Periodic Table & Metals Mastery Workshop
“The lesson was very engaging and it managed to capture the student’s attention, preventing us from falling asleep (ie, schools & tuitions). Unlike other tuitions, the lesson was two-way and students can participate actively. It also made Chemistry easier to learn and understand by teaching us the basic essential concepts that is needed to answer challenging application questions.”

In the Periodic Table & Metals Mastery Workshop, students will learn:
PERIODIC TABLE:
- How elements are being arranged in the Periodic Table
- How the position of an element is related to proton number & electronic structure
- Relationship between group number & the ionic charge of an element
- Similarities between the elements in the same group of the Periodic Table
- Strategies to predict change from metallic to non-metallic character across a period
- Strategies to predict the Chemical & Physical properties of Group I & VII
- Properties & common uses of Group 0 Noble Gases
- Properties & common uses of Transition metals & its compounds
METALS:
- General properties of Metals vs Non-Metals
- Importance of alloys and their properties
- Strategies to remember the Metals Reactivity Series
- How to determine the reactions, if any, of the metals with water, steam & dilute HCl
- How to determine the reduction, if any, of their oxides by carbon and/or by hydrogen
- Everything you need to know about Metals Displacement Reactions
- Strategies to determine the extraction method for various metals
- How the social, economic and environmental issues affects recycling of metals
- Strategies to remember the 5 essential reactions in the extraction of iron
- Composition of different types of Steel & how it affects their common uses
- Essential conditions for the corrosion (rusting) of iron & the preventive methods
“I have managed to fill up the “holes” in my Chemistry concepts through a thorough revision provided by the workshop. It helps to reinforce my concepts and teaches me to answer questions more specifically to what examiners want. I have never attended any other Chemistry workshops like this before! I feel more confident about my Chemistry after this GCE ‘O’ Level Mastery Workshop. I would highly recommend them to my friends.”
Sheryl Khoo Yan Ru, Nan Hua High School 2009
“Sean’s teaching approach has helped me to understand major and tough topic in a easier way. He has also taught me the methodology and strategy used in tackling difficult questions. I strongly recommend Sean to you because he is very friendly and approachable. It is easy to understand the way he teaches. He always finds analogies and everyday examples to relate to the Chemistry Concepts in order for me to learn effectively. Thanks Sean!”
Hannah Woo, Clementi Town Sec Sch, E8 (Prelims) to B4 (O Level 2008)
“Sean uses creative techniques in teaching Chemistry, making Chemistry much easier to understand. This bootcamp has also boosted my confidence of scoring an A1 for my ‘O’ Level Chemistry.”
