Systematic. Comprehensive. Evidence-Based.

Return to Genius programs draw extensively from the Singaporean model for teaching mathematics, known for producing some of the world’s top-performing math students. We apply these methods while ensuring full alignment with your child’s local curriculum. Our coaches are experienced in both Singaporean teaching methods and the curriculum standards in your child’s school, allowing us to bring the benefits of Singaporean math education to students all over the world.

Key Features of Our Method

  • Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) Progression
     Students are introduced to mathematical ideas through familiar, tangible examples from everyday life. This supports understanding when we move to visual representations, such as diagrams, and finally to abstract symbols and formal notation. This progression reduces reliance on memorisation and builds deep conceptual understanding.

  • Early Development of Problem-Solving Skills
     Students learn structured problem-solving strategies from a young age. This includes mathematical modelling, heuristics for tackling unfamiliar problems, and systematic approaches to applying prior knowledge to new situations.

  • Alignment with Local Curriculum
     Our programs follow the structure and content requirements of your local curriculum. Students are prepared for school assessments and expectations while benefiting from the additional depth, structure, and rigour drawn from international best practices.

The Return to Genius Framework:
Building Skill and Confidence Together

We recognise that academic success depends not only on technical skills but also on a student’s confidence, motivation, and mindset. That’s why our method incorporates the Triangle of Motivation, a core part of our Return to Genius Framework. This focuses on:

  • Connection: Building trusting relationships and emotional safety

  • Confidence: Developing self-belief through achievable progress

  • Challenge: Providing meaningful, appropriately difficult tasks

We combine this with our Triangle of Mastery, focusing on:

  • Conceptual Understanding: Deep understanding through conceptual exploration - no rote learning

  • Fluency: Skill mastery through explicit instruction

  • Problem Solving: Combining strong conceptual understanding with skill mastery, through our Singaporean math instructional methodologies, to equip students to solve complex problems

Our method is systematic, research-informed, and developmentally appropriate. Our comprehensive, structured, and supportive learning environment that allows students to build both competence and confidence.
