Chemistry Tutors in Toa Payoh, Serangoon

I have been tutoring since I was sixteen years old. What started as a small hobby of providing extra-curricular help for some of my IB classmates ten years ago has gradually evolved into a full-time passion of mine that I derive deep fulfillment from. In addition to the joy I feel from the teaching process itself, the fundamental reason I enjoy what I do lies in the mentorship I give to my students, and in providing them clarity in perspective, confidence in their own potential, and unwavering support throughout a time in their lives when things feel overwhelming and confusing. Having graduated from the IB in 2014 from École Jeannine Manuel in Paris, and endured the grueling and competitive university selection process, I remember firsthand how much pressure students experience at this critical stage of their academic careers - a time when attaining a particular grade boundary dictates whether or not they'll be able to attend their dream university and begin the life they've envisioned for themselves. This hyper-fixation on academic performance is often complemented by a collective learning environment that can easily neglect the unique, subtle nuances of each individual's learning style and pace. In wanting to do well, students often find themselves navigating a teaching approach that, by necessity, prioritizes this group environment, and they resort to finding their own way through topics and exams - a path they don't need to navigate alone. This is where I can help. Having been in both the student and teacher roles of the academic experience, I've encountered the range of challenges and pitfalls that often lead to unsuccessful outcomes, and in the worst cases, a misjudgment of our own abilities and a lowering of our own potential. In distilling my dual experience, I have understood the keystone component that determines where these outcomes fall: Communication.

I would be a good chemistry tutor because of my strong foundation in the subject and my ability to explain complex concepts clearly. Throughout JC, I consistently scored As in chemistry, from my very first test to the Prelims, and I was among the top few in my cohort during the Prelims. My participation in the Chemistry Olympiad further highlights my passion and aptitude for the subject. As a peer tutor in JC, I gained valuable experience in helping my classmates understand challenging topics, ensuring they could grasp concepts effectively. Additionally, I was a lead science coach for Primary 5 and 6 students at Mendaki, where I honed my ability to create a supportive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student’s needs. Currently, I am tutoring 2 students (1 O Level and 1 A Level). They have shown significant improvement. My O Level student was constantly failing chemistry. However, now, she has gotten almost a B. My involvement in ChemSoar, where I coded chemistry concepts into an interactive platform, demonstrates my innovative approach to teaching and my commitment to making learning accessible and exciting. With my consistent academic excellence, strong communication skills, and enthusiasm for chemistry, I am confident in my ability to help students excel academically while developing a genuine appreciation for the subject.
