Best Combined Science Tuition Centres in Singapore (2027): 10 Compared

The best combined science tuition centre depends on which pair your child takes and how they learn. For every combination including Biology, in groups of 3 to 6, look at Ancourage Academy (Bishan, Woodlands). For the lowest published fee and one teacher for both Physics and Chemistry, look at AO Studies near Bugis, at about S$40 an hour. For the most branches with a published fee, Overmugged has 7 centres at S$90 to S$95 a lesson. For the practical paper, Concept First runs a physics lab (Clementi, Marine Parade), and Achievers Dream (Bukit Timah, Lorong Chuan, Kembangan) and Uptas (Bedok, Thomson) give each student their own chemistry apparatus. In the north-east, New Dawn Learning Studio in Ang Mo Kio publishes its full 2027 fee table.

Combined Science is one subject made of two half-sciences, and centres teach it in different ways. Some run one class for the pair, some teach only one half, and fees are quoted per lesson, per 4 lessons, per 10 lessons or not at all. This guide lists each fee exactly as published and then works out a comparable cost per hour. Every fact was read on the centre's own website on 8 November 2026. Where a fact is not on the centre's site, we say "not published" rather than guess.

How we chose these centres

We searched Google for "combined science tuition singapore", "combined science tuition centre", "physics chemistry combined science tuition" and "sec 3 science tuition". We noted the centres that rank and the ones named by other top lists, then kept the centres that pass all four tests below.

All facts were checked on 8 November 2026. Fees often change each January, so confirm the current figure before you pay. No centre paid to appear here, and the detail section is in alphabetical order, not a ranking. Some centres also appear in our chemistry, physics and science round-ups. Here we look only at their Combined Science classes.

The 10 combined science tuition centres compared

The per-hour figure is our own estimate. We divided the published fee by the published lesson hours. Where a centre does not publish its fee or lesson length, we could not work it out.

Concept First and Physics Academy teach the Physics half only. Achievers Dream and Uptas teach the Chemistry half only. AO Studies and New Dawn teach Physics and Chemistry as two separate classes.

Google ratings appear only where we could read them on the centre's own page, from a widget that names Google. A blank means we did not verify one, not that the centre has none.

The 10 centres in detail

Achievers Dream

What is distinctive. A chemistry specialist with its own chemistry laboratory at 5 Jalan Bingka, which holds an NEA hazardous substances permit. Each student has their own apparatus. Its 2027 timetables list mixed Pure/Combined Chemistry classes for Sec 3 and separate Combined Chemistry classes for Sec 4 at all three branches. The monthly lab lessons from August to October are reserved for Combined Chemistry students, which lines up with the run-up to the practical.

Suits: a Physics/Chemistry or Chemistry/Biology student whose weaker half is Chemistry, especially the practical. May not suit: a student who wants both halves at one centre, since only Chemistry is taught at secondary level.

Fees as published: S$460 for 5 lessons for Sec 3 and Sec 4, made up of 4 two-hour theory lessons and 1 monthly masterclass on Zoom, with GST included. On top of this are materials and printing fees of S$131, a S$55 registration fee and a deposit of 2 lesson fees, used for the last two lessons. Sec 4 lab lessons cost S$164 each (S$492 for 3), plus S$55 for chemical consumables per lab lesson and a S$109 lab registration fee that current students do not pay. The price list says lab lessons come at no extra charge if tuition is paid termly for Terms 1 and 2. Trial terms and class size are not published.

Branches: 9 Jalan Bingka, Bukit Timah (HQ). 151 Lorong Chuan #01-16. 19 Jalan Masjid, Kembangan. The nearest MRT is not published. Lorong Chuan and Kembangan MRT stations are close to the branches of the same name, by our reading of the addresses.

What the Combined Science exam actually tests

From 2027, secondary students in Full Subject-Based Banding sit the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC). At G3, Combined Science comes in three pairs, and each replaces an O-Level syllabus: K326 Science (Physics, Chemistry) replaces 5086, K327 Science (Physics, Biology) replaces 5087, and K328 Science (Chemistry, Biology) replaces 5088. At G2 the codes are K223, K224 and K225. Our SEC syllabus codes guide lists the rest.

Every candidate sits Paper 1, Paper 5 and the two science papers for their pair: K326 takes Papers 2 and 3, K327 takes Papers 2 and 4, and K328 takes Papers 3 and 4. The pair adds up to one subject and one grade, out of 200 marks. Our O-Level Physics, O-Level Chemistry and O-Level Biology tuition pages cover the topics in more depth.

How it differs from Pure Science

Combined Science and the path to JC or poly

Combined Science does not close the JC door. Nanyang Junior College, for example, lists "O-Level Chemistry or Science (Chemistry)" as assumed knowledge for H2 Chemistry, and the same pattern for H2 Physics and H2 Biology. Pure Sciences cover more topics, for example 20 Physics topics in K323 against 16 in the Physics half, so ask the JC how it supports students from Combined Science. For poly, MOE's CourseFinder lists Science (Physics, Chemistry), Science (Physics, Biology) and Science (Chemistry, Biology) beside Physics, Chemistry and Biology as a relevant subject, at grade 1 to 6, for the Chemical Engineering diploma with course code T33. Check each course, since requirements differ. Our Combined Science guide, L1R5 guide and JC or poly guide cover this in more detail. Our Combined Science tuition page explains how we support each pair.

Centre, home tutor or online?

The cheapest hour is usually a centre group class. The most tailored hour is one-to-one. Here is how the published centre fees above compare with the rates on our rate card.

A worked example: a Sec 4 Physics/Chemistry student at AO Studies takes two 2-hour classes at S$320 per 4 lessons each, which is S$640 every 4 weeks, or S$160 a week for 4 hours. At New Dawn, a Sec 4 lesson in each half costs S$190 a week for 3 hours. One 1.5-hour lesson a week with a full-time tutor at S$45 to S$65 an hour costs S$67.50 to S$97.50 a week and can split time between the two halves. Many families use a centre for the weaker half and add a few one-to-one sessions before prelims.

Online classes suit older students who will ask questions on screen. Ancourage, The Physics Cafe and Uptas offer live online lessons. Practical work is harder to coach online.
