U can try Indigo if u prefer to do both at the same center. If separately, u can try Achiever’s dream for chemistry and Nicklebee for math. We have not tried but heard from friends.

Which school is your child from? I know the 1-1 or small group home tutors focus on a few schools only. And the good ones are super costly! (We don’t use them as it’s too much $$$)

Sounds like a good plan! Can also check with your school mates and neighbours for reliable home tutors, share cost too. All the best!

Just saw this! Here's the first few paras for those who are not subscribers:

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/fourth-content-based-a-level-subject-to-be-dropped-from-university-admission-score
Changes are underway to reduce the stakes of the A-level examinations and free up space for students to explore their interests, as well as to enable adults to pursue a degree at later parts in their lifelong learning journey.

From 2026, students from junior colleges (JCs) and Millennia Institute (MI) will not need to count their fourth content-based subject in their university admissions, unless it improves their score, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Wednesday during the debate on his ministry’s budget.

Mid-year exams will also be gradually removed for JC and MI students from 2024, in line with the scrapping of such exams at the primary and secondary levels by 2023.

To give students more leeway to pursue issues of interest without worrying about results, the subject Project Work (PW) will be removed from the calculation of their university admission score, for the JC1 intake in 2024. They will be given a pass or fail, instead of letter grades.

Hi

Are they referring to the first batch of JC students getting results in 2026 , which means that the first batch of affected students are those born in 2007 ?
