Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 3 G1 Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) develops practical mathematical skills for the SEC G1 examination and ITE readiness. Under Full SBB, upper secondary G1 Mathematics focuses on applied numeracy — percentages, mensuration, basic statistics, and financial literacy. Our ESB methodology uses workplace and everyday scenarios to make maths meaningful.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
SEC G1 Maths covers arithmetic, financial mathematics (interest, GST, profit/loss), mensuration, basic statistics and probability, simple algebra, and basic geometry. Our tuition covers all syllabus topics with practical application focus.
ITE programmes in Engineering, IT, Business, and Health Sciences all require practical numeracy. G1 Maths builds the calculation, measurement, and data skills that ITE modules build upon directly.
No. E-Maths (Elementary Mathematics) is a G3-level subject with more abstract algebra, trigonometry, and complex problem-solving. G1 Maths focuses on practical, applied numeracy with real-world contexts. The SEC examination papers are different.
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.
