The Singapore PSLE exam is a key point in Singapore’s streaming system. Many parents start to feel anxious in the first grade, thinking that the first grade of primary school is the starting point of the PSLE exam sprint, so they pay more attention to their children’s learning of various subjects. Mathematics is an important subject, and some parents will have such questions: Why are the children’s other subjects good, but the math score is not as good as others? Is it because the children lack learning ability?
In fact, this is not because the children are lack of ability of learning. Compared with other subjects, mathematics is more inclined to the understanding and application of abstract characters, and children at the current stage do not have enough ability to understand abstract symbols and cannot directly obtain the corresponding logical relationship from numbers. Although teachers will teach in class based on CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) learning method, abstract shapes will still be the main focus in homework and exams. Therefore, even if children understand in class, they will feel confused and distressed when facing homework when they return home.
Secondly, the knowledge of mathematics are closely linked. If children are not proficient in addition and subtraction, it will directly affect the learning of multiplication and division. Especially the Singapore mathematics is famous for its “spiral upward”. Once a part of this link is weak, subsequent learning is prone to frustration. If kids cannot enjoy the joy of success in learning, it is naturally difficult to generate interest in this subject, which resulting in a vicious cycle. Therefore, laying a foundation at the beginning of mathematics learning will be more advantageous for subsequent learning and ability improvement.
However, the assistances parents can provide in such situations is usually limited: 1) in terms of time and energy, it is difficult for parents to have enough time to analyze their children’s homework in detail, so they cannot find where their children are weak and find the solutions; 2) the questions in primary school courses are too simple for parents. So parents can usually give answers quickly, but fail to make their children understand their own thinking. Therefore, many parents are faced with the problem of repeatedly explaining the questions many times, but the children are still unable to think and digest them independently. It leads to the result that parents lose patience, while the children are more afraid and dread contact with mathematics.
Facing to this dilemma, Sinobus’s online one-on-one math tutoring provide a satisfactory answer to many of parents. Sinobus teachers have rich teaching experience and are proficient in dealing with all problems that arise in children’s learning process in primary school. At the same time, teachers have enough time and patience to analyze the weaknesses of children in math problem solving, and carry out targeted and systematic basic consolidation and thinking ability enhancement. During classroom learning, teachers will not only use interesting courseware and games to help children understand classroom knowledge, but also assign homework for the corresponding stage after class to help children consolidate knowledge points. When learning new knowledge points, teachers will also link previously learned knowledge points to allow children to build a basic logical chain.

We will arrange courses according to students’ free time. As long as there is a computer or mobile phone, a class can be completed. The classroom process is transparent, and parents can also accompany the class or view the live broadcast video after class to intuitively understand their children’s classroom learning performance and learning results.
