O-Level Combined Science Tuition

Looking for a Combined Science tuition programme in Singapore that can help your child boost their O-Level grades and motivate them in their academic life? Look no further than The Science Academy (TSA).

 

We offer dedicated O-Level Combined Science classes in Combined Physics, Combined Biology, and Combined Chemistry. This ensures students cover all relevant topics without missing the non-examinable chapters typically found in Pure Science classes. Learning materials are also specially created based on the Combined Science syllabus.

 

However, if the timings for the Combined Science classes don’t meet your schedule, you’re also welcome to join us for the Pure Science classes. Often, the additional information provided to Pure Science students can deepen their understanding of topics that are typically presented in a simplified form for Combined Science students.

 

TSA believes that a student shouldn’t subject themselves to the definition of Pure or Combined but rather learn the Sciences as a whole. More often than not, students are streamed into Combined Science classes due to poor grades obtained for non-science subjects in Secondary 2 and/or because they’re in schools that have limited class allocation.

 

Our O-Level Combined Science tuition programme employs a methodical approach to help our students reach targeted learning outcomes. This entails covering recall of content knowledge via techniques like mnemonics, as well as effectively applying that knowledge to answer their exam questions correctly.

 

By the time they finish our tuition programme, they’ll have the confidence they need to sit for their O-Level Combined Science exams and achieve their desired results.

Benefits of Our O-Level Combined Science Tuition

Learn from a Dedicated Combined Science Syllabus

 

Many Combined Science tuition classes in Singapore simply use the Pure Science syllabus. This can create some confusion for students and they have to be conscious of what topics to omit. Here at TSA, we use a dedicated Combined Science syllabus so students can learn according to the syllabus and at their own pace.

Gain Exposure to Active Learning Strategies

 

We use active learning strategies techniques such as template answers, flowcharts, mnemonics, and tables to improve students’ long-term info recall. This will help them better understand the relationship between different topics so that they gain a deeper appreciation of the role of science in our everyday lives.

Learn Proper Answering Techniques

 

Students will encounter various question types when sitting for their O-Level Combined Science papers, and we expose them to these different types early so they can feel prepared on the actual exam day. We also impart proper answering techniques so they can quickly and confidently answer any questions they encounter.

Boost Foundational Understanding of Key Concepts

 

We introduce students to key concepts ahead of time so that they can stay ahead of their lessons at school. This creates a solid foundation of understanding that makes it easier to encounter new concepts and apply their knowledge to exam questions.

Gain Access to Additional Notes

 

We provide in-house notes and teaching materials prepared by our tutors to help students better understand a given topic.

Gain Confidence in O-Level Science

 

All of the above imbues students with the confidence needed to tackle their O-Level Combined Science exams. Strategies on active recall, application, and more all come together to help them achieve the grades that they desire.

Coco Lee

Mr Yu really helped to make learning JC Chemistry a little less painful. He makes sure we are clear of our concepts and is always willing to help answer my queries, no matter how early or late I send them in. Learning Chemistry from him not only helped me improve my knowledge about the subject but also cultivated my interest towards Chemistry. Thank you Mr Yu for being so approachable and understanding towards your students’ needs and always going out of your way to help us in any way we need!

Mr Teo made physics easier to digest and understand. He has enjoyable lessons which make the overall learning process more conducive. He also provides great physics assistance outside of the classroom.

Arif Yusaf Ansari

I have been under Mr Yu for 6 years now, and throughout this time he has consistently proved himself as not only a great teacher, but a great friend too. He strives to make every lesson engaging and entertaining for us so that we can learn better. Mr Yu is a tutor that truly wants to help his students, and I am grateful to have been one of those students. Thanks for everything you have done cher and I hope that I can do you proud in my A Levels.

Natalie Ang

I joined Mr Yu’s class in the beginning of j2, and he has made learning chemistry really fun. He would record lectures/tutorials and always encourage us to come back for extra lessons to watch them. Seeing him genuinely want us to do well for chem really motivated me to study hard for it as well. Ever since joining his class, my chem has improved and I honestly enjoy the subject a lot more now thanks to Mr Yu 🙂

Mr Teo puts in a lot of time and effort in ensuring his students understand what they are learning. Although my time there is short, he has helped me improve in physics. He spent time helping me understand physics and teaching me how to apply my knowledge. He has made me confident in my abilities.

Ryan Chua

Mr Teo is one of the most dedicated tutors i have had, although he can be forgetful and busy, he can always find the time to help you with your work. this was very important to me when it came closer to my o level examinations as his constant support and guidance helped me through that tough period. he has also made math classes sound less boring than they seem. he is able to make it such a comfortable atmosphere for students to learn in, unless you did not do your homework, then it’s a different story

Mayvis Chua

I joined Mr Yu’s class in Primary 5 and have been taught by him for my entire Secondary School journey. I still remember when I first joined, I was failing my Sciences badly, but under his teaching, I have managed to improve tremendously to an A1. He would cite interesting examples and techniques such as “Another LaZy White Cat In Norway” which would help us in memorising things better, hence making learning interesting and fun!

Mayvis Chua

Daryl Lai

When i first joined Mr Yu's class in Primary 5 i was sort of scared of him as he was damn strict. But over the years as i got used to his lessons and learnt not to piss him off, it was extremely useful and i managed to secure distinctions for my sciences throughout the years.

Devika Prem

Even though I had only been with Mr Yu for a few months, not only had my biology grades but my interest for bio also increased!! His teaching style takes a more interesting approach than the usual teachers in school and he always gives us tips to help us understand the chapter better. Even though he may be scary sometimes, he always makes sure that every student enjoys his lesson and that you leave the class feeling great!!!

Charles Lee

Before joining TSA, I was met with countless setbacks and failures in Secondary 3 due to missing much of the academic year. As a result, my foundation for all the subjects were very weak, especially for chemistry.

Ra Yeojin

I joined this class in April right after stepping down from CCA, just a month before mid years because I was getting really desperate for help.. I hit the rock bottom in Sec 3 EOYs by getting F9 for chemistry LOL (i kept comforting myself by saying that cedar papers are just crazy hard...) I just knew that I couldn't afford to lose more time!!! I went to TSA religiously and managed to clinch a C5 for mid years! Their efficient and systematic teaching style helped me rid my hatred for Chemistry as I could actually grasp concepts quickly.

Melissa Yeo

Mr Yu makes chemistry interesting by making class engaging. I find it rlly helpful when he highlights common questions, or questions to take note of. i enjoy his lessons very much and have found them beneficial to my learning. i am grateful that i joined his class.
