Revise, relate & reinforce
You determine your hero journey. Overcome your most feared topics through repeated revision and application to reinforce your concepts. I'll be there at every step to give you my best advice and pointers.
Improving your grades is no rocket science.
I have guided many students from U's to A's during my journey as an educator, and these are the areas that I help strengthen. With my help and determination, you can reach your desired grades and unlock your full potential.
01. Nailing the basics
We’ll always start from the fundamentals first. Ensuring you are comfortable with your chemical equations and definitions.

“Mr Chan was my chemistry teacher in ACSI for IB. His lessons were always enjoyable and something I would look forward to because of how structured and organised they are. Approachable and friendly, Mr Chan is open to all questions and will try his best to answer them in a way that every student is able to understand. He ensures that our doubts are clarified and is extremely encouraging and patient, especially to any students whom he notices may be struggling. As my EE mentor, Mr Chan was definitely willing to provide any assistance along the way and would often check in for updates. I appreciate how he is going the extra mile for his students, even working after hours to give his best. With such dedication, I definitely recommend Mr Chan to those who are looking to improve on their Chemistry!”

“I was taught chemistry by Mr. Chan when I was doing my IB program in ACS(I). Mr. Chan is an outstanding chemistry teacher - patient, kind and supportive. Under Mr. Chan's excellent teaching and guidance, I managed to score 7 for my IB exams. Mr. Chan's lessons were consistently engaging and interesting. With the ability to simplify complex concepts and break them down into more manageable parts, Mr. Chan helped me to grasp challenging concepts with ease. He was always willing to go the extra mile to provide additional resources and support us outside of class hours. Now in medical school, I routinely use chemistry concepts taught to me by Mr. Chan. I am very grateful to have had Mr. Chan as my chemistry teacher, and would highly recommend him to any student struggling with chemistry / wanting to do better in IB or A levels."

“My name is Rudy and I graduated from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) in 2020. Mr Chan taught me during both of my IB years.
Initially, I struggled with Chemistry and often scored low grade 4s. However, with Mr Chan’s guidance and teaching, I managed to improve and eventually attain a grade 6 for my IB exams.Mr Chan is very innovative with his lessons. He keeps always keeps his lessons engaging. For example, for lessons about molecular structure and bonding, Mr Chan brought 3-D figures to help us visualise and understand the topic better. On other days, he would show us informative yet entertaining videos. Even when his lessons were at the end of a long school day, I have always looked forward to and enjoyed them. One of things that I found the most helpful were Mr Chan’s one to one consults. Despite the constraints of the pandemic, which was at its peak during that time, I was able to have virtual consults with Mr Chan to clarify all the doubts I had leading up to the exams. It helped me realise what were my weaknesses and gaps in my knowledge, which helped me to revise and prepare better. Mr Chan is very supportive and encouraging towards his students. Not only has he taught me lessons inside the classroom, but he has also taught me lessons of life that I continue to apply each day."

"Mr Chan has been my Chemistry teacher for 2 years now, guiding me through my sec 3 and 4 years. have enjoyed all of his detailed and engaging lessons thus far. Thanks to him, I realised that Chemistry is not that difficult as what most may expect and have attained constant A1s for my Chemistry examinations. If not for him, I might still be stuck with the D7 grade I attained in sec 2's end of vear examination."

"Mr Chan was my chemistry teacher for 2 years (year 5 & 6) in ACS Independent. With Mr Chan’s guidance and support, I scored a Grade 7 in HL Chemistry for the 2020 IB examinations. To facilitate our learning and understanding of concepts, Mr Chan provided us with additional resources besides those provided by the school such as extra online quizzes. Additionally, Mr Chan also prepared concise summaries of each topic which helped to clarify any misconceptions we had! On top of this, Mr Chan also created a positive learning environment for us. He was extremely patient and receptive to any questions or feedback that we had! Furthermore Mr Chan’s classes were extremely engaging and interactive. He always made an extra effort to ensure that classes were as interesting and fun as possible. I throughly enjoyed Mr Chan’s classes, thank you Mr Chan!"

"I highly recommend Mr Chan, he is very experienced, professional, patient and approachable for JC students. His teaching style can be amazingly flexible that suits individuals. He helps my child to overcome learning challenges and rebuild his confidence. Mr Chan is also a good communicator, he’s putting his efforts to not only keep each lesson engaging, but also keep parents updated and that definitely helps facilitate the progress."

"Mr Chan’s resources are all very helpful and handy especially when coming to understanding concepts. I’d always go back and look through the summary notes before exams to remember all the key points. It streamlines my revision process and allows me to focus more time on topics which I’m weak at. Mr Chan is one of the most helpful and patient teachers I’ve known in my JC life. He has a special gift of tailoring his teaching pace and style to suit each student’s needs, which was what allowed me to catch on pretty fast, back when I was still weak in Chem. I used to be pretty unmotivated when it comes to Chem because it’s one of the subjects I struggled with the most. However, I managed to find interest and motivation for the subject again after Mr Chan patiently guided me through the difficult chapters and trained me to better my skill sets. He is always very encouraging, and does not hesitate to help with any questions that I might have. He’s also very friendly and approachable and we always have fun during our lessons. I feel enjoying the subject is more important and Mr Chan has certainly made it possible for me."

"Mr Chan taught me IB Chem in ACS(Independent) from 2019-2020, and I got 7 for the subject! Patient and concise, his lessons are always informative and he will definitely guide you to the best of his abilities. Mr Chan takes his teaching very seriously, as seen by his bank of resources that ranges from recorded videos and summary of topics etc.
His teaching style is also more friendly and sincere, rather than stern and disciplinarian. Mr Chan has guided me in my chem report writings in school, and these contributed to the grade 7 I got at the end. I highly recommend Mr Chan to any student who needs that boost to secure your desired grade!"

"Back in school, i always use to look forward to Mr Chans class. I used to have the common stereotype that chemistry is boring with so many equations and formulas to remember. I couldnt have been more wrong!Mr Chan somehow manages to turn all his lessons into an exciting learning adventure, truly making chemistry come alive in front of all of us fortunate to be under him! Even if we do not immediately grasp certain concepts explained, he would take the extra time to go through them personally till we understand the concepts fully!Besides being an amazing teacher, Mr Chan is an exceptional person and role model. I can firmly say that being in his class has made me a better person and has shaped me to who i am today.So definitely do hit him up and watch the magic of chemistry come alive! Anyone would be privileged to have been taught by him."

"Under Mr Chan’s excellent teaching and guidance, I managed to score a Grade 7 for IB HL Chemistry. Mr Chan was my teacher from Year 5 to 6 at ACS(Independent). I found his lessons extremely engaging and he always ensured that we were able to understand the various Chemistry concepts. He would also meet up for consultations when possible, which was very beneficial for clearing any doubts I had. Despite the various COVID restrictions, Mr Chan tried his best to ensure that we had sufficient resources while studying at home. His recorded videos were very useful in helping me revise for my exams. Mr Chan was also a very dedicated teacher and strove to help each of us reach our best potentials. Furthermore, he wrote my medical school admissions testimonial, which impressed my interviewer. Mr Chan is definitely an excellent teacher who strives to help his students foremost."

"Mr Chan is one of the most passionate and best teachers in terms of his pedagogy. He takes the time to explain to students concepts in a way that they are able to understand, and he uses analogies to help students better conceptualise the information that might be more abstract especially in Chemistry where it is difficult to draw a relation to how it might be significant in our every day life. He makes Chemistry much more interesting by tapping on the students' intrinsic curiosity to learn more about things that may be relevant to them, and he makes lessons much more enjoyable by getting to know you on a personal level and be interested in the things that you are involved in. His recorded videos of chemistry lab experiments, and 3-dimensional models of the atomic structure, draw on our ability to better visualise pictorial information rather than seem textual information, and he also tells a lot of jokes to make the students laugh which makes his classes much more enjoyable. Close to the exams, he is also very focused on helping you score well for the tests, and gives excellent summaries on commonly-tested but hard-to-grasp topics. However more than that, he instills skills that are much more valuable beyond just exam-taking, which is to understand before memorising, and to always see the big-picture in whichever concepts he is teaching. I am confident that Mr Chan will be able to teach anybody Chemistry given his teaching style, immense patience, and comprehensive understanding of Chemistry concepts, and I would definitely recommend him as a teacher."

"Mr Chan is a kind and thoughtful teacher that really went the extra mile to help me every step of my A levels journey. I was struggling very badly with both content and concepts before starting tuition with him. However, with his dedicated and nuanced teaching style, I was able to improve by leaps and bounds within the limited time we had together. I am grateful for the thought, time and care he put in for me and I am sure that every student under his care will say the same. (-:"

"I was a student of ACS (Independent) where Mr Chan was my Chemistry teacher for 2 years and helped me attain a 7 point grade in IB HL Chemistry!
As a teacher, Mr Chan is extremely approachable and makes his lessons entertaining and engaging! His classes are well organised and he is able to teach even the most abstract of chemistry concepts in a way that is easily understood. His revision lessons of each concepts just before our IB exams really helped us identify the important concepts of each chapter and practice answering questions on them.
He goes above and beyond what is expected of a teacher and does his best to help his students even after graduation! He is an inspiration to me to say the least!"

"All of us who have been taught by Mr Chan would agree that his learning materials and teaching expertise is nothing short of outstanding. But what makes Mr Chan such an exceptional educator is his unrelenting adaptability and patience. Even in my most clueless of times, Mr Chan never showed any signs of irritation or frustration, instead doing everything in his power to guide me through whatever I was having troubles with. Mr Chan would never give up on any of his students, and invariably makes himself available for any of us to approach him with any doubts. With his frequent encouragements, Mr Chan was able to help every single one of us, regardless of academic standard, build our confidence, making us always feel comfortable to ask for help. I would like to especially recommend Mr Chan for his IB EE and IA mentorship, for I attribute much of my successes in these projects to him. Under Mr Chan’s unfaltering guidance throughout my 2 years of IB, I managed to score a 92 for HL chemistry, as well as an A for my chemistry EE."
