Hurdles Faced by Secondary School 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 School 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 School 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 do you qualify for triple science?

To quality for triple science, students need to score at least 80% in their Science examinations in Secondary 2. Students who cannot attain this should consider doing double science as the workload of triple sciences will be too overwhelming and may cause them significant stress.

Is it better to do triple or double science?

For students who have a keen interest and aptitude for the sciences, it is better to do triple science as this will open up more further education pathways in future. However, triple science comes with a significant workload, and students who face difficulties in juggling their academics should opt for double science instead.

Does everyone do triple science?

Not everyone does triple science. Only students who have scored well in their Science Secondary 2 examinations will be able to choose to do triple science. Most students will undertake double Science subjects. It is advisable to do triple Science only if students score well for their exams.
