Sec 3 G2 Combined Science (Chemistry/Physics) tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small groups of 3-6 learners. G2 Combined Science builds conceptual understanding of chemistry and physics at an accessible pace with scaffolded explanations, visual aids, and guided experimental skills. Our ESB methodology helps students master core concepts and prepare for the SEC G2 examination.
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
G2 Combined Science covers core chemistry and physics concepts at an accessible pace with more structured support. G3 includes deeper analysis and more complex application questions. Both lead to valid SEC examination qualifications.
Pure Sciences are typically G3 level. A strong G2 performance may support level-up discussions with the school. Our tuition builds the conceptual foundations that make such transitions more achievable.
Yes. A good G2 Combined Science grade is accepted by many polytechnic courses. For science-heavy courses like nursing or biomedical science, aim for the highest possible grade.
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.
