Our Primary Science Tuition Curriculum

Science is all around us. We strongly believe in adopting an inquiry-based approach to stimulate students’ curiosity about the world around them. Young children are naturally inquisitive and we hope to cultivate their curiosity and nurture them to be enthusiastic, self-motivated learners. The Edu Experience provides primary Science tuition classes in Singapore to Primary 2-6 students. With our specially designed and effective teaching approach, students are prepared for school examinations as our curriculum specialists follow MOE’s latest syllabus closely.

An Interactive & Engaging Science Tuition Programme!

    • Establishing an exciting, fun, and safe learning environment for all to explore and learn in.
    • Conducting fun-filled experiments which are conducted in our very own Science labs to enhance the understanding of various Science concepts through interactive and hands-on learning. Children are naturally more engaged and excited during these sessions, leading to better learning outcomes. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
    • Using technology to maximise the learning experience. Our teachers use various online tools coupled with our own specially curated questions to test the students’ knowledge and reiterate important concepts. Most importantly, they make learning fun.
    • Equipping students with the skills to relate Science knowledge to daily life.
The Education Experience

Primary 2 Science

At The Edu Experience, we believe in sharing our love for learning about the world around us from a young age. As we introduce scientific concepts and ideas, they are made fun, relatable and observable in everyday life. Every lesson has been distilled and simplified for our young learners so they are able to get an early exposure to the world of Science and we are able to spark their desire to seek out new knowledge using our own TEE CODE framework.

C – Curiosity: Look up high and far, what can you see?

O – Observation: Look around you, what can you see, hear, smell, feel and taste?

D – Discovery: Looking in, what will we discover?

E – Exploration: Looking down, what uncharted territories can we explore?

The Education Experience

Accelerate Your Science Knowledge

Although P2 students are not introduced to Science in school yet, The Edu Experience offers a Science Introductory Programme to them that runs annually from August to October. This 12-week programme runs for one term and gives students a head start in understanding scientific concepts and ideas. With the interactive teaching approach at The Edu Experience and our CODE framework, our students are ready to take on Science as an official subject in P3.

Starting early also means that there is no homework nor examinations for Science. This allows The Edu Experience to focus on making lessons enjoyable and interesting for students to pique their curiosity. Students emerge as motivated learners who investigate and come up with innovative ways to solve problems presented to them.

Armed with a term’s worth of knowledge prior to the official introduction of Science in school, our students are able to stay ahead of their peers. Taking an interest in the subject itself also means that students are excited to learn and will internalise concepts well. They are then more likely to achieve better academic results.

Primary 5 & Primary 6 PSLE Science Tuition

Primary 5 is a crucial year for students as they are introduced to more difficult upper primary topics and have to start preparing for PSLE, one of the most important exams in Singapore that all students have to take. Science tuition for primary 5 students helps them not only with consolidating Science knowledge learnt throughout their primary years, but also internalising the tougher concepts.

Students are required to have a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and methodologies. At The Edu Experience, we help our students prepare for their Science examinations through the development of reasoning and analytical skills, decision and problem-solving skills and the flexibility to respond to different contexts. We adopt an inquiry-based teaching approach where students get to engage in hands-on learning, games and quizzes, and a variety of strategies in addition to written tests. Inquiry-based learning encourages students to make their own connections about what they have learnt and take ownership of their own education which enhances their understanding of the topics they are learning.

The Edu Experience’s worksheets are specially curated by our experienced teachers who are familiar with the MOE syllabus. Students are trained to analyse the different types of questions that will be asked. They are taught how to tackle and answer them skilfully using accurate scientific terms and concepts to score in both MCQ and open-ended sections.

PSLE Science can be challenging for students, and they might not be able to clarify their doubts during school hours in a classroom setting, with many students to only one teacher. A small class size at The Edu Experience allows our teachers and curriculum specialists to provide personalised attention and detailed explanations to students whenever needed, which helps students fully digest and comprehend concepts.

Is Primary Science Tuition necessary in Singapore?

Science is a subject that goes beyond the textbooks, and it is important for students to understand and relate the Science concepts they learn in the real-world to build a strong foundation and grasp of the subject. Students might still be able to manage lower Primary Science without the help of tuition. However, it is recommended to start Science Tuition early to solidify students’ foundation which is important for learning tougher and more complex topics in upper primary and even secondary school.

That being said, Science Tuition for Primary 5 is crucial because students’ workload increases with tougher topics and exam questions are getting more complicated. With the huge jump in standard, many students are unprepared which results in them underperforming in weaker topics or even the subject. At Primary 5, students need to possess strong analytical skills and have the right techniques to answer exam questions correctly and concisely, which The Edu Experience covers in our Science Tuition Curriculum.

Why is Science so difficult?

Science should be learnt with hands-on experiments, visuals, asking questions, and independent investigations (encouraged by teachers) in combination with textbooks. Unfortunately, in a classroom setting in Primary school, often teachers do not have enough time to engage and interest students with the interactive learning methods mentioned above. This means that students are mostly confined to learning from textbooks and experiments, which might not be sufficient to fully grasp the Science concepts and terms. This explains why many students find the subject challenging.

At The Edu Experience, our teachers are focused on a balanced learning approach (theory & hands-on), providing our students with an engaging learning environment which involves active participation to supplement what they learnt in school and facilitate understanding. Our teachers also assess students and point out areas that they are weaker at so that students can focus on these areas and make gradual improvements with guidance. Enquire about our Science Tuition Curriculum here.

Should my child start Science Tuition early?

Children in Singapore are exposed to Science for the first time in P3, where they are required to learn the skills and processes for the subject, which should continue to be developed at higher levels. A strong foundation and making sense of the world around them through Science is crucial and could determine their results as they progress to more advanced Science topics and concepts. As students take on a new subject that they have to master this year (at P3), while juggling with the increase in difficulty for other subjects, additional support such as Tuition could be of great help to their learning process.

Our teachers at The Edu Experience are well-informed of the latest MOE syllabus and are equipped to provide our students with the most suitable teaching methods, ensuring they understand the Science concepts, and are able to apply them in their daily life effectively. During our Science Tuition curriculum, our students learn through fun and interactive lessons supported by hands-on experiments. Clear and detailed notes help our students familiarise themselves with scientific terminology and diagrams. Our worksheets introducing scientific concepts are in easy-to-understand bites so that students are not overloaded with information, but are inspired and excited to learn.

At The Edu Experience, we aim to provide an interactive and fruitful learning experience through our curriculum and help your children excel academically.

How to excel in PSLE Science?

PSLE Science is one of the subjects that has evolved the most, with a whole new format, technological advancements, and new learning methods. For that reason, PSLE Science Tuition in Singapore is increasingly popular among parents to provide their child with the best learning strategies and techniques to score well for PSLE Science.

At P5 & P6, our teachers train students to learn through scientific reasoning techniques where they are capable of translating concepts into familiar contexts through exposure to a variety of question types. PSLE-format practices and timed-trials for revision are conducted to help our students get used to the examination setting. Our notes and worksheets also prepare students for PSLE specific questions and techniques to answer them well.

Excelling in Science does not occur overnight, and PSLE being the most important examination in students’ primary school years, starting preparation in Primary 5 can better equip them with the focus of drilling the basics and progressively manage the jump from lower primary to Primary 5 Science. Therefore, Science Tuition for Primary 5 is crucial to consolidate all the Science knowledge from previous years and to score well for the subject.
