The 10 IP Maths tuition centres compared

Our hourly figure divides the published fee by the published lesson hours, leaving out GST, deposits and registration unless the table says otherwise.

Our own service: a private IP Maths tutor

Below is what The Singapore Syllabus itself offers IP families, kept apart from the ten centres and not ranked against them.

See our IP Maths tuition page, the wider IP tuition page and our pricing.

How we chose these centres

Searches for IP Maths turn up many centres that list "IP" beside every level without saying anything else. We kept a centre only if its own site passed these checks.

Three names from other IP Maths lists are missing. One has no working website, and two multi-subject chains already appear in our IP tuition centres guide, which covers English and Science as well. Tim Gan Math is the only one here to print a separate fee for every IP year. Orion and Tim Gan Math both list the IP schools their students come from.

The 10 centres in detail

Eipi Math

A single-tutor centre run by Mr Luo Xingqun, an SMU economics and actuarial science graduate with First Class Honours, teaching IB Maths since 2014.

• Suits: a student at ACS (Independent), Methodist Girls' or St. Joseph's Institution heading into IB Maths, or anyone who wants one teacher from IP into JC.
• May not suit: a family looking for the lowest fee, since S$60 an hour is the top of the published group rates here.

IP Maths is offered in three flavours, depending on whether the school leads to the A-Level, the IB Diploma or the NUS High School Diploma. He also teaches H2 and H1 Maths and all four IB Maths courses, so a student can stay with the same tutor from Year 1 to Year 6.

Fees as published: IP Maths sits in the same column as IB HL and A-Level. A 13-lesson term of 26 hours is S$1,560 in a group or S$5,200 one-to-one. Registration, deposit and trial terms are not on the page.

Branch: Beauty World Centre #03-27A, at Beauty World MRT Exit A. Lessons also run on Zoom.

Orion

Mr Anthony Lee leads the IP Maths programme and has more than 20 years of teaching IP Maths, H2 Maths and H2 Physics.

• Suits: an IP3 or IP4 student who wants the same centre and teacher to carry on into H2.
• May not suit: a Year 1 or Year 2 student who wants a group, as those years are one-to-one only.

IP1 and IP2 are taught one-to-one, IP3 and IP4 in groups averaging 8, and IP5 and IP6 students move straight into Orion's H2 Maths classes. The page names RGS, RI, Hwa Chong, Nanyang Girls', NJC, Temasek JC and CHIJ St. Nicholas among its students' schools, and flags logarithms, trigonometry and early calculus as the topics IP students find hardest.

Fees as published:

• Group IP3 and IP4 classes cost S$360 for a month of 4 lessons, with GST absorbed and nothing held as a deposit.
• Lesson length is missing from the IP page, which is why our table shows no hourly figure.

• Between April and October, IP newcomers buy three trial lessons for S$270, and the fee is waived if they do not enrol.

Branches: Blk 190 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh #04-508, near Toa Payoh MRT. Blk 101 Yishun Avenue 5 #02-95, Chong Pang. Classes can be joined online. The 2027 vacancies listed are IP3 on Friday at 5pm and IP4 on Friday at 7pm in Toa Payoh, and IP4 on Sunday at 10am in Yishun.

The IP Maths page talks about non-routine questions and names calculus, vectors, complex numbers, matrices, probability and trigonometry. Parts of the page still carry template text where the year levels and schools should be.

Fees as published: Not published. Lesson length "may vary by level and branch". Trial and registration terms are not stated.

Branches: 201D Tampines Street 21 #03-1153 (near Tampines East MRT). 806 Hougang Central #03-154 (near Hougang MRT). 18 Jalan Membina #04-05 (near Tiong Bahru MRT). The site says only that the centres are near MRT stations, so confirm the station before you go.

• May not suit: a student who wants a class only for IP pupils or only for one school.

Lessons are 2 hours, on site or live on Zoom, with in-house notes, WhatsApp help, script reviews and same-week make-up classes. Its 2026 timetable lists Sec 1 to Sec 4 slots but no class labelled IP, so IP students appear to join the secondary groups.

Fees as published: The IP Maths page says S$75 for a 2-hour lesson, billed monthly and prorated for mid-month joiners. The timetable page gives S$320 for 4 lessons for Sec 3 and Sec 4, which is S$80 a lesson, so confirm which applies. A 2-hour trial is offered at no charge. No registration fee is mentioned.

A premium chain whose Year 3 programme page has its own Integrated Programme section, and whose fee page groups IP, IB and O-Level secondary students together.

• Suits: a family that values mall locations and a structured term programme across several subjects.
• May not suit: a family after a dedicated IP Maths class or a low fee, as this is the highest per-lesson price on the list.

How IP Maths differs from the SEC track

MOE calls the IP a 6-year course whose certificate "varies across schools": the A-Level, the IB Diploma or the NUS High School Diploma. Its students "do not need to take" the national exam at the end of Sec 4. From 2027 that exam is the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC), which replaces the O-Level. Our SEC explainer covers the change for other students.

Each IP school sets its own syllabus. MOE describes every IP as "unique", so a centre's IP Maths class can only match your child's school if it groups students by school or works from their school notes. That is why the questions at each centre above ask how the class handles different schools.

Promotion in Year 4 is a school decision. At Victoria School, for example, IP students need a grade point average of 3.0 or better to move up from Years 2, 3 and 4, and the GPA always includes one Mathematics. The Year 4 end-of-year exam is worth 70% of the year's result, and a GPA of 3.2 is needed to take four H2 subjects at Victoria JC. Other schools publish their own rules, so read your child's school handbook.

If IP is not working out.

• MOE says about 200 students a year, around 5% of each cohort, left the IP before finishing Year 4, most moving to the SEC track and many before the end of Year 3.
• Most IP schools also run SEC classes, and receiving schools give academic bridging.
• A student who moves would then sit SEC Mathematics, so the gap to check is any national syllabus topic the school skipped.
• Our IP vs O-Level pathway guide sets out that choice.

The 17 IP schools

Thirteen schools lead to the A-Level, three to the IB Diploma and one to the NUS High Diploma. Cut-off points, partner JCs and the Sec 3 entry route are in our list of IP schools.

The Year 4 to H2 Maths bridge

For the 13 A-Level schools, Year 5 means H2 Mathematics, syllabus 9758. SEAB's 2027 syllabus lists its assumed knowledge as content from O-Level Additional Mathematics. An IP student never sits that exam, so whatever the school taught in Years 3 and 4 has to cover the same ground.

The H2 exam is two 3-hour papers of 100 marks each. Paper 1 is all Pure Mathematics, with 10 to 12 questions. Paper 2 has 40 marks of Pure and 60 of Probability and Statistics. An approved graphing calculator is expected and a formula list is supplied. SEAB weights the marks 30% for using techniques, 60% for formulating and solving problems and 10% for reasoning and communicating.

Strategy for the A-Level papers is in how to score a distinction in H2 Maths, and JC-level centres are compared in our H2 Maths tuition centres guide. IB-track IP students at ACS (Independent), Methodist Girls' and St. Joseph's move to IB Maths instead.

Centre, home tutor or online?

The cheapest published IP hours here are at Studious Minds and Tim Gan Math. A private tutor costs more per hour at the top end but works only on your child's school.

A worked example for a Year 3 student. A full 2027 year at Tim Gan Math, Terms 1 to 4 without the June block, is 34 lessons for S$3,060, or S$45 an hour. A full-time home tutor from our card at S$45 to S$65 an hour, for 34 weekly 90-minute visits, comes to S$2,295 to S$3,315. Many families keep a centre class and add a few home lessons before the Year 4 end-of-year exam.
