Hands-On Physics Practical Lab Sessions like No Other in Singapore

76% of our students who achieved distinction for O and A Level Physics also attended our Physics Lab Sessions

The Practical Paper Examination makes up 20% of your overall Physics Grade!

In order to achieve a Distinction in Physics, excelling in the practical component is paramount. Practical skills are acquired through hands-on experience, and cannot be honed through pen and paper alone. Unfortunately, students are often constrained by limited time and laboratory slots in schools, resulting in inadequate exposure and practice. With the Practical exams looming, students may suddenly realise that they have only a few opportunities left to prepare adequately.

Here are 3 Key Problems Commonly Faced by Students

Problem #1: Tight Learning Schedule in School

In a typical school setting, the O and A Level Physics syllabus is densely packed, leaving limited time for practical sessions. As a result, students may not receive the necessary hands-on practice that is crucial for achieving success in the subject. It’s no surprise that many students express their anxiety about the insufficient time and attention given to lab work until the final moments leading up to the exams. The question remains, can students feel confident when they do not receive adequate training and practice for their assessments?

Problem #2: Less Personalised Attention in School

In addition to the limited time and attention given to hands-on practice, students often struggle to get the support they need to succeed in practical components. Many report having to rely on their own problem-solving abilities and feeling unable to get help from their school teachers when needed. This can lead to uncertainty and doubt about whether they are using the correct techniques and approaches in their experiments. At Concept First, we understand the importance of hands-on practice and provide personalized guidance and support to ensure our students are confident and capable in their practical skills.

Problem #3: Labs are Closed Nearing the National Exams

During the crucial period leading up to the national exams, schools restrict access to their labs, leaving students without opportunities for practical sessions, which are essential for maintaining learning momentum. These challenges are similar to those faced by our graduates, and could be what your child is experiencing now. At Concept First, we understand the importance of practical learning, which is why we have invested in a state-of-the-art Physics Lab to provide our students with the best possible facility and support. Each student has access to their own equipment, ensuring the best practical learning experience in Singapore.

At CF, we spare no expense to procure the most advanced and top-notch lab equipment. Our in-house lab tech team ensures that all equipment is well-maintained, giving our students the confidence of using equipment that not only meets but also exceeds the O and A Level standards.

Here is how your child will be supported in Concept First Physics Lab

Comprehensive Physics Lab Manual

Unlike varying instructions provided by different schools, CF’s lab manual is a one-stop resource that is accurate, curated, and comprehensive. Over the past 5 years, we have conducted lab classes for hundreds of students from various schools, gathering enough data to create this reliable manual, which will prepare you for your practical exams.

Ample Hands-on Experience

You do not have to share lab apparatus with other students in our lab. Our state-of-the-art lab equipment is in prime condition, and you have enough time to play around with them to gain crucial experience and skills. Our lab tutors are available to guide you throughout the process, and you can make mistakes in a supportive and safe environment.

Students Explain Why Concept First Physics Lab Classes is Useful!

The practical lessons that are provided also allows students to practice and hone their skills, allowing the students to be prepared for not just the theory Papers 1 and 2, but also Practical Paper 3.

CF's superb teaching style, notes, worksheets and Practicals Classes are great tools that allow me to understand and learn Physics with a breeze.

I do not know of any other centres that prepare students for the practical examinations. So I was surprised when I see a Physics Lab in this Centre. Thank you Concept First!

I highly recommend the practical lab workshop as it enables students to be more confident and assured during school lab practices and the actual ‘O’ level practical examination.

The practical workshops were extremely helpful for revising and going through the different experiments. The tutors are very patient and takes time and effort to explain things, going the extra mile to stay back after lessons to answer questions

Before joining Concept First, I hated Physics throughout my entire Secondary 3 life. With CF Tutors’ help, I finally felt like I was understanding Physics. The practical workshops were also very helpful and made me feel less lost during practical exams in school. Thank you Concept First or making me appreciate Physics a little more!

I am very grateful that I studied in Concept First, the notes given were detailed and it was helpful to me in my revision. I did not expect learning physics to be fun but my physics tutor( Mr Seah) made it possible ☺️ He makes lessons super fun and makes physics much easier to understand for me. He gives great feedback in my work and encourages me a lot and I have managed to jump a few grades! Their 2-page summary notes are awesome too! Overall, I would really recommend Concept First, definitely worth it ! 😊

My journey with Concept First is one that was very fulfilling. The in-depth lessons equipped with questions of varying difficulty levels has allowed my to go from a C6 to A2 for physics in O-levels. I found their 2 page summaries extremely useful as revision. There was endless practice which allowed me to retain my knowledge. I also appreciate Mr Kong’s teaching which allowed me to grasp key concepts quickly and effectively and was apply to apply these concepts along with answering techniques

Mr Ram has been a fantastic teacher with good knowledge about the syllabus and the marking system of Cambridge. He is able to provide advice based on his experience as a student and as a teacher to ensure that our learning experience is optimized. He is also a friendly and casual teacher which bonds well with students and makes the learning environment less tensed. He is also readily available to answer our doubts and questions throughout the day even if it is late at night. He frequently asks questions on our learning experience to try and improve his method of teaching to cater to our different styles of learning. Overall, Mr Ram has been an exceptional teacher which helped me to improve in physics and brings out the best in his students.

Concept First tutors explain their concepts very clearly and provide ample exercises for the students to practise those new concepts. Having studied here for a year, they have greatly aided me in helping myself achieve a B in prelims (initially U grader) as well as spark my passion for Physics (i once hated this subject). Though some may argue, coming from a higher ranking school, CF provides notes which are more helpful than school notes (we can agree to disagree). Definitely worth the cost.

CF has helped me to understand the concepts better as they offer a lot of practices and gives concise notes to help me in my revision. Before I attended lessons, I struggled to understand some topics but now I am confident in my physics knowledge and can clarify my friends' doubts. The teachers are really kind and funny. They will make lessons fun and engaging. I had always looked forward to attending lesson. ❤

My son who is sitting for his O level this year, is weak and struggling in his Physics since sec 3. I had sourced around Singapore to look for a suitable tuition support for his Physics since last year. I am very glad that in June this year, I found Concept First who offers crash course for O level Physics. After his 2 lessons of crash course, I could see that he had regained his confidence for Physics. He is currently very enthusiastic and positive in his learning for this subject. I believe good understanding of the subject is very important especially for Physics as there are so many application questions. And by understanding, he will be able to tackle all kinds of questions in the tests and examination. Indeed I was so glad when I saw his radiant smile after the lessons as he had once again found interest in this subject. He had further requested to enroll for the other revision classes of which he is currently looking forward to.

Concept First teachers had helped me in understanding the physics concepts well. The detailed notes and questions provided are good. After attending the lessons, my grades improved from F9 to B3 in a span of 7 months. I find the lab lessons useful and I learnt how to do many experiments from the teacher. Without CF, I wouldn’t be able to achieve the grade in such a short time. Thank you so much Mr Kong and team.
