Concept First Physics

Reviews from Past Students

Sayyid Mohdi Bin SafiyullahJurong Secondary School

I joined Mr Kong’s tuition centre when I was in secondary 3. I was getting B4 for physics and failing class tests most of the time. However, with the help of Mr Kong, I gradually improved. I finally achieved A1 for physics in my final GE2 examination so I am very grateful that I was able to join this tuition centre. His notes and worksheets are always improving and are of very high quality. I definitely recommend Mr Kong’s tuition to anyone interested in improving their physics subject. His class is also engaging as he has different types of toys to show the physics concepts, making it really easy to digest difficult concepts.

Mr Kong is a very thoughtful teacher who would always seek to improve himself and his lessons. He plans his lessons to suit the needs of his students and always makes sure tht his students understand the concepts before applying them (unlike many other teachers such as my school’s physics teacher). I would say that Mr Kong is one of my favourite teachers out there. Overall, coming to this tuition centre is really worth it and this is also evident in my grades (D7 to A2!).

Celest TeoNan Hua High School

Mr Kong’s Physics Tuition provided me with adequate practice from his hand-picked questions, comprehensive hand-written notes, and in-depth explanations in class. All these definitely boosted my understanding of Physics concepts and led me to top my class with an A1 grade in my Prelims, from and F9 in my common test 1. I am glad I joined Mr Kong’s class as I doubt, I would have made such a great improvement without his help.

His effective teaching techniques and engaging lessons pulled me up quickly and I eventually managed to obtain an A1 for my year-end Preliminary Examinations 3 months later. He makes lessons very interesting and its the first time that I actually looked forward to going to tuition! 🙂 I myself am surprised that I could jump so many grades in a short period of time with his help. Mr Kong is also very humorous and never fails to brighten up the mood of the class.

Tessa ChanJurong Secondary School

After going for this Tuition, my grades for physics shot up drastically from F9 to B3. Notes are very concise and concepts are well explained. The practice booklets together with the summaries and formula sheets helps to push our grasp of the subjects quickly!

Francis ChuSt. Andrew's Secondary School

After attending Mr Calvin Kong’s class since early this year, my results have had a tremendous improvement from C5 in Secondary 3 SA2 to a Distinction for my Secondary 4 Preliminary Examinations. I find Mr Kong’s teaching style and materials provided very efficient and effective for my learning as compared to my previous tutors. He is very approachable and is always willing to meet outside lesson time to answer my doubts. Thank you, Mr Kong!

James LaiKentridge Secondary School

I entered the tuition centre hoping to improve my physics. My score during Sec 3 mid years was a horrendous F9. I expected nothing much from this tuition and just wanted my score to be raised to a C6 or C5. However, Mr Kong’s lessons were really interesting!. His two page summary for every chapter were really effective. The worksheets he gives in class helped me to understand chapters better. Most importantly, his lessons were never boring, in fact, he got me interested in physics! My grades then improved by at least 5 grades by the end of the mid terms in Sec 4. I definitely recommend Concept First!

Liew Yee KayAnglican High School

I always had much difficulty and found Physics a cumbersome and boring subject. But after attending his physics tuition class, I slowly understood it, and finally got an A1 at the end! One thing I really appreciate about Calvin is the fact that he cared for us all as individuals. When I was unsure about other subjects like A. Math, he will stay back after class with me to clear my doubts. And for that, I’m really thankful!

Lim Cheyn TongFuchun Secondary School

Mr Kong has good mastery of the subject, and his teaching style has indeed made me understand and like Physics so much more. He is one of the best Physics Teacher I have met who knows how to teach the concepts effectively, not only to prepare us for our exams but also to promote critical thinking in real life. His lessons are enjoyable, and he is very helpful and approachable. Thank you!

Mr Kong is an approachable and helpful teacher that guides us in every way possible. I can always count on him to explain the abstract concepts clearly and with the addition of different learning materials- difficult exam questions, consolidated notes and visual animations, students can expect to receive a straightforward and methodological approach in succeeding in their exams. Personally, I had consistently achieved C grades in my physics exam, however ever since joining, I have been attaining A or A* grades for my mock or semester exams.

Chew Hong YuFuhua Secondary School

Ever since joining Concept First physics tuition, I have a better understanding of the topics. Moreover, I can see improvement in my class tests and exams. Mr Kong teaching is easy to understand and he makes physics way more interesting with his props and storytelling. Unlike my previous physics tuition, Concept First provides the best materials for every student. The one page summary and answering guide saved me countless hours, instead of flipping my textbook, I can focus on studying the notes. With so many benefits, I truly recommend Concept First tuition to everyone who needs help in physics.

Irfan AbdullahJurong Secondary School

Mr Kong has good mastery of Physics and is extremely approachable and supportive. His teaching style suits different types of students with different capabilities. He has certainly given the motivation and support needed for me to give my best for this subject. He is the best teacher I have met who gives in optimal effort to make lessons enjoyable and efficient. He has also proven to be one of the best tutors in the market in helping 90% of students attain As over the years. When I joined his tuition centre in 2017, I had a grade of F9 and within 2 months, he helped me pull my grades up to an A2! I would definitely recommend the future batch of students to have faith in Mr Kong’s methodology.

Braxton GanMaris Stella High School

Mr Kong has been my Physics tutor for the last 2 years since June last year in 2017. My grade before I joined was C6 and my most recent grade in prelims was a B3. He has helped me improve greatly throughout the course of this 2 years and helped me have a better understanding of Physics and the various topical concepts. Through the informative notes the countless revision worksheets, I was able to revise better and have better confidence in my preparation. I highly recommend Mr Kong, as a tutor to improve your child’s Physics grade.

Chew Yu RongNan Hua High School

Mr Kong is able to explain many different concepts and he ensures every student understands the concepts. Under his tutelage, I was able to improve from an E8 to B3 within three months. I feel that I have learnt a lot under Mr Kong. There were many times I struggled with the concepts, and Mr Kong took the effort to use different softwares to explain the concept. Mr Kong’s lessons are well-prepared and his materials are very useful in helping me to prepare for the O levels. Over these months, I have improved tremendously and have understood many of the concepts I used to struggle with last time.

Mr Calvin Kong’s Physics Tuition Class is so much more than what it seems. With only two hours sessions per week, I was not just able to master Physics well, but also to consult Mr Kong on E and A Maths. He has made topics easier to understand and has helped tremendously in building up my confidence in getting an A1 for all the 3 subjects.

Megan WangSt. Margaret's Secondary School

Came to this tuition centre only a few months ago (in July I think) and at that time I was failing pretty badly. In a span of just 5 months, my grade improved from D7 to A2 which is something pretty remarkable. I would not have been able to do it without the help of Mr Kong. Thank you Mr Kong for helping me so much in Physics and for making this subject so much more enjoyable.

Nathaniel TanSt. Patrick's School

No matter how hard I tried to understand concepts from O Level assessment books, I ended up failing and even got recommended to drop to combined sciences. Later on, I joined Calvin’s physics tuition class and neither could I believe but my whole thought process changed and I managed to get an A2 for O Level Pure Physics, something I would not even have hoped for in the past!

Enzo TanSchool of Science and Technology, Singapore

Mr Kong has clarified many of my doubts in Physics since I joined in the end of Secondary 3. He is always very detailed in his explanation of concepts, and also in breaking down questions so that students can understand it easier and better. I feel that I am now more certain and confident in answering Physics questions, as I now have a better understanding of the various topics in the Physics syllabus, and have seen a big improvement in my grades from E8 to B3.

JeromeWestwood Secondary School

I really find the notes provided by Mr Kong very meaningful and that they are very detailed in terms of clarity and information. I also find Mr Kong very entertaining and jovial during lessons as he finds ways to make lessons more enjoyable and fun to understand, and it is really not boring to attend his lessons too. Mr Kong’s two page notes and consolidation booklets, and lessons notes and flipping through my textbook. Through Mr Kong’s lessons, I improved my physics grades from F9 to B3. All in all, I am very grateful and thankful for everything that Mr Kong has done for me, and I really wish that I can do you proud with my O Level results! Thank you Mr Kong!

B.VivekaCrescent Girls’ School

Concept first helped me understand the concepts behind physics instead of plainly memorising them. The summary and other materials like compilation of generally asked questions were really useful. I have also seen my grades improve from C5 in MYE to A2 in prelims. I am also able to handle the questions more confidently due to the exposure to a large number of questions of different difficulty.
