How students improved from Us to As and Bs under Ms Sim’s guidance

Our Chemistry Tutor

The A Level Chemistry tuition programme is tutored by Ms Sim Lily, an ex-lecturer with more than 16 years of experience teaching JC Chemistry. She holds a Bachelor of Applied Science with Honours (Applied Chemistry) from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Upon graduation, she enrolled into National Institute of Education (NIE) and obtained her Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE). She has also attended the Cambridge International Examination Marking Course.

Ms Sim started her teaching career at National Junior College and taught there for more than 10 years. In 2014, she left NJC to fully devote her time in tutoring JC Chemistry. She has tutored students from all junior colleges including Raffles Institution, Hwa Chong Institution, Victoria Junior College and Dunman High School.

I really enjoyed her classes and each lesson felt really tailored to help each of us better improve our chemistry grades. Ms Sim is very detailed when it comes to her explanations, making sure to take the time to go through details that most school teachers would skip when going through questions in class/lectures. I am really grateful to Ms Sim for always taking the time during/after class to answer my questions and correcting my misconceptions. Extremely grateful that I had met her on my A level journey, thank you Ms Sim!!! 🙂

May Zhu, River Valley High School, U to A for Chemistry

Ms Sim is a very dedicated and devoted tutor, who is always willing to go out of her way to help her students. She shares with us her self-compiled notes which are very concise and certainly came in handy to study on the go! Ms Sim is also very detailed in her explanations both in person and over text, always making sure that I fully understand the concept. She even goes into understanding which are my weaker topics having completed my school examinations, and provided me with her self-compiled practice questions . These worksheets that she put together herself are often questions that we rarely come across in school papers, and has given me a substantial amount of exposure. Her patience and guidance in Chemistry has truly geared me up for the A’ Levels! Thank you, Ms Sim, I am very blessed to have you as my Chemistry Tutor.

Ashley Yew, Anderson Junior College, A for Chemistry

I joined Ms Sim in beginning of J2 after CT1, where I did not fare well. Ms Sim is a patient and understanding teacher who would go the extra mile. She would go through in detail and give you feedback about what went wrong in your exams/test papers, which allows you to better amend your errors. Her explanations are clear and concise, with lots of questions to practice! Thanks Ms Sim for not losing faith in all of us and I really enjoyed your chem lessons!! :))

Rachael Mak, Victoria Junior College, U to A for Chemistry

Really thankful for Ms Sim who has guided me to better understand the concepts and address my misconceptions in Chemistry. Through her rigorous practises and useful notes, I am confident that Ms Sim adequately prepared me for the exams. Patient and understanding, Ms Sim also takes extra effort to tailor her lessons to the learning style and pace of her students, making lessons insightful and memorable too! Once again, thank you so much Ms Sim! Will always remember our lessons tgt 🙂

David Vun, St Andrew’s Junior College, E to A for Chemistry

My Chemistry was on the brink of failure, but by Ms. Sim’s teaching methods & constant revision, I was able to clinch an A grade in this year’s A levels. I’ve never been good in Chemistry, but I feel like her notes & revision packages were more than adequate for replacing those from my school, & overall help me to improve my scores.

Sean Wong, Raffles Institution, U to A for Chemistry

Ms Sim is a very kind and patient tutor who is always willing to help her students. She has equipped her students with sufficient resources for practice as well as consolidated notes which are useful for revision. Through her teachings, I was better able to grasp key concepts and draw links between certain topics. Ms Sim also understands the requirements of our syllabus well and has given us sufficient exposure to the different possible types of questions that have been tested, be it in the A levels or preliminary examinations, previously. For all of this, I am grateful to have a chemistry tutor like her. Thank you, Ms Sim!

Ericca Loh, Temasek Junior College, S to A for Chemistry

Ms Sim is a patient and dedicated teacher who teaches effectively and ensures that all her students understand her crystal-clear explanations. She provides us with detailed and clear notes which complement lecture notes from school to further consolidate our learning. We also receive plenty of good practice from her bank of challenging prelim questions which are sorted out by specific concepts for each topic. Such exposure helped me tackle school examination questions effectively. The comfortable learning environment in class which includes 1-1 consultation slots have also allowed me to ask questions confidently and tackle my personal weaknesses. I joined Ms Sim’s class at the start of JC1 and look forward to Chemistry tuition ever since. Thank you for all the help, Ms Sim!!

Why Learn with Us?

Proven Track Record

For all the students she has taught to date, 65% of them scored A’s and 93% scored A’s and B’s. 90% of her students who had originally scored U’s managed to score B’s and above in their A level H2 chemistry examination. That is a significant improvement in grades!

Proprietary Resources & After Class Support

Ms Sim provides summary notes capturing commonly tested key concepts and includes a set of specially compiled comments by Cambridge examiners to help students ace their exams. Having previously attended the Cambridge International Examination Marking Course, it has equipped Ms Sim with the knowledge to know what the examiners are looking out for when marking the A level Chemistry exam papers. Students will have access to Ms Sim’s question bank that has exam questions from all junior colleges to give her students additional practice opportunity and an unfair advantage over their peers. We have also designed a tool called the “Progress Tracker” to help students get real time feedback on their progress in order to maximize their performance. Ms Sim also supports her students between lessons via Whatsapp if they have any questions.

Purposeful & Clear Lesson Delivery

Ms Sim finds out from her students the topics they need help on and reviews their past common test or exam to identify key areas to focus on in their: 1) Application and Bookwork, 2) Weakest component across the three key components (Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry), and 3) Weakest topic. Ms Sim focuses doing a thorough diagnosis because she recognises that each student has different learning needs. She has the ability to break down difficult concepts into simple, bite size learning content to help students in their understanding and application of Chemistry. Consultation time is also allocated to address questions from her students.

Effective Exam Answering Techniques

With many years of teaching experience under her belt and having attended the Cambridge International Exam Marking Course, Ms Sim is able to teach her students answering techniques using keywords for qualitative questions and has also devised faster problem solving methods with reduced steps which helps students save time during exams.
