Math Programme
If looking at your child’s Math questions are leaving you as stumped and frustrated as your child, help is at hand.
The Singapore Model Method (MOE)
The Model Method is highly recommended by MOE and widely used in Singapore schools for learning mathematical concepts. It is also recognised internationally as an effective way for young children to learn problem solving.
Tuition Guru focuses on the model method to solve word problems to ensure consistency between tuition classes and school. Read More [Link to blog entry ...]
Conceptual Approach
We focus on concepts that can be applied across various topics rather than teaching topic by topic. We believe in innovation and creativity to bring about fun and joy in learning. We help your child to acquire the ability to categorize questions, understand the concepts behind the questions and apply appropriate techniques to tackle the questions and thus better his or her chance at acing the paper.

Small is beautiful. Few is good.
At Tuition Guru, small class sizes of not more than 8 students will ensure students receive personalised attention from our committed teachers.
Teachers at TuitionGuru take the approach of focusing on just a few questions during the lesson so that students can be brought through the solution step-by-step, to ensure that they understand it fully and are able to apply to other similar questions.

Keeping abreast
You, the parent will know exactly what’s going on in the class. At the end of each lesson, parents will be invited for a lesson debrief. Parents will be kept up to speed on what was taught during the lesson and how they can further aid their children at home.
