Is Your Child Struggling with Their O-Level Physics Foundation?
Challenges Faced by O-Level Physics Students
1. Grasping Conceptual Physics
One of the primary hurdles O-Level Physics students face is transitioning from concrete, observable phenomena to abstract, theoretical concepts. Topics like forces, energy, and electricity often require students to visualize and understand invisible forces or energy transfers. For instance, the concept of potential energy, which is often counterintuitive, can be challenging to grasp. Similarly, understanding the behavior of electric fields and magnetic fields can be difficult as they are not directly observable.
2. Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Problem-Solving
While understanding the theory is crucial, applying it to solve numerical problems can be a significant challenge. Students often struggle with identifying the relevant formulas, substituting correct values, and interpreting the results. For example, questions involving kinematics, where students need to calculate displacement, velocity, or acceleration, can be daunting. Similarly, problems related to electricity, such as calculating resistance or current in complex circuits, can be error-prone.
3. Mastering Calculations and Units
Physics involves a significant amount of calculations, and students often struggle with correct unit conversion and algebraic manipulation. For instance, problems involving pressure, volume, and temperature (ideal gas law) can be confusing due to the various units involved (Pa, m³, K). Moreover, understanding the relationship between different units (e.g., force, mass, and acceleration) is essential for accurate calculations.

What’s unique about a 1-to-1 O-Level Physics Tuition class versus an O-Level Physics Tuition Centre?
1. Enhanced Focus and Reduced Distractions
Unlike classroom environments where distractions can be prevalent, 1-to-1 tuition provides an optimal learning atmosphere. Students can concentrate solely on physics concepts without external interruptions, leading to deeper comprehension and improved retention of information. This focused environment is particularly beneficial for students who find it challenging to concentrate in group settings.
2. Tailored Exam Preparation and Strategy Development
A 1-to-1 tutor can meticulously analyse the student’s strengths, weaknesses, and exam performance to develop a highly customized exam preparation strategy. This involves not only covering the syllabus comprehensively but also focusing on specific question types, time management techniques, and error analysis. The tutor can provide targeted practice and feedback, significantly enhancing the student’s exam readiness.
3. Greater Flexibility in Pacing and Learning Style Accommodation
Every student learns at their own pace and has unique learning preferences. 1-to-1 tuition offers the flexibility to adjust the pace of learning to suit the student’s needs. Whether the student requires more time to grasp complex concepts or desires to accelerate through familiar topics, the tutor can accommodate their pace. Additionally, the tutor can adapt their teaching style to align with the student’s preferred learning modality, be it visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.

O-Level Physics Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of O-Level Physics tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time O-Level Physics Tutors – refers to private tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the tutors here are still schooling: A-level graduates, Diploma students/graduates, or Undergraduates. To a lesser extent, there are also University graduates and working professionals offering tuition part-time and they fall under this category. Part-time tutors are the cheapest option for home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time O-Level Physics Tutors – refers to full-time private tutors who teach as a profession. Full-time tutors may/may not be university graduates but often have significantly more teaching experiences than part-time tutors as they tutor lots of students 1-to-1 as well as take up jobs in tuition centres teaching groups of students in classes.The actual qualifications and experience of a full-time tutor can vastly differ between individuals, hence so does the tuition rate they command.
– O-Level Physics School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. Tutors under this category tend to be the most experienced and qualified in private tutoring and thus command the highest tuition rates. Be prepared to pay a premium in order to engage these teachers successfully.
Do I have to pay any agent fees?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for O-Level Physics lessons conducted. A portion of the total lesson fees usually in the first four weeks of lessons will be allocated to SmileTutor as the agency commission. This is deducted directly from the tutor’s fees, so you do not pay anything extra.
However, there is a 9% GST imposed on the agency commission. For example, if you engage a O-Level Physics home tutor for $50 per class for once a week, the agency commission will be $100. Hence, the GST imposed is $9. This is only a one-off payment only and from 3rd lesson onward there is no GST since you pay the tutor directly. The tutor’s fees are not subjected to GST.
To facilitate the process for us to collect the agency fees, you are required to cooperate with us by transferring the allocated agency commission (usually 50% of the 1st month fees) + GST directly to SmileTutor. Thereafter, you will pay the remaining lessons to the tutor directly. Our Tuition Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details and instructions upon lesson confirmation.
Are there any contracts?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our private O-Level Physics tutors. When any assignment is confirmed, there are guidelines to follow to ensure that both the student and tutor can have a smooth and rewarding experience.
How can I trust the private O-Level Physics tutors recommended by SmileTutor?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 50,000 tutors based on multiple factors such as profile completeness, recent job acceptance, track records, parent reviews, and more. With this system, we are able to ensure that parents & students are constantly matched with the cream of the crop O-Level Physics tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private O-Level Physics tutors have improved and our numbers of compliments had increased tremendously.
SmileTutor treats the credibility of our tutor profiles very seriously. All suspicious tutor applications or profiles with missing information are immediately investigated and blacklisted. For tutees who wish to personally verify their tutor’s qualifications and identity, you may request that the tutor bring their relevant certificates on the 1st lesson. (We do not to send online documents due to privacy laws). For current school teachers, it is our SOP to remind tutors to bring teacher’s pass on their first lesson as a form of verification to give tutee a peace of mind.

Is O-Level Physics a difficult subject?
O-Level Physics can vary in difficulty depending on the student’s strengths, but it’s clear that the subject is becoming more challenging and intricate. With increasing complexity, students not only need to understand the formulas but also commit them to memory and apply them to real-world problems.
However, memorization alone isn’t enough. When faced with more advanced questions, many students find themselves stuck, even if they’ve memorized the material. It’s the deep understanding and application of concepts that makes all the difference in overcoming these hurdles.
Why do students struggle with O-Level Physics Singapore?
Some students might struggle with Singapore O-Level Physics more than the rest because they go into the subject already feeling like they will not be able to solve it. The mental block can prove to be daunting for many.
A negative mindset can turn into a vicious cycle of low confidence as well as poor performance. Practicing in O-Level Physics is also crucial in improving. It takes a lot of patience on themselves in order to see improvements.
What are the benefits of starting O-Level Physics tuition early?
Starting O-Level Physics tuition early gives your child ample time to build a solid understanding of core concepts.

Alternatively, you may view some of our latest available tutors at our ‘View Tutors’ page. From this page you can do some DIY sourcing and indicate your interest directly there. However, do note that the availability of the tutor may not be guaranteed. Our Coordinators will be swift to advice you on the availabilities of the requested tutor and recommend any similar tutors that may be available if needed.
Where are the O Level Physics tuition lessons conducted?
The O Level Physics tutoring lessons will be conducted at a pre-determined location according to your preference (usually at your home). If it is not convenient to have tuition conducted at your home, you may request for the tuition to be conducted somewhere else, such as the tutors home or at a convenient public location such as libraries, cafeterias, hostels, etc.
The location of the tuition lessons should be determined before the confirmation of lessons. Any change in address after lessons have started is subject to both parties approval
How are lessons conducted?
One of the main benefits of private tutoring is that we do not adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Every O Level Physics tutor has their unique methodology, personality, and teaching style. During the prospecting phase, our coordinators do our due diligence to find out your child’s needs and weakest points in the O Level Physics subject in order to match the most suitable tutor.
Usually, the first lesson is a ‘getting to know’ phase, where tutors will gauge your child’s interest in the subject, current level of proficiency, and spot areas of weakness. From the second lesson onwards, tutors will generally be more prepared to conduct the lessons according to the student’s learning or syllabus.
If you are a more hands-on parent, you can also communicate with the tutor and provide suggestions on which area you’d like the tutor to focus more on (i.e. composition writing). As there are no fixed lesson plans or arrangements, both the clients and tutors are free to discuss and conduct their lessons in any way that benefits the student’s learning.
Can I postpone lessons dates & timings?
Yes, of course. However, all postponements of lessons must be made at least 24 hours in advance of lessons, except for special cases (such as medical emergencies).
For postponement of the first lesson, SmileTutor must be informed via phone call at +65 6266 4475 (Mon to Sun 9am-8pm). A confirmation SMS will be sent to you acknowledging your postponement after the call. However, if you are informing at least 48 hours in advance, an SMS made to +65 9014 4201 will suffice.
Postponements of lessons after the first lesson may be made directly between tutor and tutee.
Please note that failure to make a postponement at least 24 hours in advance may incur compensation to the tutor for time loss (e.g wasted trips). Generally, the compensation amount is 50% of 1-lesson fee.
Can I terminate lessons if the tutor is not suitable?
You may terminate the tuition at any time after the first lesson but must inform SmileTutor at least 24 hours in advance of the next lesson and must pay for all lessons conducted. Terminations made less than 24 hours before the lesson will incur a late charge of 50% of that lesson’s total fee.
Termination Procedure
1. Inform SmileTutor via a phone call to +65 6266 4475 (9am-8pm) at least 24 hours in advance before the next lesson
2. Pay for lessons conducted, half directly to SmileTutor and WhatsApp the receipt to our Finance Dept. at +65 9450 4390
3. Pay the other half directly to the tutor
However, note that once you have confirmed the assignment to book the tutor in quote, there is a binding contract to complete one full lesson and you may only request a change of tutor or terminate the tuition only after that 1st lesson. If you decide to change your mind before the 1st lesson even commenced, the fee for the unfinished first lesson may be charged as an administrative fee.
Will tutors postpone lessons?
SmileTutor does not encourage tutors to make frequent postponements to the lessons. However, we do encourage you to offer some degree of flexibility as tutors are also human and may fall sick or have sudden emergencies from time to time.
If the tutor we assigned to you happen to make postponements more frequently than you prefer, you may wish to communicate with them and remind them to stick to the usual lesson schedule. Sometimes, a simple effort to communicate between both parties can go a long way in avoiding any disruption in lessons or last-minute discrepancies.
If you face further difficulties with your tutor in this area, please feedback to us immediately and we will arrange a new tutor for you.
Can my tutor terminate the lessons?
For termination of lessons, tutors are expected to commit for at least the 4-weeks of tuition. If the tutor backs out of an assignment without a valid reason (e.g. illness) before completing at least 4-weeks of tuition, he/she will not be entitled to receive any tuition fees. i.e. You will only be required to pay 50% of the tuition fees (plus any applicable taxes) directly to the agency.
Unfortunately, we are unable to force tutors to commit for more than 4-weeks. However, we do encourage responsible behaviour and let our tutors know that they should do their best to commit at least until the end of year exams. Most of our tutors follow through.
What about adding of subjects or students (e.g siblings)?
You may wish to try out one subject first and then add more subjects subsequently. Or, when starting the tuition, you may find yourself wanting to increase the frequency of lessons or to engage the same tutor for your other children. In any of these cases, please make your request through the agency in order to stay protected and keep the tutor accountable to the agency.
SmileTutor is not responsible for any engagements made outside of the agency’s knowledge. Hence, tutors and tutees are expected to inform their coordinators of any added lessons or changes to the lessons schedule/subjects/tutees immediately.
How do I feedback to SmileTutor regarding my good/bad experience?
You may email us at Email for any feedback or questions that are not answered under this FAQ.
For private feedback about the agency service, you may contact Rum (Founder) at 97558257 or email him at Rum Email.
We appreciate your help in providing us accurate feedback so as to improve our service and system.
