We know.
Embarking on the Secondary 1 Math journey in Singapore can be a complex transition, both for students and parents. At this stage, the leap from Primary School Math to Secondary Math introduces new concepts and deepens existing knowledge in areas like Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. It's a time when your child might grapple with the introduction of algebraic expressions, the intricacies of geometrical properties, and the nuances of statistical data interpretation.
We understand the frustration when your child confronts these new challenges. Watching them struggle with algebraic equations, wrestle with geometry problems, or feel overwhelmed by statistical methods can be distressing. The familiar refrain of "I don't understand" or "I just don't get it" becomes more frequent, and their enthusiasm for learning might wane.
Juggling work, life, and your child's academic progress in such a demanding curriculum is no small feat. You strive to track their progress, assist with complex homework, and ensure consistent practice, but it's a daunting task, especially when dealing with unfamiliar content or advanced problem-solving techniques.
The struggle extends beyond homework. Tackling algebra or dissecting complex Science questions often turns into daily hurdles, leaving you questioning whether your child is truly advancing. Are they effectively absorbing the new concepts taught in school, or are distractions hindering their learning?
Even with the help of additional tuition, measuring its impact can be challenging. You might wonder whether these interventions are tailored to address the specific needs and learning style of your child.
At Genius Plus Academy, we recognize these challenges – they're common amongst many parents of Secondary 1 students in Singapore. We've listened to numerous parents who share your concerns and aspirations for their children's academic achievements. And we're here to reassure you – you're not navigating this journey alone.
Every child's path through Secondary 1 Math is distinctive. We're dedicated to making this educational journey as rewarding and successful as possible for your child. Let us take on the challenge of guiding them, lifting the weight off your shoulders, and reigniting their passion for learning. After all, your child's success is a victory for all of us.
Take the first step towards academic excellence. Register for our upcoming seminar conducted by Mrs Eileen Toh & Mr JY Wong at Genius Plus Academy today, and transform the way your child experiences Secondary school life.

Real Students, Real Results
Meet Student T, a boy who faced a tough time with his Sec 2 Mid-Year exams, scoring an F9. It felt like hitting a brick wall. But when he joined us, things started to change. In just half a year, his hard work paid off, and he jumped to a B4 in his Sec 2 EOY exams. Then, in Sec 3, he really shone, scoring an A1 in his EOY exams and an amazing 86% in his Prelims. It’s a story that shows how the right help can turn things around.
Now, let’s talk about Student H, a girl who was placed in the Normal Academic stream after her PSLE. She didn’t let this define her. With sheer determination, she worked her way up and got promoted to the Sec 3 Express stream. That’s when she joined us. The result? She aced both her A and E Math in the O Levels, bagging A1s in both. Her story is a powerful reminder that where you start doesn’t determine where you can go.
Both these stories tell us something important: with the right support and a never-give-up attitude, amazing transformations can happen. If Student T and Student H can do it, so can your child. Imagine the pride and joy you’ll feel seeing your child overcome their challenges and succeed. Let’s make that happen together. Join us for the Seminar and learn how your child can do the same!

“The children look forward to attending the lessons. They come back, and they don’t grumble. There’s no excess homework, but yet she’s able to drill in the concepts. Perhaps, she makes the practice of papers fun for the students. Most importantly is, even after hours and hours of Math tuition with Mrs Toh, Ariel does not dread Math and she feels more confident when she’s doing the papers.”
