Mr. Dion Khoo is, without doubt, one of the most exceptional Chemistry educators I have ever encountered. His depth of knowledge, clarity in explanation, and passion for the subject truly set him apart. Complex concepts that often feel overwhelming in school are broken down into simple, logical steps that make Chemistry not only understandable but even enjoyable. What makes Mr. Khoo stand out is his ability to connect abstract theories with real-world applications, helping students see the bigger picture of why they are learning what they are learning. His lessons are highly structured yet interactive, ensuring every student remains engaged and motivated. He also provides concise, exam-focused notes and practice questions that target the exact skills needed for top performance in the IB/A Levels/O Levels. Beyond his teaching, Mr. Khoo genuinely cares about his students’ growth. He is patient, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile, whether it’s staying behind after class to clarify doubts or offering tailored advice to strengthen weaker areas. Under his guidance, students don’t just improve their grades; they gain confidence, discipline, and a deeper appreciation for Chemistry. Thanks to Mr. Khoo’s mentorship, many students, including myself, have achieved results we never thought possible. If you are serious about excelling in Chemistry, I cannot recommend Focus Chemistry and Mr. Dion Khoo highly enough. He doesn’t just prepare you for exams, he equips you with the mindset and skills to succeed far beyond them.

Mr Dion Khoo has been a very helpful teacher for my son. He teaches concepts in such a way that makes it easier for him to understand and has resulted in his results improving drastically after he started going for tuition at the start of year 4 compared to in year 3. He is more than willing to help anytime even outside of lessons and is friendly and approachable. Overall, I would definitely recommend anyone struggling with chemistry to try out this tuition center! 👍

Mr Khoo’s method of teaching helped lend clarity to the key principles and concepts that I struggled with, especially since Chemistry has always been one of my weaker subjects. He gives a lot of useful tips for scoring well during examinations. I also love that his teaching is clear and concise. Thank you Mr Khoo for helping me gain more confidence in my chemistry abilities.

Mr Khoo is a very amazing teacher. He's someone who transforms boring concepts and into engaging and impressionistic content, making it memorable and easy to recall during exams. Chemistry was usually boring previously, but under his tutelage, chemistry became something that's everywhere in life, and I truly enjoy both learning and observing it in real life!

I have studied here for about a year or close to a year. Mr Khoo has been a great teacher, helping me reaching my aims in this subject. He is calm and collected, and his teaching is easy to understand, with resources that i can use after the lesson to revise a topic or a section of it. Many of the complex concepts that I once didn’t know became comprehensible at a glance, as Mr Khoo explains them in a simplified and understandable manner. These aspects play a crucial role in being proficient in Chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Focus Chemistry charge per session?›
Focus Chemistry has not published a specific per-session rate, but pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$). Chemistry tuition in Singapore typically runs S$60–120 per session for small-group classes and S$100–250 for one-to-one tuition, depending on level and tutor profile. It is worth asking whether fees cover printed materials and practice papers, whether a trial class is charged at the standard rate, and whether a term or package commitment is required. Sibling discounts are occasionally offered by tuition centres — worth asking if applicable. See the full Test Prep & Admissions cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Many specialist tuition providers offer a trial class, sometimes at a reduced fee, so that students can assess whether the teaching style, pace, and level of difficulty suit them before signing up for a term. For chemistry in particular, it is useful to observe whether the tutor explains concepts from first principles or works primarily through past-paper drilling — both approaches work for different learners. When attending a trial, bring your most recent school test or examination paper so the tutor can assess your current level accurately. Contact Focus Chemistry directly to confirm their trial class policy and whether the session fee applies toward the first term.
What are the tutors' credentials at Focus Chemistry?›
Focus Chemistry has not published detailed tutor credentials on this listing. For a specialist chemistry provider, the most relevant qualifications to ask about are a degree or postgraduate qualification in chemistry or a related science, prior MOE teaching experience or NIE training, and familiarity with the specific syllabus your child is sitting — whether that is MOE O-Level (5076), A-Level (9729), IP, IGCSE, or IB Chemistry. A track record of students achieving improvements across multiple grade bands is a more meaningful signal than raw qualifications alone. Ask Focus Chemistry directly for tutor profiles and, where available, historical results data before committing.
