Founder's Foreword

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to Math Academia. This is a big step in your journey towards securing those distinctions in Math.

“Math is all about practice”. You would have probably heard this from many tutors and teachers and I cannot disagree more. With the ever changing school syllabus, Math is no longer just that. To excel in Math, you need to have a good mix of practice and understanding.

In the recent years, there have been more real-life application questions being set in the O Levels and A Levels, which require students to apply simple theorems on a new level. These questions are also known as application or “Higher Order Thinking” questions. Such questions will differentiate the best students from the average. Routine and procedural questions may help a student pass the examination, but for you to score and be among the best, it is important that you expose yourself to such questions in your revision. Unlike the past, practicing without understanding is no longer relevant and it deprives you of any meaningful learning. When learning lacks meaning and relevance, naturally one would lose interest. That is where the rot sets in and it starts to go downhill. I hope the video in this website gives you further insight into our lessons, where we enforce strong concepts and do intensive drilling.

Getting an A in your exams is not an impossible task. The journey to being proficient in Math does not have to be painful, meaningless and boring. I am confident that I am your best partner in education and I look forward to hearing from you.

Your partner in education,
