Hi Parents!
Did your child perform poorly in the recent Physics/science exams?
Are you wondering why your child is struggling to improve their Physics or Science results to an A1 or A2, even though they are working hard?
Well, it may be because traditional study methods like
❌ Passively listening to lectures
❌ Copying and re-copying notes
❌ Burying themselves in assessment books
Don't work for them in the long run.
They may feel like they have the jargon memorised, but they struggle when they get to higher-level questions.
This makes all the difference from an average grade to an A1/A2 student!
We use a tested and proven VISUAL LEARNING METHOD rather than lecture-style teaching
Watch and listen to the following live in-class recordings for yourselves!
Demonstrating
Thermal Properties using a balloon
Demonstrating
Conservation of Energy using a Swinging Pendulum
Demonstrating
Centre of Gravity using the Plumb Line Method
Instead of being passive listeners, they're actively asking questions.
Students start to make connections to concepts themselves and enjoy the learning process.

WHY THE PHYSICS CORNER
SMALL CLASS SIZE
(MAX 8 STUDENTS)
The class size of NO MORE than 8 students is absolutely essential to our Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) visual learning method. In our class, every student will get a chance to speak. The small class size also means we can easily customise the learning speed for each individual student.
EX-MOE TEACHER WITH MORE THAN 12 YEARS TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Since 2011, Alex has been successfully taking students through a 2-3 grade jump. Every lesson is carefully curated to be enriching and refreshing while sticking closely to the MOE syllabus. Our classes are a perfect fit for any student struggling with their combined, pure or IP Physics grades across all secondary levels.
PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATIONS INSTEAD OF LECTURE-STYLE TEACHING
The Physics Corner lesson plan in-class practical segments for trickier topics like kinematics, electricity, and magnetism. These help students translate jargon into real-life, easy-to-digest applications.
Joshua, S4, Beatty Secondary School
"His teachings helped me to jump 2 grades for pure physics in a span of 8 weeks."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He is very patient and always makes lessons very fun and entertaining, while still effectively conveying various Physics concepts. I really appreciate his comprehensible elaborations which make Physics concepts very easy to digest. He also incorporates real-life applications and live demonstrations, hence widening our perspectives of the world through a physics’ lens.
Min En, Sec 4, SOTA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr Teng is a very kind and patient teacher. He uses real-world examples to help students visualise and understand a concept better. His teachings helped me jump 2 grades for pure physics in the span of 8 weeks.
Joshua, Sec 4,
Beatty Secondary School
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
His lessons are always engaging, and I can feel the extra effort he puts in to always show us live demonstrations, as it greatly helps me understand the concepts. Not only that, but he is a very patient teacher who never dismisses my concerns, always putting in the extra time to explain concepts and questions I have difficulty understanding.

OUR PREDICT-OBSERVE-EXPLAIN (POE) VISUAL TEACHING PEDAGOGY
PREDICT
Even before diving into concepts, we encourage students to tap on their existing knowledge to make predictions. E.g. "What do you think will happen when I put the balloon near the fire?"; "What will you see when I put a glass of water in front of the card?"
OBSERVE
We perform the demonstration and allow students to observe what happens. It's okay even if they don't have the right answers. A lot of learning is enhanced by addressing alternative conceptions, after all.
EXPLAIN
Here's where we link up the demonstrated phenomenon to the relevant concepts for meaningful and deep learning.
SEE THIS VISUAL APPROACH IN-ACTION HERE
Indeed, the premise behind POE is pretty simple.
Then why isn't this teaching method better utilized in schools?
Wouldn't this be an amazing teaching method, especially for students who are kinaesthetic or visual learners?
Unfortunately, this teaching method becomes diluted and less engaging the larger your audience is. Imagine going one-by-one in a class of thirty students and encouraging them to voice their unique observations.
With no more than 8 students in each class, we ensure that every student gets to actively participate in and benefit from this POE approach.
