No reviews yet

I am co-founder of WellPrepped Education (www.wellprepped.sg) where we teach and equip our students to excel at the IB examinations and university admissions in 19 countries globally. I'm currently third-year medical student at LKC School of Medicine, a joint degree program by Imperial College London and NTU Singapore. I personally attained a perfect score of 45 points, with subject percentages averaging 87%. I took Bio, Chem & Math HL and LangLit & Econs SL.

I have 3 years of tutoring experience, having tutored IB students from various IB Singapore schools including ACS (International), Dover Court International, Hwa Chong International, SJI International, Canadian International, Global Indian International, Australian International, United World College and Stamford American International.

My teaching will focus on a few key areas:

First, I believe having a strong conceptual foundation is essential and I'll help students build that up. I teach using tried and tested notes I've personally studied from and honed. All my students will also have access to them.

Second, I'll hone student's exam answering techniques. There's no point having the content knowledge, but not knowing how to present them using pen and paper. I'll teach students important skills like identifying question demands, answering succinctly, and other tips and tricks I've picked up along the way.

Third, I'll teach students to study efficiently and effectively. There's no shortcut from hard work, but there definitely are dumber and smarter ways to study.

Fourth, I know tough IAs and EEs can be. and I'm committed to helping my students ace them. With both personal experience (I've written over 10 EE/IAs) and access to a bank of high-grade IB submissions, I am confident of improving your work and producing a well-crafted robust EE/IA.

Below are some student testimonials I've gotten over the past years:

Kieren (UWC Dover Grade 11): Abel really goes above and beyond in tutoring for the chemistry IA and is available outside class hours for assistance and guidance, even personally guiding me through the experimental procedures. He ensures that my drafts are at a high level and checks them before I submit them.

Naomi: My experience with Abel for my Chemistry IA was exceptional. Despite the short notice, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the subject and provided invaluable guidance on content and scoring strategies. Abel's friendly demeanor and efficient tutoring style made the sessions both enjoyable and productive. He utilized our time effectively, ensuring all essential topics were covered. Overall, I highly recommend Abel for his expertise and supportive approach to tutoring.

Ms Zeeba (Imam's mum): We were extremely fortunate to have found Abel's profile online. I interviewed about 30 people, but as soon as we spoke with him, my son knew he wanted to work with Abel. Abel is truly dedicated to the academic excellence of his students and is sincerely invested in their growth and understanding of the material.

Mr Anand (Tanisha's dad): Mr Abel Chen demonstrates versatility in both pedagogy and subject content knowledge. His commitment and dedication were instrumental in my daughter's remarkable improvement from 5s to 7s for both HL Chemistry and HLBiology in the recent IBDP May 22 exams. I would recommend him highly.

Tanisha (Global Indian Intl Grade 12): I really enjoyed these classes, they were very useful and informative. Abel was very supportive and patient. What I liked most about his teaching was that he would find multiple ways to explain a certain concept so that it was understandable. Would definitely reccomend him to other students as well!

Caroline (Ashton’s Mum SJI International Grade 12): Although my son was resistant to tuition, Abel is able to connect well with him such that he is more accepting of help n even willing to go for extra tuition. Abel also goes out of his way n willing to give my son tuition physically and at such late stage after his prelims. Abel also makes time from his busy NS schedule to find time to guide my son during exam days online while he was in camp…. although my son was initially resistant to online tuition before we engage Abel, he was receptive and very willing to do so with Abel…👍. Feedback from my son is that Abel is able to explain concepts well n is friendly n caring Thanks so much Abel…
