Play video games to do well in studies!!?? Sounds too good to be true? The title of the post seems to encourage students to play more video games to help them in their studies. Don't get me wrong. This is not my intention. What I meant to say is that we can learn a lot from video games and playing them occasionally is alright.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I am sure most of you (parent and students included) play video games. Many of you should have experience getting hooked on playing Candy crush (myself included) or any other games. You just have to get to the next stage and beat the next highest score. Have you ever wondered why are we so interested in playing and challenging video games levels but not so when it comes to studying? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
If you had noticed how video games are designed, they usually starts from an easy level and moving progressively to more and more challenging levels. This is intentional. The reason is to give players a taste of success so that players will continue to play the games. This is the key to motivation!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Imagine playing a game where you couldn't get past level 1 after numerous tries. Would you still continue? I doubt so. Most likely you will give up and blame it on the design of the game or your skills in playing the game. This is the same as studying. If you have never passed any Physics test before, you will just blame it on Physics being too difficult or blame yourself for not being smart enough and give up on the subject and no amount of <b>Physics Tuition</b> can help.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
In order to give students the motivation to continue challenging a game level or a difficult physics questions, the must have a taste of success first. Start with the easy level! Show them that they can do it. Starts with the basic and eventually they will be motivated to challenge more difficult levels and questions.<br />

i am here to share with you guys on a very good website called <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/" target="_blank">Khan Academy</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This site feature videos lessons on various topics including maths and physics. I must say the videos are pretty good and broken down to easy to understand bite size. It is a very good resources to better your understanding on any topics your are not confident with. It is also a very good resources to supplement your Math or Physics tuition. However do take note that the topics are not organized according to the Singapore syllabus and you will have to select the correct topics to learn.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They also have practice exercises that you can do although the units used may not be SI units. Have fun revising and good luck for mid year examination!</div>

many students out there always face the difficulty of having to memories facts
for different subjects such as different laws and theories for <i>Physics</i>. I am
going to introduce a powerful technique to help you guys out there to
strengthen your memory and make remembering those facts easier.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 130%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Many
students are still using what i call 'brute' technique for memorizing. An
example is repeatedly reading the same thing for a few times and just cramp it
in to your brain. This is not the most effective way of memorizing. In fact
memorizing is more effective using creativity. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;">What do i mean by using creativity? Well here is an example. Imagine this story with me...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;">There is a long and heavy snake moving very fast towards a candle. Suddenly a lighting strike on the candle and lit it up. The surrounding suddenly become warm and the candle started dripping wax on the snake face making it look like a mole. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;">Now try to recall the story again. Can you remember it? If you can, you have just memorised the 7 SI units. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;">In that story above, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;">"There is a long (Length) and
heavy (Weight) snake moving very fast (Time) towards a candle (Candela). Suddenly a lighting (Ampere) strike
on the candle and lit it up. The surrounding suddenly become warm (Kelvin) and
the candle started dripping wax on the snake face making it look like a
mole (Mole). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 130%;">Well this is just an example. I am sure you can think of more interesting stories with vivid visual image to help you remember those stuff you want to remember.Try it on some of the <b>Physics </b>theories you want to memories and enjoy while doing it! </span><br />

Hello people, it has been a long while again. Recently i just got to know a fantastic site and i would like to share it with you people here. It is <a href="http://openlecture.org/">openlecture.org</a>. It is a great site where they have videos of lectures for different topics. Don't think they have anything on Physics now but i am sure it will be there soon. Currently they have some A level lectures on Mathematics and some other subjects. Go take a look at the lectures and have fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
This is the time where most of the students take a deserving break after working so hard for the end of year examinations. Some of my <b>Physics Tuition</b> students are going overseas with friends or family for a good holiday tour. Besides taking a break from studies, there are many holiday supplementary courses out there to help those of you who think you didn't do well this time round. There are also many others workshops on many different learning aspect to enrich your learning experiences <br />
<br />
I know of a company, EdValue, who are actively organising talks, workshops and seminars for students as well as parents to add value to the kids learning. They are also the organizer of the Singapore Education Summit last and this year. Recently they are organizing a Creative Writing workshop for kids. If you are interested, click on the image below for details.<br />
<br />
Well regardless of what you do during this holiday, make sure you enjoy and make the most of it. Don't end this month long break feeling like you have wasted another month of your youth. <br />

The passing of a visionary who made a difference in the way we live.<br />
Here's an inspiring speech given by him in 2005 during Stanford's commencement ceremony.<br />

One of the important message i had from his message is never be too afraid to make mistake. Even Steve have made some mistake in his life.....<br />
<br />
Just like what i always tell my Physics Tuition students. Don't be afraid of any subjects just because you are not doing well and is always getting things wrong. Most of the time, it's always through mistake that you learn the most and remember it the best.......<br />

C - The velocity of the ball increases because the ball accelerates under gravity. The acceleration on the other hand decrease due to air resistance opposing the gravitational force.<br />

<u><strong>Solution</strong></u><br />
D - This question is a bit tricky. The amount of kinetic energy in this case depends on the energy given to the 3 blocks (F x D) and hence all the 3 blocks have the same kinetic energy.<br />

Before you dive right into studying, I would like to share with you some tips on how to study smart and not hard. In this article, I’m going to write about 3 ways that you can make use of to study smarter and not harder.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">First tip, know the optimum study duration. Well I would say that you are very hard working if you study 8 hours a day. However are you studying smart? Are those 8 hours spent on the books effective or are you just staring at the notes? Let me share with you some research on optimum study duration. Research has shown that the optimum duration is around 40-45 minutes. That’s why most lessons and lectures in school are structured around this optimum time. Each period for a lesson is about 40-45 minutes. After which the lecturer or teacher will give the student about 5 – 10 minutes break before continuing. You should also plan your study schedule according to the optimum studying duration. Focus and study for around 40-45 minutes and then take a 5- 10 minutes break for your brain and eyes to rest and refresh before continuing. Doing that will make sure that when you are studying, you are really learning and not spending your time staring blanking into your notes or books.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Second tip, know which subject to study first. I am sure most of you have many subjects to study. You have Languages, Sciences and humanities etc. So which one do you start first? Well I would advise you all to start with the subject you have the least interest first. In that way, you are fresh when you first start and that energy can help you go through that least interested subject with focus and concentration. Subsequently, move on to the subject that you have the most interest. And by the time you are at your most interested subject, you will be tired from all that studying. But fortunately, you are at your most interested subject and your interest in that subject will spur you to focus and study it.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tip 3, study in the morning or night. There are researches which show that some person work more effectively during the night than during the day. So find out if you are a morning or night person. See if you can understand and absorb more effectively during the day or night. If you are a morning person, wake up a bit earlier to start studying and if you are a night person, well stay up a bit later to study. Also you can do the intense studying during your effective study time. While spending the less effective study time doing intense work like organizing your notes etc.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So above are the 3 tips to study smart and not hard. So while you are burying yourself in those notes and books, think of these 3 tips and see if you can apply them and study smarter and not harder.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

More often than not, the reason that they find the subject difficult is because there are a lot of laws and concepts to learn and grasp. Similarly for math, most students find that there are too many formulas and too confusing to learn. So here in this article, I will share one strategy that I teach my students on how to make a daunting task simpler to handle.<br />
<br />
This strategy is very simple. The gist of this technique is to break up the problem or task in to smaller problems or task. This will make the initial problem at hand look simpler and less daunting to tackle. For example, if I were to ask you to clean your room, it will seem to be a very huge task and you will mentally feel that it’s going to be very difficult to do. This thought will actually limit you from trying to clean up the room. However, if I were to ask you to pack your table, this will seems like a smaller task which you feel that you can handle. As such, you will most probably go and pack your table. Similarly if I ask you to make your bed, pack your wardrobe, all these smaller task will seems simple enough to do and very likely you will do them. If you notice, by the time you finish all those small tasks, you would have completed cleaning up your room!<br />
<br />
Applying the same logic to Physics, if you look at Physics as a whole, it’s going to be very intimidating. Lots of different topics with many different concepts and it sure look tough to learn and master them. This fear is one of the main reasons why students do not want to even start studying and learning physics. This fear will worsen if the student fails to catch up with what the teacher is teaching. Now, if you break up Physics and attack them one at a time, it’s going to be less daunting. You may be surprised that you actually know a lot more physics then you thought you knew.<br />
<br />
For example, in ‘O’ level Physics, the topics can be divided in different smaller topics such as Newtonian Mechanics, Waves and Oscillations, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism and Modern Physics. You can start by mastering each of the smaller topics and eventually go on to mastering ‘O’ level Physics. Hopefully this technique I share with you here in my <b>physics tuition</b> blog can help you to see that ‘O’ level Physics is actually not as difficult and tough as it seems.<br />
<br />

Below is a saying on teaching which I believe dearly:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Tell me and I forget.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Show me and I remember.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Involve me and I understand.</b></div><br />
These are the exact words which I lived by during my education. Actually, I am living by these words even now when I am out in the working world. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will always try to teach and share my knowledge with my fellow students or co-worker. Doing this has always to help me understand and learn more about what I am teaching. In fact being a <i>physics tutor</i><b> </b>giving <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">physics tuition</a></b> has also strengthened my fundamentals in physics and allows me to understand more of what I may have missed in the past. Peer tutoring is a very good way to get students involve in learning so that they are not just passive learner receiving information. In this article I am going to going to share with you 8 benefits of peer tutoring.<br />
<ol><li>More attention given to students – peer tutoring is usually conducted on a one to one/two basis. This means that the student tutor can devote more attention and time to effectively assist the student that needs help.</li>
<li>Ease of communication – it is not surprising that the student tutor will be able to understand and communicate with their fellow student better. This can help when they are trying to explain difficult concepts. </li>
<li>Regular contact with positive peer model – the regular contact with the student tutor can be beneficial since the student can learn from the positive role model on their studying habits, practices as well as techniques. </li>
<li>Stimulated to learn – the student may be stimulated to learn and excel in subjects so that they can be a student tutor and enjoy the process of teaching and being an active learner as well.</li>
<li>Reinforcing concepts – Teaching will get you more involved and know much more about the subjects. This will undoubtedly reinforce your concepts and enable you to have a better understanding of the subjects. You will be an active learner and not just a passive one.</li>
<li>Improve self confidence and communication skills – As you teach and share with your peers, you will unknowingly develop self confidence and communications skills. These are very useful traits to have as you go on to work. </li>
<li>Rewarding and enjoyable – Being able to share knowledge and help your peers is a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Active learning will also greatly increase your interest in a subject. </li>
<li>Enhance problem solving and organization skills – Having the opportunity to teach your peers, you will be exposed to a variety of good and difficult questions. This will definitely improve your problem solving skills. Your organizational skills will also be trained as you organize your thoughts clearly to convey to your peers</li>
</ol>I hoped that after sharing with you the benefits of peer tutoring, you can see that peer tutoring creates a win-win situation where both the student tutor and the student both benefit. I cannot stop preaching to my student during <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">physics tuition</a></b> classes that peer tutoring is an effective studying method to adopt and you all should not selfishly hide your knowledge from your peers and hope that you will perform better than them during examinations. I truly believe that by sharing and teaching what you know with peer tutoring, both you and your peers will benefit much more and can all do much better in examinations.Valuewarriorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16327124652193538616noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633436401554274659.post-47378812125096430922010-06-29T23:22:00.000-07:002010-11-09T17:15:37.132-08:00How to study effectivelyWelcome to my blog on <a href="http://physictuition.blogspot.com/">Physics tuition</a> (A tutor's blog sharing effective studying and examination technique)<br />

I believe this is a good forum to help parents and students understand more about how important self motivation is in education and how to develop this sense of self motivation in the students. They will also introduce some studying techniques and skill that might beneficial for all of you students out there. I would encourage parents to bring their children along to this summit to understand more about your kids education. <br />

<br />
Today in this article I am going to share with all of you, parents and students, the secret to doing well in exams. Well strictly speaking it’s not really a secret. It’s an important aspect of education that most people know but have often neglected. Actually, most schools in Singapore have also failed to realize this important aspect in the past. Recently, some schools have been trying to include this aspect of education into their curriculum. Curious on what it is? Well let me go right into it.<br />
<br />
I believe that most of you have read a lot about studying techniques, tricks and tips to help you do well in exams. You may have also learned or heard about them from your teachers, parents and tuition teachers. In fact I have also advocated some <a href="http://physictuition.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-study-effectively.html">good studying/exams tips and techniques</a> to my student during my <b><a href="http://physictuition.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-post.html">Singapore physics tuition</a></b> lesson and in my <i>physics tuition</i> blog. All these knowledge are all good and informative. However, are all these information and knowledge useful to you? It will be if you put them into action. This information will remain as just information if you don’t take any action.<br />
<br />
So what’s the secret to doing well in exam? The answer is simple. It is to take action. Not just any action, its action derived from self motivation! Yes this is the most important part of education; the motivation to study and excel. It is only with this motivation that can sustain the student action’s to study when they are faced with other temptation (like television, computers) or difficulties. <br />
<br />
I can tell whether my students will score an A in their physics exam or not by seeing if they are motivated to learn. Most of the time during my <u>physics tuition</u> lesson, I will be trying to arouse interest in the students so that they will want to know more about the subjects and from there derive the motivation to learn. It does not matter if the student is clever or not. If he is clever, it will probably be easier for him to understand the things that are taught and it will be faster for him to learn. But for those that are not as clever, it will just take them more effort and longer to learn. But as long as they are motivated to learn and are genuinely interested to learn, they will definitely score well in exams.<br />
<br />
So how do you fire up your kid’s interest to study and get them motivated? Or how do you as a student motivate yourself to study? What I can tell you for sure is that It is not easy. It requires constant coaching and reminding. I am not an expert in motivation but some of the common techniques I employ during my <b><a href="http://physictuition.blogspot.com/">physics tuition</a></b> include making the subjects interesting for my student to learn. Also I encourage them to set goals so that they have a clear target where they can get satisfaction from achieving it. <br />
<br />
So this is the secret to doing well in exams. As long as you can motivate yourself to study, I am sure you will excel in whatever subjects you want to.<br />

Just wanted to add some take away i have from this lecture.<br />
<br />
<b>1)</b>Life is not about what you achieve in the end that matters. What's important is the journey you go through in achieving that goal. If you have seen this lecture, the greatest and most valuable lessons he learned comes from the dream he never really did achieve.<br />
<br />
So don't focus on the failing part of that failed test or exams. Look and focus at the valuable lessons that you got out of it instead. <br />
<br />
<b>2)</b>There's always a wall that stops you from achieving your dream. And this wall is good as it is a test to see how bad you really want to achieve that dream. It is good as well since it filter out those people that are not really serious so that you get less competitors.<br />
<br />
Don't be discourage if you meet with some difficulties or problem as you are working towards your goal. They are merely there to test how bad you really want it.<br />
<br />
<b>3)</b>If you give a person enough time, you will see their good side. I find this very true and i truly believe that if you devote enough time and patience in to every child, you will eventually see that they are capable. <br />
<br />
This is a good point to take home for all parents and teachers. Give your child and students enough time and patience and you will be surprised what they are capable of.<br />
<br />
