“DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.“

This class is currently taught by our centre’s Principal Tutor, Mr Kwok.
Our Biology class is available as fully face-to-face and fully online lessons.
Starting with the End in Mind: ‘N(A)’ & ‘O’ Levels Biology
Our Secondary Biology Tuition is available for secondary levels 3 to 5.
To ensure that our students are well prepared for their level assessments, our tuition programme rigorously follow the MOE syllabi corresponding to N(A)-Level or O-Level. All written components of ‘N(A)’ or ‘O’ Levels Chemistry will be covered.
Biology continues with the themes in Lower Secondary Science except that greater depth and breadth are covered.
- Complex biological systems, biochemistry and genetics are introduced to the student.
- Dive deeper into the cell to learn more about its structural components and their functions.
- Find out more about the various biochemical compounds and their reactions in the cell.
- Discover how biology can be harnessed to improve our quality of life.
We aim to reinforce upon our students that Biology is everywhere in everyday life (it is certainly within us), not just for them to score well in their exams but also to understand their world and themselves better. To achieve, we use the following teaching methods and more.
Learning Methods used in Secondary School Biology Tuition
- Real life examples to reinforce Biological concepts and principles
- Use of multimedia to illustrate Biology in daily life
- Mind maps to consolidate learning
- Topical tests to assess learning
- Mock exams to prepare for exam
Upper Secondary School Biology Resources
We have curated materials from various sources in our Upper Secondary School Biology Resources page.
- Experiments
- Revision Video Clips
- Publications
- Notes, mind maps and more!
You may check them all out here.
Fully Online Lessons
- Effective online lessons are conducted weekly by Mr Kwok.
- Travelling time is saved with no compromise in teaching quality.
- Online lessons are recorded so absent students will not miss out anything.
- Students are exposed to online resources similar to the physical versions in our physical classes.
- As in our physical classes, students in online classes are welcome to pose any Biology query to Mr Kwok outside lesson time.
Testimonials
- “The teachers are really nice and understanding! They will explain to students patiently and also help me with my homework whenever I need help. I really appreciate having such an amazing tuition teacher!”
Min Ting, Sec 3 Student - “I had always been weaker in my Science (Biology) compared to other subjects. Upon persuasion by a classmate, I signed up for tuition in Science (Biology) at iMatter Learning Centre. The tutor was clear in his explanations and helped me tremendously in clearing all my doubts in the subject. I was elated when I found out that I scored A1 in my ‘O’ Levels Science. Getting help from iMatter had been a good decision.”
KL of Orchid Park Secondary School, Just obtained her ‘O’ Levels results - “I am glad I sought help from iMatter in providing tuition in Math, Science (Chemistry) and Science (Biology) in my ‘O’ Levels year. The tutors there were helpful and passionate in helping me to clarify my doubts in these subjects for which I was having trouble with. I eventually scored B3 for Math and Science in ‘O’ Levels. These grades give me a sense of personal satisfaction and they will be useful in my application to a polytechnic course.”
AD of Orchid Park Secondary School, Awaiting entry into Polytechnic - “My Science results have always been borderline, especially biology which is my weakest area. With ‘O’ Levels nearing, I decided to try out iMatter for its biology tuition after hearing about it from a friend. The tutor gave us lots of tips and tricks to make the subject manageable. Thankfully, I got a B3 for my ‘O’ Levels Science and I am happy for it.”
CT of Orchid Park Secondary School, Just obtained her ‘O’ Levels results - “I took a total of 4 subjects, Chemistry, Biology, English and Math here. My tutors are all friendly and caring to each and every student.
Mr Chong who teaches me Biology is one who believes that a student’s growth is not all just about learning what’s taught in textbooks but through interaction with the students. With his many Case Studies activities, he engages the class through hands on activities that help reinforce certain concepts that may be more difficult to remember. He is also an encouraging teacher who understands his students and caters specifically to different students way or learning.
iMatter Learning Centre isn’t just a simple tuition centre but is a fun and engaging place to learn and improve on one’s ability to learn no matter your starting level. It is a place like no other and I would definitely recommend it to others. It truly holds the meaning of “where every learner matters”
