It was another Awesome event! In 1 full day of Focus Learning, we managed to share our knowledge on Mole Calculations to a group of students committed to their success, and ensuring that they are equipped with all the essential basic concepts to handle all kinds of application questions in upcoming major chemistry examinations.
We have gone through step-by-step comprehensively (with exam-based questions) on Writing Chemical and Ionic Equations, Meaning of Spectator Ions, The Mole, Molar Mass & Mole, Volume of Reacting Gases, Volumetric Titrations, Concentrations (mol/dm3 & g/dm3), % Compostion of Compound, Emprical & Molecular Formulae, Molar Gas Volume, Limiting & Excess Reactants, % Yield and % Purity.

Mole Calculations Mastery Workshop is SOLD OUT!
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow @ the workshop.
Pictures will be out in few days time. Meanwhile, for those i cannot coach you personally, please keep your energy high up.
Remember this: “Wanting leads to Wanting, Doing Leads to Having”.
Work hard towards your goals! If you have been studying very hard for chemistry but have yet to score the marks you need, it means you do not have a strong foundation for your chemistry concepts. Do find help if that is the case bcos Chemistry is all about application of basic foundations of essential concepts.

Hi Parents and Students readers,
This might be an interesting blogpost where both of parties can understand the reason for choosing a certain location and time for studying. Please do note that these are suggestions that we believed works best for students in preparing for their revision, but it differs in performance in casde-by-case basis.
In Accelerated Learning Technologies, one of the most crucial part is on Focus Learning. You will need to devote time and energy to concentrate and focus on your studying.
Two days ago, we mentioned that Mole Calculations is the number 1 killer topic in O Level Chemistry, and many students are not doing well for it. In fact, a large number of students skip the calculation-based questions when they see it on examination, fearing that they spend alot of time on that question, and yet could not answer it.
Over the years, this topic is often voted the “Hot Favorite” on students’ challenging topics. Some have

Dear Students and Parents,
GCE O Level Examination is just 2 months away and many Singapore students might have finished their Preliminary Examinations. There are still a group of students that will only start their Preliminary Examinations in 2 weeks time and unfortunately, based on their schools’ planning, it will eat into their September 1 week holiday. For those that have not done well for their Prelims, hang-on there! Keep Your Faith & Keep The Fighting Spirit Going - it is not your final marks for GCE O Level. There is still time for you to find the effective method to achieve grades that your truly deserved. And for those that are sitting for Prelims in 2 weeks time, revise well. It wont be easy but you can do it! Keep motivating yourself!!!!

Halo everyone,
Over last few years, many students that i spoke to always complaint to me about Mole Calculations. Parents that called up to ask for help in Chemistry for their child always never failed to mention that their child cannot understand and score the “Calculation part of Chemistry“.
Several months ago, we decided to start a poll/survey for readers of this chemistry blogsite to investigate on the biggest challenge that students faces in learning chemistry. Months later, we have more than 100 polls on their biggest challenge, and this exclude those that read this blog, but did not do their polling. There are certainly thousands and millions of students that do not know this chemistry blogsite yet. I certainly would like to know how they feel about it. Do feel free to forward this blogsite for their learning.

How to Design & Deliver Your Presentations using PowerPoints That Sizzle!
I have been presenting and coaching for many years (formally and informally). Many people ask me what is the best form of presenting to grab the audience’s attention and to achieve the end results that we aim for.
My answer is always: ” Every form of presentations has its own merits and downsides, but all can be used to achieve your final aim. The most important thing is to determine your group audience and the purpose of your presentations. For coaching sessions where i want my students to absorb faster and more effectively, i would use Flip-Charts and Whiteboards. Especially for Flip-Charts, which is required for Accelerated Learning Techniques. But for generating ideas across to the audience where visuals are very important - i will use PowerPoint Presentations.”

It was another Awesome event! In 2 days (in fact in 8hrs plus) we managed to share our knowledge on Organic Chemistry to a group of students committed to their success, and ensuring that they are equipped with all the essential basic concepts to handle all kinds of application questions in upcoming major chemistry examinations.
We have touched base comprehensively on Fuels and Introduction, Homologous Series, Functional Groups and the Physical & Chemical Properties of all families of organic compounds. We have also covered extensively on Macromolecules with lots of industrial and everyday life examples.
