At The Education Lab, we are seeking to combine the best of both options to provide access to our professional full-time teachers for parents who want home tuition. We have a department that specializes only in tutoring physics, and we would like to think we’re pretty good at it (based on the results of the last 3 years of physics examination). Our tutors not only reinforce the writing and speaking of perfect physics, but also teach students the habits of critical reading and analysis, in particular for articles of opinion.
Since we have been teaching this subject for many years, we have understood how to train students to do very well in their final exams.
When is the best moment to start tuition in physics? We see most people starting their tuition from Secondary 3. The drastic jump from Sec 2 to Sec 3 causes the students to begin to worry about their performance in physics. That explains the high physics tuition needs for Sec 3.
In Sec 3, physics gets even tougher than those in lower secondary. Students entering sec 3 are unexpectedly bombarded with wordings they could never have heard of in their lives – kinetic model, rarefactions, electromagnetism, etc. For pure physics, the material delves deeper into definitions, with many needing a strong grasp of mathematical formulas.
Our teachers are able to structure lesson plans according to the needs of each student with a clear sense of what requires to be achieved. This is one of the reasons why our modular-lesson plans for physics are so useful, as teachers choose the lesson plans that precisely strengthen any student’s weaker areas.
There are many physics tuition teachers in Singapore but seeking a qualified tutor in this subject is considerably difficult. This is because almost all tutors in Singapore just speak physics to some degree, but very few tutors actually know how to speak perfect physics.
Teachers of physics courses at The Education Lab teach only physics and no other subjects. All teachers of physics are full-time teachers who only teach with The Education Center. Teachers will follow a set syllabus established by MOE teachers, and revised to MOE standards.
As a result, students that take our Physics classes (whether it’s 1-1 class or a small group class) tend to perform much better than their peers in the examinations. Most specifically, based on parental reviews, even after completing their examinations, our students continue to maintain their reading and critical analytic skills. That is what makes teaching physics much more worthwhile for us at The Education Lab.
