The correct word to use …

Posted on by admin

What is the correct English word to use to describe individual tuition, one-on-one or one-to-one? Let me tell you what the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary say about it:

one-on-one: (1) A US adverb used in sports to mean that each player from one team is matched to a single player from the other team. (2) A US adjective to describe an activity in which one person is teaching or giving information to another person.

one-to-one: An adjective to describe an activity in which one person is teaching or giving information to another person.

Did you know that …

that you DON’T have to pass GP in order to be admitted to NUS? However, a low score in GP will affect your total academic score for the purpose of admission. The following is taken from their website:

New Singapore-Cambridge ‘A’ Level Curriculum (H1/H2/H3 Subjects)

Applicants (regardless of nationality) presenting the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Levels (H1/H2/H3 curriculum) are required to meet the following minimum academic requirements:

    1. Pass in at least two subjects at H2 Level and offer either General Paper (GP) or Knowledge & Inquiry (KI) in the same sitting.
    2. Meet the Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement for admission by having one of the following:
      1. minimum of D7 for the higher MTL paper taken at the ‘O’ Level examination.
      2. minimum of ‘S’ grade for the H1 MTL paper or General Studies in Chinese.
      3. minimum of ‘S’ grade for the H2 MTLL paper taken at the ‘A’ Level examination.
      4. pass in the MTL ‘B’ Syllabus paper at the ‘A’ Level examination.
      If you have been exempted from MTL, the MOE-approved subject-in-lieu will be considered as your MTL subject.

From N-Level directly to Poly ….

Posted on by admin

Are you aware that starting this year, N-Level students who perform very well can go directly to a Polytechnic without having to do the O-levels? This also means that N-Level students who did badly in 2011 can opt to re-take their N-Levels this year and still stand a chance to be admitted to a Polytechnic in 2013.

The following is taken from the MOE website:

“Students who have performed very well in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE N-level examinations (expected to be among the top 10% of the Secondary 4 N(A) cohort)2 will have a new option of completing a one-year Foundation Programme (FP) at the polytechnics, instead of taking their O-Levels in Secondary 5. The FP will offer a practice-oriented curriculum taught by polytechnic faculty, using applied teaching methods. This will better prepare polytechnic-bound N(A) students for entry into relevant diploma courses.

For the first phase beginning in 2013, polytechnics will offer a total of about 1,000 FP places that would articulate into a range of diploma courses. Students will gain admission into specific diploma courses upon entry to the FP and continue on to these diplomas if they complete their FPs satisfactorily. The FP could be expanded over time to cover more diploma programmes and offer more places.”

Good luck.

FIVE Reasons Why You Should Start Your Science Practical Training EARLY:

⭐It will give you more time to focus on your theory revision near the exam dates.
⭐You can identify shortcomings in your practical knowledge and skills early so that you will have enough time to rectify them.
⭐You will be able to complete more practical lessons and cover more topics to build up your confidence in doing your science practicals fast and correctly.
⭐You will be able to spread out your science practical training and revision at a more comfortable pace (like just once a month) to facilitate timely reinforcement.
⭐Higher availability of science practical lessons to suit your schedule

For enquiries, contact 88765498 (Admin).

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 small class size 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES 

The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around early to mid-April (Please check SEAB website). If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration in April, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. 

Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you must register with us and begin your science practical sessions for each subject BEFORE APRIL for us to certify that you have attended basic science practical training. Thus it is recommended that you commence practical training with us in Jan/Feb. Please note students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals.

The following is taken from SEAB website:

“If you are registering for a Science subject with a practical paper, you:
• Must have sat the same Science subject(s) previously, OR
• are currently attending or will be attending a course of instruction in Science practical at any institute/school. You must complete the course of instruction in Science practical at the institute/school enrolled in. You are required to declare that you have fulfilled the above requirements at the point of registration. Registration for the subject may be cancelled without a refund of the examination fees if a false declaration is made.“
