These are what I covered this week:
S4 A. Math: We started on Differentiation – Idea of limits and the derivative, dy/dx, power rule. Students find it interesting that we can determine the gradient at a point on a curve without drawing a tangent.
S4 Physics: We started on Static Electricity – the idea of charge, the coulomb, insulators, conductors, charging by friction, charging by induction, charging by contact, earthing, electric fields, applications of electrostatics. Unfortunately textbooks, don’t cover much about what happens when a charged insulator touches another insulator, when an insulator touches a conductor (either is charged), and when a conductor touches another conductor (either or both initially charged).
S3 A.Math: We revised the beginnings of Logarithms a bit as a new student has just joined. Conversion of index form to log form and vice versa, base e and base 10.
S3 Physics: We revised Kinematics because of a new student – distance vs displacement, speed vs velocity, deceleration vs negative acceleration, scalars and vectors, kinematics formulae.

===============================================================
ORIGINAL POST(OUTDATED):
From my experience as a Physics teacher and tutor, Sec 4 students need a systematic way of revising their Sec 3 Physics topics for their SA1 or first Prelim exam. Thus I will be conducting the following 3-hr workshops at my home centre for Sec 4 Physics students (for registration, sms or call 97860411):
Level/Subject: S4 Pure Physics
Day/Time: Saturdays, 4 pm to 7 pm ( 3hrs)
Location: Blk 627 Bukit Batok Central #07-640
Dates: 6, 13, 20, 27 April
Topics: 6 Apr – Measurement & Kinematics; 13 Apr – Forces, Mass, Weight & Density; 20 Apr – Moments, Energy, Work & Power; 27 Apr – Pressure.
Target Group: This series of revision workshops is suitable for low to medium ability Sec 4 or Sec 3 Physics students who need to revise their Physics in a systematic and effective way.
Focus: Conceptual Understanding, Solving Challenging or Tricky Physics Problems, Exam-Answering Techniques.
Format: Lecture + Worksheets + Discussions
Fees: $360 for whole revision package (inclusive of refreshments and materials)
Class Size: 2 to 8 students.
Tutor: Mr Ilyasa; M.Ed (NIE), PGDE (NIE), BSc (NUS), Ex-RI/RJC; ex-sch teacher, full-time tutor of PSLE, O and A Level Math and Physics. (h/p: 97860411)
A former secondary school Physics teacher, Mr Ilyasa has been coaching students in ‘A’ Level (H2/H1) Physics and (H2/H1) Mathematics for more than 7 years, as well as ‘O’ Level Physics, Additional Math, Math and PSLE Math for more than 10 years. An alumnus of RI and RJC, Mr Ilyasa holds a Bachelor of Science degree with Merit from the National University of Singapore, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education with Credit from the National Institute of Education, Singapore, and a Master of Education (Curriculum & Teaching) degree also from the NIE, Singapore.
