Pure Physics at O-Level is half calculation, half vocabulary. We drill both — method-mark working and the exact terms markers reward.
Block on a slope. Your child draws weight pointing down. Misses the normal. Skips the friction. Now the resultant force equation is wrong, the acceleration is wrong, the time-to-bottom is wrong. Six marks evaporate from a single forgotten arrow at the start.
"I forgot the normal force. I always forget the normal force when the surface isn't flat."
We drill the FBD checklist by name: contact = normal, rope = tension, motion = friction, always weight. Every mechanics question starts with the diagram, and the diagram gets checked against the four-force list before any maths happens. The setup is the marks.
Yes — that's my child →Every topic in the Sec 3 / 4 (G3) Pure Physics syllabus, taught in the order that builds skill. We refresh the materials every year against the latest SEAB exam reports.
The methods we teach with — applied across the term, calibrated to where each student needs them most.
Most lost marks are habit, not knowledge. We track them, name them, and drill them out.
A typical Sec 4 question: "A 5 kg box is dragged along a rough horizontal surface by a 30 N horizontal force. Find the frictional force if the box accelerates at 2 m/s²." Most students jump to F = ma. Our working: (1) draw FBD with weight, normal, applied force, and friction; (2) Newton's 2nd law: F_net = ma → 30 - friction = 5 × 2; (3) friction = 20 N. The diagram comes first, the calculation second — and you've earned 2 method marks even before the final answer. Habits like this drilled at Sec 3 mean Sec 4 is mostly about technique, not surprise.
No surprises. The structure is the same week to week — students settle in fast.
"I highly recommend Genie Education Hub. Teacher Michelle and Vanessa are very helpful and explain key concepts for A Math and Physics very well. I have improved a lot because of the personalised help and constant advice and feedback."
Each term covers 8 weekly lessons. Missed lessons are credited into the next term — credit applies for public holidays, school holidays, official school activities, and absences with a medical certificate.
Both branches see Sec 3 / 4 students from across the north and west of Singapore. A snapshot of the schools currently in our classes.
