With Dec 2009 coming to an end, we have successfully conducted the following December Holidays Chemistry Mastery Workshops for GCE ‘O’ Levels & IP students:

1) Chemistry Headstart Workshop (for Sec 3 2010 students)

2) Atomic Structure & Chemical Bondings Mastery Workshop

(for Sec 4 2010 students)

3) Acids, Bases & Preparation of Salts Mastery Workshop

(for Sec 4 2010 students)

The workshops were fun-filled and extremely exciting for me to coach an almost totally new group of students from 22 different secondary schools which are geographically spread over all parts of Singapore.

• Anglican High School
• Cedar Girls School
• Choa Chu Kang Secondary School
• Chung Cheng High School (Main)

It is a pleasant surprise to know that we have coached students from more than 80 Secondary schools in Singapore as well as a couple of students that have flown in from overseas i.e. Mauritius, etc – making differences to their lives.

It is a joy to know that many of these students know our former participants (workshops or weekly classes) that (more…)

Now, just a quick note for parents and students that are eagerly looking forward to our December Holidays’ Chemistry Programmes.

Based on numerous requests from parents, we will be adding a new Chemistry Headstart Workshop for Sec 3 (2010) students.

Just a quick note to thank:

1) Students that have joined and completed our weekly cosaching programmes (under Ultimate Leap Programme) as well as our various Chemistry Workshops and June Intensive Revision Programmes.

It has been my pleasure to be able to coach you all. Remember this saying: “When the students is ready, the master will appear”. Without your earnest to learn, i would not have done my job well.

Below is the Map and List schools where our 2009 students students are from.

2) Parents that sent their child to us

Thank you so much for the trust and belief in our coaching methodologies and interest building in (more…)

After a week long of intensive and focus preparation, the Score 100% Chemistry MCQ Mastery Workshop for 2009 ‘O’ Level students was successful completed yesterday. There were about 40 participants and we had great fun in the day-long intensive workshop which aimed to give them the final tool (and push) to “Up Their Chemistry Grades”!

Who says that coaching can only be effective in small group or individual? =) Certainly, we have proved it over and over again that with proper systems and a passionate / high energy coach (hee..that’s me for this workshop) – we can create a dynamic learning environment for the participants which can synergise their learning capacities and keep their interest and momentum going. I must certainly applaud (more…)

Time really flies! We are at the end of the academic year for Singapore secondary levels.

Year 2009 had been an exciting year for us @ Winners Education Group.

We have conducted extensive series of Math (A- and E-Math) & Chemistry Workshops Mastery Workshops during the school holidays as well as our weekly coaching classes under Ultimate Leap Programme. Phew! With the last workshop on 7th November 2009 (Score 100% MCQ Mastery Workshop) for Pure Chemistry student, we will round up Year 2009 with all we can do for GCE ‘O’ Levels (IGCSE, IB and IP) students.

I would like to take this chance to thank all my chemistry students for their attention, laughter, fun and discussions for the past 10 months. I have enjoyed your company, and I hope you have enjoyed mine. Parents – thank you for all the trust and belief in our coaching methodologies and motivational/value set. It has been a pleasure working closely with you to help your child:

1. Gain back their interest in Chemistry
2. Build up their confidence academically
3. Improve their Chemistry Grades on a consistent basis

Let’s check out some of recent photos taken for our weekly coaching classes under Chemistry Ultimate Leap Prograame.

Attention: Quick Note for GCE ‘O’ Level Pure Chemistry students in Singapore

Many students who ace Chemistry know the importance of MCQ (Paper 1), in fact many of them edge out their friends by doing exceptionally well for MCQ to achieve their As in O levels. Based on the information from previous years’ students, many smart and bright students did not Ace their chemistry exams because they lost marks in their Chemistry Paper 1 (MCQs). Generally they scored very well for their Chemistry Paper 2, but when they come to Paper 1 (MCQs), they just “killed” themselves!

Scoring 100% in Chemistry MCQ is definitely possible, in fact easy! if you know ‘THE HOW’.

HOWEVER…

Many many students fall into this trap: many have wrong beliefs & mindsets that MCQ

• is chicken-feet, the easiest paper for O levels
• requires hardly any preparation since they have already studied so hard for Paper 2 anyway

So they spent their available time during exam period after completing Paper 2 on 2nd Nov on activities that has no help in scoring the grades they desire.

MCQ results has a BIG Impact that can affect the overall Chemistry grade but (more…)

It has been a busy September for me – getting students to revise their work and clear any misconceptions that they have in their Chemistry – in order to prepare for their School’s Chemistry Preliminary Examinations.

Amidst the busy schedule, I am so happy that during this period where Singapore celebrates Teacher’s Day (different countries celebrate on different dates), my chemistry students still remember me as “A Coach; A Teacher“.

There were several surprises from different groups / classes and i must write this blogpost to sincerely Thank them for their presents and wishes! Thank you very much! I appreciate the gestures! =)

(haha. there are in fact 3 different cheesecakes, but they all look so yummy, that i ate 2 of them before i took out my hp to take a picture of the last one)
