Time flies, we are nearing the end of academic year 2011 as the O-Level & A-Level students take their respective exams this month. It has been my pleasure coaching them in the last 10 months or more.

Let’s fast-forward to Academic Year 2012, there will be another batch of students taking their Secondary 3 End-of-Year Exams or GCE O-Level Exams. If you are one of them, i just want to advise you to start learning the proper CONCEPTS early, especially when it comes to CHEMISTRY. This is because the fundamentals are really important and it will help you to connect all the topics together.

This coming November and December school holidays, i will be again be personally coaching a selected group of committed students to improve their Chemistry Concepts. If you would like to be one of them to enjoy learning Chemistry, i welcome you to join us in the following workshops:

A) Basic Essential Concepts (Headstart) Workshop:

Date: 17 & 18 Nov 2011 ( 9am – 1pm)

This is primarily for Sec 3 (2012) students that has little or no knowledge in Chemistry Concepts. I will be coaching you on the fundamentals that will get you to be very comfortable when your school chemistry teacher discuss them in class. This will give you a headstart and not feeling confused like many of your peers. Chemistry is very new when you progress from Sec 2 to Sec 3 and many students tend to lose their interest in Chemistry after a few months in school.

It is also suitable for Sec 4 or 5 (2012) students that score less than 55% in the end-of-year exam. Frankly, you need to build up all these fundamentals, like writing Chemical Formula 100% of the time, writing Balanced Chemical Equation 100% of the time. Do not procrastinate anymore. Trust me.

B) Acids, Bases & Preparation of Salts (Revision) Workshop:

Date: 5, 6 & 7 Dec 2011 (9am – 1pm)

This is a revision workshop and is suitable for Sec 4 or 5 (2012) students.

Acids, Bases & Preparation of Salts are three very important topics that all Chemistry students must be familiar and confident with. They are highly related to the Sec 4 or 5 application topics and thus will determine whether you prepare well for your major exams or not in 2012.

However, i realised many students hate these three topics! Most complained that there are lots of things to memorise. They said that their teacher ask them to memorise the whole sections in the book in order to do well. Hmm…Please note – this is a misconception! Memorising might not get you to even pass. Instead of memorising, i would instead ask you to understand the Essential Concepts, so that you can attempt any questions that are posed to you in exams. Isn’t that better?

“It is good that Sean has organized this workshop to focus on the MCQ of Chemistry paper as it is often a paper that teachers and students alike will neglect. Through the workshop, he covers tricky and common MCQ questions, which is very helpful. His cheerful and lively teaching approach learns to keep everyone awake and in focus. Thanks Sean for everything! Definitely recommended to other students in future.”
