The thoughts of losing your love one is unbearable. God bless the families who was a victim of this quake.

Paying tribute to the founding father of Singapore.

Physics Tuition - Play video game to do well in studies!!

Play video games to do well in studies!!?? Sounds too good to be true? The title of the post seems to encourage students to play more video games to help them in their studies. Don't get me wrong. This is not my intention. What I meant to say is that we can learn a lot from video games and playing them occasionally is alright.

I am sure most of you (parent and students included) play video games. Many of you should have experience getting hooked on playing Candy crush (myself included) or any other games. You just have to get to the next stage and beat the next highest score. Have you ever wondered why are we so interested in playing and challenging video games levels but not so when it comes to studying?

If you had noticed how video games are designed, they usually starts from an easy level and moving progressively to more and more challenging levels. This is intentional. The reason is to give players a taste of success so that players will continue to play the games. This is the key to motivation!

Imagine playing a game where you couldn't get past level 1 after numerous tries. Would you still continue? I doubt so. Most likely you will give up and blame it on the design of the game or your skills in playing the game. This is the same as studying. If you have never passed any Physics test before, you will just blame it on Physics being too difficult or blame yourself for not being smart enough and give up on the subject and no amount of Physics Tuition can help.

In order to give students the motivation to continue challenging a game level or a difficult physics questions, the must have a taste of success first. Start with the easy level! Show them that they can do it. Starts with the basic and eventually they will be motivated to challenge more difficult levels and questions.

Physics Tuition - Khan Academy physics lessons online

After a very long while.... finally another posting.... 
i am here to share with you guys on a very good website called Khan Academy

This site feature videos lessons on various topics including maths and physics. I must say the videos are pretty good and broken down to easy to understand bite size. It is a very good resources to better your understanding on any topics your are not confident with. It is also a very good resources to supplement your Math or Physics tuition. However do take note that the topics are not organized according to the Singapore syllabus and you will have to select the correct topics to learn.

They also have practice exercises that you can do although the units used may not be SI units. Have fun revising and good luck for mid year examination!

Physics Tuition - Key To Success

Guess most of you are having your 'O' and 'A' Level now. Just wanted to share with you all a video about Steve Jobs (The creator of I Phone, if you don't already know him) idea about how to be successful. Enjoy the short clip and persevere for your exam and be successful!

Physics Tuition - How to not forget!


I am sure many students out there always face the difficulty of having to memories facts for different subjects such as different laws and theories for Physics. I am going to introduce a powerful technique to help you guys out there to strengthen your memory and make remembering those facts easier.

Many students are still using what i call 'brute' technique for memorizing. An example is repeatedly reading the same thing for a few times and just cramp it in to your brain. This is not the most effective way of memorizing. In fact memorizing is more effective using creativity. 

What do i mean by using creativity? Well here is an example. Imagine this story with me...
There is a long and heavy snake moving very fast towards a candle. Suddenly a lighting strike on the candle and lit it up. The surrounding suddenly become warm and the candle started dripping wax on the snake face making it look like a mole. 

Now try to recall the story again. Can you remember it? If you can, you have just memorised the 7 SI units.
In that story above, "There is a long (Length) and heavy (Weight) snake moving very fast (Time) towards a candle (Candela). Suddenly a lighting (Ampere) strike on the candle and lit it up. The surrounding suddenly become warm (Kelvin) and the candle started dripping wax on the snake face making it look like a mole (Mole). 

Well this is just an example. I am sure you can think of more interesting stories with vivid visual image to help you remember those stuff you want to remember.Try it on some of the Physics theories you want to memories and enjoy while doing it!

Open Lecture

Hello people, it has been a long while again. Recently i just got to know a fantastic site and i would like to share it with you people here. It is openlecture.org. It is a great site where they have videos of lectures for different topics. Don't think they have anything on Physics now but i am sure it will be there soon. Currently they have some A level lectures on Mathematics and some other subjects. Go take a look at the lectures and have fun!

I have attached one of the video on Binomial distribution here. Enjoy!
