Content reviewed: Jan 2026
JC1 H1 Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small groups of 3-6 learners, following Singapore's MOE A-Level syllabus. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to build applied mathematics skills in functions, calculus, and statistics for A-Level success. "Mathematical confidence grows when students understand the 'why' behind formulas, not just the 'how'," explains our teaching faculty. Our structured approach helps students apply mathematical concepts to real-world contexts in business, economics, and sciences.
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.

Curriculum Overview
- ✓Functions and graphs — Understanding and applying properties of functions; analysing and sketching linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic graphs; solving application-based problems.
- ✓Calculus — Mastery of differentiation and integration techniques; applying them to gradients, rates of change, and area under curves in practical contexts.
- ✓Probability — Learning permutations, combinations, probability laws, and expected values; applying probability to real-world uncertainty problems.
- ✓Statistics — Analysing data distributions; working with mean and variance; applying normal distribution and sampling methods; introduction to hypothesis testing.
- ✓Application skills — Linking mathematical methods to scenarios in business, economics, and sciences, strengthening cross-disciplinary problem-solving.
- ✓Examination readiness — Familiarity with H1 Mathematics paper structure, step-by-step solution presentation, efficient problem-solving strategies, and time management.

Frequently Asked Questions
H1 Maths focuses on applied mathematics with emphasis on statistics and real-world applications. It is less content-heavy than H2 and suits students pursuing humanities or social sciences. H2 Maths covers more topics in depth, including vectors and advanced calculus, for STEM pathways.
Yes, though it requires extra effort. H1 Maths builds on algebraic and statistical foundations. We help E-Maths students bridge gaps in calculus and functions while leveraging their strengths in statistics and data handling.
H1 Maths typically requires less study time than H2. We teach efficient study strategies and focus on high-yield topics, helping students manage their overall JC workload while maintaining strong mathematical foundations.
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.
