At Integral Learning Academy, we let our students attempt various types of questions, expanding their capacity to explore cause-and-effect relationships, real-world applications and more.
Igniting Passion
The pathway to good grades does not have to be dreary. While most maths students grow up developing a disdain for the subject due to burnout, the overwhelming curriculum, as well as the stress of dealing with daunting national examinations, the students at Integral Learning Academy approach these situations with ease, having found an authentic curiosity for and a broad and deep understanding of mathematics and their most complex concepts. Our experienced tutors can impart not only knowledge but also wisdom and personal anecdotes that can inspire and captivate students with focused attention, even with our short but compact class time. This is where our dedicated teachers’ passion in teaching really cuts through, making the learning journey a truly joyful experience.
Why Is Your Child Not Performing Well in Math?
Mathematics is one of the most essential and useful subjects that are taught in schools. However, many kids develop an aversion towards it as they grow older. This often stems from a lack of interest or motivation, but it can also be attributed to the difficulty level of maths problems increasing over time. Many young students struggle with math because their foundations are not strong enough. Therefore, if they don’t work on building their skills and knowledge now, it will only become more challenging for them later on.
Apart from it being a compulsory subject, one significant reason why children should focus on building a robust foundation in maths is because it affects other subjects as well. Physics and chemistry, in particular, depend heavily upon mathematical concepts, formulae and equations. If a student does not have a firm grasp on these concepts and how to apply them correctly, they are bound to struggle with these sciences too. Furthermore, poor performance in mathematics can also affect one’s self-esteem and confidence levels, which could lead to a negative attitude towards academics as a whole. Therefore, parents must encourage their children to pay attention to maths early on so that later years’ academic performances can remain stable or even improve over time.
