Our Teaching Philosophy


At Real Value Tuition (Burwood), our mission is to not only build high school students’ confidence in mathematics but also guide them to become self-disciplined learners and help them realise their true potential.

Our educators emphasise building a solid mathematics foundation amongst our students and helping them understand the ‘why’ behind each mathematical concept.  In addition, we aim to equip our students with the right behaviours and mindsets that will not only bolster their academic achievements but can also be carried through the rest of their lives.

All too often people believe that you need talent to achieve great things in life. Rather, we believe that through consistent effort and the right guidance, the results achievable will be beyond one’s imagination. Talent is merely a bonus to one’s success.

Perhaps one of the most critical skills to learn during high school is one's ability to balance and prioritise the various tasks at hand. There is often a tug-of-war between the parents and student on their school studies and homework – parents often wish that their child could be a little more self-motivated or disciplined in completing their school-related tasks.

Here is where Real Value Tuition offers our real (true) value. We focus not only on the learning aspect but also on the behavioural element in our teaching. Rather than focusing solely on students' academic achievements, we also emphasise cultivating behaviours that will lead our students to become more self-motivated in life - a benefit that will extend beyond high school and into the rest of their lives.

Perhaps one of the most critical skills to learn during high school is one's ability (without parental supervision) to balance and prioritise the various (school, work, life, etc.) tasks at hand. There is often a tug-of-war between the parent(s) and student on their school studies and homework - parent(s) often wish that their child can be a little more self-motivated or disciplined in completing their school-related tasks.

Our Teaching Methodology


Every student learns differently and at a different speed. Some are visual learners whereas others are better suited to a written medium.

The classes at Real Value Tuition are boutique in size (up to 10 students) so that our educators can adapt their teaching methods to best suit the learning styles of each student.
