Starting with the End in Mind: Streaming into Secondary 3
Our Secondary Science Tuition is available for Secondary Levels 1 to 2.
Our aim is to prepare the student for progression into Secondary 3 in which he will have to choose Pure and/or Combined Science in the 3 disciplines of Science – Physics, Chemistry & Biology. Naturally, all 3 disciplines will be covered in our Secondary Science Tuition Programme.
Secondary School Science: same yet different
Secondary 1 and 2 Science continues with the themes learned in Primary School Science except that greater depth is covered and more application to daily living is expected from the student. Themes encountered in the PSLE syllabus – Diversity, Systems, Interactions & Energy are greatly expanded upon.
The typical student new to Secondary School Science will not have expected formulas, equations and Math to be introduced in Science, not to mention being required to memorise and use them correctly. We at iMatter Learning Centre are here to make that transition as interesting as possible.
Science is Everywhere: Learning Methods
We continue to reinforce upon our students that Science is everywhere in everyday life, not just for them to score well in their exams but also to understand their world better. To achieve this vision, we use the following teaching methods and more.
- Real life examples to reinforce scientific concepts and principles
- Hands-on experimentation to learn Science in a fun & exciting manner
- Use of multimedia to illustrate science in daily life
- Practice with various data analysis techniques
- Mind maps to consolidate learning
- Topical tests to assess learning
- Mock exams to prepare for exam

Testimonials
- About the programme: “The exercises given are better compared to the ones given in school. It is also more useful and easier to understand.”
About the tutor: “(I am) able to understand better than how school teaches. The notes are also better and useful.”
Sherwin, Sec 2 Student - “(The tutor is) friendly, caring and persistent. She teaches until I understand. She honestly makes me like Science more.”
Umiko, Sec 2 Student - “My child likes your class and said that your explanation is good and easy to understand”
Mdm Ng, Parent of Sec 2 Student - “Mr Kwok’s instruction is clear and detailed.”
Jane, Parent of Sec 2 Student - “Her (SA2) Science result is 59… I am happy for her Science result as she has improved from 39 to 59. This is very good for her. Thanks for your effort and teaching.”
Belinda, Parent of Sec 2 Student - “My Sec 2 girl just joined iMatter this July after consistently failing her science. She started to panic and asked me to get her tuition. I came across iMatter online, their class is small and the review is good. So thought of giving it a try. I would always ask my girl how the lesson is, and she would tell me that the teachers give attention to every student, ask every student which topic they need help in, and help them with it. It is not just about starting and ending lessons. After attending their classes (science and maths) I wouldn’t say from a fail to an A, but at least my girl is improving and now she has passed her science. Even though the marks were around the borderline, it’s an improvement. Most importantly, she understands what the teachers are teaching. I would love to let her continue her lesson at iMatter.”
Clarabelle, Parent of Sec 2 Student
