Which course should I enroll in?
Choosing the wrong course is harder to remedy than choosing the wrong tuition centre. The following is a suggested arrangement based on the actual situation.
| your situation | Suggested courses | reason |
|---|---|---|
| Xiaoliu Sheng Form 1, worried about not being able to keep up | Form 1 course or Summer Bridging Class | The biggest level in Form 1 is the transformation from concrete arithmetic to abstract symbolic arithmetic. |
| Mathematics scores drop significantly from Form 2 onwards | Form 2 courses | Factoring, simultaneous equations, and similar triangles are the most common fault locations |
| Form 3, you have to decide between M1 and M2 | Form 3 courses＋Subject selection evaluation | Form 3 scores and thinking orientation directly affect the feasibility of Extended Modules |
| Form 4, Core begins to feel difficult | DSE compulsory courses | Taught 1 to 2 lessons in advance, and returning to school became the second contact |
| Failed for a long time and couldn’t remember the formulas | Top-up courses | You need to go back to the junior secondary gap first. If you enter the regular class directly, you will never be able to catch up. |
| Form 5Form 6, I know the concepts but my scores cannot go up | DSE courses＋time allocation training | The problem is usually with step completeness and time management, not concepts |
| Target 5**, just a few points short of it | 5** Strategy+Director Tutor Class | Need to deal with extreme question types and completeness of answers |
| Self-taught students or repeat students | DSE courses or One to one | There is no school progress to refer to, so a complete review schedule needs to be established first |
| International school, studying IB Mathematics AA HL | IB Curriculum | AA Paper 1 is not allowed to use computers, and requires additional training on hand calculation fluency. |
| International school, reading IB Mathematics AI | AI page | Emphasis on statistical modelling and GDC functional proficiency |
| Currently studying IGCSE, level undecided | IGCSE courses | Levels directly seal the upper limit of grades and must be evaluated as early as possible |
| Study Edexcel IAL or Cambridge A Level | IAL page | The combination of units/papers will affect the admission requirements, so you need to confirm the combination first. |
| The school-based schedule is special and cannot be coordinated between classes. | One to one Or organize your own class | Can be fully arranged according to the school's schedule and available time slots |
| Live far away or have many extracurricular activities | online courses | Save time on transportation and focus on the key points again |

junior secondary maths tuition class (Form 1 to Form 3)
junior secondary maths tuition It is the foundation upon which the entire senior secondary mathematics is built. Hong Kong's secondary school mathematics curriculum is organized into three learning areas - "Number and Algebra", "Measurement, Shape and Space" and "Data Processing" - and the senior secondary Core follows the same set of areas. In other words, the gap left by the junior secondary will not disappear and will only reappear in a more complex form after Form 4.
Course features
- solidify the foundation: Make sure algebraic operations and geometric reasoning are solid, rather than relying on memorizing steps.
- Keep up with school progress: In line with the teaching progress and school-based examination depth of each Band 1 secondary school.
- preparatory senior secondary: Establish the thinking habits required for senior secondary core in advance.
- rebuild confidence: Through layered exercises, students can regain confidence starting from "can do it".
Topics covered
- Directed numbers, algebraic expressions and algebraic basics
- Linear equations of one variable, simultaneous equations and inequalities
- Factoring and Quadratic Equations
- Introduction to Percents, Ratios, Proportions and Variations
- Congruence and similarity, Pythagorean theorem, quadrature method
- Introduction to Trigonometry (Sine, Cosine, Tangent)
- Coordinate geometry basics
- Basic statistical charts and probability

DSE maths tuition class (Form 4 to Form 6)
DSE maths tuition It is our core course. Core's public examination is divided into two papers: Paper 1 is a traditional question, which must present all calculation steps. The test time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, and the full score is 105 points, accounting for 65% of the subject; Paper 2 is a multiple-choice question, with a total of 45 questions, the test time is 1 hour and 15 minutes, accounting for 35%, and no points will be deducted for wrong answers. The course allocates training time according to this ratio, rather than evenly training.
Three course options
| Courses | content | Exam format | Common study directions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core(Core) | Three learning areas: Numbers and Algebra, Metrics, Figures and Spaces, and Data Processing, with additional advanced learning units | Two papers worth 100% | Compulsory for all DSE candidates |
| Extended Modules M1 | Calculus and Statistics: binomial expansion, exponential and logarithmic, differential and integral applications, binomial/geometric/Poisson/normal distribution, sampling distribution and point estimation, population mean confidence interval | One paper, 2 hours 30 minutes, 100 points | Business, Economics, Social Sciences, Biomedicine |
| Extended Modules M2 | Algebra and Calculus: radicals, mathematical induction, binomial theorem, continued trigonometric functions, number e, limits and calculus, determinants, matrices, systems of linear equations, vectors and scalar products/vector products | One paper, 2 hours 30 minutes, 100 points | Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Actuarial Science, Computer Science |
Course features
- exam oriented: Training is designed according to the actual weighting and question types of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
- Past Paper system exercise: Practice by question type instead of just by year.
- Test taking skills: The elimination and substitution test method of Paper 2, and the step-by-step writing format of the ministerial question of Paper 1-B.
- Limited time simulation: Form 6 stage, the whole paper will be completed within a limited time every week, forming a closed loop of "practice → correction → explanation → redo".

International courses maths tuition class
The difficulty with international courses is often not in mathematics, but in system differences: the same "mathematics subject" has different assessment methods, available tools, and level ceilings under the three systems of IB, Cambridge and Edexcel.
IB Mathematics AA and AI
| Subjects and Levels | Recommended teaching hours | Assessment structure | computer rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics AA — SL | 150 hours | Paper 1 (40%), Paper 2 (40%), IA (20%) | Paper 1 Computer use is not allowed |
| Mathematics AA — HL | 240 hours | Paper 1 (30%), Paper 2 (30%), Paper 3 (20%), IA (20%) | Paper 1 Computer use is not allowed |
| Mathematics AI — SL | 150 hours | Paper 1 (40%), Paper 2 (40%), IA (20%) | All exam papers available at GDC |
| Mathematics AI — HL | 240 hours | Paper 1 (30%), Paper 2 (30%), Paper 3 (20%), IA (20%) | All exam papers available at GDC |
The internal assessment Mathematical Exploration (IA) accounts for 20% of the final grade and is approximately 12 to 20 pages in length. We provide topic evaluation, mathematical in-depth examination, research methods and writing modification suggestions. See details IB Math AA and IB Math AI.
IGCSE Mathematics
- Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics: Divided into two levels: Core and Extended, Extended covers deeper algebra and functions.
- Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics A: Divided into Foundation (levels 5 to 1 are acceptable) and Higher (levels 9 to 4 are acceptable, and level 3 is allowed). The two examination papers are 2 hours each and each accounts for 50%.
- Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics: More in-depth than general IGCSE mathematics, including introduction to calculus, often used as a bridge to A Level.
- Edexcel International GCSE Further Pure Mathematics: Purely numerically oriented, suitable for studying Further Mathematics or IB AA HL in the future.
A-Level and IAL
- Edexcel International A Level: unit system. The full IAL is Pure Mathematics P1 to P4 plus two applied units (you can choose from Mechanics M1, M2, Statistics S1, S2 or Decision Mathematics D1); the IAS is P1, P2 plus one applied unit. The old C1 to C4 have been replaced by P1 to P4.
- Cambridge International AS & A Level: Set up six volumes. The complete A Level must take Paper 1 (Pure Mathematics 1) and Paper 3 (Pure Mathematics 3), and then choose two papers from Paper 4 (Mechanics), Paper 5 (Probability & Statistics 1), and Paper 6 (Probability & Statistics 2). Paper 4 and Paper 6 cannot be selected at the same time.
- Further Mathematics: Those aiming for engineering or mathematics courses at top UK universities usually need additional courses.
Common confusion: Edexcel IAL M1 is Mechanics 1, while DSE’s M1 is "Calculus and Statistics", the two are completely unrelated; S1 of IAL is Statistics 1, which also has no correspondence with DSE Extended Modules. Be sure to specify the examination board when searching for information.
