I got the A….I felt that I did really well, especially for the planning question. The Physics Cafe helped me understand the topics in depth, not just surface learning, and to take control of situations where I would have normally panicked, and answer really odd questions by keeping calm and remember that whatever they test, we have already learnt them. We have to just look from a different angle and tackle the challenging questions from another point of view

The Physic Cafe has helped me to tackle various exam question in which Mr Dave Sim have trained us to. I am able to better recognized the questions and able to answer the questions in exam better. The Physics Secret Enclosed is definitely of great help where it help us to recognize the questions with reference to the booklet and we know which part of the topic is tested and what are the steps/formula to answer such question. It is very different from the school lectures notes where everything is of whole chunk of information and not summarized. I would recommend my friends to join The Physics Cafe as it had made physics much more enjoyable and bearable subject.

I learnt how to tackle A grade questions alot better as Mr Sim taught us many different SOPs; especially for the often out of syllabus data handling questions, I learnt to break down the question and assimilate its ideas and string together new concepts to answer it. The practices that I do in class helps us to digest the relevant concepts and understand them to a deeper level; explanations are very clear and helps me to understand challenging questions. Time trails aids us in managing our time and to complete questions within the time frame, this has helped me a lot since MYEs as I wasn’t able to complete the paper then, whereas I could in the prelims.

From the point of someone who does not find physics largely interesting, I have to say Mr. Sim’s classes are always interesting. I espescially found his lecture notes helpful because he combines the important parts of the topic together with an array of questions. Mr. Sim was always more than happy to explain topics repeatedly until his students have grasped the concept sufficently and is ready to hang back after class to answer questions and clarify doubts. His tution classes, concept maps and regular class tests helped me pull my physics grade from an S to an A. Thanks Mr. Sim!

The Physics Cafe really helped me a lot on improving my physics. From not being clear with the concepts to know exactly what the question is trying to test. I am really fortunate to be able to attend classes in the Physics Cafe to know more about physics and the fun of it ! The main difference between lessons in The Physics Cafe as compared to school and other tuition center is its thoroughly summarized notes with clearly defined concepts. Most importantly, Mr Sim has the ability to analyze and explain the question and concepts in a much more simpler way that makes answering question much easier. He is also able to give interesting examples to help us imagine the scenario to understand better! I will definitely recommend my friends to join The Physics Cafe! It’s really beneficial ! I would also like to thank Mr Sim for being such an awesome physics tutor and for all the things and efforts you have done for us. Thank you so much !

Lessons at the Physics Cafe are unlike any normal mundane lessons in classroom and you’ll always look forward to attend his lessons. Thursday has always been a day I look forward to since the day I joined the physics cafe. Mr sim is very charismatic and encouraging tutor. He made physics lessons very interesting and every laws and principles just fall in the right place. The experience in physics cafe is a very fruitful and enjoyable one and will definitely miss them..Thank you mr sim!! You’ll be missed! :))

I would say that the centre has been very successful in implementing techniques so that students are able to score in their exams as compared to their peers. What can be improved would be having more questions of grade A standard so that students can get experienced to the full blow of A levels.Firstly and I would think most importantly many physics tutors in my school treat physics as a dead subject. They feel that it is something just like secondary school where stuffing information to us would suffice. However, in the Physics cafe, physics is alive(: we can see how something actually works and clears the many doubts that we might possess in secondary school where information is stuffed into us. Secondly I would feel that the physics cafe has very concise notes that makes the students interested in dng more of physics. Be it due to the small size of the booklets or the fact that we are dng so many mcqs, something is clearly working there.I would definitely want to recommend my friends to join the physics cafe.

The Physics Cafe definitely helped me to start to understand the concepts of physics that I had always thought as “senseless” and “useless”. At the same time, Mr Sim has actually made me more interested in physics. It’s definitely the right choice to choose The Physics Cafe as no 1 tuition centre option 🙂

Before I entered this tuition, I thought I had known everything about Physics. However, the first test I got back was a dismal 5 out of 25. It brought me to this cruel reality that in junior college, physics is not that simple as just “applying the formula” anymore. In fact, it is so much more than that. Thanks to some online research, I was able to find The Physics Cafe and I never regretted for a moment joining it. My Physics immediately shot up to a borderline pass at the next major examination and I was surprised by how much I had actually not known. Mr Sim is not only a great teacher, but he has made learning both fun and easy to remember. Through him, I have learnt so much more than what my school lecture notes can possibly hope to have. It was always tiring for him during Saturday morning as he only has a 1 hour break before the next lesson. However, he still stayed back to help many of the JC2s who have urgent questions that require him for help. Without him, I shudder to think what would have happened to my physics. With him, I am confident and approach papers with the belief that I have the ability to conquer almost any question. Thank you Mr Sim!(:

I scored an A for physics and I would really have to admit TPC played a huge role in this result. TPC may not have been the most cost savvy option for tuition but I definitely do not regret choosing TPC. It is just worth it. I believe what sets TPC apart from other centres is the quality of the notes. It gives plenty of notes but they are concise and easy to read everywhere. The tutor is also passionate about the subject and it definitely helps to have someone enthusiastic teach you in lessons that can be rather lengthy sometimes. The questions given in lessons are also difficult and is definitely more challenging than the average questions given in schools allowing you to have the confidence during exams.

I definitely would not regret my choice attending The Physics Cafe. Despite starting tuition later than most of my peers, I would say that I have learnt alot thus far. Lessons are at a comfortable pace enabling me to be able to understand the lesson and each chapters taught well. Distance may be hassle as I live in the east, but it is definitely worth the trip and I can truthfully say that I have learnt something new in every lesson since attending classes here. I would definitely recommend this tuition to my friends.

The Physics Cafe makes very effective notes that really does cover almost all of the important things we need to do well for our exams. The exposure to many types of questions also helps to drill us for our exams and gives us the confidence to tackle any sort of question. They also train us to solve the questions as quickly as possible which definitely helps us to manage our time better during the exams. I really appreciate all the extra services like shuttle buses, free food and free drinks provided by the cafe! Also, the cafe library is a really conducive place for self study.

I feel more confident in answering Physics questions as I know the problem solving techniques and also what to look out for in each question. The Physics Cafe has both basic and challenging questions to ensure that the students know the basic fundamentals as well as know how to apply such skills to the more challenging questions. I enjoy the services that come with the Physics Cafe.

The notes that I got from physics cafe is so clear, concise and comprehensive. It is a one-stop solution to all my physics problems. It gives a great overview of the syllabus and saved me a lot of time during revision. During lessons Mr Sim is so well prepared, he clears any possible doubts I may have, making it seem almost like he can read my mind. This ensures the rapid pace of the lesson, making the 2 hours spend as fruitful as possible. With the revision leading up to A’lvls I’m confident that I’m able to do well, just like the all the other students here.

The Physics cafe lessons were unique to its centre. Mr Dave Sim took on a rather concise and succinct method of approach when explaining concepts and brought along the same style of teaching when solving questions. There was a clear system in how lessons were organised and catered to aid in our preparation, from topical revisions to exposing us to integrated and “A grade” questions. The way Mr Sim taught us changed my perspective of physics as a subject and made it seem much less intimidating than it was since secondary school days, and changed my previous approach to physics questions to a clearer and efficient one. On another note, the centre has very nice free crackers. Please bring back the milo dispenser 🙁 the milo was so good. I would recommend my friends to join TPC

The questions are mostly higher order and I think that’s good as it can prepare me better for exams. But, as my physics is weak, so I struggle a little catching up with the class. Overall, I benefitted from the lessons and will recommend my juniors who stay in the central to start early.

I have enjoyed my time at The Physics Cafe as the lessons were very engaging and fun. The Cafe had a very conducive environment and the tutor was able to explain complex concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way. I will recommend my friends to the physics cafe as I believe it will greatly benefit them too.

I think that the different mind maps of key concepts for each chapter was really important to help us to take note of what are the ways a certain concept might be tested in problem solving. Furthermore, the answering techniques taught also help us to better answer the question even when we are not really sure of the answer. The lessons in school teach physics but the lessons in the physics cafe help us to know what are the important concepts for each chapter, how to be exam smart, and how to answer the questions asked.

I think the notes The Physics Cafe has made for problem solving are extremely useful. It much better the flipping through my large stack of notes. 10 min of flipping through helps me refresh all my formulas and solving methods and I am ready for a test within 10 minutes. The lesson here is more organized, systematic as compared to that in school. It’s faster paced, has good examples and experiments/ diagrams used by Mr Sim to aid our learning, something the school does not use. Lastly, the mind map helps to get hold of the chapter in a gist so absorbing information is less tedious than reading all the lecture material. Lastly the lecturers include too much information that they say is out of syllabus in our notes, making it even more wordy and difficult to understand. Definitely, for anyone who needs help in physics this is the place to go! Mr Sim is a wonderful teacher to learn from and the methods he uses to make us understand physics concepts is unique. I am studying hard, Mr Sim to make my grades a reality, I won’t disappoint you!

The Physics Cafe has been successful in making the understanding of the subject easier and teaching exam skills to score well. It definitely helped me save time to grasp concepts that I would otherwise have spent a very long time on. The difference between this and school is that the 2 hours feels more efficient and effective. Yes I would recommend others to join the physics cafe and the 2014 cohort will do well

The Physics Cafe has been a great help to me and I would definitely recommend my friends to join The Physics Cafe if they can. Lessons are very engaging and his explanations are very clear. Repetitions ingrain concepts that come in handy during examinations. The constant practices that we do during lessons make us sharper and faster which really helps during the exam so during papers we are calm, confident and relaxed. The practice booklets that we receive are also very useful and help us to be exposed to almost all of the possible question types in a particular topic. Physics revision has been made very easy by Mr Sim with his concise and precise notes that tell us everything that we need to know.

The Physics Cafe has indeed strengthened my skills and knowledge in the subject. Before I joined, my command of the concepts was quite weak but I am able to answer questions more confidently now. Mr Sim has taken immeasurable efforts into breaking down strenuous, complex concepts down into bite-sized, easily understandable nuggets of information. His ability to systematically unpack and solve all sorts of questions imaginable and induce such mentality in his students to do so is what gives him the edge over normal schools’ tutorials. I will definitely recommend him to students who are struggling in this subject, as long as they are willing to work hard and put in the same amount of effort into the subject as Mr Sim does in helping every one of us to excel at Physics. Thanks Mr Sim!

The Physics Cafe has been wonderful in helping me with my physics, I never knew I had the potential to actually do well in this subject I was so scared of before I came here. Not only is Mr Sim so well versed in the subject that he makes it seem as easy as pie, lessons are also engaging and the notes and incredibly helpful. There is an intrinsic difference between a student from this class and ones I see in school, here we’re taught to study smart, not just study, which I have realized makes a huge difference. Every physics tuition class is so meaningful in the revision leading up to A levels and I am pretty confident that with all the help I’ve gotten from here, I can get my distinction.

Mr Sim’s physics lessons are very engaging and productive. He helps us by focusing on the important key concepts in every topic and always challenging us with difficult and interesting questions. Before joining physics cafe, I merely pass my physics. However after joining in J2 my results improved tremendously and I managed to top the class consecutively for MCT and JCT. Physics cafe have pushed me to excel and gain confidence in physics. I strongly believe that with Mr Sim’s constant guidance and our diligence, it would be a smooth sailing path towards an A grade.

The problems we solve in class are of a wide range and exposes us to all the types of questions that Cambridge can ask so if we do see similar qns in our papers we would have a certain level of understanding and might know how to approach the qns. The incorporation of H1 qns helps and exposes to more types of qns as our school and ourselves rarely take the effort to go through H1 since we take H2. I would recommend students to join. It really helped me conceptualise all the concepts rather than just relying on memorizing the content we need to know and really understand the concepts. It really made a big difference to my grades. Before joining I only scored Us for physics and at most a S. But after joining the physics cafe for only a year, I managed to get Bs. It really made a big difference to my grades and improved my level of understanding of the topics taught in school.

The Physics Cafe has helped me to understand a lot of concepts that I found difficult to comprehend before joining physics cafe. In physics cafe, the teacher taught us about the procedure to answer certain questions and repeats it a lot of times, such that it felt like he was talking to me in my brain in the exam, that’s why I was able to solve most questions in the exam.

The Physics Cafe focuses on mastering exam answering techniques in the shortest time possible, allowing students to be more efficient in their learning process. Exposure to higher thinking order questions has also made me more prepared and confident in tackling physics. I would definitely recommend my friends to join The Physics Cafe.

The quality of lessons is very good. With complicated concepts being broken down into simple terms, making me more confident in answering Grade A Questions; I like the teaching style of the centre. I joined during the June holidays and would prefer to have started earlier as there are still topics that I’m unsure. I will recommend my friends to join PMC.

The physics cafe never fails to make physics concepts easier for me to understand, the summary of each chapters is especially useful in grasping the idea of each chapter. Attending lessons at the physics cafe always makes me feel enlightened about the physics concepts. If I could go back in time I would definitely attend the physics lessons earlier to strengthen my foundation.

Lessons at TPC are engaging and effective. Definitely different from what we experience in school. As we have already made concise notes in class, it leaves us more time to study other subjects that we may be weaker in (without compromising our physics grades). I am thankful to have found and joined TPC 🙂

I really like the tutor’s teaching as it is very clear. The pace is good for me and I have really improved after coming here.

Mr Tan makes a great effort to keep our spirits high, especially for those of us who are attending back to back lessons

The tuition fees at PMC are definitely higher than the tuition fees at other tuition centres or even 1-to-1 tuition. However, the Teachers at PMC are patient and enthusiastic. They will explain concepts in as many possible ways until you understand. While I would have liked to join the tuition at the start of J1, the tuition fees are too high for Long-term attendance. As such, my main regret is not joining earlier in J2 because we only take A levels once.

Before joining PMC, physics was one of my worst subjects and I absolutely didn’t see the point in it. But after lessons at PMC, I began seeing the links in physics and the real world – and that grew my appreciation for the topic and I gradually started to work on physics more seriously, and I’m having fun doing physics more than last time. Today, physics is one of my better subjects. It’s just the interesting lessons and the moment of epiphany when you realize how to solve the questions that you can expect from PMC. Thanks to all the physics tutors at PMC who have helped me 🙂
