Why Students Struggle with A Level Chemistry in Singapore
High Content Density & Complexity
The A-Level syllabus demands mastery of theory, calculations, and lab techniques—all under tight timelines.
Weak Conceptual Understanding
Rote memorisation fails with application-based questions that test deep comprehension.
Challenging Application-Based Questions
Exams test critical thinking, requiring students to apply concepts to novel scenarios.
Lack of Exam Strategies
Without structured time management and answering techniques, marks are easily lost.
Inconsistent Practice & Revision
Irregular revision leads to poor retention and lack of familiarity with question trends.

Why Focus Chemistry Stands Out
Specialized Expert Tutors
Our two experienced Chemistry tutors conduct every class personally—no part-timers. This ensures consistency, quality, and deep student-tutor engagement.
Small, Focused Class Sizes
Every student gets personalised attention and real-time feedback in our tightly-managed classes.
Proven Results
Students routinely jump 2–3 grades and achieve A or B in A Levels. Real case studies back our approach.
Online & Offline Flexibility
Learn at Balmoral Plaza or online. All sessions come with digital notes and class recordings.
