Welcome To The Best In Singapore - Home Tuition Division
Hello 🙂 I am Amelia Lee, PhD – Princeton University, Materials Science Engineering.
I am one of the co-founders of The Best In Singapore, and I lead our Education Division comprising over 31,000 of Singapore’s most qualified and experienced home tutors.
Since 2012, we have established a strong track record of helping our students achieve better grades. You have probably heard about us from your school teachers, classmates, relatives or colleagues.
Getting into a good school and maintaining good grades is important for anyone who wants to do well in their chosen career – whether you plan to eventually work in Singapore, Asia, Europe or the United States.
Exams now require students to be able to remember large chunks of information, analyze complicated scenarios and then come up with appropriate answers.
The easier part of all these important tasks is probably the memorization of content from your textbooks. It certainly is more challenging to be able to correctly develop your higher-order thinking skills. Once you can do this, you will then need to apply the analyses are required by the increasingly difficult exam questions. Your school teachers are very good, but they are sometimes too busy to answer every question that you have.
In order to consistently achieve higher grades, you need appropriate guidance from exceptional home tutors who:
- Have proven track records of guiding their students to better understand and apply the complex information
- Help you avoid careless mistakes
- Can identify what the exam questions really want you to do
- Are are able to give you valuable strategies to answer difficult exam questions
Choose tutors with proven track records today, so that your grades will improve in time for the coming major exams.

Good Reviews By Parents & Students
Comments and feedback of the results of hiring professional home tutors from The Best In Singapore

My husband and I could see that Henry was trying to do well in Science, but his grades were not what he has been hoping for. We decided to hire Mr Timothy from The Best In Singapore. He used to teach at a good primary school and is familiar with what Henry needs to do and to learn in order to score higher marks. Henry is much happier now and is starting to enjoy Science.
Mrs Hong
Rosyth School

Science has not been my favourite subject since primary school days. I much prefer English, Chinese and Maths. By Sec 2, it was obvious that I should take combined science and not any of the pure science subjects. Even then, I was having problems from the first few weeks of Sec 3. My parents and I figured this would be a good time to hire a tutor, and we found Ms Geraldine after looking at some really good tutor profiles. Ms Geraldine is friendly and she teaches Science in an interesting way. I dislike Science less, thanks to Ms Geraldine, and scored my first B a few weeks ago. So maybe I will eventually start to like Science.
Sok Zhen Tan
Holy Innocents’ High School

Ms Koh has been teaching me Science since Sec 2. She and I agree that I had been rushing through whenever I try to answer questions. This has been how I made so many careless mistakes even though I had studied and revised carefully. I guess it's because I was nervous. Ms Koh taught me exam techniques as well as ways to help me analyze and think clearly. I scored A for my O Levels.
Alfred Ng
Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School

My Science grades since primary school have been A's and I want to take pure Chem and pure Physics in Sec 3. I wanted additional guidance, so we hired Ms Magdalene. She had written assessment books on Science, so I am very lucky that we were given her profile to choose from when we contacted The Best In Singapore

“AIMS
1.3.1. Value of Lower Secondary Science E/N(A)
As Lower Secondary Science bridges Primary Science and Upper Secondary Science, Lower Secondary Science education needs to help students obtain baseline scientific literacy for basic citizenry (Section 1.2 21st Century Competencies and Scientific Literacy), and to equip
students with a strong foundation to support their further studies.
LSS continues the General Science emphasis of Primary Science before students pursue the disciplinary subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at upper levels. This approach in LSS supports students in
making connections across disciplines and solving interdisciplinary problems.
1.3.2. Aims of Lower Secondary Science E/N(A)
The aims of the Lower Secondary Science E/N(A) syllabuses are to:
a. cultivate students’ appreciation of Science as a collective human endeavour to understand the natural world, and as a way of thinking rather than just a body of facts.
This involves promoting awareness that the study and practice of science are cooperative and cumulative activities. These activities are subject to social, economic, technological, ethical and cultural influences and limitations.
In addition, the applications of Science are generally beneficial but the abuse of scientific knowledge can be detrimental.
b. inspire students to make informed decisions and take responsible actions in sciencerelated issues that concern their lives, the society and the environment.
This involves stimulating students’ curiosity, interest and enjoyment in Science and matters relating to science and technology as well as developing their care for the environment.
c. help students develop in fundamentals that are integral to scientific inquiry and innovation, including problem-seeking and problem-solving.
These fundamentals include the (i) acquisition of core ideas, (ii) acquisition of the practices of science, and (iii) development of values, ethics and attitudes relevant to Science that would help students become confident citizens in a technological world.
4. ASSESSMENT
4.1 Purposes of Assessment
Assessment is the process of gathering and analysing evidence about student learning to make appropriate decisions and enhance learning. Assessment is integral to the teaching and learning process. In designing assessments, we need to have clarity of purpose.
Assessment is the extent to which desired knowledge, skills and attitudes are attained by students. It should produce both quantitative and qualitative descriptions of a learner’s progress and development that can be analysed and used to provide feedback for improving future
practices.
• Assessment provides feedback to students, allows them to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Through assessment, students can monitor their own performance and progress. It also points them in the direction they should go to improve further.
• Assessment provides feedback to teachers, enables them to understand the strengths and weaknesses of their students. It provides information about students’ attainment of learning outcomes as well as the effectiveness of their teaching.
Assessment provides feedback to schools. The information gathered facilitates the placement of students in the appropriate stream or course, and the promotion of students from one level to the next. It can also help to inform the review of instructional programs in schools
• Assessment provides feedback to parents. It allows them to monitor their children’s learning attainment and progress through the information obtained.”

5.2 the applications of science may be both beneficial and detrimental to the individual, the community and the environment
5.3 science transcends national boundaries and that the language of science, correctly and rigorously applied, is universal
5.4 the use of information technology is important for communications, as an aid to experiments and as a tool for interpretation of experimental and theoretical results.
ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES
A Knowledge with Understanding
Students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in relation to:
1. scientific phenomena, facts, laws, definitions, concepts, theories
2. scientific vocabulary, terminology, conventions (including symbols, quantities and units contained in ‘Signs, Symbols and Systematics 16–19’, Association for Science Education, 2000 and the recommendations on terms, units and symbols in ‘Biological Nomenclature 4th Edition (2009)’ published by the Institute of Biology, in conjunction with the Association for Science Education)
3. scientific instruments and apparatus, including techniques of operation and aspects of safety
4. scientific quantities and their determination
5. scientific and technological applications with their social, economic and environmental implications.
The subject content defines the factual knowledge that candidates may be required to recall and explain. Questions testing these objectives will often begin with one of the following words: define, state, describe, explain or outline.
B Handling Information and Solving Problems
Students should be able – in words or by using other written, symbolic, graphical and numerical forms of
presentation – to:
1. locate, select, organise and present information from a variety of sources
2. translate information from one form to another
