RI tuition for IP students
Finding the right Raffles Institution tuition means working with a team that understands the pace, depth, and expectations of RI’s IP programme. At Future Academy, we support RI students with structured lessons, clear notes, and exam-focused practice in small groups (maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6).
Our teaching team is led by Ms Chen (former RGS teacher; 15+ years teaching experience) and Mr Jason Lau (former Hwa Chong Math HOD; 17 years teaching experience at Hwa Chong Institution (HCI)). Together with our subject teachers, we focus on what RI students need most: strong concepts, efficient methods, and the ability to handle unfamiliar questions confidently.
RI students benefit from our small-group format (maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6) that balances personalised attention with the collaborative learning RI culture values. Our team understands that RI does not just demand academic excellence—it develops young men who think critically, solve problems creatively, and pursue knowledge independently.
Understanding the Programme
About Raffles Institution IP Programme
Raffles Institution is known for a rigorous academic culture and a demanding IP curriculum. RI students are expected to learn quickly, think independently, and apply concepts across unfamiliar contexts. This makes strong foundations and clear answering strategies especially important from Sec 1 onwards.
The RI Academic Culture
RI cultivates a distinctive culture of academic excellence, critical thinking, and all-round development. The school develops young men who think independently, question actively, and approach challenges with analytical rigor.
Accelerated & Rigorous
Topics introduced 6-12 months earlier than other schools, with greater depth approaching JC content in Sec 3-4. RI emphasises proof-based reasoning and analytical thinking from Secondary 2 onwards.
All-Round Excellence
Students balance rigorous academics across multiple subjects with CCAs, leadership opportunities, and personal development. This requires effective time management and independent learning capabilities.
Teaching team
Our RI IP Expertise
While our educators did not teach at RI specifically, their experience in IP school environments helps them anticipate common gaps and coach the skills RI assessments reward.

Former RGS Educator | 15+ Years Teaching Experience | Math & Physics
Ms Chen’s experience as a former RGS Mathematics and Physics teacher, together with 15+ years of teaching and tuition experience, means she understands the pace and expectations students face in RI:
Team Lead: Mr Jason Lau
Former Hwa Chong Math HOD | 17 Years Teaching Experience at HCI
Our IP Mathematics team is led by a former Hwa Chong Math HOD with 17 years of Mathematics teaching experience at HCI, bringing leadership-level expertise that benefits RI students:
Why RI Students Need Specialised Support
Even the brightest students who excelled in primary school often find RI challenging. Generic IP tuition fails RI students because it does not match RI’s rigor and expectations.
Small Group Excellence
How Our 1:6 Small Groups Benefit RI Students
Collaborative Learning
RI values collaborative problem-solving and discussion. Our 1:6 format replicates this environment while providing personalised attention from experienced educators.
RI-focused or mixed IP groups
We try to group RI students together when possible. When curriculum overlaps, mixed IP groups (for example RI + RGS + Hwa Chong) also work well.
Cost-effective over time
Consistent support from Sec 1–4 into JC, in small groups with a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6.
Student Success
RI Student Success Stories
Transformation
Daniel – From Struggling to Thriving
Background: Daniel entered RI with excellent PSLE results but found himself overwhelmed by Secondary 2. RI Math moved too fast, and he struggled with proof-based reasoning. His grades slipped, and he questioned whether he could succeed at RI.
The Challenge: Daniel’s previous tuition taught computational skills but did not develop the deep understanding and analytical thinking RI expects. He could solve routine problems but struggled with challenging, non-routine questions.
The Solution: Daniel joined our small group (maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6). Our teaching team identified foundational gaps and rebuilt understanding with structured methods aligned to RI standards. We explicitly taught proof techniques and problem-solving strategies.
The Results: Within 18 months, Daniel transformed. His grades improved to top 25% of his cohort. More importantly, he developed confidence and genuine mathematical capability. By Secondary 4, Daniel was thriving—eventually performing well at RI (JC).
“The team understood what RI expects and helped Daniel build stronger foundations and answering skills. His progress was clear over the term.”

Mathematical Excellence
Jonathan – Mathematical Excellence
Background: Jonathan performed well at RI but wanted to reach the highest levels—olympiad success and top university admission.
The Challenge: Jonathan needed extension beyond standard curriculum, olympiad preparation, and development of deep mathematical maturity.
The Solution: With our teaching team, Jonathan found the challenge he sought. We extended him with olympiad problems, introduced advanced concepts, and encouraged mathematical exploration beyond curriculum.
The Results: Jonathan achieved distinctions throughout RI, joined the mathematics olympiad team, and gained admission to a top university mathematics programme.
“The team pushed Jonathan to think deeply about mathematics and develop his potential fully. Jonathan’s achievements reflect exceptional mentorship.”

Proven Track Record
Student progress stories from RI students
Our Raffles Institution students consistently achieve excellent results across Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Here are some recent exam performances from actual RI students (student names covered for privacy):
The exam papers featured above represent students across different RI year levels and subjects. What they share in common is the deep understanding, proof-based reasoning, and analytical thinking skills developed through our teaching approach—the same rigorous standards that define excellence at Raffles Institution.
