IB Physics Tuition
The IB Physics program is highly demanding. IB HL Physics in particular requires students to think like physicists — performing calculations while constructing scientific arguments with rigor.
Specialist Group / 1-to-1
Custom 1-on-1 tracks available upon request.
IB HL & SL Students
Mentorship for local & international school pupils (HCIS, SAS, FIS).
IA & EE Mentorship
Research design, error analysis, uncertainty propagation.
Why IB Physics Is Different — And Why That Matters for Tuition
Most physics tuition centres are built around the local MOE syllabus. Mr. Chew's depth in IB Physics comes from years of teaching to this specific structure.
Command Terms Focus
IB examiners use terms like describe, explain, evaluate, and deduce differently. We teach students exactly how to decode them.
Internal Assessment (IA)
Guided formulation of research questions, experimental design, uncertainty propagation, and evaluation writing.
Paper 3 Specialisation
Specialist coaching for Advanced Higher Level options and mathematical data analysis requirements.

Specialised Portfolio Guidance: IA & EE Mentorship
The Physics Internal Assessment (IA) and Extended Essay (EE) account for critical portions of your IB diploma score. We guide students through a structured, examiner-compliant process.
IB Internal Assessment (IA) Mentorship
Our IA mentorship framework takes students from initial brainstorm to final submission, ensuring full alignment with IB criterion markschemes.
- Research Question Formulation: Crafting focused, original physics questions that allow for deep analytical evaluation.
- Experimental Design & Data Collection: Designing controlled variables, apparatus setup, and high-precision data gathering.
- Uncertainty Propagation & Graphing: Error analysis, percentage uncertainties, max/min slope gradient calculations.
- Evaluation & Conclusion Writing: Addressing systematic errors, methodological limitations, and realistic physics extensions.
Extended Essay (EE) Support in Physics
Writing a 4,000-word Physics Extended Essay requires rigorous theoretical framing and academic methodology.
- Topic Selection & Feasibility Analysis: Choosing viable physics research areas with accessible data models.
- Literature Review & Secondary Data Modeling: Academic paper synthesis, simulation modeling, and theoretical derivation.
- Structural & Academic Rigor: Organizing complex physics derivations, vector diagrams, and formal citations.
- Viva Voce & Defense Preparation: Reflection sessions to help students confidently defend their EE research methodology.
The MI Advantage in IB Physics
IB Physics is where the Multiple Intelligences approach shows its clearest advantage. The IB assessment philosophy already demands multi-dimensional thinking — a student who can only follow algorithmic steps will cap out at Grade 5 or 6. Grade 7 requires genuine conceptual ownership.
Mr. Chew's MI methodology ensures students build that ownership from the first lesson, not as a last-minute revision strategy.
