Programme Highlights

 

Please note that the indicated academic levels refer to your level in 2024.


By the end of this programme, students should be able to:

  • Identify and name various types of organic compounds and derivatives using the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) rules
  • Represent organic compounds using different types of formulae, such as displayed structural formula and skeletal formula
  • Describe physical and chemical properties of various types of organic compounds, including including the conditions, mechanism and products of their key reactions

Through the use of summarised notes, worked examples and practice questions, this programme will help students master key fundamental Organic Chemistry concepts and equip them with relevant question analysis and answering techniques that are required for the A-Level Chemistry examinations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is this programme suitable for?

This programme is suitable for students in Junior College 1 and 2 in 2024, regardless of whether they are from Mainstream or IP schools, or taking H1 or H2 Chemistry. This course also serves as an intensive revision for JC students who have already learnt the concepts covered.

 

2. Can existing Secondary 4 students from TLL attend this programme?

Yes. This programme contains new concepts that were previously not covered in Secondary 4 classes. Hence, existing Secondary 4 students from TLL can also attend this programme.

 

3. If I can only make it for 1 or 2 classes out of the 4 classes, can I still attend?

Students are not encouraged to miss classes as they will miss out on certain learning objectives (e.g. making comparisons between various types of organic compounds). However, since each class covers specific topics, it is still possible to attend specific classes.

 

4. Will the worksheets be marked? 

No. Answer keys will be provided at the end of the programme. Teachers will go through the answers in class. Due to the nature of the programme, our teachers will focus more on the teaching content, question analysis and answering methods/techniques. Hence, answer keys are provided to ensure that there is a model answer to check against after the programme ends. This is unlike our core program where we do not typically provide answer keys.
