Challenges Faced By Chemistry Students In Singapore
> Insufficient understanding of Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Experimental Planning (practical paper)
> Chemistry students learn about the elements that make up the world – investigating their properties and how they interact, combine and change. What makes Chemistry so challenging is that it requires a diverse skill and knowledge set – you need to have strong general knowledge ranging from Physics to Biology to Statistics. You also need to have a good balance of book and hands-on learning
> You can understand Chemistry only if you understand the vocabulary/jargon. There are 118 elements to learn, many new and unfamiliar words, as well as the entire system of writing chemical equations – which uses its own special language
> Many Chemistry concepts build on understanding units, conversion, and how atoms and molecules interact. Chemistry concepts must be studied in a logical order because concepts build upon each other. Jumping into the middle of the science can lead to confusion
> Many students find Organic Chemistry to be the most difficult aspect of their syllabus. You just can’t memorize all the possible answers because there are simply too many of them. That means that you have to sometimes rely on your intuition, and hope that your instincts are correct
> Chemistry students must be comfortable with Maths (including algebra), to understand and be able to work through Chemistry problems. Geometry is useful, and if you are planning to excel in Chemistry, you would need calculus. If you are stuck on unit conversions for example, you will get left behind
Benefits of engaging a reliable Chemistry tuition teacher
Just when you have finished preparing for one quiz, there is another coming up in 2 weeks’ time. Every day, new homework assignments and projects are added to a never-ending to-do list.
You can keep up, but just barely. This is stressful, especially when you dread the day when you cannot finish your homework in time because you don’t have the answers to the questions that your teachers asked.
Worse, your classmates – who are in your class because you had previously been achieving similar grades to theirs – are able to get the right answers and score higher marks. Very discouraging.
Good Chemistry tuition teachers will give you 1 to 1 attention, so that you can ask them how to solve those difficult homework and exam problems.
Tutors Singapore represents only qualified tuition teachers who already have a Bachelor’s, or are about to get one. Or they might have a Master’s or PhD in the subject that they are teaching you.
As they are experienced in teaching students in your academic level, they can easily and clearly explain to you what you need to know and do, so that you can urgently gain much higher marks.
Your Chemistry private tutors would also have materials to share with you – whether they are exam papers or homework assignments from other schools. Or, they would have good recommendations for you to buy workbooks that are most suitable for you to practice on, in order to gain mastery of the tricky concepts.
With Chemistry home tuition, you can get instant clarification in concepts that are difficult to understand.
You can also receive customised lesson plans tailored to suit your unique learning style and understanding of the different Chemistry topics, so that you may better absorb the content and understand the concepts.
Your Chemistry tuition teachers from Tutors Singapore are very familiar with the latest MOE syllabus and newest exam requirements. They have been teaching for between 2 to over 30 years and can identify the areas that you should focus on, according to your grade targets and pace of learning.
The current Chemistry syllabus can have content that is challenging for many students. Our Chemistry tuition teachers are experienced in teaching students at your academic level. They are familiar with the common misconceptions and the dangerous mistakes made by Chemistry students.
Double-checking your answers is useful only if you know how to create and put together the answers that the MOE really wants you to give.
Learn how to accurately analyze the questions, so that you can arrive at the answers that give you maximum marks.
Professional Chemistry tutors are able to show you how Chemistry concepts are applied when answering tricky exam questions.
You lost interest and became frustrated only because much of the syllabus did not make sense.
Once there is clarity and you are able to perform the simple and then the advanced tasks, your sense of achievement will lead you to better grades and even stronger mastery of Chemistry.
Students can be overwhelmed with having to maintain a healthy and balanced personal and academic life.
While it is beneficial to spend time developing leadership and team-building skills during co-curricular activities as well as having a good social life after school hours, this would also mean that students may have limited time to study.
Hiring a competent and professional Chemistry tuition teacher can help them to efficiently make use of their time when studying, so that they can holistically do even better in both their personal and academic lives.
Many Chemistry students fear speaking up and asking questions during lessons because they worry about being laughed at in class.
Chemistry 1 to 1 home tuition teachers will teach students to have a better understanding of their lessons in school. Their home tuition teacher will patiently and clearly explain the difficult concepts to them.
Effective Chemistry tuition gives them the confidence of answering tricky questions when faced with unexpectedly challenging problems during school and national exams.
Our qualified Chemistry tuition teachers are experienced, and have thorough understanding of the common problems faced by Chemistry students.
They will be able to deconstruct complex Chemistry topics into simpler concepts, and customize learning materials to improve students’ understanding of these topics.
Increase your ability to give the RIGHT answers that your school exams and national exams require of you.
Engage the most competent and reliable Chemistry tuition teachers, to help you succeed.

Reviews of the effectiveness of hiring experienced Chemistry tuition teachers from Tutors Singapore
Importance of getting good Chemistry tuition
Education in Singapore can be overwhelming and stressful, whether you are striving to maintain an A grade, or want to prevent the risk of having weaker grades.
Just as hiring the right tutor can help you confidently achieve your grade objectives, engaging the wrong tutor can bring much misery when the student receives worse than expected grades at the school or national exams.
Chemistry is an important subject that can help you build a strong foundation for undergraduate studies in Analytical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Teaching, Forensic Science, Geochemistry, Hazardous Waste Chemistry, Materials Science, Pharmacology, Toxicology or Water Chemistry.
Science-related undergraduate courses are highly competitive, and your good grades in Chemistry will give you a competitive edge and a headstart in understanding the important content, compared to your peers.
If you are struggling when studying or revising for Chemistry, getting reliable Chemistry tuition can ensure that you understand all the concepts covered in the syllabus.
An experienced Chemistry tuition teacher can provide his/her full attention to resolve your learning challenges - and will guide you to be able to apply the knowledge that you have learnt, when faced with difficult questions during important school and national exams.
Choosing the right Chemistry tuition teacher
- Our Chemistry tutors range from current & former MOE teachers to undergraduate & graduated tutors (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD) majoring in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or Biochemical Engineering. Every tutor whose profile we will show you has a strong record of helping their students’ marks increase. They scored A’s for their own Chemistry exams, and can teach you useful exam tips and techniques so that you can achieve a quick boost to your grades
- To ensure the effectiveness of every Chemistry tuition session, Tutors Singapore will recommend only tutors who have relevant degrees (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD) in the subjects they teach. Each Chemistry tuition teacher must also have a track record of helping their students gain valuable marks during important exams
- The MOE changes the syllabus whenever there is a need to be current with industry/the economy’s needs, trends and developments
- These changes affect the Chemistry content – and importantly – the exam requirements, answer formats, and marking schemes
- It is crucial that the Chemistry tuition teacher is familiar with the most updated syllabus, and that what they teach does not contradict what is taught in your child’s school
- When providing recommendations of carefully-shortlisted Chemistry tuition teachers, Tutors Singapore will list and describe the relevant teaching experience of our tutors to assure you of their abilities to help students at your level to progress academically, and to achieve higher grades
- Homework is given by school teachers so that their students can practice what was taught in school. It is important to be up to date in doing your homework, so that you can internalize the content. When you hand in your homework, you will find out from your school teacher if you managed to correctly understand what was taught in class. Knowing this helps tremendously when you are revising content for your school exams and for the national exams. Revision is not useful if you are learning and re-learning the wrong concepts that you think are right. Giving your teacher the wrong answers will not help you gain higher marks
- Tutors Singapore’s Chemistry tuition teachers are experienced and have methodical knowledge of the exact skills and content that a student will need to excel in each of the chapters that you must master, in order to do well in your exams. Our Chemistry tutors are also able to create personalized learning schedules, so that their students are able to understand, absorb and retain new knowledge, more efficiently and within a short period of time
- The syllabus, content and examination practices differ for each level of education
- Many Chemistry students are frustrated with not being able to instinctively understand the content that is taught by their school teachers
- Our tutors are familiar with the newest MOE syllabus, and they have taught students at your academic level
- Tutors Singapore accepts tutor applications only when the tuition teacher has a degree (or is in the process of obtaining a degree) in the subject that they teach. This is to ensure that the private tutor has the necessary knowledge and expertise to adequately teach the correct content as well as to help the student arrive at error-free answers when responding to important exam questions
- When providing recommendations of carefully-shortlisted Chemistry tuition teachers, Tutors Singapore will describe the relevant teaching experience of our tutors to assure you of their abilities to help students at your level to progress academically, and achieve higher grades
- It is important that the Chemistry tuition teacher puts in the best effort when guiding and teaching you. A dedicated home tuition teacher will ask pertinent questions in order to know which areas you are struggling with. A committed private tutor is punctual and rarely would suggest that the lesson has to be re-scheduled. Competent tutors have scored A in Chemistry when they took their O and A Levels, and they would have at least a Bachelor’s in Chemistry, Biochemical Engineering or Chemical Engineering. This means that their professional knowledge of Chemistry can help you achieve better grades, whether you are in secondary school or in junior college.
- When recommending Chemistry tuition teachers, Tutors Singapore will facilitate communication between you and the tutor to ensure that both parties have a common understanding of expectations before confirming the tuition arrangements.
- It is often the best for you to continue with one good tutor if the Chemistry tuition teacher is capable of teaching you and has already built a connection with you. This will ensure that you can benefit the most from his/her lessons since the tutor will be more familiar with your weaknesses and strengths, and can work on them throughout the subsequent academic levels
- Our Chemistry tuition teachers have between 2 to 30+ years of experience in teaching students who are often from different schools. These Chemistry tutors have accumulated notes and past year papers that they can provide to you for additional practice. Some tutors also prepare mind maps, common questions and pitfalls in past year papers, as well as self-designed practices referenced from assessment books
- Tutors Singapore will indicate in the tutor’s profiles if the Chemistry tuition teacher is able to provide materials and resources for the students, when we recommend between 4 to 10 qualified tutors to you
- Students each have different starting points as well as grade goals. Some students want to consistently score an A, and some students are aiming to get a C or a B for their national exams. Your Chemistry tuition teacher will evaluate your learning needs, and will suggest workbooks and practice sheets that are most suitable for you so that you can master content that will help you quickly achieve your grade targets
- The best Chemistry tuition teachers can identify their students’ root causes of learning challenges, within the first lessons. These Chemistry tutors are experienced in using relevant step by step methods to competently address these vulnerabilities. They will create a study roadmap to help you systematically learn difficult content within short periods of time
- We show tutor profiles only when they had received good feedback from parents and students. The quality of the Chemistry tuition teacher is very important to your academic success
- Tutors Singapore removes from our database the details of tutors who did not receive positive comments
