Physics Tuition in Singapore: The Top 30 Physics Tuition Options in Singapore (With Reviews Included)

1. Physics Tuition in Singapore

Introduced at the Secondary 3 level, Physics is considered to be one of the more complex subject fields to grasp, giving rise to a demand for Physics Tuition in Singapore. To put it simply, learning physics is tough, that much the majority would agree and relate to. Physics is the study of how nature works using the language of mathematics and just like in Math, Physics is all about the fundamentals, and then applying them through the different layers of concepts. Many have found it difficult to even define physics, let alone master it. Hence, Physics is considered to be one of the many subjects that require extra learning support as Singapore’s education system progresses and becomes more difficult. Especially at the Junior College and University level, students are required to grasp the heavily-weighted subject well within an extremely short time frame of just 2 years and thus many see the need for a Physics tutor to guide them through the process.

It is a norm and expectation in Singapore for students to score As for most if not all subjects. However, with so many difficult subjects on hand to manage, such as Physics itself, where the masses struggle to cope with the syllabus, many have turned towards hiring a Physics tutor for guidance. This results in an increase in demand for Physics tuition in Singapore. With an increase in demand, the supply of Physics Tuition in Singapore will naturally increase as well, this is especially prevalent for O Level Physics Tuition & JC Physics Tuition. The Straits Times has reported an increase in enrichment centres in Singapore from an average of 700 in 2012 to 950 in 2019 and one can expect that figure to be way above 1,000 by now. As one of the major tuition agencies in Singapore, we too receive minimally 80 tuition requests for Physics at all levels monthly.

2. Top 30 Physics Tuition Centre Options

With so many Physics Tuition in Singapore and Enrichment Centres and specialists scattered all over the island, finding the most suitable one or rather “the best” can be quite challenging. “What makes this tuition centre better than the other”, “Will engaging in this Tuition option guarantee results” are one of the few most frequently asked questions when it comes to decision making. With the increasing number of tuition establishments yearly, is it without a doubt that parents/students will often be caught in a dilemma. Here at Mindflex, we recognize this dilemma, and thus, we have carefully curated a list of 30 of the most reviewed Physics Tuitions in Singapore across various levels as well as the merits and demerits of each one of them.

1) The Physics Cafe

Founded by Mr Dave Sim, The Physics Cafe, also known as PMC, is probably one of the most well-known as well as highly-rated Physics tuition in Singapore. Featured on The Straits Time, The Physics Cafe has a proven track record of producing “A”-grade students. Besides physical lessons, they also provide digital classes options for students. The lessons – often 2 hours – consist of explaining concepts and applying the concepts to real problems. The Physics Cafe is currently nestled strategically across the island with one outlet in the West, Central, North and East each. They are also the first tuition centre to offer shuttle services from MRT interchanges.

2) Aspire Thinking

Mr. Terence Pang, NUS Bachelor (Honours) Mechanical Engineering, started teaching in 2014. Shortly after, he founded Aspire Thinking Learning Centre. Fueled by the belief that learning should be both enriching and enjoyable, the centre focuses on small class sizes (not more than 5), to maximise teacher-student interaction. Lessons are aligned closely to the MOE curriculum. Questions and worksheets are curated specifically to the students’ learning needs to help them excel and achieve personal goals. Small class sizes ensure that students have sufficient opportunities to clarify doubts and ask questions. Periodic tests and mini quizzes are conducted to check for students understanding of topics and concepts learnt. A passionate educator, Mr Terence focuses on students’ mental well-being too. An ICF-Certified Life Coach, Mr Terence ensures that students are mentally prepared and motivated for tests and exams through goal setting and career guidance workshops.

3) Learners’ Lodge

This centre is arguably one of the leading national providers of enrichment programs for JC students in Singapore. While they do provide Physics tuition across all levels from Secondary up till JC, they mainly specialise in A Level Physics. Through their innovative teaching methodologies, they have a solid track record of students being able to qualify for either the 3 main local Universities or Ivy League Universities in the US and UK (Stanford, Harvard etc.). Notes and teaching styles also differ across students from different schools so as to ensure that students are learning according to their own school syllabus. Learners’ Lodge is also located at six locations across Singapore to comfortably suit the needs of existing and potential students, and poses as a convenient option for Physics tuition in Singapore.
