Hougang is a well-established residential town where many families want Math tuition that fits around school and is easy to get to. EduReach's Hougang centre is at Midtown, 1187 Upper Serangoon Road, within walking distance of Hougang MRT and Hougang Bus Interchange. It offers Math for both Primary and Secondary students, aligned with the MOE syllabus.

This guide explains where the centre is, what has changed in the Math syllabus at both levels, how EduReach teaches Math, and what to look for when choosing a tuition centre. Our promise guides how we teach: Make Learning Matter.

Where Is EduReach Hougang? Location and How to Get There

Address: Midtown, 1187 Upper Serangoon Road, #01-12, Hougang Central, Singapore 534785

Getting there: walking distance to Hougang MRT (North East Line) and Hougang Bus Interchange

Phone: 6817 6157 WhatsApp: 8979 6136

Being close to both an MRT station and a bus interchange makes the centre practical for different families. Primary students can be dropped off or travel in after school, and secondary students can make their own way to lessons by MRT or bus. Regular attendance is much easier to sustain when travel is simple.

Who We Serve: Hougang and the North East Line

EduReach Hougang is convenient for students from Hougang, Kovan, Serangoon, Sengkang, Punggol, Buangkok and Ang Mo Kio. Hougang MRT is on the North East Line, so students living near any station from Punggol Coast to Farrer Park (up to six stops away) can reach us on a direct train, with no transfer, and walk to the centre. Hougang Bus Interchange is also right beside the MRT station, with bus services from many parts of Singapore.

What Has Changed in the Primary Math Syllabus?

MOE introduced a revised Primary Math syllabus in 2021, starting with Primary 1 and rolling out level by level. The cohort that started Primary 1 in 2021 is the first to sit PSLE Math under the fully revised syllabus in 2026.

Topic changes parents should know

• Speed: removed from the primary syllabus and PSLE. It is now introduced in Secondary 1.
• Average and Ratio: moved from Primary 5 to Primary 6.
• Pie Charts and Nets: now taught in Primary 4.
• Basic algebra: Primary 6 students now work with letters to represent numbers, simple algebraic expressions and simple linear equations.

The changes spread the workload more evenly, especially at Primary 5, and place more weight on reasoning, explaining thinking and using tools such as bar models. Removing Speed does not make the PSLE easier; the emphasis shifts to multi-step, reasoning-based questions.

For the PSLE paper format, including the differences between Standard and Foundation Math, please see our dedicated PSLE Math articles.

Secondary Math: G1, G2 and G3

Since 2024, MOE has replaced the Express, Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) streams with subject-based banding at three levels: G1, G2 and G3. Students can take different subjects at different levels, so a child may take Math at a level that differs from some of their other subjects. EduReach Hougang offers Secondary Math at G1, G2 and G3.

Secondary Math builds on the primary foundation with a strong focus on algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and probability, and on applying Math to real-life situations. Speed, which was removed from the primary syllabus, is introduced in Secondary 1, where students can approach it with algebra.

• Lower Secondary (Sec 1-2): strengthening algebra, geometry and data handling, and making the jump from primary to secondary Math smoother.
• Upper Secondary (Sec 3-4): preparing for the national examinations. Students who take Additional Mathematics also study calculus, which is not part of the core Mathematics syllabus.

Math Programmes at EduReach Hougang

Primary Math

Primary lessons follow the MOE syllabus across three strands:

• Number and Algebra: whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentage, ratio, rate and basic algebra
• Measurement and Geometry: length, mass, volume, time, area, perimeter, angles, 2D and 3D shapes, symmetry and nets
• Statistics: tables, graphs, pie charts, average and data interpretation

In the middle primary years, lessons build number sense, fractions and the use of visual models. In Primary 5 and 6, the focus moves to multi-step problem solving, model-drawing, explaining working, and the question types students will meet in PSLE. We also run Foundation Math classes for Primary 5 and 6, so students preparing for Foundation Math are taught at the right level.

Secondary Math

At Secondary level we teach Math at G1, G2 and G3. Students work on understanding concepts rather than memorising steps, and practise applying them to unfamiliar questions. Lessons follow the school syllabus and the student's Math level, with revision aimed at examinations and at closing gaps that may have carried over from primary.

How We Teach Math: Understanding, Not Memorising

Every lesson should answer one question: why does this matter to the student? Instead of handing over another set of questions, we help students understand why a method works.

• Model-drawing and visual learning: part-whole, comparison and before-and-after models help primary students see what a word problem is asking.
• Step-by-step problem solving: identify what is given and what is required, choose a strategy, break the problem into steps, and check that the answer is reasonable.
• Regular assessment: short quizzes and practice papers show where the gaps are and guide homework and revision.
• Exam technique: time management, careful reading, understanding mark allocation and avoiding careless mistakes.
• Confidence building: we celebrate progress, big or small, because a child who believes they can solve a problem is more willing to try.

Realistic Expectations: How Soon Will You See Improvement?

Math builds on itself, so how quickly a child improves depends on where they start. Students with missing foundations usually need time to close those gaps first. Progress often shows first in confidence and understanding, then in accuracy and speed, and later in test and exam scores.

Results also depend on attendance, effort on homework, school teaching pace and support at home. No tuition centre can guarantee a specific grade, and parents should be cautious of any that do.
