The Secondary 3 A-Math online math course from Odyssey Math Tuition covers the year topic by topic, with recorded video lessons, a question bank, topical practice and topical tests. It is available 24 hours a day with unlimited replays, carries a 7-day money-back guarantee, and published prices start at $146.
A-Math in Secondary 3 feels like a different subject rather than a harder version of the one before it. Questions describe functions and relationships rather than situations, and fluency from lower secondary is assumed rather than revisited.
What the Secondary 3 A-Math course covers
Surds, indices, polynomials and the binomial theorem arrive early and are load-bearing for everything that follows, including calculus. The topics in the course are:
- Simultaneous Linear and Non-Linear Equations
- Circles
- Trigonometric Functions
- Quadratic Equations and Inequalities
- Surds and Indices
- Logarithmic and Exponential Functions
- Polynomials
- Partial Fractions
- Binomial Theorem
- Coordinate Geometry
- Linear Law
Every topic follows the same shape: an explanation, then topical practice, then a topical test. The order is yours — a student revising one weak area can go straight to it without working through the rest.
The course also carries past-year school examination papers — 11 of them at this level — drawn from Singapore secondary school papers across recent years, with worked answers recorded alongside.
What is inside each topic
- Recorded video lessons explaining the concept, replayable without limit
- A question bank with answers recorded and worked through, not just final answers printed
- Topical practice to build fluency once the idea makes sense
- A topical test to check whether it actually holds under time
- Exam tips drawn from the patterns we see repeatedly in our own classes
Every lesson and every question-bank answer is recorded personally by our founder, Mr. Justin Tan. The course follows our own curriculum, aligned to the MOE syllabus.
How students actually use it
The most common pattern is not “work through the course from start to finish”. It is targeted: a student hits a wall on a Tuesday, opens that one topic, watches, retries the question, and moves on. Over a term that adds up to far more than a linear run-through would have.
The second most common pattern is revision before a test — two or three topics, practice, then the topical test to see whether it held. The third is going back a year, because this year assumes last year.
Where this sits alongside class
The course is built to work with a weekly class rather than instead of one, whether that class is ours or another centre’s. A recording cannot notice a student who has quietly stopped working; a teacher can. What the course adds is availability at the moment of difficulty, which no weekly class can offer.

Access, pricing and trying it
Published prices for the Secondary 3 A-Math course start at $146, with several access lengths listed on the course page. All online courses carry a 7-day money-back guarantee, so a family can look at the actual material before committing. Full terms are on the online course terms page.
If you are still deciding whether any additional support is the right move, our honest test for that is a better first step than a subscription. If you are comparing formats, group versus one-to-one covers the trade-offs.
What we describe here comes from how our own online courses are built and from what we have seen in our own classes. It is not a forecast for any individual student: progress is produced jointly, by a student willing to put in the work with support at home. No tuition centre in Singapore may promise grades, and we do not. Course details and prices are as published at the time of writing — check the course pages for current information.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Secondary 3 A-Math online course cover?
It covers the Secondary 3 A-Math syllabus topic by topic, with video lessons, a question bank, topical practice and topical tests for each topic. The topic list is above.
Can my child study topics out of order?
Yes. The course is self-paced and non-linear, so a student can go straight to the topic they are stuck on rather than working through everything in sequence.
Are past-year papers included?
Yes. The course includes past-year school examination papers from recent years, with worked answers recorded alongside them.
How long is access?
Several access lengths are published on the course page. Prices start at $146 and are listed there in full.
Is there any risk in subscribing?
All online courses carry a 7-day money-back guarantee. The terms and conditions set out how it works.
