SAFER TO BE OVER-PREPARED THAN UNDER-PREPARED
Are you sufficiently prepared to achieve the grade you are targeting, or do you sometimes feel lost?
Also, it has been often proven that the actual exam questions require application answers that were never taught nor mentioned during school lessons.
In almost every exam that you have taken, you have seen that the actual exam poses questions requiring concepts and solutions that were never taught or mentioned during school lessons.
School teachers also sometimes help students ‘spot topics’, which at times result in a rude shock when topics that were not ‘spotted’ come up during school tests or the major national exams like the PSLE, GCE O Levels, and the GCE A Levels.
DIFFICULT ACADEMIC CONTENT
When you are preparing for crucial tests and exams, the sheer amount of information to take in may seem intimidating.
At times, school lessons might rush through crucial content, making it hard for you to grasp the concept thoroughly.
Students need teachers who can teach in a fun and entertaining way, and better yet, who were top students themselves and know the more effective methods to studying.
DEPENDABLE TUTORS CAN HELP YOU SUCCEED
Our experienced tutors ensure that you are equipped with a thorough understanding of every topic – at a pace you are comfortable with – before you set foot into the examination hall.
HIRING THE RIGHT TUTOR IS VERY IMPORTANT
In the Singaporean education system, it is the grades that you get at every test and exam that will determine your entry into the next level.
It isn’t as simple as just practicing more questions.
The MOE has structured the curriculum such that each chapter has a range of content and questions that test different skills.
The difference between a top scorer and an average student lies in the ability to integrate and apply these skills.
That’s what gives the “A” students a huge advantage over the rest of the cohort.
Now is the time for you to stop guessing what your examiner wants, and to start presenting your answers in a way that examiners LIKE, so that you can score full marks!
Our tutors will explain in detail how you can structure answers that will please even the most fussy examiner.
THE BEST TYPE OF TUTORS
The best tutors describe information very clearly, and they are able to link up concepts effortlessly.
They teach you how to apply theory to higher-order thinking questions.
The notes are structured and organized according to the examination syllabus and marking scheme so that you can gain knowledge in the shortest possible time.
Experienced and effective tutors will help you prepare comprehensive concept notes so that basic concepts can be strengthened.
Less experienced tutors…well, sometimes what they teach can confuse their students even more.

GETTING GOOD GRADES IS NOT DIFFICULT
There are no mysterious secrets to being able to do well in school.
Whether or not you can do well in your homework, projects and exams really just boils down to one thing.
And that one thing is that you have to master the Art of Logical Reasoning.
Logical Reasoning is the ability to:
Master content – and not just memorize randomly
Understand what the question is asking for – so that you can clearly State and Explain, Explain How, and Describe and Explain
Learn how to APPLY theory to higher-order thinking questions
ACHIEVE YOUR TARGET GRADES
Parents often approach us with one common problem – despite spending many hours studying hard, their children are not able to achieve the targeted grades.
Even though the students take careful notes and memorize the prescribed text, the grades remain weak.
This happens because answering exam questions requires knowledge of the concepts and having the right technique of answering them.
Our experienced tutors are familiar with the exam marking schemes and can teach you how to identify key information, retain important knowledge and be highly skilled at applying the content even when the questions are unexpectedly difficult.
We help you develop a fresh perspective and clearer understanding on seemingly complex principles.
Hundreds of students these recent months have achieved improved grades because of our tutors.
And if they can, so can you!
WHY ARE OUR TUTORS SO EXCEPTIONAL
Our tutors have what it takes to teach. Students need tutors who can teach in a fun and entertaining way, and better yet, who were top students themselves and know the effective and proven methods to studying.
It is the delivery and the precision of the tutor that really matters.
Have you ever had 2 or teachers teach you the same subject? We are sure you have, and your experience tells you that good teachers are clear and able to link up concepts effortlessly, while poor teachers themselves seem very lost and not very knowledgeable.
Getting things right as soon as possible is critical to achieving the most desirable outcome in your final examination.
Our tutors coach students on the fastest and most effective way to score A’s.
Why can our tutors do this? Because they have many years of tutoring experience, and they had themselves done very well in that subject throughout the years when they were students.
They can show you their own A grades!

Save time by learning the correct techniques, and gain valuable examination tips within a short period.
FRESH PERSPECTIVES. LEARN THE EASY WAY
When preparing for your exams – or even when you are just doing your homework and projects – the sheer amount of information we need to take in can seem intimidating.
At times, the school teacher rushes through the content a bit too quickly, making it difficult for you to completely grasp the important points.
To do well, you must focus on understanding the concepts and how to apply that knowledge, rather than rote memorization.
Our tutors personalize the content and help you develop a clearer understanding on seemingly complex principles.
You will develop effective methods to explain phenomena, approach and solve problems in the subjects you are weakest at.

EXPERIENCED TUTORS FOR BIOLOGY
Known as the Natural Science, Biology involves the study of life and living organisms at the molecular and cellular levels.
This includes their chemical and physical structures, functions, development, evolution and interaction with the natural environment.
Students learn about Biology from the time they are in primary school, where Biology is taught as a general science.
Biology is then progressively taught in secondary school, with all its branches like genetics, anatomy, zoology and botany.
Biology majors learn to be precise, systematic, and detail oriented as they carry out their research and laboratory projects.
The skills that Biology majors acquire can be applied to both scientific and non-scientific jobs after graduation.
Even though some Biological concepts are initially difficult to grasp, the reward in terms of obtaining good grades and a subsequent high-paying career can make all the effort worth it.

EXPERIENCED TUTORS FOR CHEMISTRY
We all do Chemistry every day!
Chemistry affects the food that we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the air and the medicine/vitamins that we take.
Chemistry explains how soap and shampoo keep us clean, why an egg changes when we fry or boil it, why an autumn leaf turns red and why perfumes smell the way they do.
Chemistry is known as the Central Science.
It bridges other natural sciences like Physics and Mathematics, Biology and Medicine, and the Earth and Geology/Environmental Sciences.
Chemistry is the study of the structure and properties of matter and substances – and the reactions that change them into other substances.
The behavior of atoms, molecules, and ions determines the sort of world we live in, our shapes and sizes, and even how we feel on a given day.
And really, everything (including us) is made out of atoms and chemical compounds.
Even though some Chemistry concepts are initially difficult to grasp, the reward in terms of obtaining good grades and a subsequent high-paying career can make all the effort worth it.

And, studies have shown that Mandarin speakers do use both sides of their brains!

EXPERIENCED TUTORS FOR GENERAL PAPER
Every year, just as there are hundreds of students who score As for General Paper at the A Levels, there are also many students who find GP to be difficult.
Papers 1 and 2 are challenging, but it is definitely possible to score distinctions and attain a good pass.
A well-written General Paper essay is imbued with a wide variety of exemplifications that are written by someone who is well-read and is capable of insightful and reflective persuasive writing.
You also need to read, comprehend, infer, summarize and paraphrase sentences from essays written by intellectuals, journalists, scientists, politicians, philosophers and leaders in their respective fields.
Some of what they write may or may not agree with your own value systems. Or, their concepts are totally new (and foreign) to you.
Many students have difficulty with the Application Question at the end of the Comprehension section, because students have to relate the main ideas of the passage to the Singaporean context.
And you have to convincingly argue in your analysis if the thoughts and opinions of the author are relevant, applicable and valid when seen from a local perspective.
One of the ways to excel in General Paper is to have a strong understanding of how our world works.
We need to be familiar with the major disparate issues that affects us all – society, economics, politics, business, history, the arts, the environment and their interrelationships.
General Paper trains us to be precise, systematic, and detail oriented as we carry out our research and case study projects.
The skills that General Paper majors acquire can be applied to diverse corporate/job environments after graduation.
Even though some concepts are initially difficult to grasp, the reward in terms of obtaining good grades and a subsequent high-paying career can make all the effort worth it.

EXPERIENCED TUTORS FOR HISTORY
History is fascinating because it takes us back into the times of kings, princesses, horses, warriors, geniuses, wars, inventions and discoveries.
We live in the present. We want to plan for and worry about the future.
History, however, is the study of the past.
History is a great subject to study; you just have to take the broader view of what is valuable in your life.
For example, there is scientific evidence that evolution is what has enabled society to transform to its current state.
Can this past evidence be used to determine future evolutions?
This is something that History students have to enquire everyday as they interact with the past.
History is important for young students to learn because it helps them to connect the past with the present and understand the direction that society is taking for the future.
History also helps young learners to understand different cultures.
Even though some History concepts are initially difficult to grasp, the reward in terms of obtaining good grades and a subsequent high-paying career can make all the effort worth it.

Because each of the other natural sciences biology, chemistry, geology, material science, medicine, engineering, and others, work with systems which adhere to the laws of physics, physics is often referred to as the “Fundamental Science”.
Approximately 5000 years ago, the Chinese were the first to use magnetic energy. They relied upon the pull of magnetic iron objects to guide navigators and, thanks to the Earth’s magnetic field, point them in the direction of north.
About 2500 years ago, the Greek philosopher Thales was credited with discovering electrical energy. By rubbing fur against a piece of amber, Thales found that dust and other particles clung to the amber with what is known as an electrostatic force.
Physics is the study of the fundamental elements of the universe: energy and matter.
Physics investigates how the universe began, what it consists of, how it changes and according to what rules.
Physicists explore the skies to find distant worlds, and watch changes in the atmosphere to forecast the weather.
They search the ocean floor and beneath it to find minerals, and smash atoms to find energy resources and new methods to diagnose disease.
