Mavis Tutorial Centre

Primary 1 and 2
Jumpstart Math
At Mavis, we are aware that the secret to a good foundation is starting early. Hence, our maths tuition in Singapore aims to establish a strong base for children to build upon.
More importantly, at this impressionable age, the focus is to attract the learner’s attention. We hope that our young learners will develop a passionate interest in Mathematics through our interactive lessons.
Aside from topical tests and targeted revision exercises, our objectives for Primary 1 and 2 students are to:
·       Build fundamental numeracy skills for preparation of the upcoming years in the learners’ primary education
·       Establish a love for Mathematics as learners discover its usefulness outside the classroom
·       Develop creative problem-solving skills so that learners can adapt to the expected standards of the education system in Singapore
Primary 3
Flag Up Math
We have prepared programmes to allow learners to consolidate their knowledge as our mathematics tutors get the learners ready for this critical milestone.
In Primary 3, we will introduce heuristics, an essential method of mathematical inquiry. Instead of ‘drilling’ knowledge, we approach learning through understanding. Hence, our mathematics tutors In Mavis Tutorial Centre will guide learners through different processes to secure this objective.
For Primary 3 Math, our core aims are:
·       Further exposing learners to Heuristics as they build upon their Creative Thinking Skills
·       Consolidating Primary 1 & 2 syllabi’s critical concepts as we guide our learners to prepare for the end-year streaming examination
·       Introducing the skills involved in solving problem sums
·       Increasing our learners’ numeracy, logic reasoning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills
Primary 4
Race Ahead Math
Our mathematics tuition frequently exposes learners to heuristics or higher-level logic questions when learners reach Primary 4. Mavis provides our learners with patterned practice, which helps transition them into solving challenging questions.
 
We will arrange for increasingly levels of difficulty so that our learners understand and firmly grasp the fundamental concepts before tackling more complex problems. Our objectives for Primary 4 Math are:
·       Allowing progressive learning
·       Establishing and developing the foundation to prepare for Primary 5 and 6: the ‘crucial’ years
·       Using consistent practice to better develop our learners’ numeracy, logic reasoning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills
·       Giving learners greater exposure to heuristics to acquire the mastery of solving mind-bending questions
Primary 5
Accelerate Math
During Primary 5 Math tuition, we help learners accelerate their learning progress by reinforcing their fundamental knowledge, so that they can eventually excel.
Our objectives are more straightforward but are no less important because the syllabus taught may be tested in a PSLE math exam.
Our goals are to help learners with:
·       Development of numeracy, logic reasoning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills through consistent practice
·       Higher-level logic thinking
·       Methods to solve different types of problem sums
Primary 6
Score Math
Since learners in Primary 6 are preparing to take the PSLE, lessons are more detailed and focused. Hence, we will constantly revise previously learned concepts. To help learners prepare for PSLE Math, our objectives are:
·       Exposing learners to different types of problem sums
·       Helping them come up with out-of-the-box techniques to concepts and numerous methods to arrive at the solutions for many types of questions
·       Providing ample practice to prepare for PSLE
·       Getting learners to apply different methods to solve maths questions

When it comes to science in Primary school, the difficulty lies in not the students’ understanding but in the method of answering. Hence, we try to tackle this main issue for each level while allowing students learn through fun via our science tuition centre in Singapore.
Primary 3
In the first year of taking science in Singapore, we introduce Primary 3 students to various scientific concepts in entertaining and exciting ways to establish and nurture students’ passion for science.
Aside from topical tests and exercises to prepare for examinations, our objectives for this science tuition include:
·       Providing hands-on experiments and science demonstrations when possible
·       Introducing scientific concepts in a relatable way
·       Helping students internalize and recap concepts through engaging revision exercises
·       Aiding students to establish a healthy love and curiosity in science
Primary 4
Primary 4 science tuition uses entertaining and exciting learning methods while introducing more informational approaches.
What we hope students will master include:
·       Experimental techniques
·       Innovative approaches to concepts and multiple pathways to solve questions
·       Being able to apply keywords in recognition of a topic matter for the proper context
Primary 5
We focus on establishing and developing the foundation in science for Primary 5, so that learners can excel and increase their learning progress.
Aside from learning through our topical notes and special examination tips, we hope that students would be able to:
 
·       Engage in higher-level logical thinking
·       Learn scientific concepts and facts beyond the textbook
·       Apply scientific concepts in our modern environment
Primary 6
Because Primary 6 students are getting ready for PSLE, our lessons will be more focused. In preparation for PSLE, concepts learnt at previous levels will be recapped and reinforced in our Primary 6 science tuition.
Aside from booster lessons and PSLE preliminary tests to help highlight and correct students’ common errors, our tuition centres:
·       Introduce creative approaches to concepts and solving a wide variety of questions
·       Expose students to the method of applying keywords when attempting questions and using them in the correct context
·       Analyse questions and guide students to formulating concise and precise answers
·       Provide revision on concepts and process skills taught from P3 to P5

We teach the Chinese language through the immersion method. Our enrichment classes in Singapore focus on holistic teaching methodology through the effective use of the language.
The classes are designed to infuse not only culture but also fun and creativity. Hence, our methods are suitable for secondary school students as well. As a tuition centre in Singapore, our classes are also topical and module-based to accommodate Singapore’s revamped syllabus.
On a regular basis, we conduct a reinforcement component where the student recaps and strengthens the foundation built based on what was taught.
All modules include (secondary level included):
·       Incorporating Chinese culture through learning the nuances and unique characteristics of the language
·       Progressive & structured methodologies to progress from strength to strength, while retaining what was taught
·       Strengthening & reinforcement lessons over previously learned concepts, vocabulary and language
·       Creative writing and using linguistic skills

The first great jump in difficulty level occurs at Secondary 1, where your child must cope with 9 subjects each of which has different requirements as compared to their primary subjects. Following that will be the streaming examinations at Secondary 2.
At Mavis, our lower secondary programme not only prepares your child for the requirements at lower secondary levels but your child will also be exposed to the type of concepts and requirements for upper secondary. This allows our students to be able to bridge the gap between lower and upper secondary. We offer English, Mathematics, IP Mathematics, Science, IP Science and Chinese.
