Mr. David Wong
JC Chemistry Tutor, Learners’ Lodge
Mr David Wong graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Science degree with Honours in Materials Science. He was awarded the MOE teaching award and his specialized teaching subjects are Chemistry and English. He served as a subject teacher of Chemistry in Saint Andrew’s Junior College from Jun 2003 to Dec 2008. He is a creative teacher who can capture the attention of his students by using different pedagogies to explain difficult concepts. He cares deeply about the academic performance of his students and will stay back till late in the evening to provide consultations on H1, H2 and H3 Chemistry for them. In co-curricular activities, he had shown outstanding leadership in the Student Council and Scholarships Committee. He was involved in organising major events such as the college’s Open House and Teacher’s Day celebrations. He was in charge of the 120 scholars in the college. They come from the ASEAN nations, China and India. The work done by David and his committee was well-recognized by the college. They won the Outstanding Contribution (Team) College award in 2006. The scholarships section in MOE has provided the Permanent Secretary with anecdotal evidence of this committee’s work and this has been mentioned in her speech at Tea for Teacher-Mentors (March 2006).
Subsequently, David was offered an international school teaching position in the British Section of Taipei European School in Jan 2010. He was the leading Chemistry teacher who taught Higher and Standard Level Chemistry at International Baccalaureate (IB) level. He has attended several IB chemistry conferences in the region. He is trained in marking chemistry examinations, practicals and coursework and has supervised numerous chemistry Olympiad projects. As a form tutor to senior high school students of many years, David has organised various chemistry remedial and workshops to help prepare his potential pre-medical students for example on how to create their portfolios, how to search for universities and courses and interview techniques. His concern for these students is evident in that he coaches them for Ox-bridge interviews and even give them pointers on grooming before they appear before the interview board. Many of his students have successfully entered universities such as Imperial, UCL, LSE in the UK and Ivy League colleges in the US.
After spending five years abroad, David has decided to return to Singapore to spend quality time with his family in 2015. He has joined Learners’ Lodge and is looking forward to sharing his knowledge of A-level and IB Chemistry with the students under his pastoral care.

The JC Chemistry tutor in Learners’ Lodge made chemistry lessons really enjoyable with his witty and enthusiastic teaching style and it was through his lessons that I solidified my foundation and improved on my gaps of knowledge. He uses interesting examples and anecdotes which made it so much easier to understand the concepts. I’m grateful for his teachings, allowing me to secure an A for H2 Chemistry in the A levels.

There are two types of teachers, one who teaches their students what the syllabus dictates and the other, who go beyond the coursework to teach their students things that life dictates.
Thank you for being the latter. I have learned from your silence more than your talk since you are one of the few who talk less, and say more.

The tutor at Learners’ Lodge is incredibly dedicated and takes the time to explain Chemistry concepts to students patiently. He went out of his way to ensure I had extra notes and practices for my weaker topics, and was willing to schedule consultations when I needed them. I am very thankful to Learners’ Lodge for my A’s in A-Level Chemistry and would strongly encourage other A-level students to go for the lessons there too!
