Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how we can support your child's mathematical journey.
How do your classes differ from traditional tutoring? + −
Myko Education focuses on understanding over memorisation. We use collaborative learning in small groups, EdTech tools, and a curriculum that promotes relational understanding. Rather than rote learning, students develop enduring and transferable skills that prepare them for real-world problem solving.
Do you offer online or in-person classes? + −
Our classrooms are equipped to hold online lessons at live stream standards. We offer hybrid classrooms that seamlessly blend in-person and online learning. Our modern EdTech infrastructure ensures students can participate effectively whether they're physically present or joining remotely, maintaining the same high-quality learning experience.
But, we prefer to see our students in person, so we encourage you to be present for all lessons.
The only exception is that IB lessons are solely online.
What is relational understanding? + −
Relational understanding means students grasp the "why" behind mathematical concepts, not just the "how." They can see connections between ideas, adapt procedures to new situations, and explain their reasoning. This deep understanding is transferable to real-world problem solving.
How do you handle different learning paces? + −
We do it in a two tiered manner. Through your child current level, we will suggest the class that best fits their level. in addition, our authentically differentiated curriculum adapts to each student's needs while maintaining the same learning outcomes. Through small group work, personalised feedback, and varied activities, we ensure every learner is appropriately challenged and supported.
Do you accept students who are behind or struggling? + −
Absolutely. Our clarity-first approach rebuilds foundations and confidence progressively. We do not select students to take in to our centre as we focus on value adding to the students' abilities and competency.
Do you provide homework? + −
Yes. Weekly homework, topic revision tasks and exam-type questions are provided for all students. In addition, we mark and assess students' work in order to know their gaps.
How do you track progress? + −
We do it through a few avenues:
- Ongoing diagnostic checks
- Topic assessments
- Class observations
- Parent consultations upon request
How can I learn more about your programmes? + −
We'd love to discuss how Myko can support your child's mathematical journey. Contact us to schedule an assessment or to learn more about our approach.
What programmes do you offer in Singapore? + −
We offer:
- Primary 1–Primary 6 Mathematics
- Secondary 1–4 Mathematics
- Additional Mathematics
- GCE A-Level H2 Mathematics
- IB Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (HL/SL) – online only
How does the IB programme work for Singapore students? + −
Our IB AA HL/SL classes are conducted online only, and Singapore students attend the same IB sessions as Australia.
This global cohort allows for rich academic discussion and consistent pacing.
How many students are in each class? + −
Our classes have around 5 students and up to 8 students for our master teachers to ensure deep understanding and personalised attention.
Are your teachers experienced in the Singapore curriculum? + −
Yes. Our team includes ex-MOE teachers and highly trained educators with deep expertise in:
- PSLE problem solving
- O-Level rigor
- A-Level exam craft
- IP school requirements
Is IB HL too hard? + −
IB HL is demanding, but with structured practice, clear feedback, and targeted support on proofs and modelling, many students excel. We recommend an early diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and gaps, then create a tailored plan focused on building confidence and mastery.
My child is in the IP stream. Do you support IP learners? + −
Yes. We teach beyond syllabus depth required by IP programmes, including non-routine problem solving.
Do you support high achievers? + −
Yes. We provide extension tasks, Olympiad-style logic training (optional) and accelerated pathways.
What is your payment policy? + −
Payments on a termly basis secure the class placement and are non-refundable.
Classes must be paid by the due date to confirm the reserved slot.
