lesson materials and worksheets are provided and included in the fees. Students should bring regular stationery and, where applicable, school textbooks/workbooks for reference.
Yes. Our materials and pacing align with the MOE syllabus. External syllabuses (e.g. IGCSE, IB) are available upon request.
