O Level Chemistry Syllabus Covered in Our Tuition
O Level Chemistry is a common subject that students take when they reach secondary 3 level and is taught by experienced tutors at our tuition centre in Bishan, Singapore.
O Levels Chemistry syllabus consists of the following sections:
Students will learn how to dry gases and separate mixtures.
This is where atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons are discussed in detail by our O Level Chemistry tutors. Students will also be required to derive chemical formulae, chemical equations, and calculate yield from mole ratio using different formulae.
There are 4 major topics inclusive of electrolysis, chemical energy changes, chemical reactions and acids, bases and salts that are covered in our tuition classes. This is a content-heavy section as it forms the backbone of O levels Chemistry.
Here students are introduced to how elements are arranged in the periodic table. Students are expected to study the trends in terms of boiling point, melting point, colour intensity and reactivity. Students are also required to study and apply displacement reactions. Other concepts include Metals Reactivity series and extraction.
A relatively easier topic to handle, as this is the study of our atmosphere and its pollutants. Students are required to know the source of pollutants and their effects.
The last leg of O levels Chemistry and probably one of the most challenging. This topic is content-heavy and is usually taught after the mid-year exams in secondary 4. As most would rush through the learning due to time constraints, it doesn’t help students in any way. This topic encompasses the study of fossil fuels in terms of the different factions and their usages. Homologous series of organic compounds are also introduced namely: alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids and polymers. This is, personally, one of our tutors, Mr Terence’s favourite topics to teach, as he gets to talk about how medicine and plastics are produced.
With our comprehensive O Level Pure Chemistry tuition programme, we ensure the coverage of key topics and concepts necessary for success in the subject. We go beyond the theoretical aspects by incorporating real-world applications and case studies, helping students understand the relevance and practicality of chemistry in everyday life.
Additionally, our tutors focus on improving students’ problem-solving skills and equipping them with effective exam techniques. By honing these skills, students become more adept at tackling challenging questions and approaching exams with confidence. Our goal is to provide a well-rounded learning experience that prepares students not only for their O Level Chemistry examination but also for future endeavours in the field.

Common Challenges faced by O Level Chemistry Students
To put it simply, there is a lot to memorise with lesser logic involved.
For example, students are expected to remember the colour of iron (II) hydroxide ppt, which is pale green, but they are not taught the logic behind the colour. This makes it hard to remember, as the human brain memorises better when there are connections with logic. The same applies to the different types of acid reactions, qualitative analysis tables, and the solubility of salts and metals reactivity series. The list goes on as time goes by and students find themselves falling behind in remembering the content that keeps piling up with each new topic.
O Level Chemistry involves a certain level of calculation which could take some students by surprise. This is especially challenging for students who are not good at mathematics. Deriving chemical formulae, and chemical equations, and solving stoichiometry problems require certain mathematical understanding, namely, the simplest ratio and basic algebra. Students would find this challenging if they are already having issues with O Levels Mathematics.
It would not be surprising to find an O level Chemistry structured question involving Acids, Bases, Salts, Moles, Rate of reaction and energy changes. This is because these topics are interconnected with each other and students are required to recognise the relationships.
The challenge from this is recognising that a question can encompass multiple topics. This can be difficult because students are used to learning topic by topic and solving homework problems topic by topic, such that it becomes foreign to them when they encounter exam questions with multiple topics.
How Can O Level Chemistry Tuition Help?
The main purpose of O Levels Chemistry tuition would be to help students accelerate their learning process by delivering the knowledge to them in the best way possible. The process can be complicated depending on the learning style of the student. While the tutor may be very well-versed in chemistry, the lesson will not be very useful if it’s not taught according to how the student learns best.
At Intuitive Minds, we address the issues directly during every lesson. For every issue a student faces, there is always a solution that can be applied. Here are some examples of what our O Level Chemistry tutors do:
Students memorise O Levels Chemistry concepts differently. Some like to use mnemonics, while others use cheat sheets or memory cards. To help identify the best way for a student to memorise, our tutors would sit down with the student first to discuss and conclude on the method that works best for him or her. After this, the tutors would train the student to memorise using said method. The student will go home to finish the rest of the work required, and it will be reviewed in the next lesson. The tutor will then tweak the method accordingly to help the student better. Progress is closely monitored until the student is more proficient at memorising.
Students by our O Level Chemistry tutors are trained in a unique 4-step approach to chemical calculations. By following this approach, they can solve virtually any problems relating to moles and stoichiometry. If the student has issues with ratios and algebra, there will be micro-revision on the relevant topics.
After a topic is taught, students are given structured questions modelled after school papers. These questions usually involve multiple O Level Pure Chemistry topics. This way, students are exposed to such questions from the beginning. The tutor will then discuss these questions before students attempt them. During the discussion, the tutor will highlight the important concepts to take note of and if the students are unsure, micro-revisions will be made on the spot to refresh the concepts. After which, the students will then attempt the questions. Answers will be marked and students will be aware of their level of understanding.
After a series of O Levels Chemistry questions, students will then be more exposed to the level of difficulty in our tuition classes. Once they are used to it, they will be able to handle similar questions in exams. This method has helped students jump a few grades in their performance.
