Singapore’s O-Level Combined Science curriculum allows students to explore multiple branches of Science within a single subject, offering a well-rounded education.
It is designed to give secondary 3 and 4 students both breadth and depth in their learning, ensuring they develop a solid grasp of key concepts while understanding how to apply them in real-world situations. The subject also cultivates critical thinking and analytical skills, helping students learn to interpret data, evaluate evidence, and draw logical conclusions. These abilities are essential not only for academic success but also for future studies and careers in diverse fields.
At TLS Tutorials, our O-Level Combined Science tuition is designed to help secondary 3 and 4 students excel in essential Science concepts. We break down complex concepts into clear, manageable explanations, supported by visual aids, real-life examples, and step-by-step problem-solving methods.
Additionally, we keep our class sizes small, so every learner receives personalised guidance and targeted feedback. Each Science subject within Combined Science, be it Chemistry, Physics, or Biology, is taught with the same depth and rigour as an individual subject, ensuring students gain strong foundations across their chosen combinations.
Whether the student’s goal is to move from a pass to a distinction or simply gain more confidence in Science, TLS Tutorials provides the guidance, resources, and support needed to succeed.
By providing a nurturing and stimulating environment, we help students overcome their challenges and achieve their full potential in Combined Science.
Lesson duration: 2 hours (including 10-minute break)
Class size: 1-4 students
*Each Science subject within Combined Science—Chemistry, Physics, or Biology—is treated as an individual subject, with lessons and fees applied separately to ensure focused, in-depth learning in each area.
When students join our O-Level Combined Science tuition, they will gain a deep understanding of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology concepts aligned with the MOE syllabus.
Students will learn to measure accurately using SI units, handle laboratory apparatus safely, and account for precision and errors in experiments. These foundational skills prepare them to approach practical and theoretical questions with confidence.
Through topics like kinematics, Newton’s laws, turning effects, and energy conversions, students will understand how forces influence the physical world and how energy is transferred and transformed in everyday life.
Students will study particle theory, chemical bonding, and the periodic table, enabling them to understand the properties of materials and how they react. They will also perform chemical calculations and investigate factors affecting reaction rates.
From cell structure to human nutrition, transport systems, respiration, and diseases, students will explore the biological processes essential for life. They will also learn genetics, reproduction, and how living things interact within ecosystems.
Through various hands-on activities and discussions, students will connect scientific principles to real-life applications, from sustainable energy solutions to understanding electromagnetic waves in technology.
At TLS Tutorials, we prepare your child for O-Level Combined Science success with targeted support that sharpens problem-solving skills, strengthens exam techniques, and fosters their love for Science.

Star 672025-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Started here in P4 Math, grade has remained consistent at A*. Continued with TLS academy until sec 4 . O Level A Math grade was A1. Teachers here are kind and understanding, they are adaptable and are able to adapt their teaching style to help me with understanding content. Would highly recommend people to join their classes. Karin Kan2025-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My P6 daughter started math tuition at TLS this year and enjoys coming to class each week. She says this is her favourite tuition class. Ms Esther and Abel have periodically run diagnostics tests on her math abilities which really help in identifying the areas where she needs to work on. I see her math grades improving and am hopeful she will do well in the PSLE. Tania Han2025-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mrs Esther is extremely patient and caring, I went from a 46% to a 87% in less than 5 months! The centre is very accommodating and I would highly recommend Sherry Lim2025-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Most tuition centres are about revision, homework and test preparation TLS does that and more; they have monthly diagnostics test and check ins with the parents which is helpful for us to understand our children’s progress. Most importantly through these interactions, you feel they truly have the heart for your kids not just academically but also for their well being ! James S2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've seen a complete transformation in our daughters' attitude towards Maths since they started tuition here! They now look forward to their Maths lessons, which is a testament to the engaging and effective teaching methods used. We're grateful for Ms Giana's dedication and passion for teaching Maths and Abel's passion for caring for the students. Highly recommend! Jing Ren Tan2025-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Education System that focuses on Student's Individual Needs and Customizing every lesson based on the student's own pace rather than the school's pace. I used to barely pass Physics and Chemistry due to lagging behind on the syllabus but Mrs Esther and Mrs Giana helped to strengthen my content significantly to the point that I achieved an A1 for combined sciences for O levels. Mrs Esther especially played a large role in building my confidence and is the main reason I could've done so well. Aiko Kitazawa2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined TSL just a few months before my O Levels. When I first started I felt lost and lacked confidence in my math and sciences. However with Mrs.Esthers support I began to see improvements. She was incredibly patient and took the time to focus on the areas I was struggling with. The small class sizes made sure that I received individual attention, and the worksheets and notes provided were very useful for my revision and practice. This support allowed me to go into my O Levels feeling much more prepared and confident.

Yes. Many JCs accept Combined Science as long as you meet their specific subject and grade requirements. It’s important to check the admission criteria for your desired JC and course to ensure you meet all necessary prerequisites.
It can be manageable with consistent study, proper understanding of core concepts, and regular practice of exam-style questions. While it covers less depth than Pure Science, Combined Science still requires disciplined learning. Focus on clarifying doubts early and developing strong exam techniques to improve both pass rates and overall grades.
Generally, Combined Science is considered less in-depth than Pure Science, which some students find easier. However, “easier” is subjective. It still requires mastering two sciences, understanding their applications, and practising exam questions. Success depends on your learning style, study habits, and the guidance you receive during preparation.
Our tuition centre in Singapore focuses on delivering high-quality, personalised learning through:
We keep our classes small, with a maximum of 4 students per class. This ensures every learner receives personalised guidance, immediate feedback, and ample opportunity to ask questions. The small group setting creates an engaging and interactive environment that helps students learn more effectively and improve faster.
For Secondary Science tuition classes that require rigorous instruction, classes typically last 2 hours. This provides enough time to cover new concepts, review previous topics, and practise exam-style questions.
We offer Combined Science tuition for all three common O-Level combinations: Physics/Chemistry, Physics/Biology, and Chemistry/Biology. To ensure depth in each discipline, our programmes treat every Science subject—Physics, Chemistry, and Biology—as individual lessons. This means that each subject is taught and charged separately, allowing tutors to give focused attention to the specific content and exam requirements of each area while still supporting the overall combination.
We recommend starting Combined Science tuition in Secondary 3. This allows enough time to build a solid conceptual foundation, practise core skills, and address any learning gaps before the crucial O-Level year.
