O Level Chemistry Tuition

At Path Finder Tuition, we focus on helping students to achieve a good understanding of Chemistry through progressive learning. As the Chemistry topic is vast, we help students learn better by organising the information in the textbook into recognisable patterns and teach them how to apply their knowledge of chemistry in everyday situations.

Testimonies

Sec 4 Pure Chemistry, Class of 2019
The Chemistry lessons at Path Finder are not only clear but also interesting. The concise and informative notes each week is extremely beneficial for my revision. Whenever there are doubts for school works, we can always get help through Whatsapp or during the class.

Mr Sebastian’s lessons are also very interesting and got me more interested in the subject. He is able to answer queries in a way that easier to understand and will ensure we are clear of the things being taught before moving on. His teaching method may be unique yet it caters to your learning needs. Both my tutors offer the best help both in and outside the tuition through WhatsApp. Thank You Path Finder!

Key Highlights of the Lesson

Building Content Foundation

The content of the Chemistry syllabus is often very difficult to understand. Building the foundation from ground up is vital to ensure that students are able to keep up with the increasing difficulty of the subject and are well-equipped with basic and advanced knowledge to tackle questions.

Detailed Handcrafted Notes

In order to maximise our student’s ability to comprehend and absorb the heavy content, notes are specially crafted with summary, worked examples and explaination to allow students to manage and consolidate their learning.

Exam Answering Techniques

To prepare students on how to study and answer examination questions, our classes will teach students exam answering techniques to answer Chemistry questions with the greatest accuracy possible and achieve the highest possible marks.

Secondary Level

Learning Chemistry at the Secondary level equips students with the basic knowledge of Chemistry involving elements, chemicals and chemical reactions. It is an integrated subject where topics are taught in progression and are linked and inter-connected. It is important that students establish a strong foundation in this topic as students who have difficulty with the earlier topics in Secondary 3 will find it difficult to grasp subsequent topics in Secondary 4.

Experimental Chemistry

Topics covered under this portion aims to impart students with the basic understanding of Chemistry happening at the laboratory.

Chemistry Basic

This portion elaborates on the understanding of the ways atoms and molecules interact with each other and explains the resultant physical and chemical properties of matter.

Reactions in Chemistry

Chemical reactions are the heart of Chemistry. This part focuses on the multiple types of reactions and unique characteristics of different reactions. Students will also be introduced to the correct quantitative methods for reactions.

Applications

In this segment, students are taught how to apply past knowledge of Chemistry to understand more complex structures, synthesis of chemical with calculation and chemical formulas.

How do we come in?

The aim of the course in Path Finder is to build the basic competency in the foundation knowledge of Chemistry. This is followed by making relationships with the applications in the order where they can be understandable.

Key Highlights of the Lesson

Building
Knowledge

The lessons are structured to build upon previous knowledge in graduation, training students to tackle tasks with increasing difficulty.

Mind Mapping of Knowledge

At the end of the month, the tutor will help to connect everything learnt via a mind map, allowing for easy review of the concepts taught.

Periodic Revision

We conduct bi-monthly revision of past topics with a summary of key concepts and revision practices.

Junior College Level

Learning Chemistry at the Junior College level is a step up from Chemistry at the Secondary level. Beyond theory knowledge, students are expected to gain a greater understanding of the Chemistry content, relate it to real-world applications and have an in-depth analysis of the three major fields of Chemistry – Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. Students are expected to understand better and be able to explain real-life phenomenons that even the laws of Physics or life or science could not explain.

Physical Chemistry

This is how matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level and how chemical reactions occur. Concepts of physics such as energy, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, chemical equilibrium and catalysis are introduced in this section. This topic allows students to see the interconnectedness between the physical and chemical part of science.

Organic Chemistry

Students will learn of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparationof carbon-containing compounds, which can be applied to the field of medicine, food,fuel and drugs. Organic chemistry shows a strong relationship between the biological and chemical part of science.

Inorganic Chemistry

This topic is the study of the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds, which include metals, minerals, nanomaterials, and organometallic compounds. While organic focuses on carbon-containing compounds, inorganic chemistry focuses on everything else. Inorganic chemistry is fundamental to many practical technologies including catalysis, materials (structural, electronic, magnetic, etc.), energy conversion, storage, and electronics. Students will also learn of inorganic compounds in biological systems where they are essential to life processes, such as the Haem group in hemoglobin.

How do we come in?

The aim of this course in Path Finder is to build the foundation of our student’s understanding and hone the application skills required to overcome challenging questions in the A-Levels.

Building Knowledge

The lessons are structured to build on upon each other in graduation rather than assuming prior knowledge from student.

Mind Mapping of Knowledge

At the end of the month, the tutor will help to connect everything learnt via a mind map.
