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.


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.


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 are strongly advised to 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.

O-level tuition for Integrated Programme students who dropped to O-level stream

Every End of Year, some Integrated Programme students who are struggling will be given an option by the school to either retain, or drop to the O-level stream. For students who have dropped to the O-level stream, these classes are specifically crafted to train you to become a top student in the O-levels and regain your confidence.

IP schools who have a dual track system for O-levels and IP will recommend their struggling students to drop to the OP stream. For schools that are pure IP, there will be a talk given by school management and the student will be transferred to a special O-level class.

Here is our value proposition for IP students who have dropped to O-levels:

  1. Specific class structure catered to their needs. A pre-assessment will be done with the student to determine their current readiness level and how to address the missing gaps in knowledge, as well as to timetable their curriculum to prepare them for the O-levels. The typical IP student will skip or do some topics in advance, so these special classes are designed with them in mind such that we can address these needs and successfully prepare them to be an O-level top scorer, keeping in mind what they have covered in their IP years and their specific needs. The class is also designed to be small to build their confidence back up and for them to readily ask questions without judgment.
  2. The IP stream usually structures their assessment for practical/lab work in their sciences as a formative assessment instead of a full lab test. However, in the O-levels, the practical component is 15% of the final grade. This leaves IP students underprepared for the O-level practical component, given that they do not have sufficient practice for labwork at all under test conditions, and the lack of exposure will result in them losing significant marks if they are not confident in using their hands. Our centre is specifically designed with labwork in mind, and able to cater to practical mock tests or training at any student count per class. Without discount, each O-level practical is $190. An untrained student needs about 10 sessions per subject. Roughly once a month practical for each subject. As a student enrolled under SL’s theory classes, we offer a generous 50% discount for all practical training in Sciences for the O-level.
  3. We have experienced tutors who are familiar handling such students. As a specialized IP and practical centre, we have been catering to such students since the Integrated Programme has started back in the mid 2000s. We provide a safe and positive learning environment for students to train for the O-levels and be back on their feet in no time.

SEC 3 PHYSICS TOPICAL RELEARNING (Nov-Dec)

Posted in EDUCATIONAL ADVICE

SCIENCE (PHYSICS) HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE

We have two kinds of crash courses: BASIC and REVISION.

BASIC CRASH COURSE – for beginners or students who have been out of touch with science practicals. Features: slower pace of teaching, more teacher demonstrations and hand-holding. Focus is on how to set up the apparatus, using instruments correctly, recording, tabling and graphing.

PREDICTIVE REVISION CRASH COURSE – for students who need a refresher course or guided extra practice for science practicals, such as retakers, government school students or graduates of our Basic Crash Course. Features:  Quick recap on how to use instruments correctly, and what examiners look for in students’ recordings, tables and graphs. More discussions on sources of error, important or predicted topics, difficult experiments and Planning (if applicable).

The two courses above consist of different experiments, thus students may attend both the Basic and Revision crash courses, followed by mock exams if needed.


Topics: Mechanics, Light, Electricity

Skills and Content for Mechanics: How to draw a good table and how to record data with correct units and decimal places; How to assign the correct number of significant figures for calculated data; How to plot a good graph with appropriate scales and axes; How to draw a best-fit straight line or curve and how to calculate gradients; Hands-on practice with Oscillation experiment.

Skills and Content for Light: Hands-on practice with Light experiment involving a thin converging lens or a glass block. Revision on sources of error for common experiments; How to identify and properly describe sources of error.

Skills and Content for Electricity: Quick revision on how to use various electrical apparatus such as the ammeter, voltmeter, rheostat and potentiometer with hands-on practice via an Electricity Experiment.
