IP Biology tuition in Singapore for Sec 1 to JC bridge: small-group classes (max 8), DBQ practice, essay structure, practical skills, and H2 transition.
Last updated: 2026-02-28
In Singapore’s Integrated Programme (IP), Biology leans heavily on data-based questions and extended essays, so we coach analysis frameworks (claim, evidence, reasoning) alongside weekly practical write-ups. This helps students defend answers even when graphs or scenarios feel unfamiliar.
Students who crave additional stretch receive curated readings, journal clubs, and mentor feedback on research proposals-once core physiology, genetics, and ecology foundations stick.
Theory fees (per subject)
Tiered monthly fees for 4 weekly 1.5-hour sessions.
Early Intake (Oct–Feb)
Regular Intake (Mar–Jun)
Catch-up Intake (Jul–Sep)
Note: If you enrol in the Regular or Catch-up intake and continue into the next year, your monthly fee resets to the Early Intake rate (SGD 360/month).

IP syllabi emphasise data interpretation, synthesis essays, and investigative skills early. Our lessons weave these components into weekly practice so students handle higher-order questions confidently.
Many students start in Year 3 when the content load and data interpretation demands ramp up, or before major WAs if they are struggling with answer precision. If your teen is starting later, start now and prioritise definitions, DBQ routines, and markscheme phrasing first.
Every topic includes timed DBQ drills. Tutors model how to translate unfamiliar graphs and tables into biological explanations using our PEEL + keyword checklists.

Her structured response jumped from 58 to 81 % once she used the PEEL templates and data-based question drills the tutors provided.
- Parent of DHS Y4 Biology
The concept maps for respiration and photosynthesis finally helped me connect the pathways. I scored full marks for the free-response section.
- SCGS Y3 IP Student
Appreciate the weekly DBQ clinics – he now scores 12/14 consistently because he knows how to translate graphs into biological explanations.
- Parent of NJC Y3 Biology
After missing Term 2, the revision bootcamp caught her up on ecology and cell biology. Her WA improved from 52 to 74.
- Parent of RGS Y2
The microscope skills checklist and planning practice raised my practical score by 10 marks.

Yes-our practical labs use digital microscopes, video analysis, and planning templates so students can design investigations, identify variables, and critique methodologies.
We teach essay frameworks that map content blocks to command words, then annotate model scripts so students internalise what examiners reward.
Students sit fortnightly mini-essays and MCQ/structured quizzes. Feedback dashboards flag misconceptions and recommend targeted practice sets for the next week.
Learners keen on Olympiad or research attachments receive curated readings, journal analysis sessions, and mentorship on research proposals once fundamentals are solid.
We cap IP Biology at 8 students. Lessons blend concept teaching, collaborative discussion, and independent timed practice to mirror school pacing.
In-person lessons run at Jurong East Centre (Vision Exchange) (2 Venture Dr, #16-07 Vision Exchange) and UClub LaunchPad @ one-north (67 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #02-14). See the Centres section above for full addresses and map links.
Fees are charged monthly per subject and tiered by intake period: Early Intake (Oct–Feb): SGD 360/month, Regular Intake (Mar–Jun): SGD 380/month, Catch-up Intake (Jul–Sep): SGD 400/month. If you enrol in the Regular or Catch-up intake and continue into the next year, your monthly fee resets to the Early Intake rate (SGD 360/month). Monthly fees cover 4 weekly 1.5-hour lessons. Holiday intensives or practical clinics (if needed) are scheduled separately-tap the WhatsApp button to check availability and class times.
Hybrid access is available-students can join live online or catch up through recordings and one-to-one consults scheduled within the same week.
