Quick Announcement for Singapore Readers:

Extension to Early Bird Price Registration for Mole Calculations Mastery Workshop 2010

We received a handful of requests for us to extend the bird early registration for the workshop as many schools in Singapore have yet to announce their March Holidays schedule.

We hear you and would want to help committed students to join us at this important (Number 1 killer topics for Chemistry) revision workshop at the special early bird workshop fee.

After much discussion, we have made the decision to extend the early bird registration to 10 March 2010 for all our March Holidays workshop.

We look forward in meeting your child at the workshop!

Cheers to your academic success,
Sean

PS: I was informed that there are only 5 4 seats left. Act now!

“Hi Sean, just want to say a BEEG thank you being an inspiring teacher. Your passion for Chemistry & dedication in teaching are a great motivation & inspiration to your students. You do not choose only the ‘A’ grade students but inspire them to be. Because of your help, Tim (Timothy) improved his Chemistry and was able to spend more time brushing up other subjects. Thanks!”
Mrs Ho, Parent of Timothy Ho, Gan Eng Seng School, C5 (Sec 3) to A2 (O Levels 2009)

• With all the hype and anxiety about the release of 2009 GCE ‘O’ Level results finally coming to a stop;

• With many of our 2009 students (of course including their anxious caring parents) settled enjoying the process of uncovering their new environment & making new friends in JC / IB institutions / Polytechnics;

• With the many wonderful wishes and special praises from a group of appreciative parents;

• With everyone being calm and mentally sound;

I think it is time for us to share our good news about our 2009 batch of Chemistry (Pure Chemistry & Combine Science) & Math (A / E) students.

Winners Education Group has helped another year of students to unleash their potential and produced excellent results with:

• 100% improvements!

• 98% of them have also scored ‘A’s & ‘B’s!

• 97% making improvement of 3 grades or more in Chemistry & A/E-Math!

Updates: Glad to know that (more…)

TEACHER = EDUCATOR ???

Since the inception of this F-R-E-E Chemistry website few days ago, i have received numerous emails and blog comments by educators from different regions – about the roles of  “Teachers” and “Educators”.

Many in Singapore associates Teachers to only NIE-Trained Teachers which applies to Primary, Secondary & Junior College Teachers. Personally, i thought more credit should be given to Kindergarden & Child-Care Teachers and Assistants, Tutors, Coaches, Instructors, Trainers, Polytechnics & Universities’ Lecturers, even parents & siblings. As such, Educators seemed to be a more correct term to used.

I did a quick check with my decade-old dictionary to find the terms  stated:

Teacher - person who gives systematic information to (person) or about (subject or skill); enable (person) to do something by instruction

Educator – person who trains or instructs  mentally and morally, besides giving information

These days, children (especially this group of teenagers under “Y” Generation) are getting more matured earlier and have a mindset of their own. Giving of information to students and instructing them is no more effective. And thus the role of Educators / Teachers have to emcompass other elements in order to made their teachings more effective, such as:

• Passion of the subject
• Knowledge of subject (besides the textbook theories)
• Motivation / Inspiration
• Fun & Humorous
• Classroom management

What do you think?

If you are an educator: Teacher, (more…)

It’s official!

Just a quick note that SEAB website has announced the tentative date for GCE ‘O’ Levels Reults 2009 results release to be between 11th – 13th Jan 2010.

If you are awaiting the results, i would like to wish you getting the grades that you desire.

Whatever results you obtained, remember that you have options and it’s time for you to make decision for your further education and learning. If you are not sure what to expect after your results, do drop me a comment here for further discussions.

Ai Ling from singaporeolevelmaths.com has compiled a list of Open Houses (for JC and Poly) that you can visit, in order to have a better idea of what you want for your next phase of life. She also mentioned that Sec 4 / 5 (2010) students should also go for such Open Houses in order to have a better idea, even before they take their GCE ‘O’ Levels Examinations later this year. Highly encouraged!
