Physics is another foundational science that lays the groundwork for our understanding of our world and the laws that it abides by. Not only does it pave the way for more complex disciplines like engineering and quantum mechanics, but it also helps us comprehend the world in which we live.
Through physics, we will understand the principles of motion, energy, and forces, which will help us, as a civilization, strive for greater technological advancements and progress. Not only will we more deeply understand the intricate workings of our physical environment, but we will also develop problem-solving skills and analytical thinking that can stay with us for a lifetime, giving us an advantage in our professional lives.
However, physics is also one of those subjects that is difficult to understand if you’re unfortunate enough to lag behind. That’s where private physics tuition comes in! At Private Tutor SG, we pride ourselves in providing top-notch tuition services, whether in person or online, with our key priority being helping all our students be the best that they can be!
Types of Physics Tuition Offered
Secondary School
Whether pure or combined physics, our program starts with Upper Secondary School students who are preparing for their ‘O’ Levels, ‘N’ Levels, or in the Integrated Program (IP).
Building a solid foundation, students are schooled on basic principles such as Kinematics, Dynamics, Energy, Waves, Electricity, and Magnetism.
Junior College
JC Physics tuition encompasses both H1 and H2 physics in preparation for ‘A’ Levels. Key topics include Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Quantum Physics, and Electromagnetism.
Secondary School Mother Tongue
Knowledge of a second language is a privilege, and thankfully, the Singapore school syllabus makes us all effectively bilingual. Whether students choose to learn Chinese, Malay, or Tamil, the Mother Tongue is a crucial subject that plays a vital role in teaching and preserving culture and a sense of community. In secondary school, the curriculum becomes more advanced and focuses on higher levels of language proficiency including comprehension, essay writing skills, literature, and cultural appreciation.
Some students might experience difficulties with the more complex language lessons, especially if they speak predominantly English with their family and friends. Our team of experienced language tutors can help bridge knowledge gaps and promote a better understanding of the language and culture!
International Syllabus
For the more advanced students, a team of elite, carefully selected tutors offer physics tuition at the IGCSE, Polytechnic, and University levels.
Tutor Qualifications
Our team of Physics tutors is not only selected based on academic qualifications but also on soft skills such as teaching style, proven track record, patience, kindness, and adaptability.
With qualifications that range from Bachelor’s Degrees to PhDs, the highly-qualified team can teach on various levels from Secondary School, Junior College, IB, and tertiary.
In addition, the vast majority of our tutors are currently registered with MOE or are ex-MOE teachers, which means they know the traditional school syllabus and exam formats like the back of their hand.
This gives you or your child a significant advantage when it comes to holding their own in class or getting better Physics grades for their examinations!
Why Choose Private Physics Tutors?
So why would you need private physics tuition? Aren’t the regular school classroom sessions enough?
Common Challenges Faced By Physics Students
Physics isn’t an easy subject and understanding it can be challenging due to its many complex concepts and mathematical nature.
Many advanced Physics concepts such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and electromagnetism are difficult to understand, especially if the basic foundation in forces and energy are lacking.
Our professional physics tutors are trained to provide real-life examples so that students find it easier to associate everyday occurrences with complex concepts, making learning Physics way easier.
Physics involves a significant amount of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, and trigonometry, which can be intimidating for students who are lacking in math.
Knowing something in theory is nothing like feeling and experiencing it in real life. Applying theoretical knowledge requires a deep understanding of real-life scenarios which some students can find challenging.
To bridge the gap, students can conduct hands-on experiments and relate the results to their theoretical knowledge.
Once students see that theoretical knowledge can help in practical applications, their interest in the subject might grow, and with it comes a steeper learning curve and eventually, better grades!
The schedule of an Upper Secondary, JC, or tertiary student is a full one! With numerous subjects, extensive reading and homework, and other out-of-school activities, it can be difficult to find time for Physics tuition classes.
Adequate preparation and practice are essential to build a strong, solid foundation of physics and to allocate more time to master the subject. Sitting for past tests and exams is also time-consuming, but practice makes perfect!
Frequently asked questions
Depending on the level that each can teach, the best physics tutors should have a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree.
Many of our top-level tutors also have post-graduate degrees such as PhD in the field of physics.
In addition to academic qualifications, a Singapore Physics tutor should also have other soft skills such as adaptable teaching methods, improvisation, patience, and an encouraging demeanor.
One-on-one tuition class has been proven to have more impact on grades and academic success because of the personalized attention and custom lesson plans it allows. However, some students do best in a collaborative, conducive learning environment and can thrive in group tuition lessons.
Nothing is guaranteed, but a vast majority of students who have quality Physics tuition have been statistically proven to have higher Physics grades.
Drop us a note here and let us know your requirements. We’ll get you matched with the perfect tutor and you can begin a trial lesson at your convenience!
You can take an active role in your child’s education by sitting in on short portions of their tuition lessons to get a rough idea of your child’s dissatisfaction. If you feel it would be necessary to change tutor, we’d gladly match you up with someone else with a different teaching style, free of charge of course!
