Some testimonials
Joey Shi (RI, 2018, scored A)
Before joining Mr
Daniel Yeo’s lessons, I struggled grasping 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.

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, 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!

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.

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!

Outside of class, Mr Yeo is always open to any physics questions and would never fail to reply them. His knowledge and passion towards the subject has indeed facilitated his teaching in the classroom when he often gives us a brief synopsis of the origins of the theory and the significance of that theory. Because of this, his lessons are always very interesting and impactful, lightening our burden of having to do more memory work at home.
I am really lucky to meet such an enthusiastic teacher and I can assure that one is bound to learn something from such a wise and experienced tutor.

Mr Yeo has made my journey of exploring H2 physics an interesting and enriching one. He simplified the complex concepts using the most fundamental knowledge and enabled me to understand them effectively. His teaching style was easy to follow and his lecture notes were very concise. His worksheets covered a wide range of carefully selected questions, which helped to strengthen my learning. He was so experienced in teaching that whenever I encountered any confusion, he knew exactly where I got wrong and helped to clear my doubts. After one year's lessons with him, I gained my confidence and clarity in physics and I would like to express my deepest gratitude to him. A-Level Physics is not an easy battle, but Mr Yeo has guided me through it and has given me the strength and bravery to fight.
Thank you Mr Yeo!

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.
Rachael Chua (MJC, 2015, scored A)
Mr Yeo is one of the most passionate teachers I have ever come across. With his many years of experience as a Physics teacher, his passion to teach always seems to be growing. He is patient and very detailed when conducting his lessons. In class, he would input interesting application of physics concept making it more relatable for us to understand. This has certainly sparked my interest for physics in the real world.
Mr Yeo prepares his own notes and revises them to make sure they are up to date with the syllabus and apt for examinations. Summary notes are provided to allow fast recap before exams and ensure all key points are addressed.
Besides imparting knowledge, Mr Yeo has also played the role as a pillar of support to all his students. He would inject confidence in you; encourage you to break your limit slowly but surely guiding us to our goal. He gives valuable assessment base on your class and school performance and ways to improve thereafter.
“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.” Mr Yeo is definitely more than a good teacher.
Charlotte Tan (DHS, 2015, scored A)
I had a hard time understanding physics concepts in Y5 as it seemed too abstract to me. However, after attending Mr. Yeo's Physics lessons, I was able to appreciate Physics better.
Mr Yeo's Physics lessons are always engaging and interesting. He is able to break down complex concepts, making it easier for me to understand Physics. Also, he is able to relate the Physics syllabus to our everyday lives, making Physics more relatable for learners like me. Furthermore, Mr. Yeo's strong passion in physics has made me more interested to know more about Physics and its application to our everyday lives. His self-made notes are concise and effective in conveying the key learning objectives of the syllabus, and at the same time, informative.
I'm glad to have attended his tuition class as I've not only learnt Physics from it, I've learnt more about life. I will definitely remember him as a dedicated, committed, and passionate tutor who is willing to go the extra mile to help his students to do better and appreciate physics better.
Thank you, Mr. Yeo!

Mr Daniel Yeo is a marvellous Physics tutor who imparts his knowledge to his students efficaciously. His teaching methods are congenial to students of different ability and easily understood. His succinct topical concept notes subtly and aptly summarizes the crux of each topic, assuaging the vexation of onerous revision through convoluted lecture notes. Apart from Mr Yeo's teaching adroitness, he is also an amicable tutor who lends encouragement to students. He provides thorough weekly quizzes which assist students in accurately gauging their progress in Physics. These questions are brilliantly selected to challenge a myriad of essential skills in H2 Physics. Although my time with Mr Yeo was ephemeral, I am pleased with my massive improvement over the short 4 months. Regardless of the final results, I would still like to express my gratitude to Mr Yeo for all his help!
Bok Leong (DHS, 2015, scored A)
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!
Dylan Chuah (TJC, 2015, scored A)
Mr Yeo is a very proficient and superb physics teacher. He is able to explain and help me comprehend complex physics concepts. He gives clear and concise notes and plenty of practices. The practice he gives covers a wide range of possible permutations of questions that may come out in the exam.
He is a very friendly, patient and understanding teacher, and is eager to clarify any doubts we have.
I will definitely recommend any friend who needs help in Physics to him.
Hi Mr Yeo before I end, I would like to say a big Thank You for all the help you have rendered to me in the past 4 months.

I have never understood physics and its basic concepts during the first few months of JC1 until I went to Mr Yeo’s physics tuition. Mr Yeo is a very dedicated physics teacher who is willing to teach his students and made sure we understood the true essence of physics. The way he teaches is very interesting and fun, he will crack jokes and tell stories once in a while and the time spent on reviewing the chapter’s overview was short but enough to capture the concepts which I personally found it very useful. He gives us important tips on Cambridge mark scheme and what they are looking for by his years of experience. After attending almost 1 and a half years of his class, I felt I have gained a lot and finally understood the basic concepts of physics. Mr Yeo is a very approachable teacher, and through my learning experience I have benefited from him. He is one of the best and most passionate teachers I have come across.
Thank You Mr Yeo!
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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
