Syllabus

What we cover

DeepThink follows the Additional Mathematics syllabus in full, with emphasis on rigorous problem-solving and algebraic fluency for both O-Level and SEC exam papers.

Algebra

  • Quadratic functions, equations, and inequalities
  • Surds
  • Polynomials and partial fractions
  • Binomial expansions
  • Exponential and logarithmic functions

Geometry & Trigonometry

  • Trigonometric functions and graphs
  • Trigonometric identities and equations
  • Coordinate geometry and transformations

Calculus

  • Differentiation (including chain, product, and quotient rules)
  • Applications of differentiation (tangents, normals, stationary points)
  • Integration
  • Applications of integration (area under curves)
Note

A-Math is foundational for H2 Mathematics at A-Level. DeepThink ensures students develop both technical fluency and conceptual depth.

Common challenges with A-Math

Students preparing for A-Math often face:

High level of abstraction

A-Math requires fluency with symbolic manipulation, algebraic identities, and abstract reasoning. Many students struggle with the cognitive demands.

Conceptual complexity

Topics like calculus and trigonometric identities require deep understanding, not just memorisation. Students must know *why* techniques work.

Multi-layered problem-solving

A-Math questions often involve several steps, requiring students to recognise connections between topics and apply techniques strategically.

Balancing A-Math with other subjects

A-Math is demanding and time-intensive. Students must manage their revision efficiently to avoid neglecting other subjects.

How DeepThink helps A-Math students

DeepThink is designed to support students through the demands of A-Math:

Build conceptual clarity, not just procedural fluency

Teachers emphasise understanding the underlying principles, so students can adapt techniques to unfamiliar question types.

Systematic practice targeting weak areas

Our platform identifies which topics each student finds difficult and ensures they receive focused practice in those areas.

Reinforce connections between topics

A-Math questions often combine multiple concepts. Weekly tuition shows students how to recognise these connections and apply integrated strategies.

Prepare strategically for exams

Students learn how to allocate time effectively, identify high-value questions, and avoid common pitfalls under exam conditions.

Students develop the rigour, precision, and strategic thinking required to excel in A-Math and beyond.

Program facts

What families should know about A-Math support

The details parents usually want before deciding whether to book a trial.

Lesson format

Weekly 1.5-hour live online class

Targeted online practice with instant marking supports work between lessons.

Class size

Maximum 4 students

Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by level — if no existing session matches your child’s pace, we open a new one.

Pricing

$50 per live class

Same fee across levels and streams.

Trial

Free trial in an existing class

Trials in existing classes are free. A dedicated trial session at a different timeslot is offered at a subsidised rate of $30. We’ll help you explore the available options.

Best fit

Students preparing for A-Math papers (O-Level or SEC exam) and more demanding algebraic problem solving.

Decision support

When A-Math support is the right fit

These are the situations where extra support tends to make the biggest difference.

High level of abstraction

A-Math requires fluency with symbolic manipulation, algebraic identities, and abstract reasoning. Many students struggle with the cognitive demands.

Conceptual complexity

Topics like calculus and trigonometric identities require deep understanding, not just memorisation. Students must know *why* techniques work.

Multi-layered problem-solving

A-Math questions often involve several steps, requiring students to recognise connections between topics and apply techniques strategically.

If any of these patterns sound familiar, this is likely the right level of support for your child — a trial class is a good next step.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers for parents

Who is A-Math Math tuition for?

Students preparing for A-Math papers (O-Level or SEC exam) and more demanding algebraic problem solving.

What does weekly A-Math support include?

Students attend a 1.5-hour live online class each week and then work through targeted online practice with instant marking and solutions between lessons.

Which syllabus or exam does this A-Math page cover?

DeepThink follows the Additional Mathematics syllabus in full, with emphasis on rigorous problem-solving and algebraic fluency for both O-Level and SEC exam papers.

Can families start with a trial class first?

Yes. A trial class helps you see whether our teaching pace and approach suit your child’s learning needs. Trials in existing classes are free. A dedicated trial session at a different timeslot is offered at a subsidised rate of $30. We’ll help you explore the available options.

How do parents know what to work on next?

We keep parents informed on what was covered and where their child should focus. If we spot persistent gaps, we flag them early — not just before exams.

How many students are in each class?

Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no session matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.
