Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 3 G2 A-Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers focused classes capped at 6 students. G2 Additional Mathematics introduces algebraic concepts, functions, and introductory calculus at an accessible pace with structured scaffolding. Our ESB methodology helps students build confidence with abstract mathematical thinking while maintaining strong foundations.
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
- ✓Algebra: Indices, surds, logarithms, and polynomials with scaffolded step-by-step approaches.
- ✓Functions and graphs: Quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions with guided graph interpretation.
- ✓Trigonometry: Basic identities and solving trigonometric equations with structured methods.
- ✓Calculus introduction: Differentiation of simple polynomials, gradients, and tangent/normal concepts.
- ✓Coordinate geometry: Equations of lines and circles with systematic solution approaches.
- ✓Problem-solving: Breaking complex multi-step problems into manageable sequential steps.
- ✓Examination readiness: Familiarity with SEC G2 A-Maths format and systematic solution presentation.
What Sec 3 G2 A-Maths students commonly work on
- 1
Abstract concepts — developing comfort with variables, functions, and algebraic reasoning
- 2
Multi-step solutions — maintaining accuracy through longer problem-solving sequences
- 3
Trigonometric identities — recognising when and how to apply standard identities
- 4
Differentiation concepts — understanding what gradients and rates of change represent
- 5
Connecting topics — seeing how algebra, trigonometry, and calculus relate to each other

Frequently Asked Questions
G2 A-Maths covers core additional mathematics topics at a more accessible pace. G3 A-Maths includes more advanced proofs and applications. Both prepare students for post-secondary pathways, with G2 providing solid foundations for polytechnic STEM courses.
A-Maths builds heavily on E-Maths foundations. We recommend strengthening E-Maths first. If your child is comfortable with G2 E-Maths, A-Maths can be a beneficial addition with proper support.
Yes, particularly for engineering and IT courses. A strong G2 A-Maths grade demonstrates mathematical readiness and can strengthen polytechnic applications in STEM fields.
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.
