Integrated Programme Math and Sci EOY Marking and Revision service

This is an announcement for current parents and students who are attending the Integrated Programme specialization Maths and Science classes at Singapore Learner. With effect from today, there will be a FREE marking and revision service granted to all students for their EOY past year revision papers issued by their individual schools. It has come to my attention that for quite a few students, the work they have done for these revision papers are unmarked or have not been explained to them properly. I would like to extend my help by marking and going through their papers with them. If you wish to use this service, do assist your child in scanning their papers and sending it to me via PDF format using camscanner and I will handle the rest.

This also serves as a call to action for all current parents of students attending IP schools. If you are looking for intensive revision for the EOY exams, and interested in having a tutor who will go the extra mile in securing your child’s grades, do not hesitate to contact us and arrange for an appointment. Additional timeslots for revision can be arranged at the tutor’s discretion, so do not think its too late to improve.

IB DIPLOMA INTERNAL ASSESSMENT FOR SCIENCE

The Internal Assessment (IA) is a compulsory task for IB students in the Diploma Programme (DP). It is weighted to about 20% of the overall marks for a Science subject.

The marking criteria of the Internal Assessment are based on the Evaluation Criteria, which consists of different parts to be evaluated, namely: Personal engagement (i.e. motivation), research, data analysis, conclusion and evaluation, presentation.

For Science subjects, the IA project of a student is normally an experiment to determine the value of a particular variable, or to investigate the relationship between two or more variables.


We have been giving lab support (apparatus, materials, chemicals etc.) to IB Diploma science students to complete their IA for Biology, Chemistry and Physics since 2021.
If you need our lab support for your IA, please book our labs from Nov to Feb which are our non-peak periods. You may contact us via the contact numbers below:

CIE AND IGSCE SCIENCE PRACTICALS

LOOKING FOR THE BEST PLACE TO DO YOUR SCIENCE PRACTICALS? JOIN US!

We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical Training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IB, IGCSE).

Why Us?

  • Our teachers are highly qualified and very experienced, and we actually TEACH you good practical techniques.

  • We have been a one-stop comprehensive science practical centre providing solid practical training for ALL THREE sciences and for all levels and streams since 2017.

  • Our laboratory apparatus are exam-grade and the same as those used in MOE schools and our chemicals are all NEA-approved.

  • We have a structured practical training programme catering to the needs of both beginners and experienced students.

  • We have a maximum class size of just 5 students! Yes just 5 students at most, so that the teacher is able to observe the actions of each student more closely and demonstrate the correct practical techniques where and when necessary.

    Chemistry Practical

You may need science practical lessons if you are a private candidate who needs a science lab and apparatus as well as practical coaching, or you are a school candidate who needs more practical training to get top grades.

School candidates who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome, as you seldom get to complete a full practical in school, mainly due to lack of curriculum time.

If you are a private school or tutor who needs a science lab or practical training for your students, you are also advised to contact us early to work out the details such as course curriculum, lab worksheets, scheduling and fee matters.

For details on Practical Courses, Mock Exams or Schedules, kindly click on any of the following links relevant to the exam and level you will be doing:

Math/Science Project work consultancy for Secondary to JC students

Adapting to the ever changing landscape of Singapore’s Education is the number 1 priority to Singapore Learner as we aim to maintain our standard of always being nimble and at the forefront of education theory as well as assessment in Singapore.

The recent changes to the education system in 2023 has brought about a new element assessment, which is the addition of groupwork style assessment in place of Pen and Paper Worked Assessment or Mid Year Examination. It is our great pleasure to announce that Singapore Learner has another feather in our cap, and we will launch an adhoc consultation service for students who are looking for guidance (including preparing of presentation slides, presenting skills, assessment of presentation), learning space, as well as equipment, as they work on their new groupwork assessments.

Why us? As experts in both Integrated Programme (who place a strong emphasis on critical thinking via project based assessment) and Practical Examinations at the O/A-level , as well as being equipped with masters in education for curriculum and teaching from NIE, we are highly qualified as consultants and mentors when it comes to open-ended group project work as well as providing a conducive environment to guide students through their group work journey, using our years of experience as well as a fully functioning science lab.

Pricing:
Consultation costs will be pro-rated to our normal lesson costs depending on the level of the student. Costs of materials and preparation of lab will be pro-rated to basic material costs and charged separately. For students who require materials that are outside of the common lab materials, the tutors will order online accordingly

Timeslots:

Sat 9am – 1030am, 1045am – 1215pm

Sun 9am – 1045am, 230pm – 4pm

Further changes to timeslots to be discussed with the tutor

Our tutors:

Please arrange for your student group to come to the same timeslot in a timely fashion, confirmation with payment is expected at least 3 days in advance due our staff having to prepare the lab equipment as well as preliminary research

JC1 and JC2 Math Prelim Re-Learning Classes

These classes are designed for JC1 and JC2 students who are behind on their revision coming into their prelim exams, especially for JC2 students who have forgotten or did not do well in topics previously covered in JC1. Content mastery will be covered first before moving on to past year papers and timed exercises. Consultation after class is strongly encouraged during the entirety of the revision period. There is usually an additional 15-30 minutes of after class time for additional consultation, students are also encouraged to make use of online consultation whenever they are stumped in their revision. Below are some of the common revision topics based on our analysis of current trends in H1 and H2 Math.

H1: Indices and Surds, Graphing and Transformation, Differentiation, Integration, Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Hypothesis Testing

H2: APGP, Functions, Graphing and Transformation, Vectors, Complex Numbers, Differential Equations, Applications of Differentiation, Applications of Integration, Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Hypothesis Testing
