JC 1 / A LEVEL H2 PHYSICS HEAT & LIGHT INTENSIVE RELEARNING & REVISION JUNE 2018
For all JC students taking H2 Physics in the A-levels this year who struggle with heat and light related problems. If concepts such as work done in heat/PV graph, waves in phase/out of phase and diffraction grating or interference pattern confuse you and keep you up at night, you must attend this program.
In each lesson, the tutor will clear all misunderstanding about key concepts, and introduce proper answering techniques with regard to scoring well in school exams, as well as the actual A-level paper. Lesson is conducted in a lecture and tutorial style, with short lectures for conceptual understanding, and challenging tutorials to cover the range of questions which will be tested.
Course Outline:
5/6: Thermal Physics (First Law, Ideal gas, KE of a molecule)
12/6: Wave motion (Graphical representation of waves, polarization and transverse waves)
19/6: Superposition (2 source interference pattern and diffraction grating
Duration: 3 weeks, 2h each
Dates: Every Tuesday 5 June. 12 June and 19 June
Time: 230 pm – 430 pm
Location: Blk 644, Bukit Batok Central, #01-68. S(650644).
Format: Teaching + Worksheets + Discussions
Target Group: Current IP Y6 students and J2 students.
Our worksheets are selected based on past year questions from a variety of JCs, and based on common past year questions from the A-levels. During lessons, we provide tips or question spotting based on trends observed in different schools.

GENERAL PAPER JUNE HOLIDAYS PROGRAMME
General Paper Programme Outline
This is an intensive system designed to equip you with the essential tools needed.
Duration: 3 sessions (3hours each)
Course Levels available:
-
A) FOUNDATION BUILDING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades below C)
-
B) FINE-TUNING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades C and above. This course will skip fundamental work and zero-in on precision writing techniques)
*note: Course fees are identical for both programmes. Choose the one that best suits your immediate needs and circumstances.
—————————————————————————————————-
Overview of primary Components:
1) Essay writing techniques- Question choice & analysis, essay structures, formulating arguments, conveying ideas in effective writing- there are essays, and then there are exam-essays.
2) Comprehension skills- critical reading, question analysis, effective paraphrasing and AQ-mastery. Work-arounds and preparation before we even start reading the text is key!
3) Content- Cut down on the need to memorize tons of facts and statistics. Solutions to content-generating that will save you hours each day!
———————————————————————————————————–
Workshop structure:
Session 1: Essay writing
Dates: (Course A- May 30th/June 13th, Course B: June 6/21st )
From planning to execution. Using time effectively to maximise the quality of your essay: a step-by-step guide on how to tackle any question in Paper 1. Materials include a 101-essential checklist for every student, sample essays/paragraphs, discussion of examination questions to cover a broad range of topics/areas of focus.
Session 2: Comprehension
Dates: (Course A: May 31st/June 14th, Course B: June 7th/22nd )
Critical reading and prepping effectively to ensure the most coverage of the passage, as well as systematic addressing of the various question types. Paraphrasing techniques and practices will also be the focus as this skill is of core importance to this paper, and one many students overlook. Finally, deciphering the AQ- how to maximise marks in a time-pressured window. Materials will include a handout covering various question types, sample/excerpts from a wide range of JC examination papers, as well as sample AQs from past year Cambridge papers.
Session 3: Content
Dates: (Course A: June 1st/15th, Course B: June 8th/23rd)
General knowledge is key to scoring well. But often times, it is not the volume, but rather the quality, and application. Content-manipulation/generation can often dramatically cut back on hours spent memorising facts and stats for the mere sake of doing so. Students will be shown, through a variety of methodologies (mind-maps, issue-linking, thinking structures etc) how to prepare for the subject efficiently. Realising that topics/modules should never be approached as separate entities also falls in-line with the changing trends of GP questions set by Cambridge, where essay questions are often multi-faceted.
—————————————————————————————————–
Course take-homes:
LET’S MAKE THINKING FUN AGAIN
Appreciation of GP beyond just a subject, but rather gaining a set of skills that can be applied throughout various aspects of life and academia. Debunking myths such as “the more I know, the better I’ll do”, and finally, re-discovering the passion for learning over the need for studying.
Attendees of the workshop will also gain unlimited access to my web-blog, which houses a repository of articles, sample essays/AQ responses, as well as revision essentials.
—————————————————————————————————–
About the tutor:
Mr Shermann is a graduate from NUS, holding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and History. He has 9 years of teaching experience in various Junior Colleges implementing his GP programmes, and over a decade of experience in private coaching. He specialises in General Paper and English Language, and has been credited with creating unique and functional approaches to effective writing. A fun and interactive teacher, sessions with Mr Shermann promise to be eye-opening and productive. Let’s get those grades you deserve, and let’s make learning fun again!
