I was nervous about joining a new tuition center, as I had been tutored privately before, and doubtful about whether or not it would be beneficial to me. However, Mr. Yu has been an extremely supportive, kind, and generous tutor. I immediately felt welcomed into the class and learned a lot of techniques and various ways to target specific questions. Mr. Yu also dedicates a lot of his time and energy to all of us students and encourages us constantly. Ever since I joined TSA,my love for biology has grown, and my results for the subject have also drastically improved. Deciding to join TSA has been an incredible decision that has benefited my academics. read less

Having being a struggling student in science since lower secondary, i have found myself more confident in science. Having been under Mr Jared for the past two years, I have had tremendous improvement in my chemistry and also the way to apply the concepts when doing questions. Really thankful for the chemistry lessons this past two years. Furthermore, the science academy has also really helped me to come a long way in my mathematics. From being a struggling math student in lower secondary, I joined the science academy under Mr Two’s math class and have followed him all the way to sec 4. His classes are always so helpful and has allowed me to improve tremendously in my math. Really want to thanks Mr Teo as well for his guidance. His teaching is extremely clear and descriptive, which is really easy to understand for any struggling students read less

Chemistry wasn't my best subject as I failed to grasp some of the main concepts. However, Mr Tham has always been very patient and goes through any doubts I have clearly. All of the lessons I've had with him were very fun and engaging, and he will make some casual talk from time to time to get to know us better. Thanks to him, I am able to understand most of the concepts of Chemistry better now, so I'm really grateful for his support. read less

They are also very kind and caring and are willing to do extra to ensure that we understand. However, they both have a different style of teaching, which may not be suitable for everyone.

Mr Yu often makes jokes and tells us about his personal life which makes lessons more enjoyable to attend, but it may lead to less practice before examinations.

On the other hand, Mr Teo goes through a lot of content each lesson, which can make lessons drier, but also means that most of the questions in examinations are very familiar

Although their teaching styles are different and they each have their own flaws, I do recommend their classes if you need help with your sciences. read less

I could never find a suitable or good way to study chem, and I was also reluctant and doubtful that joining Mr Yu would change how I viewed the subject. However, I was proven wrong when I started experiencing his teaching. With his many “close to” realistic chem diagrams and other drawings, together with his detailed and patient explanations in his teaching, I actually started to see the fun in learning chemistry, and I became more motivated to do so, which I am really thankful for. Throughout the years and many conversations held with Mr Yu, be it for chem or even when I seek for other personal advices, Mr Yu has helped me grow in many ways alongside my confidence in doing chemistry. Mr Yu’s lively personality (and his many random lame jokes), together with him constantly going out of his way to provide extra consultations not only shows his willingness to teach, but also his care and effort for every student. It has been a fun and fulfilling close to 4 years in his class, and I can safely say that Mr Yu is both a tutor and a friend to me, and a tutor I’d absolutely recommend to my juniors :DDMr Teo’s classes have been a joy to attend ever since I started at the beginning of J1. I’d always been fearful of jc math after hearing about it’s difficulty from others long before I entered jc. However, Mr Teo’s detailed explanations and methods allowed me to gain better understanding of math, and I slowly learnt to enjoy it as well. Mr Teo is always very patient when it comes to helping me understand and solve any math problem, and is also able to liven the mood of the class especially since my class is in the morning. He is always willing to give us extra practices and ready to offer us help out of his schedule. Even though I’ve only been with Mr Teo for slightly less than 2 years, I’m grateful for his help throughout my jc math journey, and I’d recommend him to others :-)) read less

He never hesitates to answer my questions outside of class timings and makes time to conduct any lessons i may have missed. In class, he reiterates important concepts and identifies common questions tested in exams. He also shares about his experience to make the class more enjoyable. When i have questions about a particular chapter, Mr Teo offers to send the recorded lecture/tutorial videos for me to review and clarifies my doubts when i have any. I really appreciate his support and guidance he has given me during my time here at TSA! read less

Since then, I’ve continued up till my A levels. Mr Yu is definitely a dedicated teacher, and he never fails to answer my questions or uncertainties (even outside of class time). His summaries and tips are also extremely useful for revision as he reminds us of key things to know. I’ve always found comfort in knowing that he who would be there for me if I needed any help with my work 🙂 He would also sometimes tell jokes or ask about us to ensure that we were coping well, as well as advise us on the future. read less

His patience and willingness to provide guidance, even when I struggled with challenging problems, have been instrumental in my growth as a student. His classroom was not just a place of learning but a haven where I felt encouraged to explore, ask questions, and strive for excellence.

Mr Tham's commitment to nurturing our scientific curiosity and fostering a love for chemistry has left an indelible mark on my academic journey. I am genuinely thankful for the countless hours he invested in preparing us for success, both in our studies and in life.

As I move forward, I carry with me the invaluable knowledge and life skills Mr Tham imparted. He is not merely a science and chemistry teacher; he is a mentor, a role model, and a source of inspiration. read less

Although I was fond of the subject in secondary school, I often felt overwhelmed by the amount of content that the subject encompassed in JC as well as the fast pace nature of JC lessons. As such, I started to attend lessons under Mr Yu at the start of JC1. Since then, he has not only supported me in adjusting to the rigour of JC chemistry, but he also made me develop a greater interest in the subject despite its increasing difficulty. Whenever I am in doubt, Mr Yu will never hesitate to answer them to his best abilities so as to make sure that I understand, even if this means that he has to stay late after class ends to clear my doubts. As a meticulous teacher who truly cares for the wellbeing of his students, Mr Yu has made studying chemistry less stressful and also more enjoyable! His willingness to always go the extra mile for his students makes him a teacher that I hope other students can also benefit from! I will always remain grateful for all the guidance he has given me throughout the 2 years to prepare for my A levels 🙂 read less

For chemistry, I’ve grown to like chemistry as a subject because of how I am exposed to Chemistry through Mr Yu. Mr Yu knows his content very well, allowing him to teach at different levels, from when we first start learning chemistry topics individually to linking many topics in a question during exam preparations. His resources allow students to expose to different chemistry questions, yet are able to spot structure in the explanation given by him - which is subsequently useful when it comes to answering questions during exams. At times when I am unable to understand his explanations in class, he is capable in giving an alternative thinking approach on the answers are explained on the spot, which allows students to have greater clarity in his explanations when it’s still fresh in their minds.

For biology, we had a smaller group class, which gives us many opportunities in a lesson to engage with discussions between students and for Mr Yu to listen to our answers before commenting on ways to improve answers. This way of personalised teaching allows students in class to learn from one another and benefits individuals when receiving feedback.
Mr Yu is very detailed when explaining processes in our Biology syllabus, which helps us understand and visualise processes with intricate drawings, instead of just reading from the notes (which is what typical Bio tutors do..) At times, he may even pop a few questions that make students think out of the box, since biology isn’t always limited to one answer. I think that this challenges our approach in which we view the topics, broadens knowledge by bringing in new facts that aid us in learning better.

Mr Yu willingly takes up questions posed to him from students, be it from consultations to review mistakes after exams, or questions from school work. He doesn’t give answers immediately, but instead engage in a conversation and breaks down the question for students to understand easily, since students may be equipped with the content but are just unsure of how to approach the question and answer it with techniques. Mr Yu sees potential in students and motivates throughout my A level journey (and O levels), acting as a form of guidance when as I learn.

To add on, there are more learning resources available through online recordings of lectures and questions that I am able to access anytime I need. This is a feature that i think makes The Science Academy stand out as it gives students an opportunity to learn at their own pace, by reviewing recordings after lessons when needed or revisit topics again when exams are around the corner.

A little shoutout to the admin (mr gary 😄) for the quick response when dealing with my queries and making lesson materials available whenever i need it!

I’ve throughly enjoyed my time learning over here. I am grateful to have the teachers around me and really appreciate the effort and dedication that the tutors here put in to nurture students. This is not through knowing the syllabus extensively and just teaching it but can only be felt through the interactions between teachers and students here. read less

He’s been the most inspiring teacher i have ever had, not only as a teacher but as an approachable friend and role model i look up to. Ever since entering JC, i’ve always made it my goal to work hard not only for myself nor my family but also for him, because of all the work and care he has put in to get me to the point i am today. His teaching technique incorporates discipline with effective teaching methods thats are easy to understand and apply to our work, allowing students to achieve their desired results extremely easily. Definitely one of the best teachers i have ever had!
Mr Teo is also another teacher that I have been enrolled with for a very long time. Been taking Math and Physics with him ever since secondary school with them has been nothing short of fun, wholesome, enriching and fruitful! too and then in JC as well. It’s extremely fun learning physics with him as he teaches in a fun way thats not only easy to understand but easy to apply to questions as well, something extremely essential math and physics. His classes are extremely fun, and just like Mr Yu, he is an extremely approachable and helpful teacher thats displays true care for the students he teaches. I would constantly arrange consultations with him to clarify physics questions and he will always be there to help me properly internalise and understand any of my past queries. These 2 teachers are easily the best 2 teachers i have ever had in my entire life, and my journey of learning read less

When going through answers, he never fails to give us information more than what the question requires in order to add on to our reservoir of knowledge. He helps to bridge the gap between topics to link them together, which is very useful for exams. He cracks jokes to make us feel comfortable and always gives us help when we need it. I really enjoy the fact that we can come back to the centre and watch recorded lecture to bolster our understanding of the topics, and this has helped me tremendously since my S3 foundation was not very stable. I do enjoy coming to class and really appreciate his help. read less

As I struggled to understand simple chemistry concepts taught in school, I needed someone to point me in the right direction and make sure I understood Chemistry better. Mr Yu was able to do just that for me. He is a nice teacher who cared about everyone's daily lives and often asked the class about how we were doing in school. On top of that, he also deepened my interest in organic chemistry even though I dreaded it at first. When it comes to explanations, he was always patient and dedicated in doing so, ensuring that I understood every bit of what he said. Overall, I definitely recommend attending his chemistry classes and I am extremely grateful for his guidance in the past year! read less

I used to struggle with Chemistry concepts to the point where I would barely pass my tests, but after joining Mr Yu’s Chemistry class, my grades have improved tremendously, as he explains things with great clarity, has shortcuts (eg CRAyOn and SHOE) to help us memorise, and encourages us to voice out any questions we have. I am glad to have attended his class, and would recommend that if you are struggling with Chemistry, attend Mr Yu’s class and it will help a ton 😀 read less

He makes lessons fun by making jokes during class which allows us to stay awake even after a tiring day at school. He always asks us how we are doing before class starts which makes us feel that he cares for us. I really enjoyed every class and would recommend for anyone to join the class so that you can grasp the subject better read less

He is extremely energetic and helps us in our chemistry even after tuition hours. His mood swings sometimes is weird but his lessons are insightful. He goes out of his way to go through every single question to such extent that not only do i understand the question but also further details and know how to solve them in the future if a similar question pops up. He is strict and humorous which is a great combination of personality any teacher could have. This past year has been extremely helpful with mr yu and my grades also reflect on how well he teaches. Though obviously he should not get all the credit for my grades, it was definitely helpful having him as a tutor. read less

He teach his lesson in a way that engages the students and is very helpful in helping us to understand the content and the questions. He is also very patient as even if you have a lot of questions he will help to make them clear for us students to understand. He taught me physics, and it’s very effective and easy to understand. I joined physics class for one year and felt that i understood more content and exposed to more questions.

Mr Yu is very strict and precise teacher, in his class i learn more accurately about the topics and how to catch the key words that the question need. He is also patient with his students especially those who may be weaker in some topics than the others. I would always ask him question after class, even though he have other lessons he have to attend to, but he would still answer your query immediately. However, he can still vibe with you (strictly after class 🙂 ) He’s also a very nice and fun teacher!!! read less

However TSA allows us to revisit any chapters on their devices, which allowed me to learn from lectures recorded by the tutors. Mr Yu would be in the centre to answer my questions and clear my doubts as well. This helped me a lot as I could improve on the chapters I needed additional help with.Moreover during lessons, Mr Yu reiterates important key words and points which helps me memorise content easily too. His lessons are really engaging as he asks questions now and then which ensures i’m paying attention all the time. Therefore I would like to thank mr yu for making me enjoy learning chemistry 🙂 read less

Dedicated tutors who bond well with students and are flexible in allowing students to join other classes.

From a failed or borderline grade in Sciences, my DD science jumped 2-3 grades in her O level. It is a great achievement for her. Without the help from the tutors, I think she may not achieved what she obtains now.It is never a wrong decision to put my DD in TSA. During her journey in TSA, the tutors will checked with parent on the status on how the children progress and via versus. Make up classes is always available when the child can't attend.Thank you so much. read less

What makes him so unique is his passion BOTH for teaching and for his students; I know very few tuition teachers that are willing to shout at you to keep your learning attitude in check. Characteristics of his teaching include, neat handwriting, colourful hand-drawn diagrams, and acronyms, amongst other memorisation techniques, that make the syllabus much less intimidating and, with slight effort on the student's part, very handleable. He also puts in effort to keep the class atmosphere lively, and I appreciate that. Thanks Mr Yu! read less

Mr Yu has been extremely helpful in ensuring I am able to grasp Chemistry concepts well. He often provides us with mnemonics, shortcuts, and neatly hand drawn diagrams in class to facilitate our understanding. On top of that, he would engage in casual conversations with us during class which helps us students form a closer bond to him. read less

So good.

He takes genuine interest in his students and actually gets to know his students personally. Funny how he complains about how he gets too close to his students without realizing that's what makes him a great teacher. He makes you feel like you want to listen to him rather than you need to listen to him; Learning from him becomes an easy feat because of this.
Mr Yu is also extremely good at his job and obviously well accomplished, if not he wouldn't have been running a center but what makes him distinct from other tutors is his way of explaining small or huge concepts. He uses cute analogies, funky stories and goofy drawings to explain the concept. In light of the pandemic Mr Yu has adapted very well to the E-teaching ways so his quality will not be affected. He is a teacher that is hard to come by and if you do come by hard to part ways. Thank you Mr Yu for helping me slay a big monster AKA Chemistry read less

After attending Mr Yu’s Chem classes and getting encouraged by him to do extra lessons, i managed to score a A2 for my paper. Mr Yu’s enthusiastic teaching method has made me enjoy chemistry much much more than I have in school, through his thorough explanations for questions and his amazing drawings of various concepts. Mr Yu’s strict teaching ways pressured me into doing my homework every week, which although painful, benefited me in the long run, evident from the ease of me doing chemistry papers. Thank You Mr Yu for being such a caring and awesome tutor!!

As I joined TSA relatively late, the tutorials and practices for previously taught topics were provided to me so I can complete them on my own time. Through this, I was able to catch up with the rest of my class and strengthen my weak sec 3 foundation. His weekly classes are fully maximised through efficient and effective teaching, allowing me to grasp, articulate and apply complex concepts during tuition lessons and at school. Mr Yu goes above and beyond, getting to know each and every student, and making himself available for one on one consults. He makes learning chemistry enjoyable and frequently cracks jokes in class. But this does not mean that we can slack off during lessons because Mr Yu pushes us to do our best in every lesson. My TSA lessons have the right balance of fun and learning that has helped me persevere through challenging times and build a strong foundation in content knowledge, pushing me to excel with a thorough understanding of chemistry. I am grateful to Mr Yu for believing in my ability and for nurturing me throughout my time in TSA. read less

Lessons include drawings of biological systems, in-depth explanation of concepts as well as important information looked for in the A-level examinations which provide a comprehensive understanding of A-level biology. Beyond that, practice in lessons put our knowledge to the test, and sharpen our learning. Would highly recommend Mr Yu to any student wanting to break boundaries in their academics! read less
