IB MYP 7 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 develop algebraic thinking, proportional reasoning, and multi-step problem-solving for MYP criterion-based assessment. "Mathematical confidence grows when students understand the 'why' behind formulas, not just the 'how'," notes our curriculum team. Our structured approach helps students master abstract reasoning with confident algebraic manipulation and real-world application skills.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Planned retrieval practice at expanding intervals — weekly topic quizzes, monthly mixed reviews, and term revision cycles — timed to strengthen memory just before it weakens, so knowledge stays accessible under exam pressure.
Socratic Questioning
Probing questions that surface each student's reasoning — 'Why did you choose that method?' and 'What if the question changed this detail?' — revealing gaps in understanding early so misconceptions are corrected before they compound.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Graduated support from fully guided to fully independent — tutors first model the solution, then prompt during practice, then observe silently — systematically building competence while ensuring students do not develop reliance on hints.
