Year-End Headstart 2026 · Sec 3 going to Sec 4 · 13 and 16 Nov

Sec 3 to Sec 4 Math Headstart

Two days. The Sec 3 work Sec 4 assumes. One marked paper.

In Sec 4 the class moves on to new chapters and then to O-Level revision, and the Sec 3 topics are assumed. The November holiday is a good time to check those topics are solid, with a marked paper to show which ones are not.

Day 1: the Sec 3 topics Sec 4 builds on. Day 2: one Sec 4 topic ahead of the class, then a paper marked the same afternoon, handed back with the tutor's written notes. Taught by Mrs Eileen Toh and Ms GX Tan, who teaches our Sec 4 E Math and A Math classes. The topic list is confirmed closer to the date.

Why Sec 3 to Sec 4

Sec 4 moves on quickly. Start it knowing where the Sec 3 gaps are.

In Sec 4 the class moves on to new chapters and then to O-Level revision, and the Sec 3 topics are assumed. The November holiday is the time to check them.

Day 1 works the Sec 3 topics Sec 4 builds on, at Sec 4 standard. Day 2 opens one Sec 4 topic so the first chapter of the year is already familiar, then a paper marked the same afternoon tells you, question by question, where your child stands going into the O-Level year. The detailed topic list is confirmed closer to the date and sent to registered families.

Day 1

Three Sec 3 topics Sec 4 builds on (confirmed closer to the date).

Day 2 morning

One Sec 4 topic, taught before the class reaches it.

Day 2 afternoon

A paper on the two days' work, marked the same afternoon, handed back with the tutor's notes.

Day by day

By the end of Day 2, here is what your child will have done.

The programme follows Genius Plus lesson codes 9D11 to 9D15, taught from our own in-house Sec 3 and Sec 4 materials. The detailed topic list for this run is confirmed closer to the date and sent to registered families.

Day 1 · Fri 13 Nov · 10am to 3pm

The Sec 3 topics Sec 4 builds on.

  • 9D11, 9D12, 9D13: three Sec 3 topics, confirmed closer to the date. Each is worked at Sec 4 standard, with the method choice and the presentation school markers expect.

Day 2 · Mon 16 Nov · 10am to 3pm

One Sec 4 topic, then the paper.

  • 9D14: one Sec 4 headstart topic, confirmed closer to the date.
  • 9D15 Assessment and review: a paper on the two days' work, marked the same afternoon, then the tutor goes through every question with the class. Your child brings home the marked paper and the tutor's written notes.

By the end of Day 2 your child will have worked the Sec 3 topics Sec 4 builds on at Sec 4 standard, met one Sec 4 topic, and sat a marked paper on all of it.

What you get back

You will see which questions your child got wrong, and why.

On the afternoon of Day 2 your child sits a paper on the two days' work. The tutor marks it the same afternoon. Your child brings home the marked paper and the tutor's written notes. The progress consult follows after the camp.

Your child's marked paper

Marked the same afternoon, so you can see the working for each question and where the marks went.

The tutor's written notes

The tutor writes down which question types your child can now do on their own, and one or two things to practise before Sec 4.

A 30-minute progress consult

After the camp we sit down with you and go through the gaps and strengths we saw over the two days, where your child stands going into Sec 4, and what to focus on in Term 1.

A school test tells you how many marks went. This tells you which ones, and why.

Who it suits

For Sec 3 parents who want to know where the Sec 3 gaps are before Sec 4 starts.

This camp is meant for the Sec 3 student whose end-of-year results show some Sec 3 chapters are not secure yet. If your child is already secure across Sec 3, our weekly Sec 4 class is the better fit, and we will tell you so if you ask.

The camp is a good fit if you:

  • want the Sec 3 gaps found and worked on before Sec 4 starts;
  • want to see the actual marked paper and hear from the tutor where the marks are going;
  • want your child to meet one Sec 4 topic before the class does;
  • are new to Genius Plus and want to see how we teach upper secondary math.

Not sure? Send us your child's most recent Sec 3 Math paper on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether this camp fits.

A word from Mrs Toh

"You plan for success. You do not wish for it."

One of my boys came home with 20 out of 30 for his Math weighted assessment and told me full marks was too far away for him. So I asked him: how far is 20 from 30? Very far, he said. Can you improve by one mark a day? Yes, he said, one mark is doable. Then how many days to 30? He thought about it. Ten.

Real life is harder than ten days, of course. But that is how I think about a child and Math. Our job as parents is not to panic. It is to find out which marks are going, fix one thing at a time, and let the small wins add up.

That is what these two days are for. Ms GX Tan and I teach one, guide one, then let them try one, on the Sec 3 work Sec 4 assumes. On Day 2 your child meets one Sec 4 topic and sits a paper that we mark that afternoon. You go home knowing which marks are going and why, and where to start.

In parents' words

What parents tell us.

"My eldest son improved from F9 to B4, and my second son went from D7 to A1 during his O level prelim. The results speak for themselves."
A parent of two GPA students, shared with us
"The tutors understand exactly where my child is lacking. Their teaching approach has instilled confidence and built a very strong foundation in Mathematics."
A parent of a GPA student, shared with us
"After trying a few centers, the difference here is that she comes receptive and open to extra lessons and camps. Since she's been here, I've seen her grades improve significantly."

Questions parents ask

When does the Sec 3 to Sec 4 Headstart run?

Friday 13 and Monday 16 November 2026, 10am to 3pm on both days.

Where is it held?

The venue is being confirmed and will be sent to registered families on WhatsApp. Zoom is available at the same fee.

What does it cost, and what is the early bird?

S$380 for both days, including lunch, the workbook and materials, the Day 2 paper marked the same afternoon, the tutor's written notes and the 30-minute progress consult. The first 15 registrants also get the 1-on-1 follow-up session (U/P S$200) and the Sec 4 resource bundle (U/P S$60).

What exactly is covered?

The Sec 3 topics Sec 4 builds on, one Sec 4 topic as a headstart, then the paper and review. The detailed topic list is confirmed closer to the date and sent to registered families. Lesson codes 9D11 to 9D15.

Who teaches it?

Mrs Eileen Toh and Ms GX Tan, who teaches our Sec 4 E Math and A Math classes.

Is it E Math, A Math or both?

The topic list, including whether the camp covers E Math only or E Math and A Math, is confirmed closer to the date and sent to registered families. Tell us your child's subjects and stream (G2, G3 or IP) on the form, and WhatsApp admin if you want to check before paying.

Is it suitable if my child is not a Genius Plus student?

Yes. The camp is self-contained and follows the MOE Sec 3 and Sec 4 syllabus. No prior lessons with us are needed.

What if the run is full?

Seats are confirmed in order of registration. If the run is full by the time your form comes in, admin will tell you on WhatsApp and offer a Zoom seat.

How do I pay?

Register on the form. The confirmation page shows PayNow details (UEN and the fee) with your child's full name as the reference. Prefer card? WhatsApp admin for a secure payment link.

My child is a current GPA weekly student. Do we need to register?

No. Current weekly students are already in the Headstart as part of their term programme. No registration or payment needed; admin will WhatsApp you to confirm your child's run.

10am to 3pm is a long day. Is there a lunch break?

Yes. Lunch is provided, and there are short breaks between topics. Tell us on WhatsApp if your child has allergies or dietary needs, or send a packed lunch instead. The pace changes through the day: teaching, then guided practice, then trying it alone.

Can my child join on Zoom?

Yes. The camp is available live on Zoom, with the same materials and the same fee. Zoom participants sit the Day 2 paper at home during the session and send it to the tutor, who marks it the same afternoon.

What is the 1-on-1 follow-up session?

An early-bird extra (for the first 15 registrants): a 30 to 60 minute session with the tutor after the camp, at the centre or on Zoom at one of the time slots admin offers, to go through your child's marked paper and decide what to work on in Term 1.

After the camp

If the tutor's notes point to a gap, our weekly class carries on from there.

Our weekly Sec 4 E Math and A Math classes use the same curriculum, so your child continues from where the camp left off. The first lesson is a free trial.
