Odyssey Math Tuition Releases Complimentary Singapore Parent's Guide to FSBB, PSLE AL Grading, and the SEC Exam — and Expands Online Math Tuition with Standalone E-Learning Courses

Jun 3, 2026

Odyssey Math Tuition, a math tuition centre in Eunos, Singapore, has released a complimentary parent's guide to FSBB, PSLE AL grading, and the SEC examination, and expanded its online math tuition through standalone e-learning courses for Secondary 1 to JC levels.

Singapore, June 3, 2026 -- SINGAPORE — Odyssey Math Tuition, a provider of math tuition in Singapore located in Eunos, has released a complimentary parent's guide to Singapore's math education system and expanded its online math tuition through standalone e-learning courses.

The new resource, A Parent's Guide to Singapore's Math Education System, is now available at no cost on the tuition centre's website. The guide documents three areas of Singapore's restructured secondary education system: the Ministry of Education's Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB), which replaced the Express, Normal (Academic), and Normal (Technical) streams with G1, G2, and G3 subject levels; the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC), which replaces the GCE O-Level and N-Level with a first examination cohort in 2027; and the PSLE Achievement Level system, which reports primary results in bands from AL1 to AL8. The guide also sets out how a student's secondary mathematics level relates to Additional Mathematics and, subsequently, to H2 math tuition at the junior college level.

Alongside the guide, Odyssey Math Tuition has made its online math e-learning courses available as a standalone option covering Secondary 1 through Junior College H2 Mathematics. The courses include video lessons mapped to the MOE syllabus, practice sets, and an AI math tutor that answers student questions outside class hours. They can be accessed without enrolment in weekly onsite classes.

The centre operates from 160 Changi Road in Eunos, in eastern Singapore. Its location places it within reach of families seeking math tuition in Eunos and the neighbouring areas of Bedok, Kembangan, Paya Lebar, and Geylang, all served by the East-West MRT line. The onsite small-group classes and the online courses both follow the same teaching approach, and the centre serves students across primary, secondary, and junior college levels from this single location.

Odyssey Math Tuition was founded in 2013 by Justin Tan, a National University of Singapore Mathematics graduate with Distinction. The centre provides primary school math tuition, secondary school math tuition spanning Elementary Mathematics and Additional Mathematics, and junior college H1 and H2 Mathematics tuition, alongside its standalone online learning courses. Students enrol from Primary 3 through Junior College 2.

The guide additionally documents the Sec 1 Posting Group system that replaced secondary school streaming, the mapping between the former Express, Normal (Academic), and Normal (Technical) standards and the new G3, G2, and G1 subject levels, and the timeline for the SEC examination, whose first cohort sits the papers in 2027 with results in January 2028. It notes the relationship between Additional Mathematics at the secondary level and H2 Mathematics at junior college, the latter being a common requirement for university courses in engineering, computing, the sciences, and economics. These sections are presented as a factual reference for parents tracking the changes to Singapore's secondary and pre-university mathematics pathways.

The complimentary guide and full details of the online math e-learning courses are available on the Odyssey Math Tuition website. Complimentary trial classes are offered to new students, and enquiries can be made through the centre's website or by WhatsApp.

Inside the Singapore Parent's Guide to Singapore's Math Education System

The guide is a structured reference covering the restructuring of Singapore's secondary education and the role mathematics plays within it. Authored by Justin Tan, founder of the math tuition centre Odyssey Math Tuition, it runs across nine sections and documents the system as it stands for the 2026 academic year.

It opens by explaining why streaming was retired: the Express, Normal (Academic), and Normal (Technical) streams were replaced by Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB), under which students take each subject at one of three levels — G1, G2, or G3 — mapped from the former Normal (Technical), Normal (Academic), and Express standards. A dedicated section examines what these levels mean for mathematics specifically, since the mathematics level a student takes determines later access to Additional Mathematics and to H2 Mathematics at junior college.

The guide then sets out the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC), the unified leaving examination that replaces the GCE O-Level and N-Level from the 2027 cohort, including its grading scales and the bodies that co-certify it. A further section explains PSLE Achievement Level grading, the AL1-to-AL8 bands, and how PSLE totals map to secondary Posting Groups. The guide includes a table linking each PSLE Mathematics AL to the mathematics level a student is initially offered.

Two later sections trace how mathematics performance gates the pathway from Primary 6 through to A-Level, and outline what is relevant at each stage from Primary 1 to Junior College 2. An extensive FAQ answers common questions on FSBB, the SEC, PSLE scoring, and subject eligibility.

The reference reflects the math tuition centre's stated aim of helping families understand the changes accurately. It is maintained as a math tuition resource and reviewed regularly to reflect current MOE policy.

Nouri earns IM title after placing 3rd at 7th Asean chessfest

SINACABAN, Misamis Occidental —Thirteen years ago Alekhine Nouri becoming the country's youngest FIDE Master. However, making the next step of earning the International Master (IM) title has eluded the now 20-year-old Nouri. But on Sunday, at the 7th ASsean Individual Chess Championships at the AMORAP Adventure Park here, Nouri became an instant IM after placing third in the men's open division. "Nabigla ako. I was only expecting to earn FIDE ratings. My happiness is overwhelming for this feat," Nouri told the Manila Times after securing an outright IM title. After defeating compatriot IM Michael Concio Jr in the ninth and final round on Sunday night, Nouri found himself tied with five foreign rivals with 6 points. Luckily, Nouri clinched third place after the tiebreak was applied. "Hindi pa rin ako maka paniwala. Swerte rin mga highest rated lalo na sa foreigner ang mga naka tunggali ko kaya't pomabor sa atin ang tiebreaker," added Nouri. On the top board in the final round, IM Shrivatri Anuj of India defeated IM James Morris of Australia (5.5 points) to up his total to 7 points, enough to win the men's title that paved the way for him to become the 100th grandmaster in India. Shrivatri was the second Indian to claim the direct GM title at stake in the Governor Henry Oaminal-bankrolled tourney after his then IM compatriot V.S. Raahul did it during the 6th ASEAN meet here last year. Indonesia's Satria Duta Cahaya (5.5 pts) tried to scuttle the strong Vietnamese GM Nguyen Duc Hoa on board 2 tiff but could only settle for a draw after a lengthy struggle. Cahaya's female counterpart WIM Shafira Devi Herfesa could not be denied, however, of the crowning glory as she delivered a monster show in the cash-rich tourney organized by Arena Grandmaster Rey Urbiztondo and supervised by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines headed by GM Jayson Gonzales and International Arbiter Reden Cruz. Already obtaining the women's throne and the Woman Grandmaster title via an untouchable 7-point output with a round to spare, the 18-year-old Indon sensation never tested as she remains on fire in her final round battle. Playing black against Woman FIDE Master Shania Mae Mendoza of the host country, Herfesa looked like in the receiving end in the opening phase but her resourcefulness slowly changed the complexion of the game. In a complicated middle game, Herfesa found a way to build momentum with her more active pieces that led to a blazing assault and Mendoza's resignation in the face of an inevitable mating net. Early leader WIM Marie Antoinette San Diego of the Philippines (5.5 pts) lost steam in the final half of the nine-round hostilities, and yielded in the final round against the Russian IM and last year's ruler Evgenija Ovod of the Federation (5 pts). WIM Ruelle Canino, 18, from Cagayan de Oro City, who finished second here last year, also fell in her final round bout with fellow 5-pointer Woman Grandmaster Nguyen Thi Mai Hung of Vietnam. The top10 players in the men's are IM Shrivatri of India (7 pts), GM Duc Hoa (6.5 pts), FM Nouri (6 pts) , IM Viani (6 pts), IM Nguyen Quoc Hy (6 pts) IM Cahaya (6 pts), IM Ameya Audi of India (6 pts), IM Parang Ritviz of India (6 pts), IM Bala Chandra Prasad Dhulipalla of India (5.5 pts) and IM Morris (5.5 pts). In the women's section are WIM Herfesa, WIM Bordoloi Pratitee, WGM Nguyen Thi Mai Hung, IM Ovod, WIM San Diego, WFM Shree Reddy Keerti, WIM Nguyen Hong Anh, WGM Janelle Mae Frayna and WFM Jemaicah Yap Mendoza.
