Our track record
"As a student in the IP programme, my lessons in school were more self-directed, which affected my understanding of concepts. However, Mr Seah broke down concepts and explained it clearly." (Rachel, IP Physics)
Who is our IP Physics tuition for?
How IP Physics is different
There's no O Level exam, so there's no national timeline to follow. Each IP school sets its own pace, topic order and assessments, and lessons are often more self-directed. We match lessons to your school's schedule, so you're always ready for the next test.

What students say
“As a student in the IP programme, my lessons in school were more self-directed... However, Mr Seah broke down concepts and explained it clearly. He is very prompt with his replies, which really helped my revision.”
“Mr Seah is a dedicated teacher that prepares the most useful packages and materials that actually help me recall concepts and link ideas together, which is something I struggle with.”
“He always explains the physics topics clearly and promptly clarifies any of our doubts and questions. Furthermore, he makes every lesson fun and entertaining.”
“One 2 hour lesson in TGC is able to cover what takes a whole week to cover in school.”
“Mr Seah's crazy acronyms and silly fun facts always keep me focused and motivated. I've also made so many new friends here!”
“Mr Seah is truly an educator who believes that everyone is capable of achieving things greater than their own perceived abilities.”

Frequently asked questions
Do you follow my school's specific IP syllabus?+
Yes. IP schools pace and sequence Physics differently, so lessons follow your school's own topic order and assessment schedule.
Is IP Physics harder than O Level Physics?+
The core topics are similar, but IP school assessments often ask less familiar questions and expect more independent learning. That's where small group tuition helps most.
Will IP Physics tuition help with A Level or IB Physics later?+
Yes. Mechanics, energy, waves and electricity in Sec 3 and 4 are the foundation for JC and IB Physics. Students who get these right find Year 5 and 6 much less of a jump.
When should I start IP Physics tuition?+
Ideally in Sec 3, when the foundations are laid. Sec 4 students can still improve a lot before the year-end exams.
Which TGC centres teach IP Physics?+
All 3 centres, Potong Pasir, Bukit Timah and Bishan, teach IP Physics for Sec 3 and Sec 4 students.
How small are the class sizes?+
Classes stay small by design, so every student gets checked on individually, not just taught at as part of a large group.
Is there a referral reward?+
Yes. You can earn up to $110 when you invite friends to join TGC.
