MASTER KEY CONCEPTS IN O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY IN UNDER 24 HOURS
Dear S4 students,
If you had not done well in your chemistry prelims, this is a good opportunity to take action and begin intensive preparation for your O-levels. In just under 3 hours each lesson, we will go through the key concepts in important topics, the common pitfalls or misconceptions, as well as popular O-level questions. Our tutors at Singapore Learner have come up with a holiday crash course program that covers all the topics in Chemistry with the highest weightage and difficulty, in order to ensure that you get the grade which you deserve.
In our experience, students struggle with topics such chemical calculations, salts & qualitative analysis, electrolysis, energy changes & speed of reaction, as well as organic chemistry. A strong foundation in chemistry is required for students who are interested in working in the biomedical field, as well as to prepare you to master new chemistry concepts in JC or polytechnic, which require deep knowledge.

SEC 3 / O LEVEL MATH GRAPHING INTENSIVE RELEARNING & REVISION JUNE 2018
Many Sec3 or Sec4 students lack confidence in graphing/sketching questions. They waste
more than 15 minutes sketching a curve and might still get it wrong. Some students struggle to understand the purpose of such graphs and their applications, finding themselves unable to attempt most of the application questions for graphing.
This course will allow you to master graphing techniques and sketching, and effectively score full marks in this segment in your promotional exams or O-levels. There will be a focus on applications of linear graphs, sketching of quadratic graph (roots of equation, intercepts, min and max points), as well as tangent and normal to the curve.
By the end of this class, the student will learn how to:
-Apply the concept of gradients to solve problems
-Identify common graphing trends, shapes and problems
-Understand the significance of coordinate geometry and linear/quadratic graphs by relating it to
a linear/quadratic equation
-Effectively find variables such as the X and Y intercepts, asymptotes, maximum and minimum
points, as well as tangent to the curve
-Confidently and correctly sketch complex graphs in under 10minutes without supervision
-Use graphing to resolve problems such as simultaneous equations or log scale
-Systematically perform transformation of graphs without error
Our worksheets are selected based on past year questions from a variety of secondary
schools and standard O-level questions. During lessons, we provide tips or question
spotting based on trends observed in different schools.
Duration: 3 weeks, 2h each
Dates: Every Wednesday 6 June. 13 June and 20 June
Time: 430 pm – 630 pm
Location: Blk 644, Bukit Batok Central, #01-68. S(650644).

GENERAL PAPER JUNE HOLIDAYS PROGRAMME
General Paper Programme Outline
This is an intensive system designed to equip you with the essential tools needed.
Duration: 3 sessions (3hours each)
Course Levels available:
-
A) FOUNDATION BUILDING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades below C)
-
B) FINE-TUNING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades C and above. This course will skip fundamental work and zero-in on precision writing techniques)
*note: Course fees are identical for both programmes. Choose the one that best suits your immediate needs and circumstances.
—————————————————————————————————-
Overview of primary Components:
1) Essay writing techniques- Question choice & analysis, essay structures, formulating arguments, conveying ideas in effective writing- there are essays, and then there are exam-essays.
2) Comprehension skills- critical reading, question analysis, effective paraphrasing and AQ-mastery. Work-arounds and preparation before we even start reading the text is key!
3) Content- Cut down on the need to memorize tons of facts and statistics. Solutions to content-generating that will save you hours each day!
———————————————————————————————————–
Workshop structure:
Session 1: Essay writing
Dates: (Course A- May 30th/June 13th, Course B: June 6/21st )
From planning to execution. Using time effectively to maximise the quality of your essay: a step-by-step guide on how to tackle any question in Paper 1. Materials include a 101-essential checklist for every student, sample essays/paragraphs, discussion of examination questions to cover a broad range of topics/areas of focus.
Session 2: Comprehension
Dates: (Course A: May 31st/June 14th, Course B: June 7th/22nd )
Critical reading and prepping effectively to ensure the most coverage of the passage, as well as systematic addressing of the various question types. Paraphrasing techniques and practices will also be the focus as this skill is of core importance to this paper, and one many students overlook. Finally, deciphering the AQ- how to maximise marks in a time-pressured window. Materials will include a handout covering various question types, sample/excerpts from a wide range of JC examination papers, as well as sample AQs from past year Cambridge papers.
Session 3: Content
Dates: (Course A: June 1st/15th, Course B: June 8th/23rd)
General knowledge is key to scoring well. But often times, it is not the volume, but rather the quality, and application. Content-manipulation/generation can often dramatically cut back on hours spent memorising facts and stats for the mere sake of doing so. Students will be shown, through a variety of methodologies (mind-maps, issue-linking, thinking structures etc) how to prepare for the subject efficiently. Realising that topics/modules should never be approached as separate entities also falls in-line with the changing trends of GP questions set by Cambridge, where essay questions are often multi-faceted.
—————————————————————————————————–
Course take-homes:
LET’S MAKE THINKING FUN AGAIN
Appreciation of GP beyond just a subject, but rather gaining a set of skills that can be applied throughout various aspects of life and academia. Debunking myths such as “the more I know, the better I’ll do”, and finally, re-discovering the passion for learning over the need for studying.
Attendees of the workshop will also gain unlimited access to my web-blog, which houses a repository of articles, sample essays/AQ responses, as well as revision essentials.
