IGCSE Chemistry Tuition
Regular Evaluation & Feedback
A trial class report will be emailed to the client with the tutor’s feedback, and recommendations based on the assessments done in the class. For the students who signed up after the trial class, the parents are updated on which topics were covered and assignments provided after each lesson. Progress reports are communicated regularly to ensure that the plans are followed or adjusted based on the student’s pace.
The way she explained concepts helped me to easily understand
My tutor taught me at the beginning of my IB2. What I liked most about her lessons, was the way she explained concepts which helped me to easily understand. I went through the questions which I practised with her, and I would write down her explanations (for those questions that I answered wrongly) so that I could refer to the explanations during my revision. I wasn’t afraid to ask her questions because she wouldn’t get annoyed but rather encouraged me to ask questions, which helped to clear up misconceptions.
Dedicated and skilled tutors that have helped me improve my failing grades to well above passing marks
Mr Hongyi and Mr Kin Leong are both very dedicated and skilled tutors that have helped me improve my failing grades to well above passing marks, very close to a distinction. In a very short time, Mr Kin Leong was able to help me consolidate my Chemistry learning and correct my many misconceptions that were pulling my grades down. Similarly, Mr Hongyi was very patient with me and is very skilled in finding alternate ways to explain a concept when I could not understand it the first time. I am very thankful to the two of them for helping me achieve the grades I have today.
Also I would like to thank you and the various Mindlab admin staff that made arranging for lessons seamless and easy this past year 🙂
Helped me tremendously for my chemistry, from a 3 when I first started tuition with him to a 7 for my actual IBs
Mr Kin Leong has helped me tremendously for my chemistry, from a 3 when I first started tuition with him to a 7 for my actual IBs. From making sure I was familiar with every topic’s content to giving me practice papers every week and going through all the questions I had, he has put in a lot of effort to help me improve my chemistry and I am extremely grateful for his help.
A key role in helping me achieve a grade 7
Mr. KL played a key role in helping me achieve a grade 7 in SL Chemistry, as it was only because of his lessons that I could understand key concepts in the syllabus that I previously struggled with. His lessons are very focused on the topics that I need extra help with and the resources he gave helped a lot with my revision as well.
Her subject knowledge is strong
Ms Jullie was very patient when answering all my doubts and queries. Her subject knowledge is strong. She made me feel confident and prepared me well for my exams. Zoom lessons were also very convenient as this allowed me to save travel time.
He enjoys Mr. Kin’s lessons
As he likes to study math and science he enjoys Mr. Kin’s lessons.

My results have improved a lot after coming for only 3 months
The front desk is very helpful and the tutor I with is very knowledgeable about the subject. My results have also improved a lot after coming for only 3 months.
Helped me understand concepts that I could not previously, gave me vital worksheets and practice material, and aided me tremendously in my IB curriculum
Ms. Ashkin was a fantastic chemistry tutor. She helped me understand concepts that I could not previously, gave me vital worksheets and practice material, and aided me tremendously in my IB curriculum. Overall, she was a fantastic teacher and I would recommend her to any students studying chemistry.
[Final Grade: 6; Previous/Predicted Grade: 6]
Online tutoring was more time efficient and allowed me to spend more time studying
As a student who did online tutoring, I would actually consider it more useful than in person tutoring. Online tutoring was more time efficient and allowed me to spend more time studying. I believe your tutors were well equipped to teach in the pandemic and I received valuable tuition online.
He knows what exactly is required when answering the questions
He is very clear when giving explanations and he knows what exactly is required when answering the questions. Mindlab has helped by offering lessons that helped to clear the misunderstandings & confusions. Also, past year papers and answers were given such that we know the requirements while answering the questions.
[Final Grade: 7; Previous Grade: 7]
He gives a lot of practice papers which really helped me understand the subject better
Mr. Kin Leong is very patient when explaining the concepts that we do not understand, and when answering our queries. He gives a lot of practice papers as well which really helped me understand the subject better.
[Final Grade: 6; Previous Grade: 5]
Teaches in a very engaging way and gave me useful tips to face the exams
Mr. Kin Leong teaches in a very engaging way and gave me useful tips to face the exams.
Being able to switch between online and face to face lessons tremendously helped my exam preparations. The face to face lessons are practical and comfortable, and the online sessions allow for more flexibility which does not compromise on the quality of learning.

Mindlab nourishes students from basics with model papers and it is one of the best support for me to get the best scores in IGCSE
I took the IGCSE Exams in 2020 and took the valuable coaching from Mindlab. I’m extremely thankful to Ms Michele and Mr Kin Leong for taking me additional care for my Biology and Chemistry which i scored C(51%) in prelims where Mindlab tutors and Admin staff helped me to secure the correct slot and given me coaching to get A*(A star, ) in Biology(90%) and Chemistry(93%) in Final IGCSE results. I am much thankful and appreciated to the team and now i have taken HL Bio, Chemistry and Economics and again took the coaching from Mindlab tutors for IB for all the 3 HL subjects and including SL Mathematics and hope to get the best score out of IB. Mindlab nourishes students from basics with model papers and it is one of the best support for me to get the best scores in IGCSE and i will try my best to score full in IB.
Thanking you so much!
In just one lesson – he allowed me to see hope of improving in the subject
I remember first entering Mindlab for his Chemistry HL trial lesson in the middle of 2018. I walked in feeling apprehensive if it would be of any help, considering I only scored a low grade 4 in my Y5 common test despite working the hardest I have ever done. However, he reassured me and started his lesson on Chemical Bonding and Structures. I was surprised how he made the concepts understandable for me, and in just one lesson – he allowed me to see hope of improving in the subject. This hope stayed on and with his guidance, I managed to make a huge improvement and received a Grade 6 in my Y5 final year exam. He didn’t stop there though, and continued to push and encourage me to do even better. With time, he lead me on a journey to thoroughly enjoy Chemistry as a subject, and eventually allowed me to cross the Grade 7 boundary by more than 10 points for the IB exam. For his teaching, I am truly thankful!

The improvement I’ve made was quite amazing!
The improvement I’ve made, thanks to Ms Nicole, was quite amazing! In the beginning of the year, I was failing Chemistry HL. Although, I was actually giving up hope, Ms Nicole really put in a lot of effort to help me. She would make sure to go through everything and make sure that I could understand without any problem. So for this exam, I managed to get quite a high 5.
Knows how to break down solutions to questions into similar steps and explain them well
Physics: Very nice and patient, knows how to break down solutions to questions into similar steps and explain them well, helped me develop problem solving skills and made me more confident in answering questions during final exam.
Chemistry: Passionate about the subject, can explain theories very well, gives a lot of revision materials that are useful, always make sure that I fully understand what he is teaching, lessons are very productive.

His notes were concise and very helpful for reviewing before exams.
Mr. Leong provided me with comprehensive materials and practice questions to help me with my preparation for unit tests, mock exams, and final exams. Even if it wasn’t the topic we were currently covering, he had all the answers to my questions. His notes were concise and very helpful for reviewing before exams. He was flexible too, adjusting to fit my exam and school schedule ( e.g. picking up the essential parts when having less time preparing for the test / preparing for tests combining several units, etc). Overall his personality/ tone made me comfortable to ask any questions!
