Ever had those experiences where you felt like you studied a lot, but you still can’t grasp the concepts? Are you putting in the hours, but still fail to see an improvement in your tests? If that’s the case, it could be an issue with your method of studying. When it comes to studying, it’s [...]

Chemistry isn’t for everyone – and that’s okay. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t still do well in it or improve your current grades.

But there’s no arguing that it is one of the biggest topics, with many subtopics, chemical reactions to remember, and lots of [...]

Knowing what to expect when you join a tuition class is always a good idea! One useful thing to check out are any sample learning materials or notes provided by the tutor. From samples such as class notes and worksheets, it’s possible to glean some sense of the structure, accuracy, and depth of teaching to [...]
