Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 2 Science tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small-group classes of 3-6 students, following Singapore's MOE syllabus. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to integrate Biology, Chemistry, and Physics concepts for strong upper-secondary science subject choices under Full SBB. "Science learning accelerates when students connect classroom concepts to real-world observations," observes our academic specialists. Our structured approach helps students qualify for Pure Sciences or build strong Combined Science foundations.
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 Endeavour: Hypothesis formulation, fair testing, data collection, and evaluation of results.
- ✓Diversity: Continued study of the classification of living and non-living things, and their interrelationships.
- ✓Models: Deeper understanding of particle models, atomic structure, and cell models for biological processes.
- ✓Systems: Study of human body systems, plant transport systems, reproductive systems, and photosynthesis/respiration.
- ✓Interactions: Exploring forces, energy conversions, heat transfer, magnetism, and interactions within ecosystems.
- ✓Examination readiness: Mastery of scientific keywords, structured answering techniques, and familiarity with MOE assessment formats.
What Sec 2 students commonly work on
- 1

- 2
Structured answers — using keywords and logical flow in explanations
- 3
Practical skills — identifying variables and planning basic controlled experiments
- 4
Applying to new contexts — using knowledge in unfamiliar scenarios
- 5
Subject selection — preparing for Pure or Combined Science choices

Frequently Asked Questions
Sec 2 Science grades determine whether students qualify for Pure Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) or Combined Science pathways. Strong performance opens more options and positions students for science-related careers and university courses.
This depends on aptitude, interest, and future goals. Pure Sciences suit students considering STEM fields in university; Combined Science is appropriate for those pursuing non-science paths. We help students identify their strengths during Sec 2.
Sec 2 integrates concepts from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, requiring students to connect ideas across disciplines. Structured answering with scientific keywords and experimental design skills also demand more rigour than Sec 1.
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.
