IB MYP 9 Integrated Science tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers personalised classes of 3-6 students, aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme Sciences framework. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to develop advanced interdisciplinary mastery, independent experimentation, and critical analysis for MYP criterion-based assessment. "MYP criterion-based assessment develops reflective learners who evaluate scientific evidence across disciplines," notes our curriculum team. Our structured approach helps students build exam-ready skills with confident multi-science reasoning and DP preparation.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Self-directed retrieval scheduling where students learn to identify their own weak areas and plan review cycles accordingly — developing the metacognitive skills essential for A-Level success and independent university study.
Socratic Questioning
Rigorous dialectic questioning where students must justify their reasoning and consider counterarguments — 'What evidence supports this?' and 'Where could this logic break down?' — building the analytical rigour expected in higher education.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Minimal scaffolding with maximum autonomy — tutors pose challenging problems and observe, intervening only when students are genuinely stuck — preparing students to structure their own approach to unfamiliar problems.
