P6 Science tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers personalised classes of 3-6 students, following Singapore's MOE syllabus. Weekly 1.5-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to build application skills and exam technique for PSLE. "Science learning accelerates when students connect classroom concepts to real-world observations," explains our teaching faculty. Our intensive approach helps children achieve their best PSLE results.
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.

Curriculum Overview
- ✓Scientific process skills: Hypothesis formation, experimentation, analysis, and evaluation aligned with PSLE requirements.
- ✓Cycles: Deep understanding of reproduction, states of matter, and interdependent life cycles.
- ✓Systems: Mastery of human body systems, plant transport systems, and their interactions.
- ✓Interactions: Forces, energy conversions, magnetism, and environmental relationships applied to real-life contexts.
- ✓Energy: Complete knowledge of energy forms, transfers, and conservation principles.
- ✓Matter and its properties: Mastery of states, changes, and interactions of matter in daily life and experiments.
- ✓Application and exam strategies: Answering open-ended questions with precision, using correct scientific keywords and structured responses.
What P6 students commonly work on
- 1
Open-ended questions — structuring answers with keywords and complete explanations
- 2
Cross-topic application — connecting concepts from different themes
- 3
Experimental design — identifying variables and explaining fair testing
- 4
Data interpretation — reading graphs and tables accurately to draw conclusions
- 5
Exam techniques — managing time and avoiding careless errors
Learning Progression
Builds On
P5 Science with cycles, systems (cell, electrical, body systems), and application skills
Prepares For
Secondary Science with specialised subjects (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
Key Transition
This is the PSLE year — P6 students must apply their scientific knowledge confidently to unfamiliar scenarios, as PSLE rewards application over memorisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
We focus on conceptual understanding and application. Students learn to identify keywords in questions, structure answers with scientific terms, and apply knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios—the key skills tested in PSLE.
Open-ended questions require precise scientific language and complete explanations. We drill students on answering formats, teach them to identify what the question is really asking, and build a strong foundation of scientific vocabulary.
PSLE Science covers Cycles (reproduction, water cycle), Systems (body systems, plant systems), Interactions (forces, food chains), Energy (forms and conversions), and Matter. We ensure mastery of all themes with cross-topic practice.
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 1.5 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.
