O Level Combined Science Tuition for Effective Exam Preparation

At AO Studies, our combined science O-level tuition programme is conducted together with the pure Chemistry tuition classes and pure O Level Physics tuition for Topical Re-teaching and Topical Tutorials. There are very few differences in the syllabus between pure and combined sciences. Students will be exposed to reasoning and conceptual application skills at the pure science level. This promotes a deeper understanding of the subjects that common school combined science programs are unable to offer. Combined science students will then be given dedicated classes to focus on concept application and examination skills that are necessary for the combined science level.

Topical Tutorials

In the topical tutorials of our combined science tuition sessions, specially designed notes will consolidate key science concepts in each chapter and further test on a student’s understanding of the subject. Key terminology is highlighted so that students use accurate terminology to answer questions that will help them score the maximum number of marks. Students will be exposed to a small degree of higher-order thinking questions to challenge their conceptual understanding.

Exposure to Pure Sciences Syllabus

With the shift in the O Levels towards more knowledge application questions, it is vital that students have a better understanding of their concepts through discussions and consultations and more interactive tuition lessons. Learning conceptual knowledge at the pure science level allows students to have a more complete understanding of the topical concepts in combined science and allows for better knowledge application.

Concise Topical and Summary Notes

O Level students in Combined Science tuition are often overwhelmed with the sheer amount of memory work required to score. They resort to using their own words and understanding rather than using key terminology that they need to memorise to answer questions. With our concise topical and summary notes, students will be able to focus their efforts on memorising the content that matters most in a fast and efficient way.

CHIJ St Theresa's Convent

Ashley Chua

Before Mr Joseph’s lessons, I have been getting Bs for chemistry. I disliked chemistry as the concepts were hard to understand. However, after joining his lessons, I found that I could understand the concepts easier. His lessons are fun and engaging! He always makes sure that I fully understand the concepts before moving on to the next chapter. He always gives me extra practice to give me more exposure to different types of questions to help me familiarise myself with them. This definitely helped me in my preparations for o levels as after attending his lessons, I scored a A2 for chemistry.

Methodist Girls School

Chloe

I joined about a year before O levels began with failing or borderline passing grades. After all Mr Ang’s help, I managed to get B4. He was always kind enough to answer whatever questions I had and was patient enough to go through them until I understood. Classes were always very enjoyable and actually helpful unlike some other places that throw endless practices at students expecting them to get better on their own.

Maris Stella High School

Owen

I joined Mr Ang in the 3/4 of Sec 3. Prior to joining I was getting E8 for every exam. He made sure that I understood every chemistry concept required, and even taught us ways to memorise important concepts for our examinations. Every lesson was enjoyable and always filled with laughter. In addition, Mr Ang is very approachable and whenever I face difficulties when revising I could always text Mr Ang to clarify. After 1 year of his guidance, I was able to achieve an A2 in my O levels. I really thank him 😉

Isaiah

Having gone through Joseph chemistry and physics lessons these past two years I have learnt so much from him. Before joining his class my results for chemistry and physics were B4 and C5 respectively but after his lessons I managed to get A2 for both subjects. His lesson materials also are very useful and have helped me look at the topic from a different perspective than what my school is teaching. I definitely would recommend his lessons as they are really an eye opener that would help you broaden your view on the subject.

St Gabriel's Secondary School

Ian

I was initially scoring between F9 and C5 to B4 and couldn’t get my grades high. Mr Joseph taught me the right method to study for chemistry and physics(combined) and encouraged me to put in the effort to work harder. Over time, things got easier, and for my O levels, I got an A1 for combined phys and chem. If your looking for a teacher that is persistent(in the good way) and thinks of the best ways to teach you despite your difficulties in learning, you got Mr Joseph.

Anglo Chinese Junior College

Lucas Rinaldi

Joseph is very dedicated teacher which will go out of him way to help us understand concepts and solve questions. Be it schoolwork or the questions given to us in the materials, Joseph will not hesitate to answer my questions I have and to clarify any of my doubts. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work especially during the A level period!

Maris Stella High School

Shaun

Mr Joseph was extremely helpful with his tutoring. The lessons were enjoyable and very concise in teaching exactly what each Chemistry and Physics chapter was about. I began Secondary 3 with borderline passes for both Chemistry and Physics but through Mr Joseph’s guidance, I eventually graduated with A1s for both of the subjects. Last but not least, Mr Joseph also exemplifies his love of work by always being available to answer any doubts and queries even in the middle of the night. Thank you Mr Joseph.

I joined AO Studies towards the end of secondary 3. At that time, my phy and chem were barely passing and I was beginning to lose interest in them. However, the lessons were engaging and I was able to better understand the topics. I was shocked that I managed to improve from C6 in sec 3 to A1 for both my Physics and Chem in the 'O's.

My physics tuition teacher Joseph have really helped me in more ways than one. I loved his class from the moment I started attending it- and I've learnt so much from him too; I have my A1 in O Level Physics to attest to that.

Mr Joseph has taught me chem and physics since sec 3 to sec 4. Through the lessons, he uses really visual, interactive, interesting ways to teach his students that really makes chem and physics interesting. It's no longer something read from a book but made into something with life and something i really enjoy learning.

O-Level Combined Science Class Activities

What do we do in a typical combined science class over the term


AO Studies - Bishan Tuition Centre - Secondary Combined Science Tuition Icon - Class Discussions

Class Discussions

In our regular class discussions at AO Studies, combined-science tuition students are exposed to a large breadth of questions that will assess their understanding of the key concepts in each chapter. This is so, as they will be part of the pure sciences class, which they will otherwise, not have the opportunity in their normal school curriculum. Higher-order thinking questions are also introduced to challenge and strengthen topical concepts.

AO Studies - Bishan Tuition Centre - Secondary Combined Science Tuition Icon - Timed Test and Examination Practices

Timed Test/Examination Practices

Short timed practices are conducted frequently in our combined science O Level tuition classes to assess a student’s understanding of the topics covered. During these sessions, emphasis is placed on time-management, examination skills, and answering techniques.

AO Studies - Bishan Tuition Centre - Secondary Combined Science Tuition Icon - Concise Notes

Concise Notes

Concise notes for each chapter of O Level science topics will be given to every student in our tuition classes to help them consolidate topical concepts and make it easier for them to memorise and understand key concepts. Key summary notes for the entire combined science syllabus are given to students towards the end of their curriculum to consolidate the key facts that they need to memorise.

AO Studies - Bishan Tuition Centre - Secondary Combined Science Tuition Icon - Examinations Skills & Strategies

Examinations Skills & Strategies

The O Level combined science paper places less emphasis on higher-order knowledge application and more emphasis on ensuring that students fully grasp the basic concepts in each chapter. As such, there is a greater need for students to ensure that they are proficient in answering the common question types in each and every chapter and are able to apply accurate answering techniques learnt during their tuition classes to score the highest possible marks for each question.

AO Studies - Bishan Tuition Centre - Secondary Combined Science Tuition Icon - Topical Re-teaching Lessons

Topical Teaching

In our combined science tuition, topical teaching lessons are conducted together with the pure science class, where students learn the key concepts, with emphasis on common mistakes and misconceptions students have. An inquiry approach is used so that students participate more actively in the learning, increasing their understanding rather than just didactic memory of key facts. Frequent use of visual and diagrammatic representations further enhances learning in our combined science tuition programme.
