Weekly Tuition for S4 / O-LEVEL ENGLISH, MATH, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY & BIOLOGY
Preparations for the O-LEVEL Exams begin early. Singapore Learner provides weekly O-LEVEL tuition classes for the following subjects:
ENGLISH, MATH, ADDITIONAL MATH, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY & BIOLOGY.
Our standard monthly fee (4 sessions) for each SEC 4 subject is $260. But students who register before 1st Feb enjoy a Special Early Bird Discount of $40 off each subject, paying only $220 per month per subject till they complete their O-LEVELs.
We are OPEN for REGISTRATION from 10 am to 4 pm on weekends. Our Location: Blk 644, Bukit Batok Central, #01-68.
Our centre is also open for registration on weekdays, from 11 am to 6pm, from 5 Jan to 9 Jan. (Tel: 65694897; 97860411).
Suggested answers to GCE O Level 2014 A. Math (4047) Paper 2
1(i) When t = 0, 20 + A = 80, so A must be equal to 60.
1(ii) k = 0.288 (to 3 SF)
1(iii) Since t > 3.82, it is safe to give the food 4 min after removal from the microwave.
———————————————————————————————————–
2(i) Remainder = – 12
2 (ii) f(-2) = 0, so (x+2) is a factor of f(x). Solving f(x) = 0, x = -2, 1/2 or 3.
———————————————————————————————————-
3(i) Length of rectangle = 9/2 + Sqrt(3)/6
3(ii) c = -1
———————————————————————————————————–
4(I) 2.25 4
(ii) 8x^2 + 5x + 64 = 0
———————————————————————————————————–
5(a) x^2 – 8x + 32 = 0. No real solution because discriminant is less than 0.
5(b) y = 1/x^2
———————————————————————————————————–
6(I) Use the fact that triangle ACE is isosceles and the alternate-segment theorem to state that angle ACE = angle ABC. Angle DEF = angle ECA + angle EAC.
6(ii) angle DFE = 2 x angle ACB.
6(iii) Use the fact that angle BAC = 180 deg – (angle BAF + angle CAE).
So 2 x (angle BAC) = 360 deg – 2(angle BAF + angle CAE).
———————————————————————————————————-
7(I) p = 3 and q = 2
7(ii) (a) increasing
7(ii) (b) decreasing
7(iii) It is a maximum point
7(iv) 0
———————————————————————————————————-

Suggested answers to GCE O Level 2014 A. Math (4047) Paper 1
1. k = -2
2. sqrt(26)/26
3. 1.75
4. -3/x – 2/x^2 + 4/(x-2)
5(i) v = 0.263
5(ii) around v = 0.231
5(iii) around f = 0.120
6. (i) Remember that when there is a mixture of trigo functions which cannot fit into a single trigo identity, convert all the given trigo functions into sine and cosine. Start with the LHS, the more complicated expression. You will reach the key stage where
LHS = 1 / [(1 – sin^2@)/(sin@cos@)] = 1/ (cos^2@/sin@cos@) = 1/(cos@/sin@) = tan@
6(ii) acute angle, so @ = 1.05.
7(i) A = (h, 2h); B = (7h/4, 2h); C = (h, h/2)
7(ii) Area of trapezium = 21 sqr units.
8. Integrate f'(x) to get f(x) with a +c. Use f(pi/2) = 0 to get c = 1/4. Differentiate f'(x) to get f”(x)= 4cos4x + 2sin2x. Proceed to add f”(x) to 4f(x) to get the RHS.
9(i) Pure inequality question. Solve 2x^2 + 5x – 12 > 0 by sketching a quadratic graph. Ans: {x : x < -4 U x > 3/2}
9(ii) Show that the (b^2 – 4ac) of (4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0) is zero.
9(iii) a = -1.

Fee is $90 per hour and must be paid in advance to confirm the slot (no refund for a no-show whatever the reason). Lessons can be physical in-centre or online via zoom. Fee for home tuition (west area) is $180 per hour.

NEW SEC 3 A. MATH REVISION CLASS STARTING 30 AUG
There have been many requests for me to start another Sec 3 A. Math class since June. Since exams are near, I think a 6-session revision class would be ideal, from 30 Aug to 4 Oct. This class will then resume as a Sec 4 Headstart class in November for those who are still interested. Thus if you are looking for an NIE-qualified and experienced tutor to prepare you for your end-of-year exam, then take note of the following details and register as soon as possible as places are limited.
