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).

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. 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 for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. Please note students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals.

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.

H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
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 are also welcome.

H2 CHEMISTRY HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE
H2 BIOLOGY HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE
H2 PHYSICS HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE
MOE/SEAB SYLLABUS FOR H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
Paper 4 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the Higher 2 assessment.
Candidates are expected to have been exposed to a range of topics and experimental techniques such as:
- Titration, e.g. acid-base titration (using suitable indicators such as methyl orange, screened methyl orange, thymolphthalein, and thymol blue), redox titration, iodimetric titration, indirect titration, including the preparation of standard solutions. Other types of titrations may also be required.
- Gravimetric analysis, e.g. volatilization gravimetry
- Gas collection
- Thermochemistry, including thermometric titration
- Chemical kinetics, e.g. continuous and initial rate methods
- Qualitative Inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture. Systematic analysis will not be required. Candidates should be familiar with the reactions of cations, anions, and tests of gases as detailed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes. Reactions involving ions not included in the QA notes may be tested: in such cases, candidates will not be expected to identify the ions but only to draw conclusions of a general nature. Candidates should not attempt tests, other than those specified, on substances, except when it is appropriate to test for a gas.
- Qualitative inorganic analysis requiring a knowledge of simple organic reactions e.g. test-tube reactions indicating the presence of unsaturation ( C = C), alcoholic, phenolic, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino groups, may be tested, but this would be for the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only
- Simple organic synthesis and purification, including use of water bath, setting up and the use of reflux and distillation apparatus
OUR STRUCTURED PRACTICAL TRAINING SYSTEM
Based on the above syllabus, we have several structured programs for you, depending on whether you are a Beginner or a Reviser.
You are at the Beginner level if you have never done any Chemistry Practical work before, or your last Chemistry Practical session was more than 2 years ago.
You are at the Reviser level if you have completed the Beginner practicals, or you are re-taking your Chemistry Practical exam, or you are a school candidate who has completed JC1/Y5.

CIE SYLLABUS FOR CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
Paper 3 (Practical) is weighted to 23% of the total CIE AS Level assessment.
One question will be an observational problem in which the candidate will be asked to investigate an unknown substance or substances by specified experiments. The substances may be elements, compounds or mixtures. Candidates will be expected to record their observations, analyse their results and draw appropriate conclusions.
The other question or questions will be quantitative: either volumetric analysis or measurement of a quantity, e.g. the enthalpy change of a reaction, mass change on heating, changing the rate of a reaction or measuring a gas volume. Candidates will be expected to draw suitable tables, graphs and other appropriate means of presenting the data. They will analyse the data, perform calculations and draw appropriate conclusions from them.
One or more of the questions may require candidates to comment on the accuracy of the procedure or identify sources of error and make suggestions for change.
Candidates should be able to:
• set up apparatus
• follow instructions given in the form of written instructions or diagrams
• use their apparatus to collect an appropriate quantity of data or observations, including subtle differences in colour, solubility or quantity of materials
• make measurements using pipettes, burettes, measuring cylinders, thermometers and other common laboratory apparatus.
It will be assumed that candidates will be familiar with the following qualitative analysis reactions
(i) the reactions of the following cations: NH4 + , Mg2+, Al 3+, Ca2+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ba2+
(ii) the reactions of the following anions: CO3 2–, NO3 – , NO2 – , SO4 2–, SO3 2–, Cl – , Br– , I –

Tough IP Maths question: Indices and Surds
This is an example of how a typical IP school paper can supercharge a basic topic like Indices and Surds in Y3.
