Young learners · School-synced tutoring
School-synced maths, for international-school years 1–6.
A tutoring course that runs in step with the school term — same year group, same progression, taught from the Envision Mathematics series used at one of Shanghai's benchmark international primary programmes. The aim is unglamorous and important: a solid school result first, with competition thinking grafted on where it fits.
Who it is for
Three kinds of student, one course.
The course serves G1–G6 students in three situations, and the placement test sorts out which teaching plan each needs.
Already at an international school
Keeping school mathematics solid and the term grade stable, with the school's own progression as the spine.
Moving from the state system
Landing the transition: the same content, taught the way an international school will teach and test it.
Heading for competitions
The foundation course under Math Explorer and AMC 8 - because competition thinking built on shaky school maths falls over.
Three kinds of sync
Textbook, teaching and timing all matched.
“Synced” is specific, not a slogan.
Textbook sync
Built on the Envision Mathematics series, with Singapore-style CPA modelling, project- and theme-based tasks, and layered practice that builds daily habits alongside concepts.
Teaching sync
Tutors who have taught across US, UK, Canadian, Australian, Japanese and Singaporean systems, with the expectations of tests like MAP folded into the course design.
Progress sync
Spring and autumn blocks track the school term - 30 hours at two hours a week - while winter and summer blocks run four hours a week and pair with Math Explorer.
Asked before enrolling
The questions parents actually ask.
Can lessons be taught in English?
Yes. Every tutor on the course has studied overseas and has taught students across the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong; fully English-medium teaching is available.
Does the course include competition content?
It runs in step with school and puts the foundation first. Some chapters extend naturally towards competition material, but this is not a competition course — Math Explorer is.
Our school uses a British textbook — does it still fit?
The course teaches from a US series, but the content sequence is compatible with the other national progressions, and individual chapters are adjusted once the class is running.
Do we need to buy materials?
No — teaching materials are provided once the course starts.
Can it prepare for mid-terms and finals?
Staged review and an end-of-term consolidation are built in. Extra exam-targeted revision can be arranged through assistant-led sessions.
Can a student study above their year group?
Yes. Placement follows the test and school record, so a Grade 1 student can join a Grade 2 or higher group where the evidence supports it.
Talk to an advisor
School term steady, competitions when ready.
The placement test settles the year-group question honestly, and the plan follows the school calendar from there.
