MASTER KEY CONCEPTS IN O-level PHYSICS IN UNDER 24 HOURS
Dear S4 students,
If you had not done well in your physics prelims, this is a good opportunity to take action and begin intensive preparation for your O-levels. Our tutors at Singapore Learner have come up with a holiday crash course program that covers all the topics in physics with the highest weightage and difficulty, in order to ensure that you get the grade which you deserve.
Our topical classes cover the full range of O-level physics, and are designed to equip you with the appropriate skills and knowledge to excel in your O-level physics paper.
Students will fully master techniques such as the free body diagram, summation of resistances in circuits, as well as the fleming’s hand rule, and many more. A strong foundation in O-level physics is important for students who are interested to work in the field of science and technology in the future, as well as to prepare them to master new physics concepts in JC or polytechnic, which require deep knowledge in physics. In just under 2.5hours each lesson, we will go through the key concepts in important topics, the common pitfalls or misconceptions, as well as popular O-level questions.
Do not miss this golden opportunity and sign up with us now!
