Tuition Background

Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have been conducting private group and 1 to 1 lessons in Singapore for 3 years and am very familiar with Lower Secondary Science, O-Level Physics and A-Level Physics.

In the past I have also taught Physics at the University level in the USA. I have also worked as an engineering manager here in Singapore for 4 years, so I know what it takes to be sucessful in academics as well as the corporate job market.

My approach is to teaching is very practical. I like to relate topics to the real world and get the students interested in what they are learning. I help them learn how to think and analyze problems, not learn through memorization.

I have excellent results, with a large number of students getting A's and also enjoying learning at the same time. Testimonies available on request.

    • Secondary 3 Physics
      Course Description:
      Secondary 3 Physics Class
      Our method is:
      1. To build strong foundations in Physics by enforcing good concept understanding. This means having a teacher who is good at explaining things.
      2. To show students how to apply the concepts to problem solving. We want students to draw on their understanding to solve problems, not just memorize their way to the answers. If a student can be guided to draw on their own understanding, they will be ahead of 90% of their peers. Also, this will help them become better learners and much more efficient in their studies.
      3. To prepare students for their school tests. We have excellent results and lots of testimonies from students and parents.
      4. To make lessons fun and interesting. We show videos and do short experiments. We help student make the connection between the principles of science they are learning and the real world.
      Other Details:
      We do have a referral program for those who refer other students to us.

      We have many students from IP schools as well as the express or normal track students. We have special challenging material for the IP students.

                      Our method is:
                      1. First, you need good concept understanding. This means having a teacher who is good at explaining things and knows how to teach the subject properly.
                      2. Next, it is important that students know how to apply the concepts to problem solving. We spend a lot of time showing you the connection between the concepts and the problems. You can save loads of study time drilling if you understand how to approach certain categories of problems.
                      3. To prepare students for their school tests and the A-Level Exam. We have excellent results and lots of testimonies from students and parents.
