JC1 H1 Physics tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small groups of 3-6 learners, following Singapore's MOE A-Level syllabus. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to build strong foundations in mechanics, waves, electricity, and modern applications. "Physics mastery comes from seeing formulas as stories about how the universe works," according to our educators. Our structured approach helps students connect theory to practical contexts for interdisciplinary readiness.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
H1 Physics covers fewer topics and has no practical examination, making it less demanding than H2. It suits students who need physics understanding for fields like medicine or life sciences but do not require the depth needed for engineering or physics degrees.
While helpful, A-Maths is not strictly required for H1 Physics. The course uses mathematics at a level manageable for E-Maths students, though some calculus concepts appear. We provide additional support for students without A-Maths background.
H1 Physics develops quantitative reasoning and scientific literacy valuable across many fields. It provides sufficient physics foundation for life sciences, medicine, and non-physics STEM courses while teaching transferable analytical skills.
Our small-group classes are intentionally kept between 3 and 6 students so every learner receives close guidance, timely feedback, and ample practice.
Each lesson is 2 hours, providing ample time for thorough coverage of topics and interactive learning.
Yes. All lesson materials and worksheets are provided and included in the fees. Students should bring regular stationery and, where applicable, school textbooks/workbooks for reference.
Yes. Our materials and pacing align with the MOE syllabus. External syllabuses (e.g. IGCSE, IB) are available upon request.
