Our objective is to address the difficulties commonly faced by O-Level students in Additional Mathematics. Our lessons are well-structured and delivered systematically to meet the learning needs of the students.
Additonal Mathematics Classes For 2025 Have Started.
Course Framework
Our Additional Mathematics programme is structured to support students across both Sec 3 and Sec 4, with progressive lessons that build conceptual mastery and exam readiness. Weekly classes follow the school syllabus closely and are reinforced with revision cycles, topical drills, and mock exam papers in the lead-up to O-Levels.

Our 4-Pronged Approach
1. Weekly Lectures
Lectures are conducted by head-tutor Mr Alvin Yeo on a weekly basis to an average class size of 10 students. We prepare lecture notes for each day that come with clear step-by- step worked examples and tips on tackling important questions. Lectures are also recorded on Zoom so that students have a video copy of all lessons.
2. Tutorial Questions
Students will be given tutorial questions at the end of each lecture as homework. These practice exercises help to ensure students fully grasp the concepts of topics covered and able to confidently apply them during their examinations. All homework will be thoroughly reviewed by the tutor in the following week.
3. Topical Tests
A topical test is conducted each time a chapter has been completed. This provides a clear assessment of the student’s proficiency in the topic. Students can request for a re-test should they fail the first attempt or simply book a consultation slot with Mr Yeo if they need further help in a topic.
4. Free Consultations

Our Track Record
Students Achieving an A in A-Level H2 Math
The ASTRO Program (O-Level)
The ASTRO Programme started out as an experimental and free Mathematics program in The Annexe Project in 2008 when Mr Alvin Yeo wanted to improve the results of three of his Secondary Three students Marcus Puey (Xinmin Secondary), Nicholas Yeo (Geylang Methodist Secondary) and Andrew Tan (Maris Stella High) who were struggling with their Additional Mathematics prior to the O-levels.
After committing an entire year to the programme, each of the three boys eventually scored an A1 for their O-Levels examination.
The key to scoring, particularly in Mathematics, is practice, practice and… practice. Mr Alvin Yeo highly regards the importance of doing mathematic problems repeatedly within a given time frame because it helps to build momentum, confidence and trains each individual to manage time wisely. The ASTRO Program helps students to achieve academic excellence and reach the goals they have set for themselves with a simple 5-step approach.
Preparing our students for the O-Level Additional Mathematics Exam
Phase I: Lectures
By attending the weekly lectures conducted by Mr Yeo, students will become adept in applying concepts required by the respective topics in the syllabus. Following The Annexe Project’s 4-pronged approach, students will attain an intimate understanding of the topics, building momentum and confidence as the ‘A’-Levels approaches. Mr Yeo usually completes the syllabus by June of the JC 2 year, whereupon Phase II will begin.
Phase II: ‘Spotting’
This revision crash course is an intensive 4-month period designed to prepare our students for the upcoming national examination. Mr Yeo revises the concepts of every topic in the H2 Mathematics syllabus with his students using the revision package notes that he has created for each topic. In each set of notes, Mr Yeo will recap formulae and concepts for all topics. By closely scrutinising current trends, he also ‘spots’ two to three types of questions that may appear in the A-Level paper and compiles about five questions for each case type. These questions will be completed during class, which ends with a 15-minute quiz where students will be able to put into practice what they have just revised during the lecture.
Phase III: Mock Examinations
The preparation for ‘A’-Levels H2 Mathematics ends with mock examinations set by Mr Yeo. There will be a total of two papers, to simulate the ‘A’-Levels. It is usually conducted three or four weeks before the national exams so students can have a better sense of their readiness for the actual papers. During this last crucial period, consultation slots will be fully open for the weaker students to receive all the final help they can get from Mr Yeo before their big day.
The Astro Programme
The key to scoring in examinations (for Mathematics in particular) is practice, practice and… more practice. Mr Yeo recognises the importance of doing Mathematics problems repeatedly within a specific time frame because it helps to build confidence and trains each individual to manage their time wisely. The Astro Program is an additional programme that existing students can opt to enrol in during the last six months prior to the ‘A’-Levels. Students will have to complete a full 3 hour paper each week and mark their own scripts with the solutions provided. Then, they will attend the consultation lesson with the tutor who will go through questions selected by the students themselves. After consultation, the tutor will collect the answer scripts for marking and grading. This programme aims to allow students to acclimatise to the mental rigour of completing a 3 hour paper and be fully-seasoned pros by the time of the actual examination.
