Looking for Physics Tuition in Singapore?

“We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.”~Galileo Galilei.

Physics: the key to unlock the secrets of the universe.

We live in a technologically advanced age, but the average person relies on advanced technology without understanding how it works. Much of this knowledge is contained within the discipline of Physics.

With physics, a student develops a ‘sense’ of wonder and curiosity about how things work. This motivation to learn is of paramount importance. A good Physics Tuition at the introductory level should instil an interest in the subject that will grow and flourish in the long run.

THE importance of PHYSICS

A small number of basic principles and laws of physics can be applied to predict a wide range of physical events and phenomena. Therefore, teaching students the nature of physics inculcates in them an understanding of the importance of science and how it can be applied to our day to day lives.

In Singapore, physics is introduced as an ‘O’ Level and ‘N’ level subject to make students aware of energy, matter, and their interrelationships.

“It focuses on investigating natural phenomena and then applying patterns, models (including mathematical ones), principles, theories, and laws to explain the physical behaviour of the universe.”

Why is Physics daunting for many students?

"A quality Physics tutor, time and sheer hard work are the three ingredients that make the learning process of Physics easier and effective.”

Many physics students, both past and present, would agree that physics is one of the most difficult subjects in secondary school. And for those who are new to the subject such as secondary 3 students, learning physics is like learning a new language containing a myriad of technical jargon and unknown symbols.

Physics demands a deep understanding, technical comprehension, and a curious mind. These are two main factors that discourage many students from studying physics:

• A lack of understanding of what Physics is;


• Dependence on Mathematics: the subject’s inherent difficulty and reliance on mathematics makes it more difficult for students to understand.

Given these factors, it is not surprising that many students find it hard to ace the subject.  Enrolling in physics tuition as early as possible  will ensure that your child gets a thorough understanding of the subject, which will allow him or her to excel in future physics examinations.

get acquainted with Physics

Physics is a branch of the tree of science that helps to describe how nature works using the language of mathematics. It is the most fundamental of the experimental sciences that attempts to describe the behaviour of the smallest building blocks of matter, light, the Universe, and everything in between.

The Singapore education system gives science a special place in its curriculum. Science is introduced at the Primary and the Secondary School levels.  In the beginning, students are taught the very basic and general form of Science. As they start to progress, specialisations such as Physics are introduced.

FAMILIARIZATION WITH PHYSICS SYLLABUS

WHAT DO YOU STUDY IN GCE O LEVEL PHYSICS

Known as syllabus 6091, the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education for Physics focuses on the investigative study of natural phenomena while applying knowledge of theories and concepts to justify specific conclusions. Introduced to students in sec 3, Physics is one of the three Science subjects that is tested during the GCE O levels, depending on individual subject combinations.

When it comes to the assessment objectives of the GCE Physics O Level examination, students will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of several aspects of the subject matter. These include (but not limited to): • Scientific laws, facts, concepts and theories • Scientific terminology • Instrumentation and apparatus use, and proper abidance to safety protocols • Technological applications Beyond this, handling of information and solving problems and experimental skills and investigations are boxes to check off the Physics syllabus.

How then do schools grade their GCE Physics O level students? There are three papers that students will have to sit through during their O levels, two of which are theory-based, and the third is a practical assessment. The syllabus is similar for the IGCSE Physics 0625 examination.

In some secondary schools, students are given the option to take combined science, instead of taking on triple sciences. This allows for a clean split in grading when the results are out.

WHAT DO YOU STUDY IN GCE O LEVEL PHYSICS

GCE A level physics builds on the content covered in GCE O level physics curriculum. The course dives into specifics of topics that include the likes of Magnetic fields and electromagnetic induction and Quantum Physics.

There are, however, differences between H1 Physics and H2 Physics. Beyond the level of difficulty, H1 physics does not require students to sit for a practical exam. If coming up with your own experiments and deriving results from it is your forte, the more intensive H2 Physics just might be for you. Given the in-depth coverage of concepts and practical assessments of H2 Physics, taking the course improves your eligibility for science courses in University.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GCE O & A LEVEL PHYSICS

From the above, you can see that the breadth and depth of content vary drastically from GCE O levels and A level physics. If there is one factor that links to the increasing need for students to enrol in A level physics tuition, it has to be because H2 Physics requires students to utilise math extensively.

How can CHAMPIONTUTOR help?

As seen in the ‘syllabus’, it is clear a student needs to excel both in theoretical and practical knowledge to achieve good grades in a physics exam. To achieve both these demands effectively, we believe that a physics tutor will be of great help.

1-to-1 physics tuition in Singapore allows your child to get a quality education with personalised instructions. If you are looking for an affordable private tutor for physics, you have landed at the right place. At ChampionTutor, you can engage top-notch physics tutors for your child. Even if you are looking to kickstart ‘O’ level physics revision for your sec 3 child, our physics tuition will help your child pass their exams.

Why Engage in our Services?

You can expect following benefits from ChampionTutor if you are searching for a physics tutor:

• Medium for discussion- Tutors at ChampionTutor do not believe in the formulaic one-way teaching process. Discussions are an integral part of teaching, and our teachers are open to any discussions and queries put forward by students. Teachers share valuable advice and experience, provide the right study materials and motivate students to realise their full potential.


• A perfect amalgamation of theory and practice: We understand that physics is one of the most demanding sciences, with its integration of theorems and calculations. Our physics tutors are adept at both theory and calculations.


• Experienced and Professional teachers: Our teachers are only selected after their teaching history has been carefully scrutinised. Most of them have teaching experience in secondary schools. Therefore, they can help their students with helpful tips and effective study methods. This way, we help ensure that you are paired with the right and efficient tutor or a tuition centre for physics in Singapore for secondary, IP, and IB courses.





We Follow Newton’s Approach…

The Newton’s first law of motion states that “An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed.”



At ChampionTutor, we follow the same approach and place your child in a progressive movement from the first day of class until he or she delivers positive results in a Physics examination.
