Content reviewed: Jan 2026
JC1 H2 Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small-group classes of 3-6 students, following Singapore's MOE A-Level syllabus. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to build advanced skills in algebra, calculus, vectors, and statistics for A-Level and university preparation. "Mathematical confidence grows when students understand the 'why' behind formulas, not just the 'how'," notes our curriculum team. Our structured approach helps students develop the mathematical maturity needed for STEM and economics pathways.
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.

- ✓Sequences and series — Arithmetic and geometric progressions; sum to n terms; convergence of infinite geometric series; sigma notation.
- ✓Algebra — Mastery of binomial expansions, partial fractions, and inequalities; solving higher-order equations with precision.
- ✓Calculus — Differentiation and integration of polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; Maclaurin series; differential equations by separation of variables; applications to gradients, maxima/minima, kinematics, and area/volume.
- ✓Trigonometry — Advanced trigonometric identities, equations, and applications in problem-solving.
- ✓Vectors — Representation of vectors in 2D and 3D; scalar and vector products; vector equations of lines and planes; applications to geometry, mechanics, and finding areas.
- ✓Complex numbers — Cartesian and polar forms; operations, Argand diagrams, and applications to solving equations.
- ✓Probability and statistics — Permutations, combinations, probability distributions, sampling, hypothesis testing, correlation, regression, and use of normal distribution.
- ✓Mathematical modelling — Applying mathematics to interpret real-world contexts, evaluating assumptions and limitations.
- ✓Examination readiness — Familiarity with H2 Mathematics exam format (Paper 1 and 2), step-by-step solution presentation, efficient time management, and strategies for non-routine problem-solving.
What JC1 H2 Maths students commonly work on
- 1
Algebraic rigour — mastering complex manipulations with precision and without shortcuts
- 2
Integration techniques — recognising which method to apply (substitution, by parts, partial fractions)
- 3
Vectors in 3D — visualising and solving problems involving lines and planes in space
- 4
Connecting Pure Maths and Statistics — applying calculus concepts to probability distributions
- 5
Non-routine problems — structuring approaches to questions that combine multiple topics

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, H2 Maths is substantially more demanding. It covers more topics at greater depth, including vectors in 3D, advanced integration techniques, and complex probability distributions. Strong A-Maths foundations are essential, but JC1 requires building new skills and mathematical maturity.
Most STEM degrees (engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry) and quantitative social sciences (economics, data science) require or strongly prefer H2 Maths. Medical schools accept H1 Maths, but H2 demonstrates stronger analytical capability.
We build algebraic fluency through systematic practice and teach students to approach proofs and derivations methodically. Small group settings allow us to identify conceptual gaps early and address them before they compound.
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.
