Lower Secondary Science
Class Duration: 2 hours
Max Class Size: 8 students
Our General Science programme focuses on the different sequence of topics that each Secondary School will be covering during each term. This means that each student will be taught the topic his/her school is currently teaching, be it Biology, Chemistry or Physics to ensure that he/she is on task and is able to keep up with school’s curriculum. As this is a transition from Primary school, guidance provided includes learning of answering techniques, demonstration and building on their independent learning. Students are taught how to annotate, dissect questions and apply concepts for more in depth topics.

Application of Concepts
Students will be taught how to identify question trends and question types through topical worksheets. Each topic will cover the necessary points to look out for, as well as the common trends and questions tested in examinations. Past Year Examination papers will also be provided as practice so that students can be exposed and get used to various types of questions and solutions. This helps to boost their confidence and refreshes their understanding of key concepts and phrases that are frequently tested.
How We Boost Each Child’s Learning
Direct
Consistent revision of concepts is important in helping students retain information and to understand the subject better. We place emphasis on important concepts and questions to better prepare students for examinations. With our step-by-step guidance, we ensure that students are exposed to the right techniques and ways to tackle examination questions. By constantly sharing real world scenarios in our lessons, your child will be able to make connections and apply the concepts and skills taught.
Develop
Practice makes perfect. You may find that your child is not getting enough practice on his/her own which is crucial in their learning years. We believe that regular practice with exam questions will allow students to learn from their mistakes, and be better prepared to tackle their exams.
With our small class size, every child gets the attention they need to clarify doubts, and learn more efficiently.
Connect
We believe in building a strong and trusting relationship with our students by not being merely just a teacher, but also a friend who listens and understands. As students transit into their teenage years, it is crucial for them to feel heard and validated while they adapt to the changes around them. We strive to create an environment that makes them feel safe by believing in their abilities, and at the same time motivate them to give their best so that they can achieve their fullest potential.
