Mr. Dion helped me in improving my understanding and confidence in chemistry a lot. He can break down complex concepts into clear, logical steps that actually make sense, rather than just memorizing formulas. I used to be getting high 4s and low 5s in my final exams in year 5, but after lessons with Mr Dion, I got a grade 7 for the final IB exam! This will not be possible without the coaching rendered by Mr Khoo.

Mr Dion is an exceptional teacher whose dedication to his students is clearly evident. I have studied chemistry with Mr Dion since IGCSE, where his guidance helped me build a strong foundation in the subject, leading to an A*.
As I progressed into IB HL Chemistry, the content became significantly more challenging, and I found myself struggling at times. During IB, I attended Mr Dion’s well-structured and thorough group lessons, where he consistently broke down complex chemistry concepts into clear, understandable explanations while encouraging students to actively apply their learning to exam-style questions.
As the syllabus demands increased, I chose to seek more targeted support through additional one-to-one guidance. By focusing on specific concepts and areas I was weakest in, I was able to improve from a grade 4 to a grade 6 in chemistry within a month

Julian Chan, 7 points, IB HL Chemistry (Nov 2025) SJI International School
Starting off IB chemistry by myself had me averaging middle 5's and low 6's. These results were a lot lower than what I wanted which was a 7. Hence, in a desperate attempt to have a fighting chance in getting a 7, I joined focus chemistry after my third unit test in school. There, I met Mr Khoo who had a very unique way of teaching and nothing like I'd experienced before. Although his classes are lecture styled, which many may view as dry and boring, Mr Khoo ensures that we have adequate questions being asked. However, unlike other teachers which praise students for getting questions correct, Mr Khoo asks even harder questions to keep us in check instead of getting ahead of ourselves. Mr Khoo's dry humour, unique style and hard questions made the class challenging but fun. In the end, I attained a 7 in IB chemistry with much guided help from Mr Khoo.
Trevor Kuok, 7 points, IB HL Chemistry (Nov 2025) SJI International School
Mr Khoo has been consistently supportive throughout my Chemistry journey. He communicates all complex concepts and topics in a clear, simplified, yet detailed manner, allowing me to finally understand ideas I struggled to grasp in school. His unique practice questions were not only highly effective in solidifying my foundational understanding but also in expanding my perspective and critical thinking in Chemistry. With his guidance, I was able to transform my failing quiz results into a strong and consistent Grade 7 in the IB Chemistry finals!
Choi Bokyeong (Becky), 7 points, IB HL Chemistry (Nov 2025) SJI International School
Before focus chemistry I had a weak grasp on the topic and often failed my weekly quizzes. However Mr Khoo was able to breakdown these abstract concept into easy to understand steps and helped me to identify my weak points and turn them into strengths. In the end I even achieved my goal of a 7 in chemistry!
Kaden Teo, 7 points, IB HL Chemistry (Nov 2025) SJI International School
Mr Dion Khoo has been an exceptional IB Chemistry HL tutor who greatly strengthened my understanding of the subject. His clear explanations made challenging concepts much more manageable, and his guidance for my Extended Essay and Internal Assessments was especially valuable. He provided precise, constructive feedback aligned closely with IB marking criteria, which significantly improved the quality of my work and made it possible for me to get a 7 and a A for my EE. I am very grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to any IB Chemistry student.
Kamaraj Thiruvenkata Nathan, 7 points, IB HL Chemistry (Nov 2025) ACS (Independent)
Mr Khoo is a kind, fun, and enthusiastic tutor who truly shows passion for his work and teachings. I first went to Mr Khoo in Secondary 3 for help for Chemistry after barely passing my mid-years. and he has massively improved my grades, getting a grade 7 in the IB exams.
On top of that, Chemistry used to be one of my most hated subjects due to my consistent poor performance. However, after employing Mr Khoo’s tips and tricks that he passionately teaches during class, I have not only seen a massive improvement in my Chemistry grades, I have also seen the beauty Chemistry has to offer.
Additionally, any doubts and queries I had from school lessons were clarified that week during lesson, keeping me from falling behind the fast-paced learning that takes place in the IB programme.
I would highly recommend Mr Khoo for those who are currently struggling with Chemistry.
