See one lesson before you decide
A part of a real Orbis lesson, G3 Science, Atoms & Molecules. Your child gets the student's copy with the key ideas left blank, and fills them in during class, so they leave with notes they wrote themselves.
Understand it first
Every topic starts at its most basic level, in plain words, through an analogy or a story, like the gold foil that bounced back. Pitched so every student follows it, and leaves the lesson feeling smart.
Then every question type
For each topic, Ming Jun covers every type of question the exam can ask, exhaustively. Knowing them takes years of teaching and of seeing how examiners test a concept.
A step-by-step framework for each
Every question type gets its own method, worked the way the marker wants.
Why frameworks alone fail
Many tutors stop at the frameworks. Memorised steps work until the question twists, and then students blank. Understanding the concept underneath is what lets your child handle a question they have never seen.
- How Ming Jun teaches each subject
One teacher, every lesson
I teach every lesson myself. I know each student's name, school, level and what they found hard last week. I write each parent's lesson note myself.
Read Ming Jun's story
I'm Ming Jun. I've been teaching for eight years. I'm a specialist in Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and I also teach Sec 1–2 Science, Combined Chemistry and Combined Physics. I founded Canopy Learning Centre and grew it from 20 to more than 2,000 students in four years, by word of mouth. Orbis is my own independent centre. Somewhere along the way I spent more time running a business than teaching. So I stepped back from management to do what I came into education for: teaching students myself.
Orbis sits between a 1-to-1 home tutor and a big tuition brand. Your child learns alongside classmates at the same level, with the founder as the teacher and one person who answers for the whole experience.

Your child comes for one real lesson
1.5 hours at City Plaza, with the same notes and exam questions as everyone else.
That evening, Ming Jun's note
How your child did and what he'd work on first. You decide in your own time.
What it costs
Nothing if you don't continue. If you continue, the trial is charged as one normal lesson ($70). If it's on your child's usual class day, it counts as that week's lesson. If it's before classes start, it's added to the first invoice. The one-time $50 registration fee is also on the first invoice.
Maths and Science only
We teach Maths and Science only. Ming Jun is a specialist in Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
Sec 1–2 Mathematics and Sec 1–2 Science, and Sec 3–4 Mathematics & Additional Mathematics, Pure Chemistry, Pure Physics, Combined Chemistry and Combined Physics, at G3 and G2. For Integrated Programme (IP) students: Sec 1–2 Mathematics and Science, and Sec 3–4 Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
Everything follows the MOE syllabus for the new Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC), which replaces the O-Levels from 2027. What the SEC, G2 and G3 mean for your child. All students also get full access to Orbis English notes.

G3 and the JC track
G3 Science and Maths for students on the JC track. We build the depth and exam habits that G3 papers ask for, from Sec 1.
From the 2028 admissions exercise, MOE works out junior college eligibility from five subjects (a score of 16 or lower is needed), and every subject counted must be taken at G3, including at least one Maths or Science subject. G3 Maths (Mathematics or Additional Mathematics) is also a requirement.
Your child's school decides subject levels, and we can't promise a grade or a JC place. But you'll find it hard to get a tutor with a better track record: 400+ students taught since 2018. We teach carefully and send honest notes on how your child is doing.
Ask about G3 Maths and Science on WhatsAppWorking from G2 towards G3
We help G2 students bring their Maths and Science up to G3 standard, to help keep the JC route open. Your child's school decides whether they take a subject at G3. Our part is helping your child build a solid G3-standard foundation, so they're ready if that chance comes.
We can't promise a level change or a result. But you'll find it hard to get a tutor with a better track record: 400+ students taught since 2018.
Ask about G2 Maths and Science on WhatsAppIntegrated Programme (IP)
IP students skip the O-Levels, so their school sets the pace and the depth. Lessons cover Sec 1–2 Mathematics and Science, and Sec 3–4 Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, taken to the depth their school's IP syllabus and later the A-Levels demand.
Same method: the concept first, then every question type their school tests, each with its own framework.
Book an IP trial lessonHow lessons work
- One 1.5-hour lesson a week per subject

Questions parents ask
Who teaches?
Ming Jun, ex-founder of Canopy Learning Centre, teaches every lesson himself. He's a specialist in Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Orbis is his own independent centre.
Is the trial really free?
Yes, if you decide not to continue. If you continue, the trial is charged as one normal lesson ($70). If it's on your child's usual class day, it counts as that week's lesson. If it's before classes start, it's added to the first invoice. The one-time $50 registration fee goes on the first invoice.
Will my child join a class for the trial?
If there is a class at the same level, subject and G-level at a time that suits you, yes. Otherwise the trial is one-to-one with Ming Jun.
Which subjects and levels do you teach?
Maths and Science for Sec 1 to Sec 4, at G3 and G2: Sec 1–2 Mathematics; Sec 1–2 Science; Sec 3–4 Mathematics & Additional Mathematics; Sec 3–4 Pure Chemistry, Pure Physics, Combined Chemistry, Combined Physics. IP: Sec 1–2 Mathematics and Science; Sec 3–4 Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
Do you teach English or other subjects?
No. We teach Maths and Science only.
Do you teach G1?
No. Orbis teaches G2, G3 and IP Maths and Science.
Do you teach G3 students aiming for JC?
Yes. G3 students on the JC track are our main focus. Lessons build the depth and exam habits that G3 papers ask for, from Sec 1. We can't promise a grade or a JC place. But you'll find it hard to get a tutor with a better track record.
My child is G2. Can you help them move up to G3?
The school decides whether a student takes a subject at G3. What we do is help G2 students bring their Maths and Science up to G3 standard, so they are ready if their school offers the move. We can't promise the outcome. But you'll find it hard to get a tutor with a better track record. From 2028, MOE counts only G3 subjects in the junior college eligibility score; see "G3 and the JC track" above.
Is the SEC easier than the O-Level?
No. SEAB says there is no change in the overall standards, and G3 is graded A1 to 9, the same as the O-Level. See SEC, G2 and G3 explained.
What score does my child need to move from G2 to G3?
There is no national score. MOE gives schools guidelines, and the school makes the final decision. See SEC, G2 and G3 explained.
My child is G2 in Maths and G3 in Science. Is that OK?
Yes. We place each subject separately by G-level.
Can my child start in the middle of a term?
Yes. You pay only for the lessons left in that term.
Do lessons run in the school holidays and on public holidays?
Yes. Lessons run every week of the Orbis term, including school holidays and public holidays.
What if my child misses a lesson?
With at least 24 hours' notice, we arrange a make-up in another class of the same subject and level within two weeks where there is a seat. Otherwise your child gets the notes and a short consultation. See How lessons work.
How will I know how my child is doing?
A short WhatsApp report after each lesson (or weekly, if you prefer); your parent page; and a note from Ming Jun whenever something matters.
Why choose Orbis?
Ming Jun's track record: more than 400 students taught personally since 2018, and Canopy Learning Centre, which he founded and grew from 20 to 2,000+ students in four years by word of mouth. At Orbis, his own independent centre, he teaches every lesson and writes every parent note. The trial lesson lets you see it for yourself: see the lesson, read his note afterwards, then decide.
Who answers the WhatsApp line?
8336 4048 is the Orbis admin line. You'll receive a reply within 5 minutes, and Ming Jun sees every conversation.
How do I pay?
By PayNow QR on the term invoice.
How do I stop lessons?
Tell us before the end of the term. It takes effect at the end of that term.
Begin with one lesson
Free if you don't continue. We'll WhatsApp you to arrange a time that suits you.
