Combined Science Tuition
in Singapore

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.

What Students Will Learn from Our Combined Science Tuition

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.

Mastering Measurement and Scientific Skills

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.

Understanding Forces, Energy, and Motion

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.

Exploring Matter and Its Interactions

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.

Learning Life Processes and the Human Body

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.

Applying Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in Real-World Contexts

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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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:

    • Small class sizes: A maximum of 4 students per class for individual attention and active participation.
    • Customised lessons: Tailored to your child’s learning needs while staying fully aligned with the MOE syllabus.
    • Experienced, caring educators: Dedicated tutors who are passionate about helping students succeed.
    • Meta-cognitive learning approach: Equipping students with critical thinking skills and effective study strategies for long-term success.

    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.
