Math Insight It is a school located in KowloonMong Kok area, specially designed for Band 1 secondary schools.maths tuition centre. We set junior secondary maths tuition class and DSE maths tuition classes In the classroom, teachers will help students solve their learning myths and develop suitable review materials for them based on their weaknesses in mathematics. In addition, we also provide IB maths tuition class, taught by teachers who are familiar with IB mathematics courses, laying a solid foundation for students who will further their studies abroad. We believe that good basic mathematical theories can help consolidate students’ understanding of mathematics.
We are different from other maths tuition centers: in addition to focusing on "results", we also focus on the "process" of teaching students. Because the scoring mechanism of the public examination itself will give points for the reasoning steps, the understanding process can not only stabilize the score, but also allow students to still have an entry point when facing unseen question types. The mathematics scores of most students at Math Insight have been steadily improving. Most of the students come from Band 1 secondary schools in Kowloon district, such as DBS (Diocesan Boys' School), DGS (Diocesan Girls' School), La Salle College (La Salle College), MCS, Wah Yan College, Kowloon, Heep Yunn School, CKY and other international schools.

Mathematics is a cumulative subject: Form 1 to Form 3 Numbers and Algebra, Measurement, Figures and Space, Data processing The three major learning areas are the foundation of the senior secondary Core. The senior secondary mathematics curriculum guidelines of the Hong Kong Curriculum Development Council and the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority divide the Core into these three learning areas, and add "advanced learning units" to allow students to comprehensively apply knowledge in each area to solve problems. In other words, if a junior secondary leaves a gap in factoring, equations, trigonometry or coordinate geometry, it will almost certainly appear after Form 4.
First understand the scoring rules, and then decide on the order of review
According to the mathematics assessment syllabus of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA), Core's public examination consists of two papers, which together constitute the overall score of the subject:
| test paper | question type | Exam time | proportion | Structural points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | Traditional questions (steps required) | 2 hours 15 minutes | 65% | The full score is 105 points, divided into short questions in Part A and long questions in Part B. All questions must be answered. |
| Paper 2 | multiple choice questions | 1 hour 15 minutes | 35% | There are 45 questions in total, each question is worth 1 point, and no points will be deducted for wrong answers. Part A accounts for about two-thirds of the entire paper, covering the core basic topics and the basic parts of Form 1 to Form 3. Part B covers the Core and the entire junior secondary course. |
This structure directly determines the review strategy. Paper 1 accounts for 65%, and long questions are scored according to steps, so maths steps Writing training is more rewarding than blindly answering questions; Paper 2 does not have negative marks, which means that no question should be left blank. The key to scoring is the skill of making choices under time pressure. Related detailed disassembly can be seen DSE Mathematics Paper 1 Strategy and DSE Mathematics Paper 2 (MC) Strategy.
We have broken down the improvement of DSE mathematics into four verifiable stages: filling holes in concepts, classifying question types, time-limited practice, and closing loops on wrong questions. There are corresponding special articles for each stage:
Extended Modules can only take one unit of its Form. The examination format for both units is the same: only one test paper, the test time is 2 hours and 30 minutes, the full score is 100 points, and it is divided into short questions in Part A and long questions in Part B. All questions must be answered.
| Compare items | M1 (Calculus and Statistics) | M2 (Algebra and Calculus) |
|---|---|---|
| core content | Application of binomial theorem, exponential and logarithmic functions, basic differential and integral calculus, binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, normal distribution, sampling and statistical inference, hypothesis testing | Mathematical induction, binomial theorem, trigonometric functions and their derivatives, limits of e, complex numbers, matrices and determinants, systems of linear equations, vectors, more in-depth differentiation and integration skills |
| thinking orientation | Application and modelling, focusing on situational understanding and data interpretation | Abstract deduction and proof, focusing on the rigor of algebraic operations |
| Exam format | One paper, 2 hours 30 minutes, 100 points | One paper, 2 hours 30 minutes, 100 points |
| Common candidates | Targeted at students with quantitative majors in business, biomedicine, and social sciences | Targeted at students in engineering, physics, mathematics, actuarial science, computer science |
| Relationship with Core | The statistics section extends the compulsory "data processing" category | Algebra and Calculus pave the way for first-year college mathematics, with obvious connection advantages |
Please note: Different universities and different departments handle Extended Modules in different ways. Some are only regarded as extra points, and some require or give preferential treatment to M1/M2 scores in specific courses. Before choosing a subject, you should directly check the admission requirements of the target department for that year. Do not just rely on "listening to what others say". In-depth comparison can be seen M1 M2 subject selection comparison, M1 Tuition Course, M2 Tuition Course, M1 complete guide and M2 complete guide.
Mathematics curriculum support for international schools and students studying abroad
The current IB Diploma mathematics is divided into two subjects:Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) and Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (AI), each subject has two levels: HL and SL. The recommended teaching hours are 150 hours for SL and 240 hours for HL; the internal assessment Mathematical Exploration (IA, a mathematical exploration report of approximately 12 to 20 pages) in both subjects and levels will each count for 20% of the final grade.
| project | SL | HL |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended teaching hours | 150 hours | 240 hours |
| external assessment papers | Paper 1, Paper 2 (1 hour and 30 minutes each) | Paper 1, Paper 2 (2 hours each) + Paper 3 (1 hour, open-ended problem solving) |
| Paper 3 | Not available | HL proprietary, approximately 20% |
| Internal Assessment (IA) | Mathematical Exploration, 20% | Mathematical Exploration, 20% |
| calculator | Computers are not allowed for AA Paper 1; all AI papers are available at GDC | Computers are not allowed for AA Paper 1; all AI papers are available at GDC |
In terms of subject selection, AA focuses on the analysis skills of algebraic deduction, functions and calculus, and is suitable for studying engineering, mathematics, physics or quantitative economics in the future; AI focuses on statistics, modelling and the application of technology, and is suitable for design, social sciences and business analysis. IA topic selection is often the position that opens up the level - the topics are too big to complete, too detailed and not mathematically deep enough. We will provide step-by-step guidance on this part. See details IB Mathematics AA Tuition, IB Mathematics AI Tuition and IB/GCE course page.
IGCSE Mathematics is generally taken at the Form 3 to Form 4 stage, and is the branching point before IB or A-Level. Taking Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics A (4MA1) as an example, the course is divided into two levels: Foundation and Higher, using a 9 to 1 rating: Foundation can take grades 5 to 1, and Higher can take grades 9 to 4 (an additional grade 3 is set as the allowed grade). Each of the two papers is 2 hours long and each accounts for 50%. Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0580) is divided into two levels: Core and Extended. Extended covers deeper algebra and function content. Level selection will directly seal the upper limit of grades, so it is advisable to evaluate as early as possible.
Edexcel International A Level Mathematics is a unit system. The entire IAL consists of six units: Pure Mathematics P1 to P4 are compulsory core units, plus two application units, which can be chosen from Mechanics (M1, M2), Statistics (S1, S2) or Decision Mathematics (D1); IAS (AS level) is P1, P2 plus an application unit. The most common combination in practice is P1–P4 with M1 and S1. Note that the old C1 to C4 have been replaced by P1 to P4, please be clear when searching for old data. See details Edexcel IAL maths tuition.
Tailor-made teaching materials, three levels of difficulty exercises, each lesson and after-class quizzes
Develop teaching materials closely based on students' learning progress, and proceed from the shallower to the deeper. Develop lessons and exercises based on students' levels, rather than using the same set of notes for the whole class.
First consolidate the basic concepts, then proceed to intensify and deepen the question types, and finally add Past Paper from famous schools to simultaneously improve the computing speed and adaptability to the examination mode.
The teacher-student ratio is no more than 1:7. There are 12 to 14 students in each class, taught by two instructors. Each class has homework and after-class quizzes to ensure that what is learned in class is tested immediately.
The three modes solve different problems. Choosing the wrong mode often has a greater impact than choosing the wrong tuition centre:
| model | most suitable situation | Advantages | Need to pay attention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small class maths tuition | Have a certain foundation and need systematic progress and test-taking practice | Systematized teaching materials, peer comparison, lower cost, fixed rhythm | Special personal gaps need to be filled through after-class follow-up |
| One-on-one maths tuition | There is a large foundation gap, intensive supplementation is needed, or the school-based progress is special | Adjust the rhythm completely according to the weak points, and the explanation density is the highest | The unit cost is high and students need to take the initiative to ask questions |
| online maths tuition | The distance is long, the time is fragmented, or short-term supplementary lessons are needed | Saves transportation time, can revisit key points, and has high flexibility | Self-discipline and a stable network are required, and supporting arrangements must be made for handwriting steps. |

The specific solution from "clearly knowing what to do but miscalculating" to "not finishing the exam"
The most common reason for declining grades is that gaps in pre-requisite concepts are covered up by new topics. For example, poor performance in quadratic functions often comes from factoring and perfect squares; failure in trigonometry often comes from proportions and similar triangles. Therefore, our solution is to first diagnose the gap location and then backtrack to fill the hole, rather than redouble practice on the current topic. For related practices, see Mathematics supplement and progress tracking.
The long questions in the public examination will be scored according to the reasoning steps. Points will be deducted for skipping steps, missing units, and incorrect rounding timing without affecting the "right or wrong answer." We require students to establish fixed writing formats and calculation habits, and use an error book to track the repetition rate of each type of error. See details Sorting out common missing points in mathematics.
There are only 75 minutes for the 45 questions in Paper 2, with an average of less than 100 seconds per question; the 105 points in Paper 1 require 135 minutes to complete and write down all the steps. Time management must be formed into muscle memory during usual time-limited drills, rather than being decided at the last minute in the exam room. See details DSE maths Time Allocation.
Nervousness often comes from "not knowing how much you know." When students have quantifiable progress records—weekly quizzes, recidivism rates, timed test score curves—anxiety will be significantly reduced. This is one of the reasons why we set up homework and after-class quizzes in every class. Can be referenced Testimonials Self-reported mindset changes among secondary school students.
Real student testimonials – graduates from DBS, DGS, prestigious universities and international programmes
Wan sir always emphasises on understanding instead of memorising. Though lessons are in small classes, he pays attention to each student's weaknesses and prepares different questions for individualised needs. I would definitely recommend Wan sir to anyone who wants to excel in maths!
MATH used to mean “Mental Abuse To Human” for me. Wan sir explains the thinking process behind every question. Under his teaching, mathematics is no longer mental abuse, but a fun subject — when you know the way, math is just a game.
Mr. Terry Wan is one of the most inspirational teachers I've ever had. His systematic approach and exam techniques prepared me thoroughly for DSE. His genuine interest in knowledge prompted me to learn independently — vital for my admission to Oxford.
I had been a student here for four years and was never a bright maths student. Wan sir was always patient, never found my questions annoying, and helped after class by message or phone. He puts students first — I will never forget his encouragement.
Mr Wan taught me since S.1. My results improved and I grew to love Maths. He knew our problems and gave suitable exercises — my score reached top ten in school. Kind and humorous; now I major in Maths at CUHK.
Without Terry’s patience I would not have excelled in IB Math. His dedicated explanations of convoluted concepts show in my improvement. Five years of his logical teaching — I attribute my success to him.

Paper 1 is a traditional question with a test time of 2 hours and 15 minutes, accounting for 65% of the subject; Paper 2 is a multiple-choice question with a total of 45 questions, a test time of 1 hour and 15 minutes, accounting for 35%, and no points will be deducted for wrong answers. See detailed disassembly Paper 1 Strategy and Paper 2 Strategy.
M1 is "Calculus and Statistics", which focuses on applied statistics and modelling; M2 is "Algebra and Calculus", which focuses on abstract algebraic deduction and deeper calculus. The format of both exams is the same, with the same paper, 2 hours and 30 minutes, and 100 points. The selection should take into account both personal strengths and the admission requirements of the target department for that year. For details, see M1 M2 comparison.
AA focuses on analysis and algebraic deduction, and computers are not allowed in Paper 1; AI focuses on statistics and technological applications, and all test papers can use graphics computers. The recommended teaching hours are 150 hours for SL and 240 hours for HL, with IA accounting for 20% for both. See details IB AA and IB AI Page.
It’s not too late, but the tuition strategy needs to change: when time is limited, gap diagnosis must be done first and focus on high-frequency and high-scoring topics instead of rereading in order from the beginning. If the foundation gap is large, it is recommended to report first Mathematics supplementary courses, and then transition to DSE courses.
Summer vacation is the only time when you can "make up for old gaps" and "preview new topics" at the same time. our summer maths courses There are bridging classes and sprint classes. Freshmen from Form 1 can first solve the abstraction gap from primary school to secondary school, while students from Form 5 to Form 6 can complete the first round of past paper system practice.
