Content reviewed: Jan 2026
JC2 H2 Chemistry tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small-group classes of 3-6 students, following Singapore's MOE A-Level syllabus. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to refine organic synthesis, inorganic chemistry, and practical skills for peak A-Level performance across all four papers. "Chemistry clicks when students visualise molecular interactions, not just memorise equations," observes our academic specialists. Our structured approach develops the mechanistic thinking and practical competence required for top A-Level results.
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
We provide systematic practice with qualitative analysis, volumetric techniques, and experimental planning. Students learn to present observations clearly and draw valid conclusions from data, skills essential for Paper 4.
Organic synthesis requires students to plan multi-step pathways, selecting appropriate reagents and conditions. We teach systematic approaches to retrosynthetic analysis and develop students' ability to write clear mechanism explanations.
We identify specific gaps and provide targeted reinforcement while maintaining exam preparation momentum. Organic chemistry builds cumulatively, so addressing foundational issues early is essential for JC2 success.
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.
