TRIAL LESSON (1-1, 1 hour, in-centre or online)
Costs of a one-off 1-hr trial lesson for Y1-Y4 is $120. Trial class timings will be arranged based on our discretion and assessment of your child’s needs.
A trial lesson serves as a diagnostics for your child, by looking into his/her previous schoolwork, exam papers, as well as watching how they respond to the lecture and tutorial content. From there, as a parent, you can decide whether the tutor and teaching-style is suitable for your child, and whether 1-1 tuition or group tuition meets your child’s learning needs.

BACKGROUND OF TUTORS:
Mr Ilyas: An NIE-trained Teacher, Mr Ilyas has been coaching students in IP Math, IP Physics and IP Chemistry for more than 10 years. An alumnus of Raffles Institution, Mr Ilyas holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the NUS as well as a Master of Education (Curriculum & Teaching) degree from the National Institute of Education. Mr Ilyas’ thinking and metacognitive approaches to problem solving has helped many students of varying abilities to excel in Math and the Sciences. He has coached students from many different schools and streams, including IP, SAP, and IB.
Ms Tang: Ms Tang graduated from NTU with a B.Eng in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. She has been teaching students in O level and IP Chemistry, Physics and Biology, as well as International school students in IGCSE and IB Math and Sciences since 2009. An effective and caring tutor, she uses analogies and diagrams to explain and classify things for easier memorization; identifying and correcting students’ misconceptions and assumptions, understanding what students are confused about, and helping them to see where they have gone wrong. Ms Tang has helped many students achieve their desired results.
Syllabus guideline for IP Y1 – Y2 Science
As there are already many sources of knowledge widely available from school, commercially or online, such as lecture notes, cheat sheets and even videos, our focus is on METACOGNITIVE THINKING SKILLS. An IP student must not just have knowledge and thinking skills; to stay ahead of his peers, he must also possess efficient study skills and metacognitive awareness of what he has learnt.
As the IP curriculum is not standardized across IP schools, and due to the fact that every child learns differently, the main mode of tuition that we offer to IP students is 1-1 INDIVIDUAL TUITION (in-centre or online), for the following subjects: Y1-Y6 Math, Y1-Y2 Science, Y3-Y6 Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This mode of tuition is ideal for struggling students who need maximum attention and in-depth coaching.
For those who prefer group tuition, we offer PERSONALISED GROUP TUITION (in-centre only), where the students are mentored individually in a group setting. This mode of tuition not only has lower fees but is also ideal for students who just need some mentoring and consultations. It is also suitable for busy students who need a higher availability of make-up lessons.
For Revision, Learn Ahead, Bridging, Re-Learning and Crash courses, we offer FOCUSED GROUP TUITION (same level same subject) (in-centre or online) where students will be engaged in effective learning and problem-solving through metacognitive class discussions.
