A-Level, A. Math, Ad hoc tuition, JC Math (H2/H1), JC Physics, PSLE Math

Short-term ad hoc Math or Physics coaching for Aug to Oct 2014.

Posted on August 6, 2014August 6, 2014 by admin

My experiment with ad hoc tuition in June was very successful, with many students of different levels, streams and abilities turning up in separate sessions to clarify their doubts in certain concepts or topics. Since exams are coming and some of you are too busy to attend weekly tuition, I will allocate a few slots a week for individual consultation and coaching in selected subjects. If you are still struggling with some subjects or topics, I would encourage you to set aside time these last few pre-exam weeks to consult a qualified and experienced tutor to improve your grades for your prelims and final exams.

If you need solid coaching in Pri, Sec or JC Math, or Sec or JC Physics, don’t hesitate to contact me at 97860411 and I’ll work out an arrangement for you. You may opt for individual tuition or in small groups of 2 to 4 students from the same class or school. Fees vary depending on the level and number of students, and whether it is on a weekday or a weekend. Students have to come to my centre.

My still available slots (as at 6 Aug 2014) for ad hoc tuition are as follows:

Mondays: 4.00 pm – 5.30 pm; Fridays: 4.30 pm – 6.00 pm; Mon to Thurs: 9.00 pm – 10.30 pm; Saturdays: 11.00 am – 12.30 pm; Sundays: 2.00 pm – 3.30 pm.

If you are a repeat or private student or a home schooler you may also come for consultations in the mornings.

If you need coaching in Sec or JC Chemistry, sessions can also be arranged with our Chemistry tutor.

If you have any queries, you may also call or sms to 97860411, or send an email to principal@singaporelearner.com.

If you are serious about improving your Math, Physics or Chemistry, hope to hear from you soon.

Rgds,

Ilyasa

Recommended Books

Recommended Books for ‘A’ Level Physics & Math

Posted on May 12, 2013February 28, 2021 by admin

MOCK EXAMS FOR SCIENCE PRACTICAL

JC Math

For students to master each topic in JC Math, I would recommend the following series of books:

1. Power Maths H1 & H2

Publisher: Tavern learning Centre; Author: P K Lim

It comes in four Volumes. Volume 1 provides notes and examples for Sequences & Series, Functions & Graphs and Calculus. Volume 2 provides notes and examples for Vectors, Complex Numbers and Statistics. Volumes 3 and 4 provide a variety of difficult questions and worked solutions for all six topics.

How to use these books?

Use Volumes 1 and 2 to learn the theories of each topic and analyse the examples to understand and remember how different types of problems are solved.

Use Volumes 3 and 4 to either learn new techniques (if you don’t have much time left to study for exams) or to do self-practice. For the latter, cover the solutions when you attempt to answer the questions and after that mark your own solutions by comparing them with the model answers. If your answers are incorrect, seek to understand where, how and why you got them wrong.

If you often find yourself not understanding some parts of the model answers, then, yes, you’d probably need to consult a tutor. But you can first try asking your school teachers or friends first.

JC Physics

For students to master each topic in JC Physics, I would recommend the following series of books:

1. Sears & Zemansky’s College Physics

Publisher: Pearson International Edition; Authors: Hugh D. Young, Robert M. Geller

This is a comprehensive reference book for A-level Physics. It is very informative but some of the worked examples are difficult to understand. But it is a must-have book for those of you who are very passionate about physics.

2. College Physics

Publisher: Brooks/Cole Cengage Learning; Author: Vuille, Serway

This book has worked examples that are easier to understand. It is also written in a simpler style which makes learning easier. A good reference book for JC Physics students to have.

3. Physics A Level Complete Yearly Solutions

Publisher: Themis Publishing; Authors: Thomas Bond, Chris Hughes

This book is good because of the examiners’ reports included in it. Students should read the examiners’ comments to know what is expected of them in answering A-Level Physics questions.

4. GCE ‘A’ Level Physics (Worked Solutions)(Classified Topic by Topic)

Publisher: Dyna Publisher Pte Ltd; Author: Phang Yu Hon

The answers to past A-Level questions provided in this book is generally better than those in other books; more comprehensive and more accurate. It is also excellent for providing answers to selected H3 Physics questions.

5. Physics A Level Challenging Drill Questions for H1. H2 (questions from top JCs)

Publisher: Cosmic Services; Authors: Thomas Bond, Chris Hughes

If students complete most of the questions in this book and mark their answers using the separate answer book, they will almost certainly get an ‘A’ for their A-level Physics.

6. Longman Advanced Level Physics

Publisher: Pearson Longman South Asia Pte Ltd; Author: Loo Kwok Wai

This book is actually a collection of A-Level Physics notes. It is good for beginning to intermediate level physics students as its many worked examples are gradual and easy to understand. Ideal for quick revision. Not comprehensive enough to be used as a reference text.
