Price: Registration Fee: $ 30. Monthly Fee: $400.

Each lessons are either content revisions, TOPICAL and YEARLY TYS practices or MOCK exams. Want to try our FREE TRIAL lesson? Contact the tutor here via <CODE>TRIAL.

Why choose SL for your Biology tuition?

SMALL and INCLUSIVE class size (max 8 students)!
Doing Chemistry too? Hybrid Dual Subject system to save on tuition fees!
Students can ask about their own school work!
FEE DISCOUNT on Practical lessons for Science students!
SIMPLIFIED and COMPREHENSIVE notes provided!

Background of the tutor:

The tutor graduated from NUS with a BSc (Honours) with a Major in Chemistry and a Minor in Biology and has been working part time in the tuition industry, facilitating practical lessons and tutoring theory in both O Levels and A Levels students in both Chemistry and Biology. The former MOE teacher is a passionate educator who believes in making lessons digestible and simplifying the topics for learners by using various teaching methods. Any learner under him will be trained to be excellent “answerers” for any exam questions. For any academic enquries, please contact him here.

FAQ:

Why the SMALL size class?

The small size class allows me to give my full attention to every student! This allows not only me to identify every student’s weaknesses easily, but can also allow the student to fully focus for every 2 hour sessions.

What do you mean by “INCLUSIVE”?

I always strongly believe that every student is equal, no matter which school they come from nor the type of candidate they are. We welcome students from neighbour JCs (including MI), or private candidates who wants additional revisions and practices, or even any student under the H1 syllabus. The inclusive environment allows every student to learn without feeling discriminated, allowing effective and efficient learning for everybody.

Why do you allow students to be able to ask about their OWN school work?

Since they are about 15 pre-uni institutes, every school comes out with variety of questions to access. While some of it’s difficulty is comparable to the A-Level Examination, some of it’s difficulty could challenge the student. As such, I would take this opportunity to break down the question for the students, and teach them ANSWERING TECHNIQUES that could help them answer these questions before any examination. This allows any student to be able to approach the questions without any fail, so that they are able to score well!

What do you mean by “SIMPLIFIED and COMPREHENSIVE” notes?

After looking through multiple assessment books and pre-uni institutes notes (They are no textbooks for A Levels!), the student may feel overwhelmed and not too sure what exactly to study for their A Levels. Hence, the IN-HOUSE NOTES, complied by me, is SIMPLIFIED for the students so that they have a higher confident to study for the subject. It is also COMPREHENSIVE so that student from ANY LEVEL are able to learn by re-read the notes. Of course, note-taking skills will also be taught so that the students can learn more effectiveely through the notes!

What are the fee discounts offered here?

As SL is offering JC Chemistry Tuition, enrolling in both subjects allows the monthly fee of JUST 700 for both (Original 800)! Additionally, since SL is THE CENTRE for PRACTICAL & practical is worth 20 % of the total exam marks, discounts can be applied for any of the practical sessions! (Referral System TBC).

What if I want 1-1 tuition OR classes beyond the above timeslot?

Contact 88668423 on whatsapp for more information! Timeslot is preferably on the weekday evenings!

I don’t want tuition, but I need consultation sessions? Do you offer that?

Yes, we do! In fact, the first hour of consulatation will offered free. Both physical and online. Contact 88668423 on whatsapp for more information!
