SECONDARY MATHEMATICS INTENSIVE PROGRAMMES
For Secondary students who have been busy during the school term, the holidays may be the only time to catch up on learning gaps.
Cognitus Academy has designed Mathematics holiday programmes to cater to two main groups of students.
To revised and reinforce, students can attend the Level Up Programmes.
To stretch and achieve, students can attend the Power Up Programmes.

About the Secondary Maths Level Up Programme
The main challenge students struggle with at the start of a new Academic Year is having to learn new topics while trying to grasp old concepts taught in the previous year. This could lead to a snowball effect and result in students falling off the proverbial cliff by the end of year exams.
With the school holidays approaching, now is the ideal time for struggling students to consolidate their areas of need and level up.
Cognitus Academy is pleased to launch a series of intensive and effective Secondary Maths Level Up Programmes for current Sec 1 to Sec 4 students.

Mr Stewart Teng
Head of Mathematics Curriculum
Biography
As an experienced Mathematics educator of more than 20 years, Mr Teng has coached hundreds of Primary and Secondary students towards scoring distinctions for their Maths exams.
It is no surprise that students who apply his methods consistently score distinctions in their Maths exams. In fact, his students’ distinction rates of 88% for PSLE students and 80% for O Level students are way above national averages.
Our Teaching Team
Cognitus Academy takes pride in helping our students achieve breakthroughs in their results.
We are able to do that because of the strong team that we have built to teach, organise and administer our robust Mathematics programmes.
Having been a teacher trainer at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Dr Daniel Chua has not only crafted a solid curriculum for our students, but also an effective training programme for our teachers.
At Cognitus Academy, teachers form the foundation of our Mathematics programmes. Prospective teachers are screened meticulously and undergo a rigorous 3-month training programme to develop core competencies of a teacher. Teaching interns also develop academic and philosophical roots in their pedagogy by studying the relevant materials in-depth and observing senior teachers in action before they enter the classrooms to teach.
After the completion of formal training, new teachers will continue to go through robust training and meet regularly to sharpen their problem-solving skills, explore innovative and effective curriculum for students, and refine teaching methods to enhance the students' mastery of the subject.
Our curriculum and pedagogy are continuously refined and updated in accordance with the changes in the education system by our curriculum team comprising of ex-MOE teachers, Heads of Department, Senior Teachers, PSLE markers and experienced Cognitus teachers.
Here’s what students say after they have attended ourSecondary Mathematics Intensive Workshops
