Primary 3 Science Tuition at Punggol | Starting Strong with eduKate

Why Primary 3 Science Is a Big Step

Primary 3 is the first year Science becomes an examinable subject in Singapore schools. For many children, this is their first experience of:

Learning scientific concepts beyond daily life observations.
Answering structured questions with keywords.
Applying process skills (observe, classify, compare, explain).
Sitting for Science tests alongside English and Math.

Many P3 students find Science exciting but also overwhelming. Parents often notice that their child:

Memorises facts but struggles to explain “why” or “how.”
Is unsure about using scientific vocabulary.
Treats Science as a subject to memorise, not understand.

At eduKate Punggol, our Primary 3 Science tuition builds curiosity, understanding, and exam confidence from the very start.

Small-Group Classes (3 Pax for Maximum Attention)

Our P3 Science tuition is limited to 3 students per class:

Tutors give individual attention to guide students through new concepts.
Students learn through interactive activities, experiments, and diagrams.
Lessons are paced carefully to prevent misconceptions.

With 20+ years of teaching experience, we make sure students don’t just “memorise notes” but truly understand Science as a way of thinking.

Parent FAQs (Schema-Ready)

Q: How is Science taught differently in Primary 3 compared to lower primary subjects?
A: Science in P3 introduces structured thinking — students must observe, classify, and explain using keywords, rather than just recall facts.

Q: Do you use experiments in tuition?
A: Yes. We incorporate simple experiments and demonstrations to make Science fun and memorable.

Q: Will tuition at P3 really help with PSLE later?
A: Absolutely. Building strong habits (keywords, structured answering, process skills) early prevents the bad habits that cause marks to be lost in P5 and P6.

Q: How do you keep lessons engaging for young students?
A: We use visuals, real-life examples, and interactive discussions to connect Science to daily life.
