From D grades to NUS Engineering: full transcript
Francis and Qin Xiong, 4th A-Level attempt
Francis: Hi, my name is Francis.
Qin Xiong: And I’m Qin Xiong.
Francis: I took my A-Levels for the first time at Innova JC. I didn’t do well, and I had to retake them the following year. I decided to engage the help of Mr Anthony for my Physics and Maths. With his extensive help, I managed to make it to NUS after doing well for my A-Levels, and I’m currently a Year 1 student doing Mechanical Engineering.
I didn’t do very well for my A-Levels. I got D for Maths and Physics. The second time I retook my exams, I also got the same grade. The third time, I went to Orion Tuition Centre to get help. After a 7-month preparation programme, I managed to do fairly well. Honestly, I’m so grateful for all the extra consultation and practice Mr Anthony gave me. I still remember one time when he really put in the extra commitment to help me. I was getting late for camp because I stayed late for consultation with him. He actually drove me all the way to camp from the centre. So honestly, I’m very, very grateful for that.
Qin Xiong: I had the same experience as well. Initially, my motivation for retaking the A-Levels was quite low, as it was my fourth time. Nevertheless, Mr Anthony and Ms Agnes offered their support, and I was encouraged to study at the centre. My tutors never failed to offer their help. From twice a week to almost daily, I would spend my time at the centre for their support. I want to say thank you, Mr Anthony, for your help. Without your support, I wouldn’t have made it. I hope this short video will be useful to you, and I hope we’ll keep in touch.
He brings the apparatus into class: full transcript
Ling Ling, H2 Physics
Hello, this is Ling Ling, and I’m going to give a short summary of my experience with Orion Tuition Centre. In one of my tuition lessons, Mr Anthony brought in the apparatus and did a Physics practical demonstration on waves in class. It was very helpful because it let me get familiar with the set-up and the procedure of the experiment. And despite joining only in JC2, there were concise revisits of the JC1 topics throughout the year.
In class, whenever we had questions, he always did his best to answer them. Outside of class, he is also very open to consultations, and even if we were unable to make it down to the centre, he provided alternatives such as answering our questions through WhatsApp. He really answers those questions. I really feel that they try to provide the best for their students. Thank you.
Worksheets that cover every question type: full transcript
H2 Maths student
One thing I like about this Maths programme is that we are always given topical worksheets and selected questions, so we gain greater exposure to different question types. Secondly, one way Mr Anthony has certainly exceeded my expectations is that he always answers our questions outside curriculum time, no matter how many questions we pose to him.
The gaps he didn’t know he had: full transcript
CJC student, H2 Maths
The Maths programme has given me a lot of help for the A-Levels, because it has helped me improve on gaps in my concepts that I previously did not know existed. It also helped me strengthen my stronger topics through personally tailored worksheets catered to my weaknesses. The Maths programme has helped me a lot, especially in my A-Levels, because my Maths tutor, Mr Lee, spent a lot of his extra time providing consultation and gave very constructive feedback on how to take the next step to achieve the A that I’ve always wanted.

Hai Tao, 2nd A-Level attempt, H2 Maths, Physics and Chemistry
Hello everyone, I’m Hai Tao, a private candidate. Today I’m here to share my experience at Orion Tuition Centre. To me, the centre is truly one of the most caring and passionate centres in Singapore. Let’s first talk about the facilities. Inside Orion Tuition Centre, there’s a place where students are free to self-study and do their timed practices. So students who need space to study and can’t find anywhere else can just come down to the centre and do their homework and practice there. This is quite important to me.
Other than that, they also have a very flexible lesson structure. Students can come down to the centre physically or have their lessons online. So if students have a very tight schedule, maybe because of CCA or last-minute changes, they can choose to join the lesson on Zoom, and they won’t miss that lesson.
I also feel that the teachers at Orion are very friendly and approachable. The teachers who taught me were Mr Anthony and Ms Agnes. They are very, very approachable, so asking them questions is stress-free. I can ask them questions during lessons, after lessons, and sometimes even through WhatsApp. I just take a photo of the question and send it to them.
Other than that, the lessons are very fun, comprehensive and very clear. They explain tough concepts in very understandable, easy ways. This helped me shift from just memorising how to do certain types of questions to actually understanding them, and being able to use the methods for the newer questions that come out in the prelims or the actual A-Levels. I’m very lucky to have discovered this centre for my A-Level retake, and I truly feel this centre will help me get better results. Thank you, everyone.
