Its the time of the year again... the time where the examinations ended and the holiday begin!!! 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 Physics Tuition students are going overseas with friends or family for a good holiday tour. Besides taking a break from studies, there are many holiday supplementary

In commemoration of Steve Jobs.... The passing of a visionary who made a difference in the way we live. Here's an inspiring speech given by him in 2005 during Stanford's commencement ceremony. 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..... Just like what i always tell my Physics Tuition students.

Questions Solution 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. P.S.

Question Solution 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. P.S.

Many of my students in my physics tuition classes find physics one of the most difficult subjects to learn. 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

An effective way to help you improve your physics or in fact any other subjects is peer tutoring. Below is a saying on teaching which I believe dearly: Tell me and I forget.Show me and I remember.Involve me and I understand. 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

Welcome to my blog on Physics tuition (A tutor's blog sharing effective studying and examination technique) I have shared quite a few useful tips on examination and how to study effectively. They are pretty much scattered in this blog and i am sure some of you have difficulty looking for the useful information. The following list of links are my suggestions on key posts on the above topic. I

June holiday is coming and for those of you parents who are looking for something meaningful to do with your childern, there will be a Singapore Education Summit 2010 at Singapore Expo on 5th & 6th June 2010 organized by Edvalue Pte Ltd. 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

I am so sorry it has been awhile since i have any posting. 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

I dedicated this post to the best lecture i have ever seen. And yes i have attended hundreds of lectures during my studies and i can say this is the most inspiring lecture i have ever heard. That is why i am here to share it with people who have not seen it yet. It is a bit long but i am sure most of you will sit through it. So sit back and enjoy this wonderful lecture.

Again I am going to share some simple studying techniques and methods that I have encouraged my physics tuition student to adopt. These are studying and revision techniques that can help you study more effectively and efficiently.The 3 methods are as follows:Revision - Always do constant revision. If you have the time, do it consistently, everyday if possible. If not, at the minimum I will tell

I am sure many of the students out there complained about physics being a boring subject. And i am sure that you all detest going for your physics classes or Physics Tuition. Well here's a video that i hope can change that. After the revision on Moment in my previous post, here is an interesting video showing moment in practice.I know this may look impossible and you must be thinking now that

Moment is one of the most interesting topics in my Physics tuition. Many students have difficulty understanding the calculations for moment. Well i have found a video which gives a good concepts on moment. This should serve as a good supplement for your physics class lessons. You can leave me a comment or email if you have any questions on this.P.S. Kindly send me an email: etutionx@gmail.com if

How can you find a good tutor for your physics tuition? Well here are some of the factors of a good tuition teacher.1. A good physics tutor is able to explain complex and difficult physics concept in a simple way so that you can understand. If you are having trouble understanding what your physics tuition teacher is talking about, i am guessing that its time to change.2. A good physics tutor

If you have any physic questions you cannot answer please send me an email or leave a comment. Any concepts that you are not clear with. Example: Whats moment, electromagnetism etc. Just send me an email or comment and i will try my best to explain to all of you.P.S.

I am sure many students and of course parents would like their kids to improve on their current results. Today i am going to share some tips on how students can improve your results and how parents can help them in doing that in 4 simple steps.

Below are 6 ways to improve your memory.I believe this is pretty important for many students. Having a great memory will definately make studying and revising for test and exam much more efortless. Unfortunately not all of you are blessed with good memory but there are ways to make it better. Here are 6 of them: 1. Exercise your mind The more you use your brain, the better it will be . If you

I remember in my previous posting on How to study for exam lesson 4, I have advocated mind mapping as a great study tool to help you remember stuff. Well here are 10 simple steps to creating your mind maps. You all can make use of the holiday to practice creating mind maps for past topics.1.Start with a blank sheet of paper. It can be any size. A blank one not the one with lines to restrict how

So how much should a Physics tuition teacher charge?I was discussing this question with my friends on the fees of tuition nowadays getting higher... Especially those that are better and charged a premium. Not that it's bad since im a tuition teacher myself. Haha.But i am wondering if this is healthy. Would this means that only the rich can afford a good tuition teacher and the poor cannot. Won't
