"I especially enjoyed the functions and graphs workshop as I learnt many different ways to remember the shapes of curves. The workshop allowed me to gain confidence in handling the graph questions in the future. Besides, recaps in basics Trigonometry in E Math also allowed me to be more aware of concepts taught in school that I have get to grasp. I’d recommend anyone who’s unable to cope with studies to join Winners Education. Thank you Ai Ling!" Doreen Gan | Commonwealth Secondary

" The workshop explained challenging concepts in simple ways. Along with examples and a variety of questions that tested our understanding of the topic, this workshop helped me better understand the more complex chapters of math! " Nicholas Lam | St. Gabriel’s Secondary

Integration: The Reverse of Differentiation


After I've completed my O-Level Maths Revision Differentiation workshop for a small group of Secondary 4 O-Level A-Maths students, I understood from them why a handful of them finds Integration challenging.

They get confused when differentiation is mixed within a question with integration! Are you just like them? Is your child facing the same problem too?

The three major topics for O-Level Additional Maths are:

  1. Trigonometry
  2. Differentiation
  3. Integration 

Having a great understanding in these topics is crucial to pass O-Level A-Maths with distinction! When you have a clear understanding of the differences between differentiation and integration, you then can solve fundamental differentiation or integration techniques questions. And this is important as there are so many applications questions on:

  • Property of integral
  • Equation of curve
  • Integration is the reverse of difference (I term it 'The HENCE concept' question)
  • Partial fraction in integration
  • Area under the curve
  • Kinematics

Let's take a look at comparisons between differentiation and integration questions:

Comparison between differentiation and integration page 1

When you have a good understanding on how basic differentiation and integration rules are used in each question, you will be absolutely clear on the correct approach to take. All confusion will be transformed to confidence!

Many students need to be shown the comparison, taught the strategies, understand the reasons then they will be enjoying the topic happily.

Pass With Distinction! Workshops

For students who are committed to be extraordinary, I would like to invite you to join me on my 4 days of O-Level Maths Revision: Integration Workshop on 3, 10, 17, 24 July 2014 (Thursday) from 6pm to 9pm. I will be sharing with you the strategies on Integration my students have used to pass their O-Level A-Maths with distinction.

This is exclusively for committed students who will do whatever it takes to turn their results around as they know deep inside them, they deserve better results as long as they are willing to work hard.

For registration, please go to www.PassWithDistinction.com.

PS: I've only 7 seats left.

I would like to share with you what Paxton has sent us after he received his O-Level results last year. He stays in Jurong and he was one of the committed students who showed up for several of our A-Maths Workshops last year, despite the distance from ACS(Br) to Winners Education back to Jurong, despite the long hours in schools, despite the fatigue, despite everything... He does not allow any factors to hold him back, his parents supported his decision... His commitment pays off handsomely for him. We are proud of his achievement and his determination in truly unleashing his potential.

PassWithDistinction.com: only for the committed.

Is Your Child Doing his O-Level Maths Revision Correctly?


This year, I registered myself as a private candidate to take O-Level Additional & Elementary Maths papers which happened two weeks ago. I will discuss more of my experience in another post.

One point after doing the papers I realize was: Cambridge is still testing candidates on basic concepts for most of the questions. There are 1-2 atypical questions but if you are clear with your basics, it takes only slightly longer thinking time to solve the problem.

All students should have received their end of year examinations results already and two of the most common reasons why students don't do well in their Maths examinations:

  • Carelessness
  • Lack of practice

Does it sound familiar to you?

Many times, when I reviewed the examination papers, I found that it wasn't just careless mistakes but lack of basic concepts in solving the questions. Reducing careless mistakes can be easily achieved through strategies; I applied these "no more careless mistakes" strategies in my O-Level papers as well.

However, lack of basic concepts requires more work. I always share with my students the correct way of studying for O-Level Maths would be

  1. Understand the basics concepts for each topic
  2. Practice questions of varying challenge level, starting from basics.
  3. Review the answers and understand what goes right and what goes wrong
  4. Repeat step 2 and 3, with intermediate level questions
  5. Repeat step 2 and 3, with advance level questions

There's no shortcut in doing well in O-Level Maths. It's simply "Understand, Practice, Review" (UPR).

It has proven to be effective for myself, my students and I'm sure it could work for your child too.

It's possible to be achieved by a student with discipline and desire to improve himself but many students who aren't doing well in O-Level Maths aren't motivated to even flip open their notes or textbook, just like my students who first joined me.

If you need a programme to get your child started on his revision for O-Level Maths, this holidays I'll be conducting Topical Revision Workshops for O-Level A-Maths & E-Maths for students sitting for O-Levels in 2014,

A-Maths: Plane Geometry (Geometrical Proof) Mastery Workshop + SPECIAL CODE


Student 1: "I can't see!"

Student 2: "I don't know how to start. I don't know which theorem or formula to use."

Student 3: "I always can't do plane geometry question in exams!"

Student 4: "I don't understand the topic at all!"

These are the common problems faced by many A-Maths students in the topic of Plane Geometry, even A-grade students!

Every year since 2008 in GCE O-Level Additional Maths Paper 2, there's always a Plane Geometry question worth 8 to 10 marks!

This topic can be made easier by

  • Looking out for hints given in the question and diagram
  • Understanding the newly introduced theorems (5 of them)
  • Combining E-Maths angle and symmetry properties of circle
  • Learning the 'dummy-proof' way to prove congruent and similar triangles
  • Exposure to a variety of strategies and questions
  • Learning how to apply the skills learnt on solving questions

I'm conducting my final A-Maths Mastery Workshop on Plane Geometry this September!

Join me for this final revision and solve that Plane Geometry question in O-Level 2013, add 10 marks to your final score!

Your Child's O-Level June Maths Intensive Revision Workshops 2013


Parent: With so many providers in the market for O-Level Maths tuition, how do I know which one is the best for my child?

Me: It can be a headache if you don't know how to choose carefully. There are 3 main considerations:

  1. How is the Revision Workshops being carried out to help your child?
  2. Who is conducting the Revision Workshops?
  3. What is the proven track record?

We all agree that your child will have so many more options when he performs exceptionally in his O-Levels.He can choose to go any Junior Colleges or course in any Polytechnics easily, without having to appeal and be put through unnecessary waiting time.

Since O-Level result is so important, selecting a right revision programme for him is crucial too.

If your child is struggling to pass A-Maths or E-Maths, he has about 30 topics to master in 145 days.

To save his time, I have already based on my experience, selected challenging topics with significant weighting in O-Levels Maths. Focusing on this set of topics will help your child to build up strong understanding in the concepts, topics by topics.

  • Functions & Graphs
  • Vectors
  • Logarithms, ln & Exponential
  • Trigonometry
  • Differentiation
  • Integration
