"To create knowledge and wealth for Singapore .. Mediocrity is Not an Option."

Professor Shih Choon Fong (NUS President), The Straits Times, 8^th June 2002

Mediocrity is indeed not an option, especially under the new M.O.E. examination style that emphasizes creative thinking abilities.

Welcome to Physics.com.sg - First Class in Physics Tuition^Ž.

This website belongs to Phang Yu Hon - Physics tuition teacher with 17 years' experience in private tuition.

Mr. Phang is one of Singapore's top five 'Super Tutors' featured in The Sunday Times headlines on Jun 15, 2008, and also the only tutor teaching physics amongst the top five.

Tutoring is a highly academic profession and tuition teachers are selected based on two criteria:

1. The tuition teacher's ability to teach (for that, please refer to students' testimonials by clicking the "Testimonials" button on the left-hand panel).

2. The tuition teacher's academic track record (this appears to be of particular concern to top JC students, and their parents, who are often concerned that the tuition teacher may not have the academic pedigree to match the student's own).

For point No. 2, you do not have to worry. Mr. Phang has an unblemished academic track record and is capable of achieving resonance with some of the finest minds around. You are welcome to print out the following Tuition Teacher Comparison Sheet for reference.
