“Thanks so much for your inspiration! I am now on track to becoming an MOE teaching scholar, having been awarded their Education Merit Scholarship, and I look forward to applying the techniques that you taught me, and your love for your subject, to my own future students.”
“The most striking feature of Mr. Phang's lessons is his idiosyncratic and lively teaching style, where he fuses humour seamlessly and effortlessly with complex physics concepts and explanations ... these classes were paramount in enabling me to achieve my distinction for the H3 'A' Level paper.”
“Surely, there is no better place to learn physics than in Mr. Phang's class, where questions are challenging and his explanations of them even more enlightening ...”
On an uneventful Saturday, while wrapping up his afternoon class, Mr. Phang has surprise visitors!

“Thank you for teaching me Physics ~ I've learnt a great deal from your lessons.”
“Mr. Phang is very funny and demonstrates physics in everyday analogies ...”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from his lessons, ...”
“so understandable everyone can understand and connect with it. Everyone.”
“The lesson was so interesting, I decided to join his physics class in Sec 2. It turned out to be the best choice in my life! (so far).”
“... by making even quantum physics crystal clear with his epic analogies and humour”
“... analytical thought and reasoning are inculcated through your continually entertaining lessons!”
“He uses truly interesting analogies to liven up the class atmosphere and make Physics look easy and fun to learn.”
“Will always remember your entertaining and effective lessons!”
“His teaching style is one of a kind, humorous yet strict when it comes to ensuring students comprehension of physics ...”
“A good portion of Mr. Phang's lessons are dedicated to guiding students on how to tackle the dreaded open-ended questions, giving his students a significant edge.”
“I only managed to get a Distinction for my H3 Essentials of Modern Physics A levels thanks to your innovative teaching methods! Your class was definitely a fun, engaging and challenging one.”
“... in early Sec 4 I was failing every single Physics test ... eventually I was even selected to do Physics at the H3 level and was part of a team of 25 students representing my school for the 2010 Singapore Physics Olympiad.”
“You have managed to turn a traditionally dry school subject into an entertaining and interactive adventure every lesson.”
“Thank you Mr. Phang for helping me achieve my A in H2 Physics and a Distinction in H3 Physics.”
“From nearly failing physics in sec 3 and having no interest in the subject at all, I came to understand physics so much better through Mr. Phang's help and to my own surprise, even took up H3 Physics!”
“Thank you for being such an entertaining and fun physics teacher! The analogies you use in class are really very memorable ...”
“Mr Phang has always been able to simplify concepts to enable his students to understand them better and at the same time, make them laugh.”
“... surrounded by top school students, I am probably one of your more unique students having skipped Sec 4 and JC2 classes to jump straight into H3 and was even given the chance to be the sole representative for my school in the SJPO!”
“Before I joined Mr. Phang's class, I could do well for physics but have little interest ...”
“His H3 lessons are like his H2 lessons and special IB lessons, entertaining and fun.”
“Even though I was two years younger, your lessons were very clear and easy to follow. The analogies and examples you used made things understandable ...”
“I had the best of both worlds - quality teaching for both the IB and A-level H2 and H3 programmes.”
“Mr. Phang's unique way of teaching, approachable personality and effective learning techniques made Physics more interesting to me ... pushed me to take up H3 physics.”
“Mr. Phang is a very humorous teacher, starting from waist exercises (when doing gravitational field) to Phang-nam style (when teaching electromagnetic induction). All these analogies made the lessons funny and helped me to memorise difficult physics concepts.”

“I applaud his method of teaching physics concepts which is through simple (and sometimes amusing) analogies such that any student can easily visualise.”
“It is impossible to get drowsy in his class, even for those lessons that lasted till midnight* as his lessons were always filled with humorous examples and analogies.” * The H3 physics class from 9:30 pm to midnight, despite its late timing, also has the most energetic students.
“His dedication is evident through the H3 lessons that he conducts till very late at night ...”
“I love the fun and wacky analogies he used to make the concepts more memorable.”
“Mr. Phang- thank you for all your guidance and help for H3 Physics; without going for your classes I would have still been struggling to grasp several concepts!”
“Hi Mr Phang I got distinction for H3 Physics. Thank you for your help. I got A for my H2 Physics too.”
“You make concepts much easier to understand and I thoroughly enjoyed your lessons and the jokes you cracked”
“I drastically improved my grade from U to A (and qualify for H3 physics)”
“Thank you for staying up so late every Friday to share with us your Physics knowledge, and explaining to us the practical applications too!”
“I enrolled in Mr. Phang's Sec 3 lessons when I was in Sec 1 ... progressively Mr. Phang has kindly allowed me to attend his JC1, JC2 and H3 lessons ...”
“His students’ stellar results speak volumes of his incredible teaching abilities. Under his tutelage, I was able to defend my title of Top in Physics in RI/RJC for 2 years in a row.”
“a testamont to the number of students he has taught who have gone on to attain many awards and accolades on the national and international level. That to me, is what truly makes Mr. Phang a super tutor.”
“Thank you very much for the fun and engaging lessons over the years.”
“... accompanied by funny, memorable and relevant jokes which aided the learning process.”
“The interest sparked within me propelled me from a C6 in my Sec 3 EOYs to attaining a gold medal for SPhO less than 2 years down the road.”
“Mr. Phang's lessons have made preparations for the new MOE H3 Physics (with the baffling syllabus) much more manageable, and it has played a crucial part in helping me achieve the distinction in H3 Physics”
“Filled with cool experimental demonstrations and humorous analogies, Mr. Phang's lessons lessons deliver content effectively and enjoyably”
“he delivers lessons in a humorous yet effective way, allowing students to find joy in learning phyiscs”
“True to its promise "First Class in Physics Tuition", Mr. Phang's lessons are unfailingly engaging and enriching.”
“His jokes and stories make difficult concepts easier to digest and remember.”
“His well-curated lesson notes helped me understand the concepts well and allowed me to score distinction in A levels.”
“Thank you for your good teaching and amazing notes that helped me fully understand every H3 topic”
“he uses relatable and humorous stories and analogies to help us better relate to concepts.”
“he was espcially adept at identifying seemingly impossible questions and then making their concepts easy to understand”
