He helps students build strong Physics fundamentals, understand difficult concepts step by step, apply formulae and calculations with confidence, and develop exam techniques for the Physics component of Combined Science.
Combined Science Physics Tuition Singapore
Physics rewards students who understand the idea first and then apply the formula. Many Singapore students taking Combined Science lose marks because they memorise equations without knowing when to use them, or run out of time on multi-step calculations in school exams and the O Level. At TutorSay, we provide Combined Science Physics tuition in Singapore for Secondary 1 to Secondary 4 (Sec 1 to Sec 4) through one-to-one lessons, small-group classes, and home tuition across Singapore.
Individual attention on the Physics topics your child finds hardest in school, such as kinematics, moments, or circuits.
Guided explanations, shared problem-solving, and O Level-style Physics practice with Singapore students on the same syllabus.
A Physics tutor who comes to your home, guiding your child through concepts, formulae, and calculations at their own pace.
Build foundations in lower secondary Science, then prepare for Combined Science Physics in Sec 3 and Sec 4.
About Our Combined Science Physics Tuition
Combined Science Physics is not a lighter version of Pure Physics, and it is not tested in isolation. In the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O Level, students answer one Physics structured and free-response paper, and share the multiple-choice paper and practical test with their second Science. Because the grade covers two sciences, a weak Physics component can pull down the overall result. TutorSay lessons are planned around the MOE syllabus and this exam format, so time goes into what the examination tests: clear concepts, correct use of formulae, accurate calculations, and well-structured written explanations.
Combined Science Physics Programme
Our programme moves from core ideas such as measurement, forces, and energy to calculations, practical skills, and exam-style questions. Students taking Physics with Chemistry can also use our Combined Science Chemistry tuition in Singapore to cover both sciences.
Students learn why a law or formula works, so they can choose the right method for unfamiliar questions in school tests and prelims.
Practise rearranging equations, converting units, and showing clear working in multi-step Physics calculations.
Learn to read and sketch motion graphs, draw force and ray diagrams, and write precise scientific explanations that earn marks.
Work through multiple-choice, structured, and free-response questions in the O Level style, with feedback on every mistake.
Why TutorSay for Combined Science Physics
Singapore students in Combined Science often find Physics difficult because it combines concepts, mathematics, and written explanations in one subject. TutorSay helps by explaining ideas clearly, practising regularly, and adjusting each lesson to your child's needs, at a reasonable price.
Content and depth follow the Physics section of Combined Science, not the fuller Pure Physics syllabus.
Lessons target the topics a student finds hardest, whether that is kinematics, moments, energy, or electric circuits.
Students discuss methods and learn from each other's reasoning while working through Physics questions.
Some Physics difficulties come from algebra, units, or reading graphs. We address these gaps while teaching the Physics itself.
Early support builds the foundations that make Sec 3 and Sec 4 Combined Science Physics easier to handle.
Regular practice with calculations and written answers keeps lessons aimed at the Physics topics that need the most work before school exams and prelims.
Combined Science Physics Syllabus
TutorSay supports Singapore students taking Physics as one of the two sciences in Science (Physics, Chemistry) 5086, set by SEAB. From 2027, this O Level subject becomes G3 Science (Physics, Chemistry) K326 under the new Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC). Our lessons cover the Physics content from lower secondary foundations to upper secondary examination preparation.
Physical quantities and units, kinematics, dynamics, mass, weight and density, turning effect of forces, and pressure.
Energy, work and power, the kinetic model of matter, transfer of thermal energy, and thermal properties of matter.
General wave properties, reflection and refraction of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and sound.
Static electricity, current, d.c. circuits, practical electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism.
Younger students strengthen their understanding of measurement, forces, energy, light, and electricity, building the base for upper secondary Physics.
Students revise syllabus topics, practise calculations and explanations, and refine exam technique for the O Level and school prelims.
O Level Combined Science Exam Preparation
In the Singapore-Cambridge O Level Combined Science, Physics appears in three parts of the examination. Knowing how marks are shared helps students plan revision and manage their time, which is a common challenge in Physics papers.
A 40-mark multiple-choice paper covers both of the student's sciences, so Physics questions sit alongside Chemistry questions.
A 65-mark paper of 1 hour 15 minutes testing calculations, explanations, and application of concepts to unfamiliar situations.
A 30-mark practical test of 1 hour 30 minutes that includes Physics experimental skills alongside the second Science.
Students practise O Level past-year papers and school prelim-style questions under timed conditions so they can finish confidently and show clear working.
Combined Science Physics Practical Preparation
The practical test carries marks for both Physics and the second Science, so every mark counts. Guided practice helps students handle apparatus carefully, record readings accurately, and explain results with confidence, whether in the school lab or the O Level practical.
Practise using vernier calipers, micrometer screw gauges, rulers, and stopwatches, and recording readings to the correct precision.
Work through experiments such as the simple pendulum and electrical circuits, and plan fair tests with controlled variables.
Learn to present data in clear tables, plot graphs accurately, and draw sound conclusions from the results.
Detailed feedback on readings, graphs, and conclusions helps students spot errors and refine their practical technique.
Pure Physics vs Combined Science Physics
Singapore parents often ask which pathway suits their child at the Sec 2 to Sec 3 subject-combination stage. Both lead to a recognised national qualification, but they differ in depth and in how Physics is examined.
Physics is a standalone subject with a fuller syllabus and its own examination papers.
Physics is one of two sciences, with a more focused syllabus and a single Physics structured paper (5086, becoming K326 from 2027).
Combined Science students need focused, high-yield Physics revision that fits alongside a second science.
Our lessons are pitched at Combined Science depth, so your child practises the right questions without unnecessary extra content.
Whether your child struggles with formulae, graphs, or multi-step calculations, our Combined Science Physics tuition can help. Choose one-to-one lessons or a small group, and we’ll work with you to find the right fit for Secondary 1 to 4.
Combined Science Physics tuition focuses on the Physics component of Combined Science, where Physics is studied as one of two sciences rather than as a standalone Pure Physics subject. Lessons help students understand concepts, apply formulae, and answer Physics questions in the format used in their examination.
Physics combines concepts, mathematics, and written explanations. Students often struggle to choose the right formula, rearrange equations, read graphs, or manage time on multi-step calculations. Targeted tuition can help students practise these skills step by step.
Topics typically include measurement, kinematics, dynamics, mass, weight and density, turning effect of forces, pressure, energy, thermal physics, waves, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism. Students should confirm the exact topics in the latest syllabus on the SEAB website.
Pure Physics is a standalone subject with a fuller syllabus and its own examination papers. In Combined Science, Physics has a more focused syllabus and is assessed alongside a second science, so tuition needs to be pitched at the right depth for the examination.
Under the current O Level format, Physics appears in a shared multiple-choice paper, a Physics structured and free-response paper, and a shared practical test. Science (Physics, Chemistry) 5086 becomes K326 from 2027 under the new SEC. Students should confirm the latest paper details with their school or on the SEAB website.
Yes. Guided practice can help students use measuring instruments such as vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauges, record readings accurately, present data in tables and graphs, and draw clear conclusions from experiments.
TutorSay lists Combined Science support covering Physics and Chemistry, so students taking this combination can ask about both subjects. Contact the team to discuss available classes, lesson formats, and how to arrange lessons for your child, including support from Secondary 1 to 4.
