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.

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!!!!

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.”

Today i received 2 phonecalls  early in the morning. They are awesome calls that makes my day!

Hoho.. Don’t get me wrong!!! For students that have been under my wings before, you know that i am not a person that likes to be mixed Religions and Races together with Chemistry (or Sciences). And i would not like to argue like Charles Darwin on his Evolution Theory Vs. “God”.

I was reading a book borrowed from the national library titled “God Explained In a Taxi Ride” written by best-selling author Paul Arden, came across an interesting page related to Chemistry that would like to share with my readers and students.  In his book, he mentioned Gods of different religions such as Christianity, Catholic, Buddhism, Islam, Hindu, etc and even Scientology..

This will be an interesting blogpost. I was asked recently by a parent if my Intensive Bootcamp was being unreasonable at some point of “intensiveness” after she heard what the group of students (aka the ChemKidz) went through the bootcamp with me.

To put thing into perspective, the Intensive Bootcamp during the last week of June holiday was indeed “Intensive”. You want to know what we did there?? We have covered the Essential Basic Chemistry Concepts and Application Topics in 40hrs. To be more precise, in a short 40hrs (equal to 5 days from 9am - 5pm), we have covered 80% of the GCE O Level Curriculum that schools uses to teach in 1 1/2 years on a full time basis. 

Time is 1.32am in the morning, and i just came back home from the 5 days Intensive Program in Singapore, Expo. Tired now, but rallying to go for Day 2 of the program.

During the seminar, many people ask me how difference is my Chemistry Coaching different from the mainstream teaching in Secondary Schools by their own MOE (Ministry of Education) teachers.

You know what is my answer?? Totally Different! In fact, i told them that i am NOT a teacher from MOE. And my coaching is different to theirs in the following ways (in points):

I have been using Accelerated Learning Techniques to coach students under my Wings, in the area of Chemistry & Science.

Now, on 25th June 2008 @ 7.10am, i am preparing myself to move towards Singapore Expo, to attend a 5 days Intensive Seminar Program to learn more about Accelerated Learning Techniques and their effective applications.

Time for me to further upgrade and reinvent myself, so that i can be better charged up with more newer ideas and strategies to help students relate better to Chemistry and achieve the grades that they truly deserve.

Many of the local students would have gotten their Mid-Year Examination results or are getting it soon. Some would be feeling ecstatic while others will be asking themselves if they have put in enough efforts in preparing for that examinations.

For those that did very well, i would like to congratulate you and do Keep Up The Good Work! But always remember not to get complacent with this Mid-Year results and neglect your preparation for upcoming Prelims and GCE O Levels Examinations. Too often, we have seen top scorers for Mid-Year Exams fumble in the more important major exams like Prelims and GCE O Levels - all due to the simple word ‘complacency’

For the last 2 weeks, i have been helping students to utilize their available time to maximize their learning towards Chemistry, in order to prepare them for the coming Mid-Year Examinations. We are focused on helping the students to unblock the wrong chemistry concepts in their minds and instilling the correct ones. At the same time, we are also putting in lots of effort to motivate our students so that they have high energy while preparing for their examinations.
