The Role of Confidence in Our Primary Maths Tuition
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.

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
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.

Methodology
The LK Academy curriculum will guide our students to understand the relationship between questions and the specific method to solve problems. Through practice being encouraged in our Primary Math tuition, students will be able to determine and eliminate methods for use in specific questions. Our students will have opportunities to have hands-on experience in our unique lessons which will deepen their understanding of Mathematics concepts. This will inspire them to attempt various methods of problem-solving. With math tuition in-house exam settings, our students will develop time management skills and stress tolerance skills which will ensure analytical thinking during high-pressure situations. With this support using IQ and EQ, they will be in a favourable position to excel in Maths.

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!"
