The notes from the physics cafe are really concise and covers all types of exam questions. It helps me to recall the right and most efficient method to solve the question and I am able to reduce my revision time by 75%. In the physics cafe, i also learn to answer qualitative questions with ease and now i am more confident of tackling such questions whenever i see them. I will definitely recommend the physics cafe to all my friends taking the subject. Thanks Mr Sim!

Physics cafe heavy emphasis of problem solving and making sure people have a good grasp of core concepts, have help us save time. Unlike schools which spend time on irrelevant concepts and the structuring of notes is very messy.

The Physics Cafe has been a monumental help in my journey as a JC student. The notes provided are adequate, understandable and greatly speed up learning and understanding of a topic. Mr Sim provides comprehensive care for all his students and motivates us through many ways. For instance, he gives us quizzes after lessons sometimes, which greatly enhances our learning experience. The JC2 2014 cohort at The Physics Cafe is very well-versed in Physics concepts, therefore, they would be able to excel. Lastly, The Physics Cafe’s interesting methods definitely would allow students to better grasp Physics concepts. I would strongly recommend my friends to join it!

The physics booklet contains condensed concepts and equation that allows me to have a big picture of what is going on within each topic and how topics are interconnected. Furthermore, the concepts are clearer for certain hard topics than the notes given in school. It allows me to learn more efficiently and focus on topics that i am weaker in so that i can improve at a faster rate. The lessons also clear doubts on questions that i have in mind in certain topics and this allows me to have a better understanding of physics, a subject which i did not do well from the start of the year in JC1. I would definitely introduce my friends to Physics Cafe!
Charles Quek Koh Wee , JPJC
I feel that my physics has definitely improved and I have reached a stage where I can help my friends understand certain things. I need better time management but physics cafe has definitely helped me interpret questions better. I also notice all the efforts made to make the physics cafe a very convenient place and am appreciative of it.

I managed to understand concepts I used to find difficult much easily due to the concise notes and lectures. I was also able to learn the fastest approach and methods to solve certain questions which will make a difference during the paper itself! The examples in the notes and other materials have overall increased my confidence in sitting for the paper. The lessons in physics cafe is very different from school lectures with the smaller class size and also lots of engagement with the lecturer. I will definitely recommend The Physics Cafe to my friends.
Rashmiga Gunasekaran , JPJC
The tutor placed a lot of emphasis on how to face different types of questions and also exposed us to a wide range of questions to boost our confidence. Step by step approaches to questions have helped me a lot in solving the problems. Maths Cafe is very different from school lectures due to smaller class size which means more attention for the students. We are also able to raise our questions without feeling embarrassed. I will definitely recommend The Maths Cafe to my friends.
Rashmiga Gunasekaran , JPJC
Physics Cafe lessons are so much more detailed than other tuition centres and are much more precise, it helps me to quickly revise the important concepts! I joined physics cafe a little late into the year and I would have definitely joined earlier if I could. Yes, because physics cafe is a great place to learn to like physics in the easiest way 🙂

I attended PMC because I felt that I was lacking the practice and skillsets to maintain my grades. PMC provides very concise notes as well as detailed analysis of the problems and which method is the fastest and less prone to errors. I really like that PMC offers digital lessons and free drinks. It provides a conducive and flexible study environment. The student councillors are also very friendly 🙂 I joined PMC during August after the June Holidays and yet, I feel well prepared for the exam currently. Of course, if given the choice, I’d join PMC earlier so that maths would be a breeze and I would be able to focus on my other subjects. I believe that the results of the students relies solely on their own effort. Although the teachers (Mr Leong & Mr Tan!!!) are very caring and helpful in answering my questions and clearing my doubts, they can only help to a certain extent. It is the student’s mindset to tackling the questions and responsibility to work hard and be disciplined to help them secure their distinction. Although the tuition fees are not cheap, the quality of teaching provided is excellent! (And also free drinks, snacks, foolscap!!)

I joined The Physics Cafe after mid-years this year because I have been getting S grade since the start of J2 and had to improve my physics grade. I really like the summarised notes and formulas because it makes revision easier. I like how the tutor engages us during lessons by getting us to share our answers to better gauge the possible answers that we will choose, and common mistakes made. the tutor is also approachable, and I can clear my doubts after the lesson ends. I would have preferred to join PMC earlier as I might have gotten a higher grade for physics in both mid-year and prelim. The questions in the tests exposed me to different types of questions in different chapters so I can tackle such questions.
Jacqueline Khung Hui Lin , JPJC
My grade for physics was constantly a S during the whole of J1 and the start of J2 when I was on my own, and despite having joined after common test in J2 (and going for intensive crash courses at 9 in the morning twice a week) I still achieved a S in MYE. Don’t be disheartened if you do not see results as soon as you join, it takes time to see results. I still consistently went for lessons at PMC and eventually jumped 3 grades (C) for my latest preliminary exam. I would have never expected myself to have this much of a jump but I’m really thankful to the tutors it did, and I definitely wish I had joined earlier. Nevertheless, I am confident that PMC will help me to constantly improve and eventually achieve better grade for A levels.

I felt that before coming to PMC, Physics and Maths were just interesting subjects which I could pass or fail in in a random fashion. But this tuition centre, honestly, opened my eyes to the huge sea of information which I could learn and apply in my academics which were not even touched upon in my JC. I truly developed a passion for academics. The facilities at PMC were off the roof, with free drinks and VERY cheap snacks, it made me feel at home whenever I chose to study there. I joined PMC when I was in J1, before my June holidays. I have improved in my understanding of the topics so much from then till now. A lot of the students at the PMC are naturally smart. But, there is nothing stopping you from getting your As if you are prepared to work hard for them.

Mr Sim has really helped me for physics for the A levels H2 Physics. Though I’ve only attended his lessons from April JC2, he taught me almost everything I knew about physics. I’ve learned more in the few months leading up to the A levels than the two years in school. I would really like to thank him for salvaging my physics, and I truly hope I can share the good news with him when I get my results.
Samson Chan , JPJC
Physics used to be a subject that I fared poorly in. The Physics Cafe has helped me understand and apply the various Physics concepts that I previously could not grasp. Lessons are more hands-on as compared to school lectures and notes are more summarized and easy to comprehend. I will definitely recommend friends with difficulty in grasping Physics concepts to join.
Jeremy Tang , JPJC
The lessons in The Physics Cafe are different from other tuitions that I have attended before as it is very engaging and focused. I find it useful and I feel more confident as Mr Sim paces us to do the A level papers as well as sharing his own solutions with us. I hope that there will be a timed mock paper for us before the A levels so that we can give ourselves a final check on areas that we still lacked and improve on it.
Chen Jingwen , JPJC
The Physics Cafe’s summaries have helped me a lot in preparation before exams! Thanks Mr. Sim.
Akshita Ravi , JPJC
The Physics Cafe experience has been especially life-changing towards my attitude and interest towards Physics. Before attending TPC, I hardly had any motivation to do physics & would always shun it aside. However, with the help of TPC & Mr Sim’s step-by-step guidance, physics has become fun & interesting! The concepts explained are very concise & drills on your understanding of the subject, which is very important to succeed in physics, which some other centers do not really deliver! I am so thankful to have joined the physics cafe & would definitely recommend it to my friends! Thank you Mr Sim!! Cohort of 2014 will do well & make you proud!
Renitta Thomas , JPJC
The June holiday workshop has made me more confident about physics. I have also seen improvements in my results. The Physics Cafe has helped me to stretch time from the selected questions and fast overview of every chapter. It was also thorough in the coverage of the syllabus. Lastly, I enjoy the facilities available.
Ow Yong Hei Ee , JPJC
I really appreciate all the effort and time spent by Mr Sim in ensuring that we will be able to maximise the time spent during lessons. Physics concepts have certainly been made much more easier to understand. Hopefully we will be able to do well for physics during the A levels and do Mr Sim proud!
Justin Hong , JPJC
The Maths Cafe has definitely helped me a lot in gearing me up to tackle challenging questions that aren’t typical/standard. This allowed me to gain more confidence in tackling any type of questions at hand and to hopefully attain >80 for the paper. The Secrets Enclosed Notes are also very useful as a form of summary for the whole syllabus and it really helped me in maintaining my A for Maths ever since I joined TPC and thereafter scoring even better than before I joined. Prelims had been tough and getting not only an A, but also somewhat my best Math results in J2 was a blessing and a booster for A levels. By scoring better in my H2 Maths, it also helped me in my H3 Maths (MOE) which I am currently undertaking.
Koh Wen Hao , JPJC
Physics cafe has compiled the syllabus into The Secret Enclosed booklet, and that made revision very easy for us. Having attended lessons at physics cafe made me understand more about the subject and enable me to widen my exposure to different types of questions I wouldn’t be expose to in school. The digital lessons are very useful as well, as I will still be able to attend a lesson I miss few weeks ago ! The free shuttle bus and drinks provided by physics cafe ensured that the students welfare are taken care of, and that’s really nice of them 🙂

Compared to school it actually fluctuates. sometimes when my sch touches the topic first and i dont understand, then when I attend PMC I use it as a re-visit and try to understand. similarly, if PMC touches the topic first then may not understand and will use school lectures as a re-visit. So I use both to strengthen my understanding of the topic. I like free drinks and I like my friend hahahahaha. but i don’t like the 2018 timingssss omg the timings so weirddddd 9am and 4.30pm. I LOVE <3 Toa Payoh branchhhhhh :C. idk if the further travelling to Novena, Paya Lebar and Beauty World will be advantageous to my studies. Toa Payoh is super convenient, and my grandpa stays there so its fittingggg but sad next year no more tpy. I joined in J1. hmmm actually before I got private tuition for Amath in sec4, my cousin recommended me PMC but cause my foundation sibei bad, so I didn’t want to join a class since what difference would it make to in school where I am already a blur sotong and failing math. so nope I think JC was a good start.

I am self-motivated and was not forced to come for tuition. In fact, I was the one who convinced my mom to allow me to go for tuition after doing badly in J1 term. I’m attending lessons as I find it easier to understand PMC notes compared to my school’s. E.g. for sequences and series, I don’t refer to my school notes and just revise the few pages of notes that the revision packages contain, and I find it sufficient. I like the digital lessons because I need not replace the lesson within the week itself and I can do it when I have the time instead of trying to make it on time for the make-up classes. I joined PMC in J1 term 2 and I think the timing I joined was just right. I think some students in PMC are naturally quite smart but also most are naturally self-motivated and disciplined to learn. Tuition fees at PMC are indeed not cheap especially since PMC is a class-based tuition instead of individual.

Physics cafe made physics easier and a more interesting subject to study. The materials provided are concise and informative, making the use of materials organized and easy for memorizing.
