Ammiel Wan Academy – Where Mathematical Excellence Begins
Ammiel Wan Academy is one of Singapore's leading specialist Mathematics centres, founded by renowned Mathematics educator Mr Ammiel Wan, the creator of the influential Conceptual Approach to Mathematics used widely in Singapore schools.
With over 50 Mathematics books authored and more than one million copies sold worldwide, Mr Wan has helped transform the teaching and learning of Mathematics across Singapore.
As an MOE-registered specialist Mathematics centre, our academy has achieved an outstanding track record of over 90% distinctions on average for the past decade.
Beyond academic excellence, we have supported more than 80 schools through teacher training and Mathematics curriculum consultancy.
We don't just teach Mathematics. We shape the way pupils think, reason and excel.
The Cognitive Conceptual Approach – Transforming Mathematics Education Since 1999
Developed by Mr Ammiel Wan in 1999 during his tenure with Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE), the Cognitive Conceptual Approach has influenced the way Mathematics problem-solving is taught in schools across Singapore.
Built upon three key components, this innovative approach helps pupils develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, strengthen their reasoning skills and confidently tackle challenging problem sums.
In 2015, Mr Wan introduced Parallel Questioning, a powerful strategy designed to stimulate critical thinking and deepen conceptual understanding. This inspired the acclaimed Visible Thinking in Math series (Primary 1 to 6), which has sold over one million copies worldwide.
Our philosophy is simple: Don't just teach pupils how to solve problems. Teach them how to think.

SCAFFOLDING PSLE CONCEPTS
Unlock the Concepts Behind Challenging PSLE Questions
Drawing on PSLE examination papers from the past decade, this programme helps pupils uncover the core mathematical concepts behind challenging and non-routine questions.
Through carefully structured lessons, pupils learn to:
-
Identify hidden concepts in unfamiliar problem sums.
-
Connect challenging questions to concepts learnt in regular lessons.
-
Apply the same concepts across different contexts and difficulty levels.
-
Recognise the different questioning styles commonly used in PSLE.
Conducted over two modules during the March and June school holidays, this programme equips pupils with the conceptual understanding and flexibility to tackle challenging PSLE questions confidently.
LAST BURST TO PSLE
The Final Push Towards PSLE Excellence
Designed for the crucial final stage of PSLE preparation, this intensive programme features carefully selected non-routine questions from top schools' examinations.
Rather than simply practising more questions, pupils learn to recognise underlying concepts, navigate unfamiliar question formats and apply effective problem-solving strategies.
Strengthen conceptual mastery, sharpen examination skills and approach the PSLE with greater confidence.
ACE YOUR ADD MATH
Master the Concepts. Conquer the Challenges.
Designed for Secondary 4 pupils preparing for their Additional Mathematics examinations, this intensive revision programme goes beyond memorising formulas and methods.
Pupils revisit essential concepts across the two-year syllabus, strengthen their understanding of challenging topics and learn to tackle different examination question types effectively.
Duration: 6 hours over 3 evenings
When: August, before the preliminary examinations
Mode: Online or onsite
Build confidence, avoid common pitfalls and aim for that A1 in Additional Mathematics.
ACE YOUR E MATH
Four Years of Mathematics. One Focused Revision Programme.
This intensive programme consolidates the essential concepts taught throughout the four-year Elementary Mathematics syllabus.
Through targeted revision and carefully selected examination questions, pupils strengthen their conceptual understanding, sharpen their problem-solving skills and become more confident in handling unfamiliar questions.
Duration: 4 hours over 2 evenings
When: August or September
Mode: Online or onsite
Revise strategically, strengthen your foundations and aim for that A1 in Elementary Mathematics.
