Primary Science Tuition Singapore: Master the Art of Scientific Inquiry

Is your child struggling to score in Section B of the Science paper? Many students in Singapore can memorize facts, but they often falter when asked to apply concepts to unfamiliar scenarios or experimental setups. With Science carrying equal weightage in the PSLE AL score, mastering the “Science of Answering” is crucial.

At TUITION SOLUTION, we provide specialized Primary Science Home Tuition. Since 2014, our expert tutors have helped students move beyond rote learning to develop a deep, logical understanding of the MOE Science syllabus.

The Hurdles of the PSLE Science Syllabus

The current MOE Science curriculum (from P3 to P6) is divided into five themes: Cycles, Systems, Interactions, Energy, and Diversity. Students often struggle with:

  • The “Keyword” Trap: Marks are frequently lost in open-ended questions because students use “layman terms” instead of scientific keywords (e.g., saying “the water disappeared” instead of “the water gained heat and evaporated”).

  • Experimental Logic: Understanding Variables (Constant, Independent, and Dependent) and identifying the Aim of an experiment.

  • Complex Graph & Data Analysis: Interpreting data from tables and graphs to form evidence-based conclusions.

  • The “CER” Technique: Many students find it hard to structure answers using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning framework required for full marks.

Our Primary Science Tuition Specializations

We match your child with a specialist who understands the latest SEAB Exam format:

Lower Primary (P3 – P4): Igniting Curiosity

Building the foundation in Diversity (Living vs. Non-living) and Cycles (Life cycles of plants and animals). We focus on accurate observation skills and basic scientific vocabulary.

Upper Primary (P5): The Difficulty Spike

Primary 5 introduces heavy topics like the Human Respiratory/Circulatory Systems, Cell System, and Electricity. We help students manage the sudden increase in technical depth.

PSLE Science Intensive (P6): The Distinction Track

  • Topic Integration: Learning how to link topics (e.g., how Photosynthesis in plants links to Global Warming and Interactions).

  • Section B Mastery: Intensive drilling on “Killer Questions” and experimental planning.

  • OEQ Answering Techniques: Teaching the “Compare and Contrast” and “Cause and Effect” structures.

The TUITION SOLUTION “Scientific Edge” Framework

  1. Keyword Bank & Concept Maps: We provide proprietary summary notes that highlight the specific phrases examiners look for in every chapter.

  2. The “Application” Strategy: We expose students to a wide range of “novel” scenarios from top school prelim papers (e.g., Nanyang, Rosyth, Raffles) so they aren’t surprised by new question types in the PSLE.

  3. Active Learning: Our tutors use real-life analogies—explaining Heat Conductivity through a metal spoon vs. a plastic one—to make abstract concepts “stick.”

  4. Error Analysis & Correction: We analyze your child’s past exam papers to identify if their weakness lies in Content Knowledge or Answering Technique.

Frequently Asked Questions: Primary Science

How is PSLE Science different from what I learned in school?

Today’s Science papers are 40% Knowledge and 60% Application. Your child needs to be able to explain why things happen, not just what happened.

Can a 1-to-1 tutor help with the Practical/Experimental questions?

Yes! While we don’t have a lab, we teach the Logic of Science. We teach students how to identify “Fair Tests,” “Control Setups,” and how to explain the purpose of repeated trials.

When is the best time to start Science tuition?

Ideally in Primary 4. This ensures that the foundation for “Diversity” and “Cycles” is strong before the very heavy P5 syllabus begins.
