Elementary & Additional Maths Revision Workshops for Sec 3 (Plus 2012 Weekly Coaching Class)

I was in Popular bookstore to get some stationery a few days ago and it suddenly dawned on me a brand new year is coming soon.

I saw the stacks of textbooks for Primary school to Secondary school piling up in the store.

It's always an exciting transition period for many students, starting their year in a new environment with new friends, teachers and more responsibilities.

There are also another group of students who will be preparing their major examinations like PSLE and GCE O-Level and GCE A-Level.

During this school holiday, to help students who haven't fully grasped their Secondary 3 concepts in Elementary & Additional Mathematics. I'm conducting 3 revision workshops:

E-Maths Circles (angle properties, arc length, area of sector, cone & sector): 21 Nov 2011, 9am - 1pm
E-Maths Trigonometry (Trigonometrical ratio, sin rule, cosine rule, area of triangle, angle of depression & elevation, problem solving, 3D problems): 22 Nov 2011, 9am - 1pm
A-Maths Trigonometry (Simplification I & II, Graphs, Proving Identity I & II, Trigonometry Equations I & II, R-formula): 7 - 9 Dec 2011, 2pm - 6pm

All these workshops are suitable for Secondary 3 Maths students this year and it involves teaching and hands-on practice in a step-by-step manner, structured to increase your understanding and confidence upon completion.

Our 2012 Weekly O-Level Maths Tuition Class is open for registration too! More details (schedule, fees, registration) here: http://www.WinnersEducation.com/register-o-level/

I look forward in making a difference in your child's Maths performance!

Intake for Secondary 3 Additional Mathematics Coaching Programme

$O Level Maths Tuition$

Additional Mathematics is a subject which explores in depth abstract concepts and is highly application-based. It definitely demands more from students than Elementary Mathematics.

Based on my years of experience, many Secondary 3 students lose interest and confidence in A-Maths in the first 6 months when they are not able to catch up with their learning.

If you find yourself falling into this stage even 2 months in A-Maths, I would like to invite you to join my Secondary 3 A-Maths tuition class starting on 20 Feb 2011 (Sunday), 2 - 4pm.

Lesson is taught in a topical basis, with analogies drawn from everyday life examples to make learning easier and more enjoyable for students.

The following topics will be discussed for the year:

Surds
Indices
Exponential Function
Logarithms
Quadratic Equations
Partial Fractions
Factor - Remainder Theorem
Modulus Function
Coordinate Geometry
Linear Law
Trigonometry

P.S: Secondary 3 Elementary Maths class is available on Saturdays, 9 -11am.

Ai Ling has taught me the formulas for Maths in an easier way. She also showed me different techniques that can be applied to the Maths question and how to look out for certain things in questions, to be able to apply the formulas learn. That has made it easier for me to do questions and I can now do the questions with much ease. Thank you, Annabelle, CHIJ - Toa Payoh

This programme has been very helpful to me for my Maths. Through this programme, I have fully understand certain topics that I was unsure of, for example Trigonometry. This has helped my A-Maths improve greatly and I passed my CA2 A-Maths. It was the first time I passed in this year! Also, I find Ai Ling very interactive and engaging , easy to understand what she's saying. This has helped me alot and I will continue with this programme. Gabriel, Maris Stella High School

Start Your Preparation Early!

Recently, Sean - the colleague at SimpleChemConcepts.com showed me an interesting email his student sent him.

Out of the many updates this student shared was to 'Start Preparation Early!' He just completed his GCE 'O' Level examinations last month. He wrote to Sean to share his suggestion with all our students. From his experience, he felt that his Sec 4 passed too fast, with time spent on CCAs (he was a student leader) and completion of syllabus. By then, it was just 3 months left to 'O' Levels.

As I always talk to students and parents, 'O' Levels consist of the examination of the entire Sec 1 to Sec 4 (or 5) work. This is especially true for Elementary Mathematics. For Additional Mathematics, students are required to be good with 2 years of knowledge.

To Sec 4 2011 A-Maths students: please learn your Differentiation & Integration well! These are the highlights for you.

If you are willing to take this student advice seriously of 'Start Preparation Early!', I would like to invite you to join me starting in mid-Jan 2011 in my Ultimate Leap Programme - Weekly Coaching Classes. Click here to read more.

Here are the topics discussed for Sec 3 and Sec 4(or 5) and do note that the sequence is subjected to changes.

I look forward in meeting some of you and Happy 2011! Oh, did I mention that I've something for all of you next year. *wink wink* Subscribe to the blog to be updated later in January!

"Thank You!"

I just want to shout a big "Thank You!" for a special group of students who have spent their 2009 with me and my company, Winners Education Group.

Participants from June Intensive Revision Programme, Ultimate Leap Programme, E-Math Revision Programme, Trigonometry Mastery Workshop, Differentiation & Integration Mastery Workshop, my individual coaching students, Final Leap Programme and certainly not forgetting all my singaporeolevelmaths.com subscribers consisting of Singapore and International readers who are students, parents and educators.

All the best for your 'O' levels, 'iGCSE', IP and major exams!

PS: 'O' levels 2010 Holiday + 2010 Coaching programme details will be released in early Nov.

Also, singaporeolevelmaths.com will be revamping into a 'cleaner' look for easy navigation and reading. Look out for the new change at end of Oct! To leave some feedback on the design of website, go to comments section and speak your mind.

Differentiation & Integration Mastery Workshop (Includes Kinematics too!)

Update: Click here for early bird registration.

Dear Students,

Do you know that Differentiation & Integration are 2 very important sections for O Level A-Math? Based on 2008 GCE O Level Additional Mathematics Papers, the weightage of Differentiation & Integration is almost 30%!

We received feedback from students and parents that due to time constraint, many schools rush through these 2 very important topics, leaving many students totally lost in their understanding. This coupled with the fact that Differentiation & Integration are totally new concepts for all A-Math students, made matter worst.
So with less than 7 weeks to GCE O Levels are you equipped with the tools and strategies to score in Differentiation & Integration or are you facing problems in understanding the concepts?

4 Days Differentiation & Integration Mastery Workshop

Busy June Holidays With Intensive Revision Workshops (e-Math & a-Math)

I am back :-)

I apologise to all my readers on my absence for the entire month of June. I was busy with training a group of committed students in their a-Math like Logarithms, Linear Law, Trigonometry (Top Killer a-Math Topic), Quadratic Equations & Its Applications (Importance often underestimated) + Differentiation & Integration (Really x1000 important!)
e-Math Mastery Workshops include Trigonometry (again!), Vectors (many can't find this out too!), Graphs Mastery & Statistics - Probability (the participants were amazed by the power of their calculator + the shortcuts which saves them the time yet score the marks)

It was tiring but fun and meaningful June holidays. I am confident to say that most students left each workshop with an increased level of confidence and more tools to handle those exam questions!

They were equipped with the following:

Shortcuts (time-saving + easy to use)
Strategies to relate concepts to everyday life examples (help them to understand better and clearer)
Wise usage of time in exams conditions
Exposure to the various types of tricky , challenging + "interesting" exam questions

For those who missed out on your programmes, we are re-running A-Math Trigonometry Mastery Workshop. Be posted of future workshops by filling up your email details here.

For the next few weeks, I will continue to blog on more Math Tips on the common mistakes many students make and how you can avoid them to score more marks for your exams!
