The Role of Confidence in Our Primary Maths Tuition

Why should our primary priority in Primary Maths Tuition be confidence? The belief that one can succeed is what gives one confidence. We believe that in Primary Maths Tuition and in life, being prepared aids in ability improvement.

Since confidence permeates every aspect of our everyday life, in our opinion at LK Academy, it is crucial for both the spoken and written components of the exam.

Lessons in our Maths Tuition in Singapore follow the MOE curricula required by public schools. The arithmetic exam is broken up into pieces that can be done in class in order to help students get ready for school evaluations.

Why should we focus on Confidence? Confidence is the belief in one's ability to succeed. Improving the ability comes with being prepared.

At LK Academy, we believe that confidence is needed in both the spoken as well as written components of the exam and it is prevalent in our everyday lives.

Lessons are aligned with MOE syllabus for mainstream schools. Segments of the Math paper are planned such that the components are executed in our classes in preparation for school assessments.

Primary Math Tuition

With IQ and EQ incorporated in our bespoke curriculum, LK Academy acknowledges that students may overlook the importance of checking their work before handing it in. This is why we instil mindfulness, stress tolerance and time management in an exam setting under our Primary Maths Tuition in Singapore.

Armed with techniques and concepts learnt for Maths, our Confidence for Maths Programme will foster a love and understanding of Mathematics in your child. Our Primary Maths Tuition will hone confidence in your child through the exercise of heuristic approaches to solving Maths problems. Unlike other Primary Maths Tuition centres that offer conventional ways including memorising formulas, we vowed to make Maths Tuition more enjoyable.

We review our Confidence for Maths curriculum regularly to ensure that it is in line with the latest MOE syllabus.

    What Parents Say

    "LK has truly nurtured my child's interest genuinely to enjoy learning and understanding of the language. My child looks forward to class every week and looks forward to meeting with her teacher. A happy environment with the patient guidance of her teacher really enabled her to benefit academically. Not only that, she has grown in her personal development as well when it comes to having confidence to speak and express her thoughts well.

    Her confidence had been slowly built to apply what she has learnt. She knows she can do it for her daily work and exam papers!"
