Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

Q1. What percentage of Mr. Phang's students get distinctions for 'A' and 'O' level physics?

Ans: 60% to 70% for both levels, comparable to the top two ~~junior colleges~~ institutions.

This is despite the fact that only 30% of Mr. Phang's students are from the top two ~~junior colleges~~ institutions.

Q2. What is the secret to Mr. Phang's success rate?

Ans: No secret. Mr. Phang motivates his students with challenging questions and practices. Hence only students who are prepared to work hard can stand Mr. Phang.

Mr. Phang's tuition classes tend to attract serious (but humorous) students. This could be due to a phenomenon known as "resonance" in physics.

Q3. What about weak students?

Ans: Weak students do not have any problem, as long as they are prepared to work hard.

Mr. Phang had an ACJC student in 1997 who improved from 'F' (equivalent to 'U' in the current grading system) to 'A' when he became so motivated that he sneaked into NUS' library behind his West Coast house to practice university-level questions. Mr. Phang was very impressed.

Q4. In the 'Testimonials' section, many students wrote that Mr. Phang's physics lessons are 'fun' and 'enjoyable'. Are Mr. Phang's physics lessons really so 'fun' and 'enjoyable'?

Ans: Mr. Phang's physics lessons are as 'fun' and 'enjoyable' as NJC's famous canoeing training session. Students who work hard will find Mr. Phang's lessons extremely 'fun' and 'enjoyable'.

On the other hand, students who prefer Venice gondola rowing sessions will not find Mr. Phang's lessons so 'fun' and 'enjoyable'.

Q5. Isn't that lots of hard work?

Ans: Please refer to question 1.

Question 1 cannot be separated from Question 5.
