Common Student Struggles in O Level Chemistry

Many O-Level Chemistry students face common struggles such as grappling with abstract concepts, understanding the periodic table, and balancing chemical equations. Additionally, memorizing complex chemical reactions and applying them accurately in exams can be daunting. These challenges can lead to frustration and a lack of confidence.

• Do you always rely on mere memorisation to pass every test or exam?
• Do you tend to forget concepts easily?
• Are you sufficiently prepared to achieve the distinction you desire? Or are you still feeling lost?

Tackling Challenges Head-On

At Focus Chemistry, we believe in a holistic approach to tackling challenges. Our tutors create a supportive environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, engage in discussions, and participate in hands-on experiments. This active learning approach not only demystifies complex topics but also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

The Significance of O Level Chemistry Tuition

O-Level Chemistry tuition plays a pivotal role in shaping students’ understanding and performance in this subject. Chemistry can often prove challenging within the confines of a regular classroom setting. Experience tutor Dion Khoo provides personalized attention and focused guidance. We can bridge this gap and provide students with a clearer understanding of complex concepts.

What do our students and parents have to say?

Here are some of the testimonials that our students and parents shared about our O Level Chemistry tuition services:

Jonathan Khoo

Grade A1 in O Levels Pure Chemistry (2020)

Maris Stella High School

Mr Dion Khoo is a very dedicated tutor that always strives to help students achieve nothing but excellence. His lessons are impactful and he is always able to provide additional information on certain topics to deepen our understanding of it. His lessons are far more engaging and simpler to follow than what was taught in the school. Even though his teaching style is unique, it provides remarkable results and it has definitely contributed to my successes in Chemistry. Lastly, his lessons are clear and concise, which greatly benefited me by eliminating useless information to remember.

Mrs Poh Yan Ling

Parent of Luke Poh

Grade A2 in O level Pure Chemistry (2020)

Angle Chinese School (Independent)

Dr Ong is a dedicated tutor and the best chemistry tutor that I have engaged to help my son.

He was able to diagnose the gaps and inaccuracies in my son’s understanding of the subject. He simplified concepts which helped my son to understand and apply the concepts. He also gave my son a good revision schedule and emphasised the key learning points for each lesson.

As a result of his tutoring efforts and encouragement, my son improved from a D7 to an A2 for his O level exams.

Frequently Asked Questions in O Level Chemistry Tuition

Here are the top questions frequently asked by parents who wanted their children to excel in O Level Chemistry tuition:

Do you prepare students for A levels or IB diploma after O levels?

A levels/IB Diploma Bridging classes for post-O level students are usually conducted from end-November to mid-January. During this 8-10 weeks’ course, students experience a sample of the variety of topics, as well as the nature of questions at these higher levels.

Do you conduct group lessons for IP students sitting for A level or IB track?

Group classes conducted for secondary school students are usually for those who study Secondary 3 and 4 pure Chemistry. For IP/IB students, due to similarity in content, they can join the O level Pure Chemistry classes.

However, there are some IP schools, such as NJC and ACS(I), where the fraction of the syllabi that are of A level/IB level are much greater than other IP schools. As such, the typical O level Pure Chemistry classes will not be a good fit. The tutor may customise the group class to accommodate students of 2 different tracks within the same class, or the student can opt for a more customised and personalised one-on-one lesson with the tutor.

Does the tutor conduct intensive revision for O and A levels?

The tutor does conduct intensive revision for O and A levels, usually during the 2nd/3rd week of June. Collation of the most recent past-year preliminary examination papers will be used for topical revision after the concepts of each chapters are taught.

Mr Khoo is one of the most inspiring and dedicated teachers I have come across in my schooling life. I came to Mr Khoo about 4 months before my A levels, where I was struggling to pass my school's chemistry papers. I had a very poor understanding of the concepts and I was not sure how I could recover in time for my A levels. During my first lesson itself, Mr Khoo sat down with me and was able to identify most of my weaknesses and lapses in the subject, and within 2 months, my grades jumped from an E to an A for my prelims, and I was able to score an A for my A levels as well. He would also sit down with me after lessons on some days to talk about concepts not covered in the A level syllabus just so I could have an all-round understanding of the subjects. It is truly a joy to be taught by Mr Khoo.

Mr Khoo is an experienced chemistry teacher and he puts in a lot of effort to provide us with good quality educational resources and tips to do better in our examinations. I have seen great improvement in my understanding of JC level chem and it has piqued my interest in chem. He is also quick in responding to questions asked outside class time.

Mr Khoo's clear and concise teaching makes learning chemistry a lot easier. Not only that, but because my interest in chemistry increased, my results automatically increased helping me get 6 points in my y4 fye from only a mere pass in y3.

Mr Khoo is an excellent teacher. He breaks down concepts into understandable bits of information, making chemistry a joy to learn. His patience and his vast knowledge allows students to learn more than just what is taught in school, making it a more relatble subject when learning real world applications. Mr Khoo is dedicated, checking in on every student after each major examination. He makes sure that the student understands their mistakes made, boosting their learning process. The three years that i spent with Mr Khoo was undoubtedly worth it. Thanks Mr Khoo

Mr khoo is one of the most knowledgeable and patient people I know, and therefore one of the best teachers I have ever met. His classes are extremely conducive and productive and well worth the time spent, where he takes the effort to make sure every single person in the class has understood the topic before moving on. He has helped me improve tremendously from a C5 to A1, and ultimately a distinction in my O levels.
