Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 1 G2 Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers personalised classes of 3-6 students. Under Full SBB, G2 Mathematics focuses on concrete number work, practical applications, and guided algebra introduction. Our ESB methodology uses real-world examples and step-by-step scaffolding to build confidence and fluency with numbers.
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.

Curriculum Overview
- ✓Whole numbers and operations: Consolidation of arithmetic with integers, fractions, decimals, and percentages through practical contexts.
- ✓Introduction to algebra: Variables, simple expressions, and linear equations with concrete-to-abstract scaffolding.
- ✓Ratio and proportion: Practical ratio problems using everyday scenarios like recipes, maps, and scales.
- ✓Basic geometry: Properties of angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals with visual and hands-on approaches.
- ✓Data handling: Reading and interpreting tables, bar charts, and pictograms for real-world data.
- ✓Problem-solving skills: Step-by-step heuristics with guided templates for word problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
G2 Mathematics focuses on practical number work, guided algebra, and real-world applications with more scaffolding. G3 covers the same topics at greater depth with more abstract reasoning and complex problem-solving. Both lead to SEC examinations at their respective levels.
Yes. Schools assess at the end of each year, and students achieving 75% or above may level up to G3. Our tuition strengthens foundational skills and builds the confidence needed for this transition.
Our small classes (3-6 students) create a supportive environment where students can ask questions without pressure. We use concrete examples, visual aids, and progressive difficulty to rebuild confidence and make maths feel achievable.
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.
