Parents' Testmonials

Dear readers and parents, As today is National Day, Happy Merdeka! This post is dedicated to share with everyone the heartfelt messages that we have received from our parents. Thank you to you parents for taking the time to pen down the testimonials for Honsbridge. We are ever grateful of the wonderful partnership that we have built with our parents. Without their support in bringing their children on time for their classes and their time during parents' and teachers' review and even at school events, our students will not have come as far as they did. I am also most grateful to our team of teachers who have worked hard and enjoyed even more teaching our inaugural graduates. Well done us!!! As seen here with Ms. Jenny, Mr. Dom along with me. Received on 23 Aug 2010 "Dear Emma, We are indeed honoured to be associated with Honsbridge. We, of course realised that Elise could not have had the desired results without Honsbridge's help. Not only from you but also Dominic ...

Study Cambridge O Level Qualification at Honsbridge

Hello one and all, It is with much enthusiasm that i am sharing with you why students are happy studying O Level/IGCSE at Honsbridge Academy. We have experienced and qualified academic trainers in Additional Math, Business Studies, Chemistry, English, History and Physics. We provide structured lessons according to the syllabus and work very closely with our students during lessons and supervised prep times. It is no wonder our students and teachers have a strong bond with one another. Our students are young and dynamic individuals aged between 15 and 18. Everyone has a talent that is waiting to be discovered if not already 'discovered'. There is great companionship to be found and great things to learn from one another. Most importantly, students who join us at Year 9 will be prepared to take their O Level exam in 1 year or 1 1/2 year. The pace of Honsbridge structured tuition is fast as time is the essence. This means that our students are capable of obtaining their O Level...

Honsbridge Information Day Questions & Answers Session

Hello everyone, Thank you for making the last three series of Information Day on the 22nd Feb, 26th Feb and 28th Feb a success. It was a great pleasure to share with all the useful information on O Level and IGCSE in Malaysia. Last night, it occurred to me that I should post some of the most frequently asked questions and response here to benefit everyone. Some of the most frequently questions and responses are as follows: 1) What is IGCSE and what does it stands for? When I used to work in the United Kingdom for the last 4 years, I have taught my tutees to prepare them for their General Certificate Secondary Education (GCSE)exams. As the GCSE exams are made available to students outside of the United Kingdom, hence the name International GCSE. In short, GCE O Level, GCSE, IGCSE are all equivalent qualifications conferred by the Cambridge Syndicate Board of Examinations. 2) What is the difference between Cambridge GCE O level and IGCSE? Besides the name, the key difference is really th...

IGCSE/O level Chemistry

How to do well in IGCSE/O level Chemistry? Following on from "Why study Chemistry?", I will attempt to share with all young chemists- want-to-be some key must- know concepts . Know your periodic table, there is a wealth of information that you can get simply by referring to the periodic table. The elements in their respective Group have the same number of outermost electrons as their Group number. e.g. Group V elements will have 5 valence electrons. Whereas the elements in their respective Period have the same number of electronic shells as their Period number. e.g. Al is in Group III and in Period 3, therefore it has three electronic shells and three valence electrons. The Group number of the element also suggests how many more or less electrons that the element needs to gain or loose to become as stable as the Group VIII elements. e.g. Since Br is in Group VII, it has 7 valence electrons, to become stable like Group VIII elements, it needs to gain 1 more electron...
