IB MYP 7 Physics tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small groups of 3-6 learners, aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme Sciences framework. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to develop deeper understanding of energy, motion, and forces for MYP criterion-based assessment. "Science learning accelerates when students connect classroom concepts to real-world observations," explains our teaching faculty. Our structured approach helps students build confident mathematical reasoning with practical experimental skills and systematic analysis.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Planned retrieval practice at expanding intervals — weekly topic quizzes, monthly mixed reviews, and term revision cycles — timed to strengthen memory just before it weakens, so knowledge stays accessible under exam pressure.
Socratic Questioning
Probing questions that surface each student's reasoning — 'Why did you choose that method?' and 'What if the question changed this detail?' — revealing gaps in understanding early so misconceptions are corrected before they compound.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Graduated support from fully guided to fully independent — tutors first model the solution, then prompt during practice, then observe silently — systematically building competence while ensuring students do not develop reliance on hints.
