At times, when students are taking tuition for Physics, they may feel lost as to what to do or how to study. This article outlines some suggestions for students who are unsure where to begin and what to ask their tutor to improve in the subject of Physics. Firstly, one…
Students in secondary school encountering Physics for the first time may find it a daunting task. Not only are there many formulas to understand and remember, but things like forces and light and waves may be difficult to visualise as they are not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, students…
One of the worst styles of revising for O Level Physics is blindly memorising the concepts, formulas, or past questions and going into the exam to apply this knowledge. Examiners will more often than not change the questions slightly from existing questions, and a memorising approach will not do the…
For many students in Singapore, sitting for the Physics practical examination may be a nerve-racking experience for many good reasons, such as a lack of practice. Students may not have the opportunity to access practices for practical exams as often as they like compared to other papers, resulting in a…
Many students struggle with grasping concepts in Physics, especially if they struggle with other related subjects such as Mathematics. Here are some tips on how to improve a student’s understanding of Physics at the secondary school and Junior College level! Visualisation of Physics Concepts Visualising the concepts in real life…
Every parent in Singapore has possibly undergone the headache of selecting a tutor for their children. This article seeks to focus on the five things parents should take into account when choosing a Physics tutor for their child to ensure that they perform the best in school. How is the…

Memory work is essential not only in the humanities subjects, but also in math and science, such as Physics. There are many Physics formulae that have to be memorized as a formula sheet is not provided in exams. There are also specific problem solving strategies that have to be remembered….
If you approach any Physics student revising to either catch up with the school syllabus or for their school exams and ask them what is the single most important thing that they will need to keep in mind to do well in their Physics exam, 8 out of 10 students…
Every student wants to get that highly coveted A1 for Physics. You might think that only the really smart ones are privileged enough to get A1s, or you may assume that you will need to do an insane amount of work before you have any hope of achieving that. But…
I have often been asked the question: How do you study Physics? The trite answers, get as much practice as possible, and be consistent with your school work, are well known to everyone. I think when people ask me the question “How do you study Physics?”, what they really mean…
Textbooks for our school children have become much better over the years. Nowadays, authors are adept at using pretty illustrations, mind maps, and clear language to convey Physics concepts. Many of our brighter students are even able to use MOE-approved textbooks for self-study before the teacher covers the material in…
I strongly believe that zoom lectures are the new normal. When educators learn how to deliver lectures with the same degree of effectiveness as in a traditional classroom setting, many students will want to attend classes remotely.
Schools and universities increasingly require their instructors to be equipped to conduct online classes, regardless whether it is for Physics or other subjects. These are list of essential materials and equipment you will need to have.
