Programme Overview
At ILLAC, we help children truly understand math, rather than just memorizing formulas. As a trusted provider of primary mathematics tuition, our programme systematically teaches all 12 MOE heuristics while strengthening the executive functions necessary for math success including working memory for multi-step problems, focus for accuracy, and mental flexibility to apply different strategies.
Students gain comprehensive training through our unique blend of heuristic drills that help master all 12 problem-solving methods, cognitive training designed to strengthen math-specific brain skills, and real-world applications that connect concepts to practical situations.
Why ILLAC Maths Stands Out
Heuristic-Focused
Each lesson targets specific problem-solving methods
Cognitive Integration
Builds math-specific working memory and focus
Mistake-Proofing
Teaches students to avoid common errors
Our unique methodology
How We Achieve 2x Faster Results
Executive Function Integration
Each lesson activates memory, focus, and flexible thinking
Character Education
Builds decision-making skills through current affairs discussions
Real-World Application
Practice with everyday situations to understand why math matters
