Why Do Some Students Thrive in Math While Others Struggle?
At Talgo Math, we believe that mastering mathematics is a journey that combines confidence and intellectual understanding.
How Does The Talgo Maths Principle Enhance Learning?
The key to mastering math lies in realisation it is a two-pronged journey: emotional and intellectual.
We believe that confidence plays a crucial role in a student’s success in mathematics. As such, a healthy relationship with the subject encourages this confidence, develops curiosity, and enhances problem-solving skills.
1) Emotional Engagement
We start by understanding each student’s emotional relationship with math. The first question we ask is how they currently feel about the subject. This insight allows us to identify any challenges they may face. Regardless of age, many students come to us with apprehensions about math. Our goal is to transform these feelings into joy and satisfaction through mastery.
2) Intellectual Development
Intellectually, we emphasise two key areas:
- Conceptual understanding and
- Practical application.
We prioritise conceptual understanding before moving on to practical exercises. Students are better equipped to tackle complex problems and apply their knowledge effectively by ensuring that they grasp the underlying concepts.
3) Supportive Learning Environment
Our classes are intentionally kept small or offered one-on-one. This approach creates a comfortable space where students feel safe to voice their concerns and ask questions without embarrassment. We encourage a student-led learning environment, allowing them to take charge of their educational journey. This combination of emotional support and focused intellectual development makes the Talgo Math Principle a powerful tool for success.

The Mechanics of The Talgo Principle
Student Centred Revision
The tutor begins by asking students what they want to focus on during the session. Lessons typically align with their school curriculum but can also address specific topics that need more attention.
Concept Exploration
The tutor explains the concept, providing examples for the student to follow. This live demonstration helps reinforce understanding.
Independent Practice
The student attempts a few questions independently. The tutor checks their work step-by-step, ensuring they are progressing correctly and addressing any misunderstandings immediately.
Progression to Advanced Topics
Once the tutor is satisfied with the student’s grasp of the concepts, they will advance to more challenging questions, worksheets, and exam-style problems.
Feedback to Parents
Communication with parents is vital. The tutor provides feedback monthly or as needed through Talgo’s WhatsApp channel or face-to-face meetings. This method informs parents about their child’s progress and areas for further support.
