Why Do Students Struggle with Learning Maths?

Abstract Concepts

Math involves abstract thinking, which can be challenging for students who are more accustomed to concrete learning experiences. This disconnect can lead to frustration and self-doubt as they struggle to see the relevance or understand the principles at play.

Maths Anxiety

Anxiety around Math creates a fear of making mistakes, leading to a vicious cycle where fear of failure inhibits learning and participation. This anxiety can create a mental block, where students doubt their capabilities and may avoid engaging with Math altogether.

Teaching Methods

One size does not fit all, especially in learning. Traditional teaching approaches can leave many students feeling lost, disconnected, and disengaged. Thus, they might struggle to grasp concepts that they could otherwise understand through a different approach.

Poor Foundation

A weak foundation in basic mathematical skills can leave students feeling insecure about their abilities. Without a solid base, each subsequent topic feels more challenging, hindering students’ progress to more advanced topics.

How Our Small Group Math Tuition Programme Builds Your Child's Confidence in Maths

1) Math tutors with 30+ years of combined teaching experience

At The Nuggets Academy, our team of education specialists boasts over 30 years of combined teaching experience, specialising in guiding students who are failing to achieving scores around 65%.

We understand intimately what makes maths daunting for students and have mastered the techniques to make it accessible and less intimidating.

Our approach goes beyond just teaching maths; we’re here to build a positive relationship with your child, boost their self-esteem, and foster a genuine understanding and love for maths.

Furthermore, our track record speaks for itself. We have successfully guided countless primary school students to excel in their Math exams and prepared secondary school students for junior college with confidence and skill.

2) Making Math fun with digestible bite-sized modules

At our Math tuition centre, we understand that learning a subject that you don’t like or have no confidence in is double the struggle.

Thus, we’ve made sure that our Math lessons are fun and engaging through digestible, bite-sized modules. We believe that through perseverance, patience, and the right guidance, every student has the potential to excel and even develop a passion for Maths!

Our sessions last 1 hour and 45 minutes, allowing time for detailed explanations, deep understanding, and ample practice. This no-rush approach ensures that students master fundamental skills confidently before advancing to more complex concepts.

Ultimately, our bite-sized, step-by-step mastery is at the heart of our success in building students’ confidence and love for maths.

3) Small class sizes of 6 students for personalised attentiveness

Personalised attention is key to effective learning, which is why we limit our small group coaching sessions to a 6 student-per-tutor ratio.

This setup ensures that every student receives the focused attention they deserve, allowing our tutors to customise learning plans and materials that meet each individual’s unique needs.

We employ a dynamic and rotational teaching approach, keeping every student engaged in their work while our experienced tutors provide close guidance and support.

This method fosters a conducive learning environment where every moment is an opportunity for growth without anyone left waiting for spoon-fed answers.

Luke is with The Nuggets for English and Science. He has improved in his composition and science mcq (options can be quite tricky). His P3 EOY achieved good results. Teacher Vivienne and Teacher Melody has reviewed his papers and have developed plans for Luke to work on Comprehension and Science Open ended questions. My son looks forward to lessons all the time, with snacks during breaks and points system to redeem gifts.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Nora! We're thrilled to hear about Luke's progress in both English and Science. It's great to know that he's enjoying his lessons and benefiting from the support of Teachers Vivienne and Melody.

All my kids truly enjoy their time at Nuggets Academy.

My boys especially looks forward to the classes because they enjoy collecting points and redeeming rewards that they like. 😅

The lessons must be very well-taught each week — my boy only did two test papers that I gave him the night before the examination, yet he managed to score 90/100 — amazing results! 🎉

A special thanks to Tr Jia Hao for also taking the time to give extra lessons to my O level boy.

We really appreciate your commitment and dedication to helping the boys learn and grow. 🙏

My daughters have been going to MathNugget for almost 2 years and I do see steady improvement especially in my younger daughter. They are now more confident in this subject and can tackle word problems better. I appreciate the small class size (max5-6kids to 1 teacher) which ensures each child gets enough attention. Concepts and methods taught are closely aligned to school curriculum. My daughters tell me they learn these ahead of what is being taught in school which is very helpful. Overall, a good tuition centre with kind teachers and happy students. 👍🏻

Recommended as my child likes the point system concept that motivates her to do better to collect point to achieve her goal of getting the item she aims to get. Something different from other tuition centres. And the small scale ratio of students vs. teacher is a plus point as it is easier for the teacher to assist on weaker students. Thumbs up! ☺️☺️

Maths is now the subject my daughter (P5 this year) seems to be most enthusiastic abt!
