Hurdles Faced by Secondary 2 Physics Students
Inability to understand Physics concepts
Physics concepts can be difficult to visualise due to their abstract nature. Students need to visualise the concepts well (such as forces acting on an object) to be able to answer the exam question as some questions involve drawing. These abstract concepts need to be clearly understood by Physics students to answer any permutation of question in the Physics exam.
Difficulty applying the formulas in questions
In Physics, there are many formulas which students must remember to apply during the exams. Students need to memorise the formulas and know the context of the question as they need to determine which formulas to apply and where. As such, rote memorisation is not the only skill students of Physics need to achieve, as there is also the application of these formulas.
Inability to manage time
Managing time during an examination is a common concern for all secondary Physics students. As the Physics paper varies in difficulty, students will face issues with allocating the right amount of time for each question. Some students may be stuck on more difficult questions, leaving the easier questions unanswered, which will cost them precious marks and time.
Difficulties studying for the Physics exams
Secondary school students have many commitments which are both academic and extra-curricular in nature. As such, many of them find it difficult to commit to revision in a consistent manner. Many students often leave revision of certain subjects to the last minute, which does not yield good results. It is important to allocate time to each subject.
The Importance of Engaging a Secondary 2 Physics Tutor
Help students clarify doubts
One of the largest roles of a tutor is to help students clarify their doubts. At times, students may miss some of the concepts taught in school and there could be gaps in their knowledge which hinder them from understanding how to apply their content to the questions in the exam. As such, a tutor needs to fill in these gaps to show them the big picture of the subject.
Help students achieve conceptual understanding
In Physics, there are many foreign and new concepts which students must grasp before their examinations. Furthermore, there is a combination of rote memorisation of certain key definitions coupled with the understanding of how these concepts work. A tutor will explain these concepts in a way which is easy for the student to digest and absorb.
Helping students identify important elements in the exam questions
Many students feel lost when they face an exam paper as they do not know how to break the question and see it as the sum of its parts. A tutor will guide the student in identifying important elements in the exam question which give the student clues as to how to solve this question properly so that in the exam, students can tackle the question by themselves without fear.
Planning their time and ensuring all topics are covered
A common hurdle of secondary school students is the lack of time to cover all the topics within a particular subject, especially when having to juggle it with many other subjects as well as a myriad of other commitments. As such, a tutor’s job is to plan out a student’s revision to ensure that all the topics the student needs to learn have been covered before their exams roll around
Good Qualities of a Secondary 2 Physics Tutor
Having the requisite qualifications
Tutors must have the requisite qualifications to teach Physics to their students, as without these qualifications, they will not be able to guide the students well. As such, all Tutor City tutors have the appropriate qualifications to teach Physics to various levels of students with various abilities. Moreover, having experience helps tutors teach their students well.
Commitment
Tutors must have the dedication and commitment to teach students for all the slots they have agreed upon. It is important that the student sees the tutor regularly and works on the subject bit by bit, as failure to conduct regular practice and learning may have a negative impact on the student’s progress and by extension, their examination grades.
Patience
It is important that tutors are patient when teaching their students, especially since Physics is a difficult subject which requires students to be able to memorise information as well as understand complex concepts. Not every student will be able to immediately grasp these concepts. In fact, some students need more time and patience to be able to attain master.
Experience teaching students from the same level
It is important that tutors have experience teaching students from the same level, as they will be familiar with their syllabus and the common errors and challenges students may face. Tutors need to also be able to relate with students from a certain age group to motivate and inspire them to do better. As secondary school is a turbulent time for many students, the tutor could be a source of guidance and motivation for the students who are still trying to navigate life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is O Level?
O Levels in Singapore is difficult as students need to do many past year papers and learn the patterns of the question to score well. Moreover, students juggle many subjects in secondary school and may have trouble coping with the workload. Students may also feel overwhelmed by their external commitments inside and outside school, such as CCA and other activities.
Which science is the hardest in secondary school?
Whether a Science is more difficult than another depends on the individual student’s strengths and weaknesses. Students who prefer words as compared to Mathematics will find that Biology will be the best science subject. Students who are better at rote memorisation of information and decent at Mathematics will find Chemistry more palatable. However, students who are poor at rote memorisation but good at Mathematics will find Physics the best subject to study.
Is Chemistry compulsory for O Levels?
Although Chemistry is not compulsory for O Levels, it remains a popular option for students who are seeking to undertake further education in STEM or hope to attain a spot at a Junior College studying Science subjects. Chemistry is a good choice for students who have an interest and aptitude in the Sciences and want to deepen their scope of learning the subject.
