How soon can improvement be seen?

This varies depending on the student's current understanding and how consistently they practise. In many cases, once students start understanding the logic behind the accounts, they feel more confident and are able to attempt exam-style questions more effectively.

Why Is your child struggling with POA?

Principles of Accounts (POA) is a completely new subject for students when they enter Secondary 3.

Unlike subjects they've studied for years, POA introduces unfamiliar accounting terminology, journal entries and financial statements.

Some students may initially manage by memorising formats and procedures. However, as the syllabus progresses, they begin encountering questions that require a deeper understanding of accounting concepts.

Without a strong foundation, even students who put in effort may struggle to achieve the results they hope for.

Does any of this sound familiar?

❌ Your child studies for POA but still struggles to pass.

They spend time revising, but their examination results don't seem to reflect their effort.

❌ They understand the examples but cannot apply the concepts independently.

They can follow explanations during lessons but become confused when examination questions are presented differently.

❌ They keep forgetting journal entries and accounting concepts.

They may remember the formats but struggle to explain why certain accounts are debited or credited.

❌ Their results are inconsistent despite understanding some topics.

They may perform well in familiar questions but lose marks when questions require more application or careful interpretation.

❌ You're worried about their progression to Sec 4.

With national examinations approaching, you want to address their weaknesses before the demands of POA increase.

In most cases, the issue is not ability
it’s that the foundation was never properly explained

How we help students improve in POA

Understand → Remember → Apply → Perform

Improving in POA involves more than completing worksheets or memorising accounting formats.

Our teaching approach focuses on four important areas.

01 — UNDERSTAND

Build a strong foundation in accounting concepts

We help students understand the reasoning behind accounting entries and financial statements.

For example, rather than simply memorising that an expense must be debited, students learn how different transactions affect the accounts and why the entries are recorded in a particular way.

This helps them develop the understanding needed to approach unfamiliar questions.

02 — REMEMBER

Strengthen memory retention through regular revision

POA contains accounting terminology, definitions and concepts that students need to remember accurately.

We reinforce these through regular revision and theory practice, helping students retain important knowledge instead of forgetting earlier topics as the syllabus progresses.

03 — APPLY

Practise applying concepts to different questions

Understanding an explanation is one thing. Applying it independently is another.

We provide targeted questions to help students practise interpreting information, preparing journal entries and completing financial statements.

Mistakes are reviewed so students can identify what went wrong and how to avoid repeating them.

04 — PERFORM

Develop examination skills and confidence

As examinations approach, students work on examination-style questions, school papers and timed practices.

We focus on helping them improve their accuracy, question interpretation and time management so they are better prepared to demonstrate what they've learnt.

Our goal is not simply to help students memorise answers, but to develop an understanding of POA that they can apply independently.

Student’s excellent grade for POA on official exam resultsjpg

High-scoring POA exam result being awarded in school

" My son got his O-level results in Jan 2025. Got A1 for POA.

With a borderline pass for school's prelim exams, I sent him to InstanTuition for POA tuition 2 months before N Level, then continued another 8 months in 2024 to prepare for POA O Level. This is not a 'branded' tuition centre. But I am very pleased with Ms Kacey and her team's dedication to teach the students. I think their lessons and class structure were effective for my son, Edryan. Of course, the student himself had to put in effort and willing to learn!

Appreciate that classes were in small groups, please continue to keep up the good work and sincere dedication in teaching the students. Thank you. "

" Miss Kacey was able to win Zalifah over and because of the rapport, Zalifah, who used to fail POA started to love the subject. Zalifah was willing to put in the extra effort and from failing POA since Sec 3, she managed to pass her 'N' Levels with a grade 2. Zalifah is further motivated to take up Business Studies at Temasek Poly this year."

" My daughter greatly improves from borderline passing to grade 2. Teachers at InstanTuition were very supportive with good motivation for my daughter to excel in her studies. It was a great achievement and was rewarded with a good progress award by MOE. The teachers from InstanTution has gone beyond just teaching and cared for the student not only during tuition class and they are open to teaching even after tuition classes.

My daughter was constantly given support via message and call.

Before-and-after POA O Level exam results showing marked improvement.

" I’ve seen an improvement in my grades since I’ve joined InstanTuition. Miss Kacey has been teaching me POA since sec 3. I have always struggled with POA and couldn’t grasp the concepts very well, thus failing this subject for every exam. Attending her classes has helped me clear various doubts I had about POA. Lessons are engaging and productive and her teaching methods are different from my teacher, thus allowing me to be able to understand it better. I went from scoring a U grade to getting an A1 for 'N' levels.

Besides enrolling for POA tuition, I also attended a crash course for Math under Mr. Cheok, a month before 'N' levels. Before attending Mr. Cheoks' lesson, my grades have always been stagnant and I had a weak understanding of Math. Mr. Cheok is a kind and funny teacher. He can connect with students well and would try his best to make things simpler for me by using more general explanations which are easy to understand. He focuses on my weaker areas and gives me practices to strengthen that area. Within that one month, I went from a Grade 5 to a Grade 3.

The environment is conducive, comfortable and welcoming as well. I look forward to lessons, highly recommended! Best tuition centre at Tampines!☺️ "

" I have been having POA tuition with Ms Kacey and Math and Science tuition with Mr Cheok at InstanTuition since i was sec 3. Ever since i joined them my marks have improved remarkably. They provided me with useful materials. This led to me doing well for my n lvls.
i would recommend this tuition center to others as it is very good. The environment here is good as i am able to study well here. "

If your child is taking Principles of Accounts (POA) in Secondary 3, you may have noticed that it is quite different from the subjects they have studied before. For most students, POA is a completely new subject. Suddenly, they are introduced to unfamiliar terms involving businesses, money, accounts and financial transactions.

Just got your POA exam results and wondering “What should I actually revise?” If you're preparing for the 2026 O-Level Principles of Accounts (POA) 7087 exam, you probably already know that POA isn't a subject you can revise effectively by simply reading through your notes again and again.

POA tuition FAQs

principles of accounts - POA

Not at all. Many students only realise after their Sec 4 Weighted Assessments that POA is more challenging than they expected It is quite common for students to seek additional help at this stage. With clearer explanations and consistent practice, there is still time to strengthen understanding before the N or O Level examinations The important thing is starting early enough so the student has time to rebuild their foundation and practise exam-style questions

This is actually quite common. Many students join our classes after failing or barely passing their weighted assessments. POA can feel very confusing when the earlier foundational concepts are not fully understood. During lessons, we help students rebuild their foundation step by step so they can understand how the accounts work instead of relying on memorisation. Once students start to see the logic behind the entries, their confidence usually improves and they are better able to handle exam questions.

Yes. Our lessons are conducted in a small class setting with individual coaching Although students attend the same class session, each student may be working on different topics or questions depending on their current level and school progress. This allows students who are weaker in certain areas to strengthen their foundation, while others can move on to more advanced exam questions Because the class size is kept small, we are able to provide individual coaching during the lesson, guiding each student through their questions and ensuring they understand the concepts before moving on This approach helps students learn at their own pace while still benefiting from a structured classroom environment Many students find this helpful because they can focus on the specific POA topics they are struggling with instead of trying to keep up with a fixed class pace.
