10 Things About The Physics Café
PMC is a premium school in Singapore that specializes in Physics since 2009. Mr. Dave Sim, founded PMC after teaching in Raffles Junior College for 6 years. The tuition centres now boost a team of eight Physics tutors, from the top schools in Singapore.
Tutors are recruited based on their previous teaching track record and are personally trained by Mr. Dave Sim. They specialises in H1, H2 Physics for the JC students taking A levels, Pure Physics for the secondary students taking the O levels, and accelerated Physics for the IP students.
The tuition centers are conveniently located across Singapore in next to Beauty World MRT, Novena MRT, Paya Lebar MRT and Bishan MRT. There are Physics classes almost every day in all the 4 centres and all the classes are conducted by the core team of tutors.
The Physics lesson materials are personally written by the academic director, Mr. Dave Sim. They are directly aligned with what the student needs to learn for that specific part of the term and focus heavily on problem solving skillset just before major exams. The students spend 20% of the lesson time on concepts and the remaining 80% of the time on developing skills such as how to identify the keywords in the questions and how they should approach a question in order to derive an answer.
Through regular formative assessments and quizzes, the students improve their exam skills. The stellar academic results produced by the students prove that this is a winning formula. 80% of the students consistently scored “A” in their GCE A-level and International Baccalaureate® examination.
1. ONLY 1 PHYSICS TUTOR IS SHORTLISTED OUT OF 30 INTERVIEWED.
Each physics tutor is paid on average $350 per hour. That’s up to 3 times the pay of the average tutor in Singapore. What’s more, our tutors undergo months of training before they can lead classes, so you can be assured that our tutors are top-notch and top-quality.
2. THEIR FOUNDER PRINCIPAL TUTOR, MR DAVE SIM, IS THE RENOWNED PHYSICS SUPER TUTOR IN SINGAPORE, WITH A TEACHING EXPERIENCE OF 6 YEARS AT RI.
Dave is a legendary figure in his students’ eyes. Thanks to his engaging and concise techniques on the perplexing subject, many of his students evolve from being a mediocre Physics student to an exceptional one.
We’ll let Mr Sim speak for himself here:
“I am the director and the head of academic. This switch (from RI to The Physics Cafe) means I can control exactly what and how you learn. I can test you my way. I can then let the results speak for themselves. It does not matter who you are or where you are from. I know that if I cannot help you, no one can. But of course, it’s up to you to prove me wrong. Try to get a “C” or a “D” for your final paper!”
3. THEY TEACH YOU HOW TO STUDY PHYSICS THE RIGHT WAY.
Some people can remember what they HEAR. Some can remember what they SEE. So you must know what’s your strength. Maybe you learn better by READING? Maybe you always forget what you read, but never forget what you SAY. Some always remember what they WRITE.
For me, I always remember what I say…that’s i say what loud what I want to understand and remember. In any case if i forget what i SAY, at least I can remember what what I hear.
So find you what is your strongest sense today 🙂
4. THEY OFFER LOWER SECONDARY SCIENCE.
At PMC, we are one of the only learning centres that would offer lower secondary Science classes. This is to provide them with the opportunity to master the foundation of Physics and have a critical appreciation of the concepts in the subject. The skills taught in the early years will also prove to be useful for them when they advance to Secondary 3 and 4 where all students need master advanced answering skills / techniques!
5. PMC EXPRESS FOR THE SECONDARY/IP.
The PMC Express programme is a tuition course that will support the student to succeed in the O-Level Physics exam. The secondary Physics tuition programme is exam focused, and specially designed to help students cope with the high demands of the Secondary 1-4 Express Curriculum based on the Revised O-Level syllabus, so as to assist them in getting into the desired Junior Colleges, or Polytechnic programme of their dreams.
We believe that your child can achieve high standards and achieve their distinctions at national examinations with our proven pedagogy, skilful guidance by experienced tutors, and quality materials prepared by the PMC Team! We started as a specialised JC Physics tuition centre. After becoming the leading JC Physics tuition centre in 2012, we started our secondary programme. Our lessons are accelerated and pace is right so that it’s not too fast for the concepts to sink in, and not too slow for you to sleep in class. The Excitement is just RIGHT.
6. MORE THAN 80% OF OUR STUDENTS SCORED A IN PHYSICS A LEVELS AND O LEVELS – DOUBLING THE NATIONAL AVERAGE!!!
Need we say more? We are very proud of our students who have done well in the A levels and would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the graduated batches over the years since 2009. You have worked hard and gotten the grades you truly deserved. Good Job! Do visit our hall of fame to find out more.
7. WE GO BEYOND GROUP TUITION
We have alternative programmes such as 1-to-1 gold class private lessons as well as digital membership. The PMC experience is designed in a way where 80% of the content trains the problem-solving skillset of the students and only 20% on the concepts. Thus you can still learn as effectively with our resources at your own timing and pace.
8. ALL-ROUNDED STUDY FACILITIES
Our centres aren’t simply just for holding lessons. PMC students are welcomed to visit our centres anytime during our opening hours to study rather than fighting for limited seats at libraries and cafes.
9. HIGHLY REPUTABLE AND TRUSTABLE
From The Straits Times to The Smart Local, PMC is recommended by reputable news sources and dubbed as a premium school in Singapore that specialises in JC physics tuition, IP, secondary Physics tuition and Math tuition. We even garnered 3000+ genuine reviews from our past students who have improved or maintained their exceptional grades with us.
10. QUALITY LESSONS, QUALITY GRADES
Our tutors do not have conflicting teaching styles, and our worksheets are prepared, reviewed, and updated thoroughly by the tutors themselves for our community of over 1000 students. Our structured lessons are planned carefully with the majority of students’ needs in mind.
