Small-group lessons matched to school topics, weighted assessments, and the move towards H2 Maths.
Prefer a quick answer?Ask AI:
IP schools teach topics in different orders. We start with the student's school materials and recent scripts, then fix the older algebra, geometry, or graphing gaps slowing down current work.
| IP1-IP2 | Algebra fluency, geometry, basic trigonometry, ratios, graphs, and problem setup. |
| IP3-IP4 | Functions, graphs, logarithms, calculus entry, probability, and school exam practice. |
| Preparation for JC | H2 functions, vectors, calculus, statistics, and planning complete solutions independently. |
Grades are uneven across topics
A student can handle the current chapter but still lose marks when older algebra, geometry, or graphing steps reappear.
The school pace feels compressed
IP schools may move quickly from basics to unfamiliar applications. Lessons therefore need to follow the student's school sequence.
Year 4 must prepare for H2 Maths
By Year 4, students need secure working in functions, calculus, vectors, and statistics before JC.
Marcus Pang, Eclat's Managing Director, helps IP Maths students strengthen their Maths foundations and study habits. He also helps families find a suitable class.
Managing Director
Managing Director at Eclat Institute. Helps IP students build consistent study systems and strong maths foundations.
Marcus Pang graduated from River Valley High School (RVHS IP) and has a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) from the National University of Singapore, as well as a master of education in curriculum and teaching by the national institute of teaching (NIE). Teaching since 2014, and with experience in MOE schools teaching IP students, he serves as the current principal tutor in Eclat Institute. He is also an adjunct lecturer, and teacher trainer for PEIs on O-Level, A-Level, IGCSE, and CIE theory classes as well as lab work. Connect on
4 lessons each month, 1.5 hours each.
SGD 360-400
per subject, per month
Continue into the next year and the Early Intake rate applies again.
For Sec 1 students to students preparing for JC, tuition is most useful when it solves a specific problem and fits the student's week. Check these points before comparing centres or booking another class.
Name the problem first
Check whether the issue is foundation, exam technique, motivation, workload, or the current class before adding more lessons.
Start with the smallest useful step
If the student already knows the problem, a school consultation, corrected script, or self-study plan may be enough for now.
Check the class before committing
Ask who teaches, how large the class is, what happens after a missed lesson, what the fees include, and how parents receive updates.
Open the sections below for fees, class formats, syllabus details, and checklists.
Review
Check the student's current school topic, recent weighted assessment scripts, and repeated mistakes.
Relearn
Relearn the most important concept or method before adding more worksheets.
Apply
Use the same idea in unfamiliar IP questions, timed work, and corrections.
Choose the question closest to the decision you are making.
Sec 1 to 2 foundations: numbers, algebra, geometry, and data handling with printable PDFs.
Sec 3 to 4 EMaths (E Maths / Elementary Maths) notes: algebra, graphs, mensuration, probability, and statistics in syllabus order.
IP schools often move through foundational topics quickly and introduce proofs, functions, and statistics earlier. We follow the student's school sequence and introduce A-Level techniques such as binomial proof and parametric equations gradually from Year 3.
Many students start in Sec 3 when algebra, functions, and calculus become harder, or before a major weighted assessment when marks are unstable. A student who starts later should first revisit weak foundations and practise timed papers.
Share the school, level, and latest grade. We will recommend a suitable class and explain what happens next.

My daughter is so happy that she got an A, though she said many of her classmates got A+. But to her, it is a big jump from failing. We would like to push her slowly to achieve A+. Today, her teacher asked her to go to the board and answer the question on factorisation using the cross method. She knew how to do it and got it correct. She finds it so satisfying.

Protect time and energy
Tuition should reduce confusion, not add unnecessary work. Check the student's CCA load, travel time, school homework, and willingness to attend.
Look for proof without guarantees
Look for sample materials, marked work, clear class details, and a make-up policy. Avoid grade promises.

Does IP school order matter?
Yes. We first check what the school is teaching now, then separates urgent exam topics from background gaps.
Is one-to-one better?
Eclat's weekly programme is small-group tuition. If the student has one specific gap that needs individual attention, a one-to-one provider may be worth comparing before committing.
What if my child is too weak?
Start with the topic costing the most marks instead of adding more worksheets across every topic.
How is progress checked?
Progress is checked through worked corrections, and school-exam preparation before each assessment window.
Strong IP Maths foundations are the platform for competition success. Our students have gone on to compete in SASMO, SMO, and other olympiads. Not sure which competition is right for your child?

Sec 3 to 4 AMaths (A Maths / Additional Maths) notes: trig, calculus, and worked examples with printable PDFs.
We cap each group at 8 students so the tutor can check each student's working, correct misunderstandings early, and give useful comments during class.
In-person theory lessons run at Jurong East Centre (Vision Exchange) (2 Venture Dr, #16-07 Vision Exchange). Our one-north office is for talks and presentations only, not regular lessons. See the Centre section above for the full address and map link.
Fees are charged monthly for each subject. The Early Intake from October to February is SGD 360 per month. The Regular Intake from March to June is SGD 380 per month. The Catch-up Intake from July to September is SGD 400 per month. Students who continue into the next year return to the Early Intake rate of SGD 360 per month. The monthly fee covers 4 weekly 1.5-hour lessons. Holiday intensives and practical clinics are scheduled separately. Use the WhatsApp button to ask about current class times.
Yes. IP Mathematics includes much of what the O-Level syllabus calls Additional Mathematics. Differentiation and integration commonly appear by Year 3.
We begin with a short assessment and a conversation about the student's recent work. This shows which concepts and methods need attention first. Lessons then focus on those gaps so the student can see steady progress.
Students explain why they chose a method, not only how they carried it out. We also ask them to review mistakes and describe what they would do differently next time.
Yes. After each term, we may recommend a faster or steadier class. All classes cover the same core ideas, so moving between them is manageable.
Yes. Students practise the TI-84 or Casio fx-CG50 functions needed for their school work and exams.
Year 4 students can preview three-dimensional vectors, Maclaurin series, and introductory proofs so the start of JC1 feels less abrupt.
Across 2020 - 2025, 9 in 10 students scored As and Bs in Maths. 6 in 10 students scored A1 or A2 in Maths. Those starting at a failing grade averaged a 2-band climb within one semester.
Course notes, worksheets, and portal access are included. Optional competition preparation packs are priced separately.
We identify weaknesses that your teenager can quickly improve on. Motivation often rises with concrete progress.
Yes. Physics and Maths classes are scheduled so students can attend both without having two demanding lessons back to back.
