Time is 1.32am in the morning, and i just came back home from the 5 days Intensive Program in Singapore, Expo. Tired now, but rallying to go for Day 2 of the program.

During the seminar, many people ask me how difference is my Chemistry Coaching different from the mainstream teaching in Secondary Schools by their own MOE (Ministry of Education) teachers.

You know what is my answer?? Totally Different! In fact, i told them that i am NOT a teacher from MOE. And my coaching is different to theirs in the following ways (in points):

1. My coaching method is NEVER one-way (as in Sec Schs), but instead it involves lots lots lots of participation – cos it has been proven to be effective

2. I dont just teach and they listen there. Instead i coach them to find their own answer, own analogies, own examples

3. I coach them how to relate abstract Chemistry Theories to everyday life occurences, by giving lots lots lots of life examples and analogies.

4. I also coach them how to use story-telling in order to allow them to relate better on the chemical equations.

5. I emphasized lots lots lots on throwing away wrong concepts and installing the new, correct concepts in their learning blueprint

6. I also emphasized lots of motivation and personal consultative talks in order to engage them to like me as a person, so that i can communicate my Chemistry Knowledge to them more efficiently and effectively.

7. In 5 days of Intensive Bootcamp (i.e. 40hrs of Intensive Coaching), i managed to complete 70-80% of the current GCE O Level Chemistry Syllabus, in which schools need one and half years to teach the students –> and my method through accelerated learning techniques allow them to retain the knowledge in a longer, funnier and simple ways.

So that is my difference from MOE teachers. For aspiring Coach or Tutors that want to be different from others, i will be starting a “Train The Trainer” Intensive Course for you!! Isn’t it cool! I am a person who likes to share my knowledge, and i promise that you will be blown away with the strategies that i am using at the moment. You will be surprised how Chemistry Coaching can be So Fun, So Fast and So Effective.

Alright, time for me to catch some sleep, and be really focussed in my Day 2 of training.

Yesterday was the last day of the 5 days O Level Chemistry Intensive Revision Bootcamp and was a really emotional one for me. Especially when i was handling out the Certificate of Acheivement to this special group of committed students. I can see the smile and brightness in the eyes, and feel very proud that i decided after so long, to hold such an intensive program for a group of students that wants more help to learn Chemistry in a simple, more fun manner & to score the grades they truly deserve for their Chemistry in O Levels.

With the completion of 40hrs (aka 5 days) of intensive program, we have covered 70-80% of the current GCE O Level Syllabus whereby main-stream secondary schools takes close to 11/2 years to “teach” theirs students. My graduates from this bootcamp are shocked to find out how efficiently and effectively we can cover those “big” chapters in super short time using Accelerated Learning Techniques (ChemKidz…u still remember those Reviews & Participation huh??!) and Lots Lots Lots of Life Examples and Analogies (i almost lost my voice @ towards the end of the bootcamp).

We were at Rendezvous Hotel, and many passer-bys and their own staff are surprised at the speed and effectively levels of our accelerated coaching teachniques used. In fact, Accelerated Learning Techniques has been around for sometime, but only adults that seek personal development understands about it and believe in it. For us, we are the 1ST to incorporate Accelerated Learning Techniques into Chemistry Coaching & fused it with my knowledge of Chemistry Phenomenons in everyday lives. Based on what i observed for last 10 years, our current secondary schools under MOE are still using their own “ONE-WAY” teaching methods and this does not cater well for students that have either loose their interest and have weak foundations in Basic Chemistry Concepts. We AIM to be different by providing a totally different way of coaching Chemistry.

Hereby, i wish this special group of students The Best In Their Chemistry Examinations and also other academic achievements! ChemKidz –> Remember one of my many taglines @ the end of each set of notes –>

“Wanting Leads to Wanting, Doing Leads to Having”

You learned about the Basic Chemistry Essential Concepts. Now you need to carry on Step 2, that is to APPLY it, and Step 3, that is to REVIEW it. I will be following up with you shortly to help you review your progress.

As mentioned in my earlier posts, I have just completed my 5-days Intensive Train The Trainer program (27th Feb – 2nd March 08) at Singapore Expo, Singapore. It was not as easy as I initially expect it to be. The program is really intensive, with lots of on-the-spot practice and very short breaks in-between. There are also instances that we are asked to go to the stage (in front of 540 people) to practice what we have learned just a few minutes ago. Awesome event!

Being a trainer can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling professions on the planet, but if you’re missing some critical knowledge and skills, it can be a major struggle which is why most people in the training and speaking arena are poor presenters.

I understand that the secret to success in this business is to learn from the masters – people who speak to groups of hundreds or thousands at a time. The only problem is that most trainers in this category would never reveal their innermost secrets to success and the psychology behind every move they make. T. Harv Eker, with his team of master facilitators, will. That is the reason that I signed up for it and it is well-worth the dollars.The Train the Trainer Certification program has increase my confidence in this arena by a thousand-fold.

Here is just a portion of what I have learned:
• Designing a powerful program from A-Z.
• How to control the energy in the room.
• A proven blueprint to communicate yourself effectively as a speaker/trainer.
• How to use “Accelerated Learning” techniques so your participants learn faster and remember more.
• A step-by-step process for getting started and making sure my students will enjoy their class

This program is going to change my life – personally and professionally.

I highly recommend this program to aspiring trainers/coaches who wants to communicate effectively to students alike. For current tutors, trainers and teachers – i believe this program will take your coaching to a new high level.

Here is the Train the Trainer Certification to inspire myself to give the best values of knowledge to my students:

Yesterday, we hear a wonderful news that the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympics Games will be hosted in Singapore. We won against a very experienced city, Moscow! Now all preparations from all sectors are taking place to make this historic sporting event a successful one.

SINGAPORE – Singapore erupted in celebration on Thursday after winning the right to host the inaugural Youth Olympics in 2010, with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong calling it a new era for Southeast Asian sport.
