Chemistry is all around us. It explains how the universe works, the properties of all matter and how each one interacts with another. It is also the heart of medical science, helping us surge ahead in research and develop life-saving medications that enable us to have a better way of life.

Not just that, but the career opportunities that a chemistry discipline gives us are extensive. From the medical to scientific fields, being an expert in chemistry opens numerous doors and paves the way for a successful career.

However, chemistry isn’t an easy subject, and when it gets to JC chemistry, it gets even trickier. That’s when private tuition comes in. At Private Tutor SG, we strive to cultivate a genuine curiosity and love for the subject, with the ultimate goal being to ace those all-important ‘A’ Levels!

At Private Tutor SG, our JC chemistry tuition lessons focus on developing critical thinking abilities further, offering customised lesson plans to suit each student’s individual learning pace and style. It reinforces fundamental concepts and continues to build a rock-solid foundation for more advanced topics that lie up ahead.

Our dedicated team of tutors have an arsenal of teaching methodologies to optimise the learning curve of each student, regardless of level. Through interactive lessons, real-world examples and applications, experimentation, and continuous assessments and feedback, we’ll ensure each student has a thorough understanding of the subject, which usually means an increased interest in learning and eventually, dramatic improvements in grades.

Our Private Chemistry Tutors

Our family of tutors are extremely qualified with all having at least a Bachelor’s Degree in a Chemistry discipline. Many tutors also hold a post-graduate degree like a Master’s or a PhD and teach chemistry at a more advanced level like a Polytechnic Diploma or a vocational qualification.

We have full-time and part-time tutors, which may include MOE and ex-MOE teachers, who are familiar with the Singapore school syllabus. In addition, our tutors are also selected based on other traits such as attitude, versatility, creativity, teaching methodologies, and proven track records.

Our Educational Philosophy and Approach for Chemistry Tutoring

We pride ourselves in providing all our students with an engaging and supportive environment for them to be their best.

At Private Tutor SG, we believe that each student has the capacity to excel in any given subject, if given the right guidance, motivation, and support. We do not teach by rote or memorisation, but strive to foster a deep understanding of the subject. By understanding the subject, a student’s interest is often piqued, which leads to a healthy sense of curiousity, love of learning, greater effort, and ultimately more success.

Our approach is completely student-centric, focusing on the needs of the student rather than the expected syllabus, which is secondary. If the student is happy, driven to learn more and is confident in his or her abilities, academic success follows 99.99% of the time. With a genuine appreciation for the wonder of chemistry and logic behind the world we live in, students generally ace the subject without tedious work or tiresome (and unsustainable) memorisation.

Why Have Private Chemistry Tuition

Customised Teaching Methods

The Singapore school system is excellent, but it isn’t perfect. One such imperfection is taking for granted that all students learn the same way. In a class of 20 to 30 students, it is difficult for the teacher to develop a lesson plan to suit students with all kinds of learning styles. However, in private tuition lessons, each student can be matched with a complementary teaching methodologies of each tutor.

For example, a tutor that enjoys teaching by experimentation or giving real-life examples can be matched with a student that learns the same way. However, a student who prefers learning by theoretical knowledge or another that has a brilliant memory and likes learning by memorisation might not suit the same tutor.

Common Challenges When Learning Chemistry

1. Lacking A Strong Foundation

In JC Chemistry, students would have taken and passed ‘O’ Level chemistry, which means they have an adequate foundation on which a more advanced subject can be built. However, JC chemistry is a whole different ballgame. With more complex topics, countless formulas and equations, and difficult concepts, a solid foundation is more important than ever.

If there were any gaps in knowledge in secondary levels, it WILL show up at the Junior College level. With a private tutor, any mistakes or gaps are thoroughly addressed before moving on to the required syllabus to ensure that the student understands completely and is ready to move on to more complex topics.

2. School’s Teaching Style

In a standard school classroom, teachers have to teach a somewhat one-size-fits-all lesson which delivers the required syllabus. However, not all students will suit this way of teaching, as some are more hands-on, and some are more the learning-by-doing type, and these types of learners might find traditional classes ineffective.

With private tuition, the tutor is dedicated to tailoring a lesson plan that suits each student’s unique learning style, therefore, optimising the learning curve and maximising results. From tools like interactive games, audio files, experiments, and real-life examples, they can painstakingly craft each lesson to retain the interest and attention of their student.

3. Self-Confidence

Making mistakes and failing is hard enough, but doing so in a classroom full of your peers and friends can be infinitely harder, especially with students with esteem issues. If one has an intense fear of failure, making a mistake in front of a group of people can lead to extreme anxiety and that individual might not even try.

As an adage goes “never try, never know”, which rings true to studying subjects like chemistry. By fearing to fail, students that don’t try will be ineffective in learning the specific concept. For the majority of students, failing and making mistakes with just one person, a tutor, might be easier on the self-esteem.

4. Inadequate Resources

A school might have limited access to quality learning materials and resources, which in turn, hampers the development of the students. By acquiring multiple tests, exams, and notes from other schools, preferably the top ones in Singapore, you can broaden a student’s perspective and develop a more extensive knowledge base from multiple sources of information.

At Private Tutor SG, we strive to acquire as much material as we can from top schools and share them freely between tutors and their students. We believe sharing is caring, and all our students will benefit from the extensive range of exclusive notes, exams, and test that we acquire in recent years.
