Sec 1 G1 Science tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small-group classes of 3-6 students. Under Full SBB, G1 Science takes a hands-on, practical approach — students learn through observation, simple experiments, and real-world connections. Our ESB methodology makes science accessible by starting from what students can see and touch.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Scheduled review sessions at increasing intervals — today, tomorrow, next week, next month — so concepts are revisited just before they fade, building durable long-term memory through strategic timing rather than cramming.
Socratic Questioning
Purposeful questioning that guides children to discover answers themselves — 'How did you figure that out?' and 'What would happen if we tried it another way?' — developing thinking skills rather than just memorising answers.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Step-by-step support that is gradually removed as confidence grows — tutors first demonstrate, then guide with prompts, then step back as children work independently — ensuring mastery at each stage before moving forward.

- ✓Safety awareness: Laboratory safety rules and responsible handling of common materials.
What Sec 1 G1 Science students commonly work on
- 1
Scientific vocabulary — learning key terms and using them in simple sentences
- 2
Recording observations — writing down what they see, hear, or measure systematically
- 3
Connecting science to daily life — recognising science in cooking, weather, and machines
- 4
Reading diagrams — extracting information from scientific illustrations and labels
- 5
Answering in sentences — moving beyond one-word answers to short explanations
Learning Progression
Builds On
Primary Science with basic observation skills and understanding of the natural world
Prepares For
Sec 2 G1 Science or level-up to G2 Science based on school assessment (≥75%)
Key Transition
Sec 1 G1 Science sparks curiosity through practical discovery — students who enjoy hands-on learning thrive when science connects to things they can observe in their own lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
G1 Science emphasises hands-on observation and practical understanding of everyday phenomena. G2 covers similar topics with more depth, technical vocabulary, and structured written responses. Both lead to the SEC examination at their respective levels.
Yes. Schools assess regularly, and students achieving 75% or above may level up to G2. Our tuition builds observation skills, scientific vocabulary, and structured responses — the foundations needed for level-up.
G1 Science includes practical activities and guided experiments. At Ancourage, we use demonstrations, hands-on materials, and real-world examples to reinforce concepts. School lab skills are also practised through our structured approach.
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.
