Duncan Yap

What our students say

"Duncan’s lessons have truly been a game changer for me in terms of effectiveness, as he made complex concepts very easy to understand and absorb efficiently, while also making lessons fun and engaging by constantly asking students questions on the topic to promote active learning and recall. His summary notes at the end or beginning of each chapter also really helped to consolidate all the concepts with ease. With constant practice and effort, Duncan helped me secure an A for H2 Physics in the A Levels."

"Duncan is an exceptionally enthusiastic and dedicated tutor who gives his full attention to every student, ensuring that they truly grasp the concepts being taught. He is incredibly patient and persistent, often going the extra mile to make sure no question goes unanswered, even replying to queries well past midnight. His ability to break down complex Physics concepts into clear and understandable explanations has made a huge difference to my learning. Even as someone who did not initially enjoy Physics, his teaching helped me develop a much better understanding of the subject and ultimately achieve an A at A Levels."

"Duncan’s teaching helped me to break down complex concepts and understand them rather than memorise them. The practice materials given by Zenith also gave me more exposure and helped me stay consistent in my work. Soon, I could follow along better in school lessons, and my grades improved in every assessment. Duncan's lessons also helped me to appreciate physics more, which made the learning process more interesting!"

"Before joining Zenith, I was really struggling with understanding my school's Physics notes. Duncan's lessons were extremely useful in covering Physics concepts in a simple and clear manner, which completely transformed the way I learnt and understood physics. Duncan also replied to many of my Physics questions on Whatsapp and helped me to clear my misconceptions really quickly! Thanks to his support, I was able to confidently achieve an A at A Levels."

"I was legit struggling with my physics and thanks to duncan and his class I was able to improve so much especially in the second half of jc from an S in promos to a C in prelims to an A in Alvls. He legit helped improve not only my understanding in certain concepts but my love for the subject itself. I finally enjoyed studying physics when i started understanding it more, thanks to duncan. Zenith pls increase his pay duncan solido tutor."

"uncan has helped me tremendously in my physics journey throughout my JC life, allowing meto see large improvements in my physics performances due to his relentless guidance and 24/7support. Many other people around me have also agreed that Duncan is one of the best physicstutors out there, with fun and engaging classes that help students develop and nurture apassion for the subject."

"duncan helped to break down challenging concepts into parts that are more bite-sized andeasily understandable, which allowed me to grasp concepts faster and better than myclassmates. he also made physics lessons more fun and had me looking forward to learningphysics. thanks to zenith, i was able to go from a U in j1 to an A in A Levels! :)))"

"attending duncan’s lesson helped me gain exposure to questions my school didn’t which wasreally helpful! lessons were also really easy to understand and enjoyable! did not onceregret joininggg! thanku for the A"

"I was referred to Duncan's H2 physics tuition in J2 by a classmate. I was always skeptical aboutthe amount of help tuition could provide me until I came across Duncan's phenomenal teachingstyle. His passion for the subject really shines through in his teaching and frankly captivates metowards learning more deeply abt physics. Duncan is very clear and concise when goingthrough concepts for the first time and its just so easy to understand under his teaching. He alsorevisits concepts to solidify our understanding and is consistently patient with all of us. He neverfails to engage the class and will make sure each of us are thinking by asking us questions. He makes learning a process that is meaningful and not just for the sake of it. Furthermore inlessons, when we answer wrongly he would just explain to us and it honestly helps us avoid ourmistakes even better. I must really thank him for making me enjoy physics and that pushed meto work harder, allowing me to achieve A grade in A LEVELS."

"Duncan is an extremely capable teacher who has a vibrant personality. His passion for physicsis infectious, and has encouraged me to work harder in physics His classes are full oflaughter and active participation, as Duncan makes the effort to include every student indiscussions in a fun way. Undoubtedly, Duncan’s lessons helped me get an A for physics whichwould have never happened otherwise. If I could, I would refer every person who is struggling inphysics to Duncan. YEAA!!"

"before attending duncan’s physics class, my main issue was not knowing when and whyformulas are applied. because of this, i would always get a passing grade for physicsconsistently till the mid-year exams. after i was taught by duncan, i could grasp physicsconcepts much more easily mainly because he taught me how to appreciate the topics and theirpossible relevance to other topics as well. this made physics as a subject much more interestingto me and thus motivated me to understand the concepts rather than blindly memorise formulasor the structure of exam questions. surely enough, i got a 68% for my EOY physics paper, asignificant improvement from my last test, after duncan’s guidance. without duncan’s help, idefinitely would not have been able to gain traction and thus build momentum to tackle futuretopics confidently. it goes without saying that being able to achieve a distinction for A levelphysics is a result of the foundations that was laid by duncan and his engaging lessons thatmade me enjoy physics much more!"

"duncan is a vv engaging physics teacher that is able to explain concepts that seem verycomplex initially simply and always asks us questions during lessons which helps me rememberthe concepts better he’s also very willing to answer your questions 24/7 and overall a vvvsolid physics tutor. 10/10 recommend"

"before coming to duncan’s zenith physics class i was super lost in physics and couldn’taccurately understand all the difficult concepts taught in school. however duncan’s verylighthearted and informative way of teaching made it very easy to grasp the concepts taught andthe constant extra tips he gave us helped me to improve my speed at solving physics questions which was one of my weak points. even outside of tuition hours he also helps us in his free timewhen we have queries about physics questions in our school papers and it was really helpfultoo. he helped me improve my physics from a U to an A from j1 to j2!! thanks duncan"

- Eunice Tan, EJC, Class of 2023

"Physics, a subject that consistently challenged me from secondary school through JC1. Seeking to overcome this hurdle, i attended a zenith physics trial class led by Duncan. In just one session, Duncan introduced numerous answering techniques that illuminated previously challenging concepts such as Dynamic’s collision questions. Encouraged by this breakthrough, I  joined Duncan's class, realizing that his teaching style rendered physics less intimidating than I had always perceived. Duncan's infusion of jokes and humor not only made classes enjoyable but also facilitated learning. Moreover, his accessibility for consultations via WhatsApp and Zoom, even late at night, ensured timely clarification, with his explanations consistently comprehensive and thorough. My most notable progress occurred within a mere three months of joining Duncan's class, transitioning from an E in my JC2 term assessment to an A in the mid-year assessment. This upward trajectory culminated in an A grade in the A-levels—an achievement I attribute solely to Duncan's unwavering support and guidance. Beyond academia, Duncan served as a mentor, sharing invaluable insights from his own JC and university experiences, offering motivation and support during challenging times. In essence, Duncan's exceptional teaching not only enabled me to excel in physics but also instilled a newfound enjoyment and appreciation for the subject."
