Joey Shi (RI, 2018, scored A)Before joining Mr Daniel Yeo’s lessons, I struggled to grasp the concepts of physics. However, after I had attended Mr Yeo’s lesson, I could better understand the concepts as he would simplify them and go through them repeatedly. He would also provide us with resources such as concept summaries and extra practices which allowed me to improve greatly. This is because I could expose myself to more questions and train my answering techniques for exam questions.
Besides that, Mr Yeo’s dedicated and friendly personality allowed me to approach him for consultations to clarify any doubts I had.
I am thankful and grateful for Mr Yeo for being such a caring teacher and allowing me to achieve my desired grades for my A levels.
Advait (VJC, 2018, scored A)
BIG THANKS to Mr. Daniel Yeo for being patient, passionate and thorough as a Physics tutor.
His notes are concise and bring out the essence in each topic so revising is a breeze, and he is very approachable if you ever have any doubts. Sitting for A Levels, I was the least anxious for my physics paper and I can only be grateful to have had such a supportive tutor to back me up.
Tan Yi Zhen (MJC, 2018, scored A)
Firstly, I came in end of J1 with a ‘U’ in Physics and jumped to an A through Mr Daniel Yeo.
I cannot thank him enough, partially because I didn’t like the subject due to its rigour. However, Mr Yeo’s style of teaching was moderately paced such that challenges faced made me improve rather than give up. He is very approachable and patient, I would add on, hardworking as well in regards to helping his students in grasping concepts and applying them. Knowing that visual aids helped his students, he would show us videos, draw graphs, use analogies (quite funny for me) do whatever he can to make sure we understand.
Working with Mr Yeo, definitely will see a change.

Thank you Mr Yeo for always giving me a pat on the back and checking my progress!
His teaching techniques are straight to the point and very concise making it digestible for me which often struggled with concepts of modern physics. Even after I messed up my A level practical he still believed in my potential to get A and that gave me plenty of confidence to take the written papers.
With his support and his advice on what to study, I got a pretty secured distinction for physics. Thank you so much!
Denise Lam (NJC, 2018, scored A)
Thank you, I did well in my A Levels, and I think it’s very fitting to thank you for everything, seeing as how my Physics did make drastic improvements after attending your lessons :)
I owe much to the notes that you wrote and the tutorial exercises that you provided. It was almost all I referred to for revision and practice in the lead up to the A Levels and I’m not over exaggerating when I say that it really saved my grades.
Especially helpful was the final compilation of notes of every chapter that we were given in the final months before As. The MCQ questions really helped me identify my misconceptions and pointed out trick questions and pitfalls in every chapter. That boosted my confidence and understanding significantly.
Also thank you for answering my barrage of questions at odd hours. I asked a lot of pretty stupid questions and thank you for taking the time to explain each and every one of them till I understood all my mistakes.
Thanks for everything Mr Daniel Yeo!

Wang Si Ying (DHS, 2018, scored A)
My physics grade jumped from an E to an A (A-Level) in 5 month! I could not even believe it myself.
I tried so many methods and worked so hard to improve my grades. I finished the 1000 MCQs in a month but that didn’t help as I could not figure out the confusions I had. I then turned to Mr. Daniel Yeo for help when I was halfway through JC2. I would practice Mr. Yeo’s materials and he is also very kind to answer all the questions I had. I didn’t even need my school’s notes anymore. I could just refer to Mr. Yeo’s materials and score an A.
Mr. Yeo, thank you so much. You are the best Physics teacher I have ever had!

Mr Daniel Yeo, a physics tutor at Learners' Lodge, has played an important role in improving my knowledge of physics.
Before I joined Mr Yeo's class, I used to struggle with physics. I failed almost every test and I used to go to physics class with empty tutorials. However, when I joined Mr Yeo's class, I regained my confidence in physics. He explains every physics concept very thoroughly and clearly, and also teaches how to answer A-level questions which enabled me to master physics. His passion to teach physics and determination to let every of his students succeed always inspires me to give my best in physics.
I am grateful to Mr Yeo for his proactive teaching methods that enabled me to understand physics to greater depths.
Andy Andikko (HCI, 2017, scored A)
Mr Yeo is a cheerful and very caring teacher who is able to make personalised teaching even in a group lesson. Having taught for many years his experience and encounters with many kinds of students has helped hone his teaching abilities. Mr Yeo constantly updates himself with new A-level contents making him a truly A-level specialist. Mr Yeo is a a very kind teacher who never resorts to scolding to maintain class order or get one to study. Instead, the quality of teaching and promise of better results motivate the students to listen attentively. Mr Yeo's concise notes and ample practice has allowed me to survive school exams with ease even without listening in school lectures. He is an understanding teacher who can push a weak student to his greatest potential and a strong student to continue scoring.
It was definitely a fun and essential learning experience which I will miss.
Ameline Goh (HCI, 2017, scored A)
Mr Yeo has been a really good Physics teacher and I feel really blessed to have him as my teacher. From having many years of experience of teaching Physics in various JCs and now in Learners' Lodge, he has an immense wealth of knowledge about Physics, the various question types and answering techniques, and yet despite that always strive to keep up with this knowledge, especially with the new syllabus in place. He often shares his depth of knowledge of the Cambridge syllabus with us, making appropriate links to them where necessary, and introduces us to interesting and relevant Physics videos to help us gain a deeper understanding of the subject as well as fuel our interest in the subject. His lessons are always really engaging and I've really managed to understand Physics a lot better after his lessons, particularly with his clear and concise teachings. He never fails to make difficult concepts seem easy to grasp, which is something I really like about his lessons. The lesson notes and extra worksheets he gives us are extremely useful as well, and I find that they are at times even clearer that the lecture notes from school and helps me gain a more in-depth understanding of the concepts and skills in approaching the various question types. His lesson plans are also very well planned and organised, making sure we are equipped with the knowledge and skills to answer questions from all the various topics, as well as incorporating lessons on Planning and teaching us practical skills where appropriate which I have to come find very useful.
In addition, he constantly seeks feedback from students about the teaching style which would be the most suited for them and they would prefer, which has helped me to consolidate what I've learnt from his lessons better, as well as grow greater confidence in approaching the various questions.
I have grown to like Physics a lot, thanks to Mr Yeo!
His dedication and guidance really motivates me to work harder and strive to do my best. Beyond just Physics lessons, he is extremely encouraging, always motivating me and believing in me when I doubt my capabilities. He also strive to get to know his students better on a more personal level as well as extends great care and concern for their well-being. I cannot be more thankful for him, for all the times Mr Yeo had to stay back till rather late beyond our 7-9 pm tuition class to answer my questions as well as of other students.
He is highly dedicated and capable teacher that wants the best for his students and is willing to go out of his way to teach and help his students as well as care for them as individuals.
Thank you, Mr Yeo!
Caleb Chia (CJC, 2017, scored B)
I really want to to thank Mr Yeo from the bottom of my heart for the countless hours and immeasurable efforts he puts into every lesson and every student. I was apprehensive about the idea of having tuition when my Dad first brought it up. However, after the trial lesson, I found the lesson really insightful and helpful. Lessons conducted are always informative and direct, whatever that is required of our understanding is explicitly stated in each topic overview. Moreover, Mr Yeo takes the extra mile to input videos to help visual learners line me to understand complex concepts via QR codes, it ameliorates our process of self-directed learning outside the classroom as the videos are so easily accessible when we it to refresh our understanding of concepts.
On top quality lessons, Mr. Yeo's notes are simple yet concise that aids in our understanding of the topics. The practice questions after every topic really target the salient concepts that each topic requires us to be masterful at. There are also challenging questions that really allow us to dig deeper into our understanding of the concepts After letting us try out the questions, he will write down the steps on how to approach the question systematically and the pertinent concepts that are required to be understood when attempting that question and personally I really appreciated that as it enlightens those who are clueless about how to approach the question.
Mr. Yeo came off as a stern and boring teacher on the first impression, however, he was the complete opposite as I got to know him throughout the course of 1.5 years. Mr. Yeo exudes passion and dedication in everything he does. He goes beyond teaching the subject and immersed himself and the class in appreciating the subject and seeing the beauty of physics. He is really really approachable and this is coming from a guy who is rather shy and is always filled with questions. He values every question asked.
Overall, the experience with Mr Yeo has really been very beneficial and enriching and I'm really thankful for the efforts Mr Yeo has put in. Thanks, Mr Yeo!

Mr Yeo is a dedicated and sincere teacher who puts keen effort in his explanation. His concise physics notes and effective drilling practices are just some of the areas I have benefited from.
Sandy Woon (ACJC, 2015, scored A)
Physics has always been an elusive subject to me. Contrary to popular opinion where “you just got to understand how it works and everything will just flow from there”, my 2 year H2 physics journey has honestly proven otherwise. Up till my promotional exams in J1 I still did not know exactly what was going on in class. Every single time I tried to apply the concepts taught after an intensive self-study session or sitting through a lecture with my ears pricked up, I would ALWAYS end up at this point where the answer to the question defies my train of thought. Disappointment ensues and the interest in physics dwindles with my self-confidence. They say reward correlates with the amount of effort put in, but to me, it has never been that way.
Zhen He, DHS, 2024

To be honest,
one of my biggest regret in my JC life is not joining Mr Yeo earlier in JC 1.
Mr Yeo has truly changed my way of learning Physics in which he always urge us to focus on the process and not the answers. Moreover, his lessons are always well planned and comprehensive that focused on topical mastery, enabling us gain confidence as we attempt more questions together as a class. Mr Yeo’s dedication towards making his lessons enjoyable and at the time understandable is truly commendable. What makes Mr Yeo special is his unique ability to break down complex ideas into one that most students including myself are able to grasp. Under Mr Yeo’s guidance, there are significant improvements in my grades but importantly my understanding for the topic which I am very grateful for.
To end off, if those who are in need of a mentor to help them make sense of any physics concepts, Mr Yeo will be the first person whom I will recommend!

Hi Mr Yeo, your teaching style is very in depth.
I like how for every chapter u will give us summary notes first and go through
the main points telling us what is important and no so important to know so
that we avoid studying everything blindly. Then when we do questions u will
always give us time to try first and not just feed us all the answers. this
always gives me a reality check on what I know and don’t know so that I know
what to pay more attention to when u are going thru the ans.
And thank you for your guidance throughout these 2 years!
Anvita, SAJC,

useful. I also liked how you gave us practice from the TYS when doing the
revision as I think it helped us identify commonly tested question in our TYS
and how to tackle them. I think the timed practices were the most useful and
feel that we could have had them during our normal classes before the revision
classes as well as they help us spot our gaps in our content. Apart from that
everything else was useful and helpful, thank you
Xin Yi (RI, 2023)
Mr Yeo is a very helpful
and passionate teacher who always encourages me to ask questions when in doubt
and is always willing to answer me even outside of the centre. He has helped me
improve tremendously from when I first failed my J1 CT to getting consistent Bs
in school. This can be attributed to his clear and concise teaching style which
enables me to not only understand the topic better, but also grasp the
essential skills in each topic through a lot of practice. I am extremely grateful
for all the help he has offered, such as going through my school papers before
lesson starts and answering all the questions that I have patiently.
Fervine (DHS, 2023)
Mr. Yeo is a patient and engaging teacher. He breaks down concepts for student to understand easily and explains it step by step. He also has a clear understanding of the A-level requirements and teaches student on what to look out for. He is also an encouraging teacher who motivates his students to learn, alongside with his support during lesson and outside lesson timings. I was able to clarify my doubts and develop a greater interest for Physics. Even through a period of a few months, my grades have greatly improved under his teaching!
Lad Bijal Bhupendra (ASRJC, 2022)
I am Bijal from ASRJC and I am writing this testimonial for Mr Yeo. I have been joining his class for two years and here is what I have to say about him. Mr Yeo’s notes are extremely organised, structured and easy to understand. They have exactly what is needed by students to answer questions- both Cambridge style or school based papers. Furthermore, the questions in the worksheets in itself are thought-provoking and also of a desired standard that meets the demands of the syllabus and more. Not only are the worksheets designed by Mr Yeo carefully crafted to suit the needs of the students, but the combination of the notes and Mr Yeo taking his time to explain the concept thoroughly and passionately has helped to embed in me key concepts and basic fundamentals of physics like none other. Furthermore, his experience in teaching has also made him one step ahead of the students in identifying or cautioning them of mistakes that they can make before even they make it which has allowed for me to spot my carelessness and errors while I am attempting the questions before submitting my work. Under Mr Yeo’s guidance I have also been able to bridge the gaps in my knowledge and have become more sharp in my understanding of physics as a subject. Keeping the technical aspect of physics aside, I have to say that Mr Yeo’s explanation of Physics concepts enabled me to obtain an immense love and passion for the subject which I never thought of an interesting in my previous years of studying the subject. Although, I may not pursue this subject further, it’s safe to say that Physics has found a place in my heart.
In order to excel physics, not only is understanding the subject important, but consistent practising and revising is also of utmost importance. Mr Yeo’s motivating presence had led to my class having an environment where individuals were consistently striving themselves to be better than before and this allowed for healthy competition among us, which allowed us to push each other to be better in the subject. Furthermore, there was no lack of extra help and practices outside of class, as Mr Yeo has an arsenal of resources to help us further practice as well as the promise to answer further additional questions we have after we do the extra practices outside of the class. Mr Yeo’s dedication to reply to my messages even in between the many classes he work, or stay back after class to answer some additional bugging questions, even if it eats into his dinner time, just shows how much Mr Yeo really cares for his students and would want to see them succeed.
Even in times of extreme pressure (near exam season), when I would lose the will and motivation to go for class, Mr Yeo’s warm, inviting and jovial persona never failed to put a smile in my face and helped keep my spirits up as well. Speaking about exams, Mr Yeo also had some really exceptional exam strategies that helped not only in physics but also across various subjects. All in all, I would really recommend Mr Yeo as a physics tutor!
Olivia (RI, 2022)
Mr Yeo is an extremely approachable and patient teacher. Whenever I have doubts or queries even outside of lesson time, Mr Yeo always explains and clears any of my misconceptions and allows me to gain a deeper understanding of physics topics. Though I was confused by my school notes, the notes compiled by Mr Yeo were very organised and easy to understand, which allowed me to make connections between important concepts easier. Having multiple rounds of revision for each topic allowed me to regularly practise physics and familiarise myself with the different question types that could be tested. Outside of the notes given, Mr Yeo also shares additional questions for students who wish to practise more. Despite having subpar results in Physics initially, Mr Yeo’s encouraging response allowed me to find joy in learning physics, gain greater confidence and improve my results at the end of the year. Thank you Mr Yeo!
Dora Tan (TJC, 2022)
Mr Yeo's notes are very easy to follow, with salient points highlighted in boxes and digestible, step-by-step explanations that has aided my learning when it comes to formulas and derivations. His worksheets comprise of a healthy mix of standard questions to solidify our foundations, as well as some challenging questions to stimulate us to think deeper. The questions span from quite a number of years, which demonstrates his wealth of experience and conscientiousness to compile a list of varied but nonetheless relevant questions for us. He also puts a lot of effort into coming up with concise answer keys and summaries for us for the practices we have done. During lessons, he motivates us with some light-hearted jokes, constant encouragement and affirmations of our efforts. Even though we may be unresponsive at times, he does not lose patience with us and does not mind recapitulating any topic during our revision period.
Beyond the classroom, Mr Yeo also readily offers his assistance through WhatsApp. Out of goodwill, he even encourages us to ask questions during the days leading up to our actual A levels, be it to ask for question tips, clarify doubts or to simply get a copy of the specimen paper for extra practice. His amazing work ethic is something that has formed an integral part of my appreciation for physics and I am grateful to have been taught by him.
Thank you so much Mr Yeo!
Genevieve Lim (CJC, 2022)
Mr Yeo’s teaching is easy to understand. He explains concept well and in a simplified way that allows me to have a deeper understanding of each topic. On top of that, his notes are also easy to read and consolidate our learning. I particularly like his summary notes for each topic and the several amount of questions he prepared along with it as it really helped me prepare for my A-levels. Mr Yeo is a kind teacher who did not hesitate to give me extra help when I needed it . He helped me print extra resources and answers any questions I had through texts. Mr Yeo’s teaching has allowed me to grasp a better understanding of physics as well as to help me apply hard concepts easily. His exam strategies are extremely useful and allowed to tackle the A level physics paper with much ease. Thank you for your support for the past year without your help I will still view physics as a really complicated and hard subject.
Kylie Bay (RI, 2022)
Mr Yeo is extremely patient and approachable to students, and is always willing to go the extra mile to answer students’ questions, both in class and outside of it. His teaching is always very clear and concise, which really helps students to focus on the key points and understand important concepts quickly. All of the notes and worksheets are painstakingly provided by Mr Yeo, and they are very helpful as they are a compilation of some of the important past-year A-level and/or prelim questions. His pre-exam topical revision is also effective in helping students prepare for ‘A’ levels. Mr Yeo uses funny analogies and acronyms to help students gain a deeper interest in physics, and these acronyms also go a long way in helping students to remember answering techniques and concepts. He’s an extremely dedicated teacher and never fails to ignite my passion for learning physics!
Quek Hui Xin (EJC, 2022)
Mr Yeo is a fantastic teacher. He prepares his students well for examinations by giving practice questions of varying difficulty. The easier questions that he provides serve to help his students understand basic concepts to build a strong foundation, so that students will be able to answer harder questions without needing to have seen them before. He also encourages students to not only do the easier questions, but to try out all of the questions that he provides for additional practice.
The notes given cover all the basic concepts and even additional information that is not needed in our syllabus but could aid our understanding. Summarised revision notes are also provided nearing A-levels for students to check that they know all the required knowledge before sitting for the examination. Consolidated formula lists given are useful for students to refresh their memory before entering the exam hall or to even just for reference while doing practices. Nearing examinations, he will also go through useful strategies. For example, before the practical examinations, we were taught useful tricks to not only save time, but also improve accuracy.
Mr Yeo is very approachable when it comes to asking questions, he never makes his students feel like they are wrong for asking a question. He is patient and does not get angry even when you ask very simple and basic questions. Furthermore, if you ask him personally, he is willing to spend time explaining concepts that are out of syllabus, for your own learning and interest, after making it clear that it is not in syllabus so that students will not get fixated over harder concepts that are unneeded for the exam that they are sitting for. He will always give you his time for extra consults out of lessons, and even his personal time when you ask him questions over text.
He keeps lessons interesting by being fun. He also encourages everyone and acknowledge students that have done a good job in class. Overall, he is a great teacher, and I couldn’t have asked for a better physics teacher.
Khaw Zhi Sin (TMJC, 2022
I joined Mr. Yeo lesson at the start of J2 as I was struggling to pass my promos exam. One thing that really helped me for A-levels was the topical revision lesson where he would revise one topic while also allowing us to practice questions within the 2 hours. The topical summary notes was really concise and focus on commonly tested concept that was actually tested in the A-levels. Mr Yeo is also a very approachable teacher and would often stay after class to clarify student’s doubts, his teaching method is more of providing guidance to students than just giving the students answer.
Kit Min (RI, 2022)
Mr Yeo is a teacher who makes lessons very engaging. To aid in understanding, he often uses acronyms and analogies to help us understand the concepts, which I feel has made learning more enjoyable. The notes he provides are also very concise and helpful in understanding the fundamentals in the A level syllabus. Beyond lesson time, despite his busy schedule, he often goes the extra mile to help clarify any misconceptions or doubts I may have through Whatsapp.
Mr Yeo is a truly dedicated and encouraging teacher and I am thankful to have had him as my teacher!
Lumiere Chew (NYJC, 2022)
Mr Yeo is a very dedicated teacher who knows his material well. His notes are very concise and easy to comprehend. In class, Mr Yeo stresses on key concepts and FAQs by highlighting them in his revision notes, which is extremely helpful for revision. He also provides plenty of extra resources upon request (such as topical packages which were collated by him). He is a very helpful and encouraging teacher who makes Physics much more fun and engaging as he shares interesting trivia about the subject during lessons. Mr Yeo is one of the rare few teachers who I don’t feel afraid to pose questions to as he is very open to ideas and questions. He always encourages us to text him our questions should we have any qualms regarding them and this has made Physics much less of a struggle and much more enjoying to study! Thank you Mr Yeo :-)
Harshen Koban (RI, 2022)
Throughout my learning experience with Mr Yeo, I have definitely learned many new concepts and he has helped me to have a deeper understanding of the various topics in the syllabus.

Mr Yeo is able to engage the class and never fails to look out and care for his students. He makes sure that every student has fully understood what he has taught before moving on. He is a very understanding person and checks on his student’s well being all the time.
As a whole, Mr Yeo is a complete and highly experienced teacher who is able to engage his students well during his lessons and is able to bring across important ideas that are essential for the A levels. He has definitely helped to better my physics.
Ian Tan (TJC, 2022)
Mr Yeo has been an extremely pleasant and helpful teacher this past year. He has a unique teaching style driven by his passion for physics which makes his quirky teaching methods easy to follow and absorb without ever feeling bored. He provides us with detailed notes and substantiates it with his own additional knowledge based on the syllabus and it has been of utmost importance in all of my revision. Despite knowing about my continuous failures in physics, he never once looked down on me and always encouraged me to do my best and reignited my passion for the subject. Never once has he judged me based on my physics results and always made an effort to check up on my wellbeing and personal interests to get to know me better as a person which I really appreciated. He also offered quick replies to all my queries online and provided us with tons of practice materials and useful exam strategies such as pointing out the question types that are most commonly tested in the A levels. I have learnt so much from him despite only being taught by him this year and I would highly recommend my juniors and others to attend his lessons in order to enjoy an enriching and entertaining way of learning physics. Thanks for everything you have done for me and the class Mr Yeo we will always remember and cherish the time we had learning more about physics with you!
Josh Kuan Yi Wei (VJC, 2022)
Mr. Yeo is very approachable which encourages me to clarify my doubts with him. Hours leading towards the A-level paper, he actively helped me clear up last-minute queries via text. He is also very patient in explaining difficult concepts to confused students. He is also very friendly and cheerful, making boring and mundane lessons more entertaining and keeping me energized especially when I was tired.
During lessons, he would teach at a reasonable pace for the class and would re-explain concepts that were important and commonly misunderstood. He puts a lot of effort into making his notes concise for me to understand the topic easier, as well as collating past year's prelim and A-level questions that he finds useful for students to try. He shows YouTube videos in class which help us visualize and understand the concepts better. At the end of the teaching, he would also provide 3 mins for students to internalize the content that was just taught and clarify any doubts.

Mr Yeo is not one of the best physics tutors out there, he IS the best anyone can get! He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of all topics, even those outside the H2 syllabus, but most importantly, he is very humble and patient, and his lively spirit when teaching has made physics my favourite subject, and I am now inspired to learn outside of exams.
His notes and revision worksheets are one of a kind, and caters specifically to A-level exams. He accurately highlights things that Cambridge love to test, and true enough whatever he said came true in 2022 A Levels. He is very prompt in replying to any queries I have, and I cannot emphasise enough how useful yet concise his notes and formula sheets are.
Part of me wishes to take A Levels again just to attend Mr Yeo's class one more time. Truly an amazing teacher who somehow manages to cater to every student’s needs despite it being a group tuition.
Jasper Lee (RI, 2022)
Mr Yeo is a cordial and caring tutor who always teaches with great passion and interest in Physics. Every lesson is supplemented with comprehensive lecture notes that include background information as well as clear explanations, making the new concept easier to grasp. Since Physics can be abstract and very conceptual, Mr Yeo’s tutorial worksheets consist of many different questions that reinforce fundamental concepts and also have higher order application and thinking questions to train students how to apply the basic knowledge and skills learnt. The revision notes provided during the J2 revision programme are very concise and easy to understand with all the key points that the examiners are looking for, highlighted and emphasized. This helps make revision a smoother process because Mr Yeo’s notes are like an “all-in-one crash course”. Alongside many extra MCQ and open ended questions Mr Yeo is willing to share, he answers our questions, pertaining to his worksheets or our personal school questions, outside of class with ample explanation, promptly.
Mr Yeo shares with us many tips and tricks on how we can grasp concepts better and how to identify what the question is asking for, making our answers more accurate and precise. The way Mr Yeo conducts his lessons inspired me to take a greater interest in Physics because he himself is excited to share his knowledge of the subject. Being a patient and meticulous tutor, Mr Yeo has no doubt helped me to understand Physics better and helped my grades improve over time. Along the way, Mr Yeo also shares certain FAQs and advice for the practical exam and indicates which topics may be tested for the planning component in paper 4 and what set-ups to look out for. All in all, Mr Yeo is a very friendly and approachable tutor whose passion for Physics radiates when he conducts his lessons.
Jolin Yau (EJC, 2022)
Mr Yeo's lessons were a lifesaver :). Even though I only joined in the middle of J2 I gained a lot from his lessons and did not find it very difficult to catch up. His notes are constantly revised according to Cambridge requirements and they are extremely helpful in my learning of the subject. Topics I used to struggle with seemed a lot clearer to me with his help.
His teaching style is very effective and makes the subject really fun and interesting! I've gained a new sense of appreciation for Physics after attending his lessons. He is also really patient and reassuring, which encourages me to ask question even if I was not one to do so in school. Beyond teaching the content, Mr Yeo also has many useful exam strategies to share with his students which makes revision so much less of a headache as we know which are the important focus points. Overall really glad that I joined and had him as a teacher. Wished I joined earlier XD

Kalent Chia (HCI, 2021)
I am very glad to have Mr Yeo as my Physics tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable in the subject and can recall the concepts with ease. He answered all of my queries that spanned multiple topics on the spot which left me very impressed. While I was weak in some areas, Mr Yeo constantly encouraged me to work harder and gave me confidence that I could obtain my desired mark. That’s why I am very grateful that I could consult him for help even beyond tuition hours, where he was still replying to my messages at 10pm! Beyond his constant availability, I also appreciate the amount of effort he invests into lesson, where he is very cheerful and motivating in his teaching. I would like to talk about his HUGE range of notes ,conceptual summaries and worksheets: they are really useful and concise in serving as checkpoints for gauging my understanding in a certain topic. I rate Mr Yeo a 5/5 and I think anyone will be very blessed to have him as a teacher.
Kelly Pang (RI, 2021)
Mr Yeo is a teacher well versed in key concepts of physics and commonly tested questions and is able to understand and help students' common struggles in terms of conceptual understanding or in the subject in general. He is often able to explain hard concepts in a very detailed and understandable manner. He offers a wide array of materials including lecture notes, summary notes , and various forms of practice worksheets and test papers. A very approachable teacher, Mr Yeo is always willing to answer his students' questions and queries. He provides quick replies and is often able to explain and answer our questions through texts. If students are still unable to understand he offers to explain again after lessons, or to arrange for a consultation session. Last but not least, Mr Yeo is an enthusiastic teacher who instills a love for learning in all of his students.
MEHTA RIYA MEHULBHAI (VJC, 2021)
Mr. Yeo is really a proficient and hardworking teacher. He works hard in compiling our notes and making sure to source for the relevant details . The bulk of his notes are focused on relevant details and this shows how much time he has set aside so as to make sure the notes are quality. In addition, he also compiles difficult past year alevel qns and is able to teach us and gets the concepts across easily. He is eloquent and is able to keep us engaged and more importantly encouraged in his lessons. COVID has thrown many obstacles at us, but our learning hasn’t been at all compromised, regardless online or offline. We are happy to have a teacher who is both knowledgeable and able to explain things well.
He is extremely resourceful, not only does he have only the relevant bits in the notes (digging deep to find the most important and preferred answers to definition qns in Cambridge papers), but he is also able to source for qns of a wide variety. The tutorials are in a designated order, ranging from fundamental to mastery qns. He also provides past year Cambridge paper qns pertaining to that topic as a form of a satisfactory wrap up to our learning of that topic. Our learning materials are very structured in that we are able to have basic checkpoints to check our understanding, before undergoing rigorous training for difficult qns. All in all, he is very resourceful!
Mr. Yeo is the most approachable teacher I have met. Normally, we would have some reservations towards frequently texting our Teachers to reply our qns, but Mr. Yeo is an exception. He is the one teacher I can count on during the most urgent times (last min before major exams), especially when my school teacher tends to be too preoccupied with the other students. Mr. Yeo will always be ready with a prompt reply, no matter how long the qn may be. If we are not able to understand the solution in the answer key, he would also send us detailed working and would never give up on us and encourage us to overcome all odds.
Motivation is one defining trait of Mr. Yeo. His classes are what I tend to always look forward to the most because of the environment of healthy competition he has set up in class. When we get an answer correct, he gives us verbal acknowledgment, saying things like “you have potential” or “well done” small things like these forms of appreciation fuels my enthusiasm and makes me a lot my accepting towards even the most difficult qns.
One thing about Mr. Yeo is that you can always count on him to go the extra mile to help you regardless of the time and space. You don’t need to be within the four walls of the classroom to get help from Mr. Yeo. You can always WhatsApp him with the assurance that he promptly replies with satisfactory answers. Mr. Yeo is the most dependable teacher ever and we could always choose to rely on him for help without any sense of hesitation.
Teo Yong Kang (ACJC, 2021)
Mr Daniel Yeo is wonderful teacher who takes the time and effort to ensure his students understand the relevant concepts required to ace their examinations. He is patient while teaching, letting everyone move together for that no one is left behind. His love for Physics can be seen through the handcrafted comprehensive notes and worksheets that he creates for his students which range across multiple difficulty levels from novice to expert. Additionally, he complies questions from the recent prelim papers for each topic for extra self-practice and revision. He loves teaching the subject and engages his classes through multiple forms including showing science videos and doing physical demonstrations with science apparatus live. Despite the uncertainty of the current times due to the pandemic, Mr Yeo makes the effort to ensure that all his classes are still just as engaging online. Beyond the lesson, Mr Yeo remains always contactable through WhatsApp and he works out his responses to any Physics questions sent over, and hosts individual consultations over Zoom when needed. Aside from Physics, Mr Yeo encourages and motivates his students to excel in life and is always open to discussions on issues that are not academic related as well, developing a closely knitted relationship with all his students in the process. A teacher’s goal is to equip students with the know-how on how to be successful in the future, and the emphasis on the process of learning rather than the grades is what makes Mr Yeo such a good teacher and highly recommended as a great Physics tutor for anyone regardless of aptitude.
Ooi En Jie (NYJC, 2021)
Good Morning Mr Yeo, the paragraph below is the write up you requested on your teaching!
Mr Yeo has always been one of my favourite physics teachers. With immense experience, coupled together with his invaluable knowledge and comprehensive but concise notes, he has certainly made Physics a breeze for me to learn. The concise, yet comprehensive notes have always served me well during my school examination, allowing me to outperform my peers easily. Mr Yeo, since the first day I've joined his class, is an extremely cheerful, charismatic, yet analytical teacher who consistently challenges us to think out of the box in a fun yet somehow invigorating way every time. He consistently gives us feedback about our work, together with constant encouragement so as to motivate us in our learning of Physics, which he understands is no easy feat. Apart from the immense support given to us during class, Mr Daniel also has taken additional effort to have optional consultation slots with us outside of class, together with round the clock online support for us, should we have any physics questions. His actions have certainly complimented my school's teaching pedagogy and with his unique charisma, together with his abilities is what I personally feel make him the best Physics teacher.
Clement Chim (EJC, 2021)
Mr Yeo has been an excellent teacher, his interest and passion for physics is really contagious and have helped me discover my own motivation and passion for physics. Mr yeo knows the A level syllabus like the back of his hand, he teaches by explaining the thought processes and techniques to tackle all questions. Mr yeo's notes also include visual illustrations for students to grasp the concepts and how these concepts can be applied. The summary guides Mr yeo has are also very substantial and is an amazing help for revising concepts and derivations. Mr yeo is also an approachable teacher where students are not afraid to ask questions and clarify doubts. Personally, Mr yeo has really changed the way I see learning, he encourages learning through understanding. He breaks down concepts through definitions allowing students to go back to the definitions and be able to fully grasp the concepts. Whenever I have queries in my school work or need help with revision, Mr yeo has always been there to provide his help and support. I am extremely grateful for Mr yeo's teaching and encouragement.
Ching Shuen (RI, 2021)
You are one of the most devoted teachers I've had, and have helped me tremendously in grasping new concepts - which I've always struggled with before joining tuition. I remember being a bit intimidated by the new environment on my first day at tuition, but was able to adjust quickly since you were so welcoming! I'm also very grateful that you always made sure that I got the answer to my questions, even if it meant taking up more of your personal time: from the consultations on zoom to Q&As on whatsapp. I also find that your lessons have been very engaging and interactive, and you made sure that all of your students could keep up with the lesson pace. I have truly benefited a lot from your lessons, and found your materials very useful as well - which is also why I referred my friends Kym and Cindy to your tuition class. In all, I find that you are a really genuine and competent tutor/mentor. Thank you :)
Besides that, Mr Yeo’s dedicated and friendly personality allowed me to approach him for consultations to clarify any doubts I had.
I am thankful and grateful for Mr Yeo for being such a caring teacher and allowing me to achieve my desired grades for my A levels.

Tan Yi Zhen (MJC, 2018, scored A)
Firstly, I came in end of J1 with a ‘U’ in Physics and jumped to an A through Mr Daniel Yeo.
I cannot thank him enough, partially because I didn’t like the subject due to its rigour. However, Mr Yeo’s style of teaching was moderately paced such that challenges faced made me improve rather than give up. He is very approachable and patient, I would add on, hardworking as well in regards to helping his students in grasping concepts and applying them. Knowing that visual aids helped his students, he would show us videos, draw graphs, use analogies (quite funny for me) do whatever he can to make sure we understand.
Working with Mr Yeo, definitely will see a change.

Denise Lam (NJC, 2018, scored A)
Thank you, I did well in my A Levels, and I think it’s very fitting to thank you for everything, seeing as how my Physics did make drastic improvements after attending your lessons :)
I owe much to the notes that you wrote and the tutorial exercises that you provided. It was almost all I referred to for revision and practice in the lead up to the A Levels and I’m not over exaggerating when I say that it really saved my grades.
Especially helpful was the final compilation of notes of every chapter that we were given in the final months before As. The MCQ questions really helped me identify my misconceptions and pointed out trick questions and pitfalls in every chapter. That boosted my confidence and understanding significantly.
Also thank you for answering my barrage of questions at odd hours. I asked a lot of pretty stupid questions and thank you for taking the time to explain each and every one of them till I understood all my mistakes.
Thanks for everything Mr Daniel Yeo!

My physics grade jumped from an E to an A (A-Level) in 5 month! I could not even believe it myself.
I tried so many methods and worked so hard to improve my grades. I finished the 1000 MCQs in a month but that didn’t help as I could not figure out the confusions I had. I then turned to Mr. Daniel Yeo for help when I was halfway through JC2. I would practice Mr. Yeo’s materials and he is also very kind to answer all the questions I had. I didn’t even need my school’s notes anymore. I could just refer to Mr. Yeo’s materials and score an A.
Mr. Yeo, thank you so much. You are the best Physics teacher I have ever had!

Mr Yeo constantly updates himself with new A-level contents making him a truly A-level specialist. Mr Yeo is a a very kind teacher who never resorts to scolding to maintain class order or get one to study. Instead, the quality of teaching and promise of better results motivate the students to listen attentively. Mr Yeo's concise notes and ample practice has allowed me to survive school exams with ease even without listening in school lectures. He is an understanding teacher who can push a weak student to his greatest potential and a strong student to continue scoring.
It was definitely a fun and essential learning experience which I will miss.
Ameline Goh (HCI, 2017, scored A)
Mr Yeo has been a really good Physics teacher and I feel really blessed to have him as my teacher. From having many years of experience of teaching Physics in various JCs and now in Learners' Lodge, he has an immense wealth of knowledge about Physics, the various question types and answering techniques, and yet despite that always strive to keep up with this knowledge, especially with the new syllabus in place. He often shares his depth of knowledge of the Cambridge syllabus with us, making appropriate links to them where necessary, and introduces us to interesting and relevant Physics videos to help us gain a deeper understanding of the subject as well as fuel our interest in the subject. His lessons are always really engaging and I've really managed to understand Physics a lot better after his lessons, particularly with his clear and concise teachings. He never fails to make difficult concepts seem easy to grasp, which is something I really like about his lessons. The lesson notes and extra worksheets he gives us are extremely useful as well, and I find that they are at times even clearer that the lecture notes from school and helps me gain a more in-depth understanding of the concepts and skills in approaching the various question types. His lesson plans are also very well planned and organised, making sure we are equipped with the knowledge and skills to answer questions from all the various topics, as well as incorporating lessons on Planning and teaching us practical skills where appropriate which I have to come find very useful.
In addition, he constantly seeks feedback from students about the teaching style which would be the most suited for them and they would prefer, which has helped me to consolidate what I've learnt from his lessons better, as well as grow greater confidence in approaching the various questions.
I have grown to like Physics a lot, thanks to Mr Yeo!
His dedication and guidance really motivates me to work harder and strive to do my best. Beyond just Physics lessons, he is extremely encouraging, always motivating me and believing in me when I doubt my capabilities. He also strive to get to know his students better on a more personal level as well as extends great care and concern for their well-being. I cannot be more thankful for him, for all the times Mr Yeo had to stay back till rather late beyond our 7-9 pm tuition class to answer my questions as well as of other students.
He is highly dedicated and capable teacher that wants the best for his students and is willing to go out of his way to teach and help his students as well as care for them as individuals.
Thank you, Mr Yeo!
Caleb Chia (CJC, 2017, scored B)
I really want to to thank Mr Yeo from the bottom of my heart for the countless hours and immeasurable efforts he puts into every lesson and every student. I was apprehensive about the idea of having tuition when my Dad first brought it up. However, after the trial lesson, I found the lesson really insightful and helpful. Lessons conducted are always informative and direct, whatever that is required of our understanding is explicitly stated in each topic overview. Moreover, Mr Yeo takes the extra mile to input videos to help visual learners line me to understand complex concepts via QR codes, it ameliorates our process of self-directed learning outside the classroom as the videos are so easily accessible when we it to refresh our understanding of concepts.
On top quality lessons, Mr. Yeo's notes are simple yet concise that aids in our understanding of the topics. The practice questions after every topic really target the salient concepts that each topic requires us to be masterful at. There are also challenging questions that really allow us to dig deeper into our understanding of the concepts After letting us try out the questions, he will write down the steps on how to approach the question systematically and the pertinent concepts that are required to be understood when attempting that question and personally I really appreciated that as it enlightens those who are clueless about how to approach the question.
Mr. Yeo came off as a stern and boring teacher on the first impression, however, he was the complete opposite as I got to know him throughout the course of 1.5 years. Mr. Yeo exudes passion and dedication in everything he does. He goes beyond teaching the subject and immersed himself and the class in appreciating the subject and seeing the beauty of physics. He is really really approachable and this is coming from a guy who is rather shy and is always filled with questions. He values every question asked.
Overall, the experience with Mr Yeo has really been very beneficial and enriching and I'm really thankful for the efforts Mr Yeo has put in. Thanks, Mr Yeo!

Mr Yeo is a dedicated and sincere teacher who puts keen effort in his explanation. His concise physics notes and effective drilling practices are just some of the areas I have benefited from.
Sandy Woon (ACJC, 2015, scored A)
Physics has always been an elusive subject to me. Contrary to popular opinion where “you just got to understand how it works and everything will just flow from there”, my 2 year H2 physics journey has honestly proven otherwise. Up till my promotional exams in J1 I still did not know exactly what was going on in class. Every single time I tried to apply the concepts taught after an intensive self-study session or sitting through a lecture with my ears pricked up, I would ALWAYS end up at this point where the answer to the question defies my train of thought. Disappointment ensues and the interest in physics dwindles with my self-confidence. They say reward correlates with the amount of effort put in, but to me, it has never been that way.
I was completely defeated by the subject. I loathed every single bit of it. I even considered retaining just so I could change my subject combination. Because to me, hard work never pays off in this subject. If you were to tell me that I would eventually come to score an A in the A-Levels, in no way would I have believed you. I have never gotten anywhere above a ‘D’, let alone a distinction. Desperate, I consulted this “super physics tutor” who swears by his “condensed yet concise notes”, “step-by-step teaching methods” and more importantly a “93% distinction”. Surprisingly, it did not work for me AT ALL. To each his own, I suppose. His methods aren’t as effective for people like me who requires explaining-all-over-again whenever there is a lapse in my application, nor do his one-page summaries which were supposed to prompt a jolt in memory and bring the student back to the concepts taught in tuition class. I hit rock-bottom when after 6 months of tuition I still could not sit through a test without doubting every single answer I wrote after preparing so hard. Of course, I failed them all. I left the center after promos.
Miraculously, I managed to promote. In J2, a while after school re-opened, a close friend of mind introduced me to Mr Yeo, citing him for his tremendous patience and exuberance. I joined, NEVER to expect the change this teacher was about to bring to my life. You see, at that time, my self-confidence was in shambles; so is my attitude towards learning physics. I still remember the fateful Wednesday evening when I first met him. He walked in to the classroom, greeted me and asked about my results. I told him that I honestly did not think it will get any better and I will just resign to fate. He laughed, told me that everything will be fine, and that he is always there whenever I need help.
He is so much more than someone whose duty is to explain theories to a bunch of eager-eyed students and making sure they internalize them. What sets him apart from the rest is that he GENUINELY cares about the well-being of each and every student. He was always there when I needed help. He believed in me when I all I could do was to doubt myself. He took the time to care, and not only that, he made sure that I KNEW he cared. Not only was he good at teaching and explaining physics (not to mention his all-rounded comprehensive notes), he was good at the personality he reflected – inspiring, motivated, passionate. That, honestly, made all the difference.
I hate to sound all cheesy and corny but I would not be where I am now if not for Mr Daniel Yeo. They say whenever God shuts a door, somewhere he opens another window. For me, god shut ALL the doors and left a window open which I am so tremendously lucky to have chanced upon during the darkest hours of my JC life. Thank you Mr Yeo, not only for the A, but more importantly for what you have inspired me as a person. You will always remain my role model.

My first encounter with Mr Yeo was during a school lesson when he was a relieving for our usual teacher, and I remembered that he really cleared up many of my misconceptions of gravitation. His biggest strength as a physics teacher is his ability to break down difficult or complex questions into manageable bites that really helped me to get a clearer picture on how to go about tackling questions. His revision worksheets are also detailed yet concise, and he provides Cambridge answers that help you to really develop a knack for answering in Cambridge style (which is really important). In addition to his excellent teaching, he also goes the extra mile to talk to students during lessons and enquire about any difficulties they may be facing, as well as to answer questions on WhatsApp which is really convenient for us students. He also inserts quirky jokes or phrases to either lighten up the mood or to help us remember certain key phrases more clearly. All in all, I certainly am glad that I signed up for his class because he is really what you would call an all round teacher. If you are like me and struggling with physics due to misconceptions or just cannot wrap your head around the concepts, then Mr Yeo's classes are the perfect remedy for your woes!

Tan Yan Yi (SAJC, 2015, scored A)
Like every good teacher, Mr Yeo knows his stuff really well. But besides that, he teaches concepts in a way that is really easy to understand and apply. I was struggling with Physics (getting U grade for 3 straight exams) until I decided to go for tuition. The way Mr Yeo teaches is much easier to digest and I begin to see physics from a different angle and got a C for my promos followed by B for my prelims. In addition, he is always very patient even if we take a little longer to understand a concept and most importantly, he is always very encouraging which boosts the confidence of his students.
Confidence isn't something to be taken lightly because going into the exam hall doubting your own capabilities won't help at all. Finally, his passion for teaching is really commendable. He would teach for 9-10 hours a day and still be full of energy in his last lesson! I'm really thankful for the efforts put in by him and it has definitely helped me greatly.
Thank you for everything Mr Yeo!! I do mean every word I said above. Here's wishing you will continue having many, many years of successful career :) God bless!

Mr Yeo is not only a teacher, but also a friend to all his students. His constant encouragement, as well as his willingness to answer any queries, made him a most approachable teacher. The effort Mr Yeo puts into his notes and lessons are evident, and he constantly seeks to improve and better his materials so as to benefit students more. Being a consistent U student for Physics, I did not hope for much when I first entered Mr Yeo's class.
However, as he imparted both his knowledge and skills, Physics, a previously insurmountable obstacle, now became manageable. My grades improved dramatically within a short span of time, and I was able to jump to a C in the next examination after I first began lessons. With Mr Yeo's lessons, I also grew to appreciate Physics more as a subject, and found joy in learning about it and its applications.
I believe what was most inspiring was how Mr Yeo not only sought to help us achieve an A for Physics, but also, to make it a more enjoyable journey for us and remind us of the joy of learning.

This is only possible due to Mr Yeo's infectious passion and love for Physics, making me love the subject which in turn allowed me to enjoy studying it. Being a student of Mr Yeo has been a blessing to me. For without it, I would not have been able to understand the many difficult concepts in Physics, much less enjoy it.
Xin Yee (A for Physics, 2014, CJC)
At the start of my journey in JC, I found it hard to understand the concepts in Physics and I struggled with it in term 1 of my first year. However, after I joined Mr Yeo’s class, I then started to understand how Physics works and was better able to link the concepts together.
Not only are his notes clear and comprehensive, he also makes the lessons interesting and goes straight to what we are required to understand in our syllabus. He would show videos at times which I found it to be very useful and would enable us to visualise better. After attending Mr Yeo’s lessons, I always find topics which were previously very confusing to be actually easy to understand. He does not just teach the concepts, he also explain how they come about which I think is very essential in the study of physics.
Furthermore, Mr Yeo is also a very dedicated teacher who is always willing to go the extra mile just to make sure that his students understand what he said. He does not hesitate to offer his help even after class when we have questions to clarify.
To me, Mr Yeo is definitely one of the best teachers I have ever known. I am truly grateful for his patience and guidance throughout my journey in JC. I enjoyed and learnt a lot from his lessons and I believe that everyone in his class will also benefit from his teaching.
Jonathon Phua (straight As, 2013, HCI)
Mr Yeo is one of the best teachers I have known. He is a very dedicated and experienced teacher, who often stays behind after class to explain the tough physics concepts to me. Before joining Mr Yeo’s class, I was very confused with the complex concepts and ideas behind those topics taught in H2 Physics. Mr Yeo is able to break down these complicated concepts and explain them in a simplified manner which makes learning Physics much easier and less arduous.
Mr Yeo is a dedicated teacher who does not hesitate to stay behind after every lesson to explain the Physics concepts behind every equation and Physics law. As a slow learner, I really appreciate his help and dedication. He takes great care to answer each and every of our doubts in detail, and does not mind explaining certain concepts over and over again until we understood everything.
I found his summarized notes extremely helpful, with all the essential concepts, equations and definitions neatly presented in bite-sized pieces which is much easier to digest. They come in handy before major tests and examinations where time is of the essence, making my learning journey much more enjoyable. My Physics journey is akin to a marathon, and Mr Yeo served as a great coach, helping me up when I fall, cheering me on when I needed them most, and assisting me to overcome any hurdles that I faced. I am really thankful to have him as my Physics tutor, who is an exceptional teacher and an excellent mentor.

Jessica Goh (Straight As, 2012, DHS)
I joined Mr Yeo’s physics class just 3 months before the A Levels. Back then, I had many misconceptions and loopholes in my knowledge, which made studying physics tough. However, his comprehensive revision notes provided me with a concise summary of the main learning points for each topic. In addition, the practice questions that he conscientiously compiled gave me lots of exposure to different question contexts and tested whether my fundamentals were grounded.
I vividly remembered one of his lessons in which I struggled with a difficult question and soon become frustrated. Mr Yeo did not rush into explaining the answer straight away, but instead advised me to understand and appreciate the physics concepts behind the question before systematically taking me through the thought process to arrive at the answer. Since then, carrying this mentality has aided me in staying calm when faced with atypical questions during the prelims and A Levels. I was then able to analyse the information given in the question and think of relevant physics concepts to craft my answers. Notwithstanding that, Mr Yeo was able to demonstrate the occasional diagrams and experimental equipment in physics questions which greatly enhanced my visualisation of physical processes.
Within a short span of time, I improved significantly from my mediocre grades to eventually an A in the A Levels.
Mr Yeo’s passion for physics and dedication to teaching is indeed infectious, and I am really grateful to have him as my tutor!
Lee Jun Tang (Physics A, 2012, VJC)
Mr Yeo is definitely one of the best teachers I have known. He is a very experienced and approachable teacher. He prepares his own notes for all his chapters which are exam-oriented, and are more comprehensive than the lecture notes in school. He is always able to explain the concepts thoroughly and is always ready to clear our doubts. He is also humorous in his lessons, making his teaching lively and interesting. Grasping the concepts was much easier through Mr Yeo's help, as he could explain them in a simple way, with illustrations using real life examples.
Most importantly, he has many short cuts that are extremely useful to apply during examinations.
Mr Yeo is indeed a tutor whom I highly recommend.

I joined Mr Yeo's revision class about 6 months before the A level examinations, his lessons revolve mainly around practice questions, which are very helpful. In addition, he encourages us to share our misconceptions and weaknesses with the class before clarifying them, this allowed me to learn what mistakes people tend to make and learn from them as well.
Mr Yeo made physics very interesting as he always linked concepts to real world applications which are not seen in school notes. More importantly, like all good teachers, Mr Yeo has a great passion for physics, which influenced me to like it as well. The lesson pace is also very suited for all students as he would help the weaker students and push the stronger ones to improve further. His commitment to teach also shows when he stays back after each lesson to listen to our questions.
He definitely helped me in this subject by imparting both his knowledge and passion for physics to me. Thank you Mr Yeo!

Truth be told, I find it hard to exactly describe what I feel about him, and who he is.
When I first met him, I was very impressed with the way he portrayed himself. It felt more like the definition of a 'True Teacher' I rarely saw in my school life. He was very sharing, kind, understanding, but most of all engaging. As time went by until we had to part ways, I only felt my time spent with him enriching….He will ensure that you do understand what he is teaching. He will ask you to clarify your understanding, and ask for you to even pose tough questions to him for your learning that both of you can work together to success. However, what is more amazing is his character and personality, which only fuels my respect for him further. His passion for teaching truly has led him to being a private tutor, as he has given up a great many things to pursue his desire to teach physics (please, if you do wish to ask him about his life story, proceed at your own discretion, but I will not elaborate on what details surround his life). His engagement with me has been fruitful as he imparts nuggets of wisdom, to both life and studies (namely physics), such as maintaining consistency and placing great effort.
He is also very easygoing, lighthearted, and humorous. Furthermore, I know he will not say this of himself, but I say he is a very humble, kind and caring man.
Through my two years with Mr Yeo, I was very happy to be working with him. He provided excellent material and made sure that what he taught could be assimilated into my brain, and even went further so as to encourage me and my fellow peers in class. Throughout my entire two years of working with Mr Yeo, I can say with conviction that I have enjoyed every step of it; from when I felt down in physics, to when I felt great about my scores.

I was taught by Mr Yeo for only 2 months just before my A level examinations, but I daresay that he has managed to change my perception of physics in this short span of time. Initially, Physics was one of the toughest subjects that I had to grapple with, and I was quite disheartened as my A level examinations were approaching. However, Mr Yeo never failed to clarify my doubts and he would often further question me on certain concepts to ensure that I had a solid foundation. Sufficient worksheets were provided every lesson, and these practices were very helpful as they were often timed and there was a combination of both easy and challenging questions. I began to enjoy Physics and I became confident of getting an A for Physics.
Mr Yeo is a very dedicated teacher and I will remember him as the tutor who went the extra mile to clarify my doubts over the phone just the day before my physics exam, and he would even send me extra worksheets for practice whenever I requested. Mr Yeo is a very experienced and interesting tutor, and I am certain that other students will benefit greatly from his lessons too!

Mr Daniel Yeo is a caring and approachable teacher who is very passionate about physics. He is willing to stay back after classes to clarify anything we may not understand and his love for the subject is contagious as I find myself appreciating the subject more and more which allows me to excel in the subject even further.
Mr Yeo is able to clearly explain concepts which seem difficult. However, with his simplified explanations, it is better understood by fellow students and I. His immense experience also gives him an edge as a better teacher as he is able to answer all sorts of questions that span across the entire syllabus.
Learning materials given by Mr Yeo are also very comprehensive and include a large variety of questions. They include both specific questions and integrated questions across various topics which allows us to be much better prepared for our examinations.
Kristle (2009, NYJC) Physics - 'A'
Despite being under his guidance for less than a year, Mr. Yeo has definitely left his mark on me by proving himself to be a passionate, genuine and warm teacher. He is one who truly cares about his students and is undoubtedly absolutely fervent about Physics, judging by the way he never ceases to marvel at the subject.
Being one who was initially rather discouraged by the subject, Mr. Yeo’s continuous encouragement and consistently clear explanation opened up the door to a whole new realm of learning for me and has helped me not look upon studying Physics as a chore, but as a means of better understanding this amazing world we live in. He channels his zeal and zest for the subject into his teaching and it has rubbed off onto me, and I am certain, onto many of his students as well.
A teacher to me is one who inspires and encourages his students to consistently question and to pursue new knowledge. Mr. Yeo is the perfect embodiment of a teacher and from the scores of tutors that I have had throughout my entire learning life, he sits right at the top and is someone whom I will always remember for the rest of my life. He has left an indelible mark in my learning life and has earned my admiration for his commitment and dedication for everything he has done.
To teach is to touch lives forever. You have touched mine, Mr. Yeo, and I hope you continue touching the lives of many others.

Mr Yeo is a dedicated and inspiring tutor with an avid passion in teaching. Lessons with him are not just sessions after sessions of intense preparation for the A levels, but also wonderful learning journeys where I grew to have an appreciation for Physics.
Initially, I was disheartened as I did poorly in Physics and wanted to give up. However, Mr Yeo encouraged me to ask questions and clarify my concepts. This rekindled my enthusiasm for Physics and I became a more motivated learner. Under Mr Yeo’s guidance, I could not only see the improvement in my Physics grades, but in other subjects as well, as I learnt to treat them with the same positive attitude. Besides helping his students to excel academically, Mr Yeo also inspires them to find their direction in life. He is truly a great teacher.
And once again thank you for having been such a great Physics tutor! I could not have gotten the A without you!
Andrew Lee (2004, RJC) straight A's (Law, NUS)
William Arthur Ward once said: “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” Mr. Yeo is certainly a great teacher. Not once did he ever give up when I could not grasp some concepts, on the contrary, he would double his efforts to ensure I had all doubts cleared usually at the expense of his own time. Through his teaching I learnt an important life lesson, that is, to succeed in anything, one must grasp the basics firmly, have a solid foundation and from there scale the heights of our potential. Not only did he transform my average physics grade to an A, he inspired me to fulfill my personal potential in physics.
Mr. Yeo is truly a magical teacher, a teacher who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next peak!

Mr Yeo played a pivotal role in my A-level examination, helping me to achieve an 'A' for physics and a Distinction in my physics Special Paper. I remembered doing poorly in physics because I was unable to grasp the concepts well, but what Mr. Yeo did for me was to break them down into simple comprehensible components, and ensured that my fundamentals were strong before gradually building on them.
I am sure many will appreciate Mr. Yeo's patience and effectiveness in explaining the difficult physics concepts!

I think to most people, the A-level is probably one of the most trying period in their lives. There are undoubtedly many subjects to cope with, and of course goals (results) to achieve and this was the same for me. I am glad that during that period, I had help from Mr. Yeo, and I know that I made the right choice in his classes.
Mr. Yeo is a dedicated tutor who engages the students during lesson. His clear and detailed style of teaching physics proved to be very effective for me, and made me appreciate physics and subsequently I went on to do well in the A-level examination.
Mr. Yeo is not just another tutor but one who really cares for his students. I remember clearly that he would come half an hour early for lesson so that we could consult him on specific areas that we were unsure about. His lesson not only includes tutoring but also a whole range of supporting notes and papers which was very useful, and Mr. Yeo would make use of these resources to reinforce the teaching.
I have benefited greatly from his lessons and believe that he has the same to offer to other students as well.
Koo Chieh Shen (2004, ACJC) straight A's (Dentistry, NUS)
Learning physics under Mr Yeo was a remarkable experience. He taught me how to understand the subject and love it, before eventually moving on to conquer it! With his sheer commitment to the subject, it is with grace that he patiently delivers the most direct of facts in a manner worth learning. Mr. Yeo imbued me the ability to be focused and disciplined in all aspects. His emphasis on a good foundation and his systematic approach of teaching allowed me to rationalize and simplify problem instead of simply reaching for the solution.
Mr. Yeo has a deft touch and a keen eye for the subject, but most importantly it is his care and concern for the student that makes him endearing to me.
Chng Koh Lin Colin (2006, SRJC) straight A's (Medicine, Australia)
The style of teaching that Mr. Yeo demonstrates is a unique one indeed. Quite often, he would use demonstrations to generate interest among his students and explain the relevant concepts involved. Many of us look forward to attending his interesting and enriching lessons. In addition, he is always glad to answer any physics questions.
Physics used to be my least favorite subject. However, learning with Mr. Yeo has made me relish this thought provoking subject. It was definitely a blessing to have him as my physics tutor.
Aarti Khemlani (2006, SRJC)'A' for physics (double degree, NUS)
One of the most memorable lessons I have attended in my life was a physics lesson in which the lecturer, Mr. Yeo, asked for a well-built volunteer to blow a ping pong ball out of a funnel via a tube connected to the funnel's stem. A straightforward task one might presume, yet, try as the volunteer might, the ping pong ball refused to budge. The lecturer topped the performance off by turning funnel upside down, blowing into the tube and watching everyone's jaw drop as the ping pong ball defied both gravity and common sense by sticking to the funnel. Throughout the rest of the lecture the lecturer explained to a riveted audience the logic and physics behind the experiment. He truly showed us how interesting physics of fluids could be!
Mr. Yeo's tutorials were no less engaging and I always left a tutorial session feeling that not only had my doubts been cleared but I also learnt other concepts and ideas which I had never even thought of. He manages to explain extremely complicated theories and views so that they make perfect sense and always makes us think out of the box and apply the textbook knowledge we learn to practical situations and never has a shortage of real life examples to illustrate any topic we are covering. The topic and theme summaries he leads us through at the end of every topic and theme were very useful and served to link all the knowledge we had gained into a usable sequence and also provide a platform from which we could see how all the topics in the theme were related. Additionally, it aided in answering examination questions which tested our understanding of an entire theme and not just surface knowledge of a topic.
Overall I feel I am fortunate to have had a teacher as knowledgeable, interesting and likable as Mr. Yeo.

A teacher whom you can call a tutor, mentor, friend as well as a big brother is what I would describe my former junior college tutor, Mr. Yeo. I would not be where I am today if not because of him. His systematic approach in teaching physics has made me fall in love with the subject and encouraged me to pursue my interest in civil engineering. His great emphasis on building up foundations has made me realize the importance in knowing the fundamentals as it is the answer to all questions. This has indirectly influenced the way I lead my life as I realize that there is no shortcuts in reaching the top.
His approachable and easy going nature has also made him a person whom students can turn to when they need extra help in their studies. His advice, moral support and guidance is really helpful to students who feel lost or demoralized. The extra effort he puts in coaching his students outside curriculum times showed to me his dedication as a teacher. His encouragement and advice has made me realize my full potential and made me feel more confident of myself.
Besides being a great tutor, I am happy to be given a chance to be his colleague while working as a relief tutor. His openness in sharing his work experience and knowledge has been very useful to me when I was teaching my students. He not only praised me for my good points but also emphasize on my weak points so that I can further improve myself.
I am really grateful to him as he made me what I am today.
