Importance of JC tuition
It is quite tragic that most parents and even students think that the PSLE is the most important exam in Singapore, to the point that parents are willing to spend a lot on tuition for their 12-year old kids but not for their 17-18 year olds, who they believe can understand everything they study on their own. This is quite far from the truth. JC students still need good teachers, failing which they will need good tutors.
Doing badly at the A-levels has quite financially serious consequences. Let’s do the math. Let’s say a student is weak in three H2 subjects and goes for private tuition from March of his 1st year to November of his 2nd year. That is a total of 21 months. At roughly $320 per subject per month, his parents would have to fork out a total of $320 x 3 x 21 = $20 160. So we can say on average JC tuition costs around 20K. But if he doesn’t go for tuition and end up being rejected for his desired courses by all our local recognised universities, his parents may have to fork out around 300K-500K for an overseas degree! That is about 15 to 25 times more costly than spending on JC tuition.
My advice to parents is, if your child is struggling with his JC subjects, you NEED to find him good tutors. If you want to save 20K now you may have to lose 400K later.
PSLE Science question of the week
Answer: Answer is C, plants always grow towards the sun in order to capture more sunlight for photosynthesis.
PSLE Science question of the week #2:
Athlete’s foot
Question: Student A has a medical condition in which fungus grows on his feet. The doctor advised student A to wear slippers instead of covered shoes. Explain how wearing slippers helps reduce the growth of fungus on the feet.
Option A: Wearing slippers allows the student to air his feet and prevent growth of fungus
Option B: Wearing slippers keeps the student’s feet dry, as fungus needs water to grow
Option C: Wearing slippers instead of shoes as fungus likes to grow on socks
Option D: Wearing slippers exposes the feet to the sun, and fungi do not like sunlight
Answer: Answer is B! Fungi needs water to grow, so it prefers damp environment. Wearing slippers allowed sweat to evaporate, keeping the feet dry and free of fungi.
PSLE Science question of the week #3
Question: A man used a hammer to drive a nail into a piece of wood. Which factor will NOT affect how deep the nail goes into the wood?
Option A: Mass of the man
Option B: Mass of the nail
Option C: Friction between the nail and the wood
Option D: Height at which the hammer was raised
Post your answer in the comments section below!
Answer: Answer is B, mass of the nail is unrelated to the amount of force or energy the man needs to hit the nail.
PSLE Science question of the week #4
When Student A closed the switch, the bulb blew. Which one of the following would have prevented the bulb from blowing?
Option A: Using fewer batteries
Option B: Closing the switch more quickly
Option C: Changing the direction of the switch
Option D: Changing the direction of all batteries
Answer: Answer is A! Using too many batteries can cause the bulb to fuse due to too much current flowing through the bulb, and heating up the filament.

SEC 3 COMBINED SCIENCE (BUKIT BATOK)
We have 2 modes of regular weekly tuition for our Math and Science classes (non-IP): Flexible Group Tuition and 1-1 Tuition.
FLEXIBLE GROUP TUITION (FGT)
We do not have a fixed group tuition slot for secondary school students for three important reasons: (1) secondary students tend to have all sorts of after-school activities and even weekend school activities such that they will keep asking for change of tuition timing and many make-up lessons, thus if we accommodate this it will become flexible group tuition anyway; (2) secondary students have several math and science subjects and either multiple tuition will be too expensive for them or they will ask both math and science questions during tuition time as our kind and caring tutors can teach both math and science subjects; (3) different schools proceed with the same subject at a different pace and even with a different order of topics thus many secondary students will find tuition lessons are not relevant to them if we dedicate a specific topic of a particular subject to a tuition slot.
So in Flexible Group Tuition, a one-session-per-week student can attend any ONE of the designated slots and times and can consult the tutor on any math or science topic. The student is still advised to stick to one slot where possible for ease of administration. The schedule and structure of FGT is as follows:
Days: Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat, Sun
Times: 5.30pm – 7pm
Structure: Once a week, 4 times a month (however, a student may opt for the twice-a-week scheme with a higher but discounted monthly fee)
Registration fee: $30
Monthly fee (4 sessions, start in Nov-Jan): $280 (once-a-week) | $480 (twice-a-week)
Monthly fee (4 sessions, start in Feb-Oct): $320 (once-a-week) | $560 (twice-a-week)
Note: Above fees for new students may be changed without notice. In general, our fees are lowest for those who commence tuition in Nov-Jan and will increase after that (for new students).
1-1 TUITION
Days: To be negotiated and agreed upon
Times: To be negotiated and agreed upon
Registration fee: $30

Note: Our Science students (who commence tuition before March) enjoy a 50% discount when they book our Science practical sessions (once a month).

A-LEVEL PRIVATE CANDIDATES
FAQ
FAQ1: If I’m a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT. For candidates who are re-takers, we recommend that you join our regular Jc2 Tuition classes as we will all be focused on preparing for our A-levels that year.
FAQ2: If I’m a private candidate doing the A-Levels for the first time, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You’ll need to do 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 content subject, GP and MT. Total 6 subjects.
FAQ3: If I’m a private candidate, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into an overseas university like in the UK or Australia?
Most overseas universities accept just 3 H2 subjects. Even GP is not needed. However some universities may expect a fourth subject, which can be a H1 or H2 subject, but it is safer to take a H2 subject.
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, IGCSE). School candidates who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome.

O-LEVEL PRIVATE CANDIDATES
RETAKING YOUR O-LEVELS? 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, IGCSE).
Note: Our practical fees are lowest for practicals done in the Jan-Mar period. So sign up now!
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 (in govt sec schools, IP schools and JCs) who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome, as you seldom get to complete a full practical in school (1.5 hrs for Combined Science practical exam, 1hr 50 min for Pure Science practicals, and 2hr 30 min for H2 practicals), 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES
The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around mid-April (Please check SEAB website) and closes before mid-May. If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. Thus you must begin your science practical training before April. Science practical training in Singapore Learner qualifies as practical training for the purpose of registration for Science subjects for the ‘A’ and ‘O’ level exams.
Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you must register with us and complete at least 4 basic practical sessions for each subject by 31st April for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. As students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals, the rest of the lab sessions can be done from May to early October, including the prelim/mock practical exams.
