🔥J2 Headstart Programme

Didn’t do well for our promos?
Start afresh and make your J2 comeback in 2026

The transition from J1 to J2 can be challenging, as entirely new segments of the syllabus are introduced.
In Economics, you’ll move from Microeconomics to Macroeconomics.
In Physics, you’ll encounter advanced topics such as Modern Physics
In Mathematics you’ll go from Pure Math to Statistics and Probability

All these new areas demand new ways of thinking.

Our J2 Headstart Programme is designed to:
✅ Recap essential J1 topics and concepts to bridge any learning gaps
✅ Lay a strong foundation in key J2 topics across Economics, Physics, and Mathematics
✅ Provide long-term resources and strategies to guide you through your J2 journey and A-Levels

Whether you’re aiming for a comeback or striving to stay ahead, this headstart will give you the clarity, structure, and confidence to thrive in J2.

Here’s what our previous headstart attendees have to say!

🧩 “I learnt more during the headstart than I did my entire J1!”

Rachel Tan, NYJC (Econs Headstart)

“After promos, I realised there were huge gaps in my understanding esp since I got a U for my promos. We revisited key J1 concepts but in a way that finally made sense, I felt like I learnt more during the headstart than I did in my entire J1 from school. The model essays were also rly so useful in helping me see how to apply the concepts in exams especially because schools don’t usually provide full essays! I feel a lot more prepared and less lost starting J2!

⚡ “Physics actually made sense for once.”

Ng Zhi Xuan, AJC (Physics Headstart)

“Physics Headstart helped me rebuild my confidence after struggling with promos. I used to memorise equations without understanding, but the lessons broke down the logic step by step. The preview of Modern Physics and other J2 topics gave me clarity on what’s ahead. The tutor’s explanations and the notes were so clear that for the first time, I understood what was going on during a physics class!

🌈 “One of the most enjoyable lessons I’ve attended”

Clara Lee, RI (Econs & Physics Headstart)

“I took both the Econs and Physics Headstart classes, and they honestly are one of the most enjoyable lessons I’ve attended. The tutors were funny, engaging, and explained complex ideas in a way that was super easy to understand— it never felt like a lecture. Every session flew by. I left each class with clear notes, stronger understanding, and genuine motivation to start J2 confident and prepared.”

📘 “I still use the headstart notes in J2 to prep for my As”

Darren Ong, ACJC (Econs Headstart)

“The Econs materials were honestly the best I’ve used. Every model essay came with annotations showing how evaluation was built, and there were checklists for every topic. Even after the 4 sessions ended, I kept using the headstart notes in J2 to prep for my As— they basically became my main revision guide. Headstart didn’t just help me catch up; it gave me resources I relied on throughout my A-Level year.”

FAQs

Who is this Headstart Programme for?
😰 Students who didn’t do as well as they hoped for Promos and want a proper restart before J2.
📊 Students who want to strengthen J1 foundations and preview key J2 topics early.
💪 Students who simply want a structured, confident start to their A-Level year.
What will I learn in Headstart?
📘 Each subject focuses on bridging J1 gaps while previewing the most important J2 content:
Economics: From Micro to Macro — learn national policy analysis and essay structures.
Physics: Core concepts revisited + a sneak peek into Modern Physics and other J2 topics.
Mathematics: Refresher of J1 fundamentals + early coverage of Statistics and Probability.
What’s the difference between Headstart and regular classes?
🌱 Headstart is a one-time, 4-session holiday programme designed to reset your foundation and give you a head start before J2 begins. It’s perfect for students who want to rebuild confidence and start strong in the new year.
📆 Regular J2 classes, on the other hand, are weekly lessons that guide you through your entire J2 journey — from concept mastery to A-Level exam preparation.
💡 Many Headstart students continue with our regular J2 classes after the holidays, carrying over their materials and confidence into a full-year plan for success.
Who are the tutors teaching this programme?
📊 Economics: Ms Katherine (B.A. Economics, NUS with Distinction) and Ms Chloe (B.Sc. Economics, SMU)
📐 Physics: Dr Randy (PhD in Physics Education, NTU)
➗ Mathematics: Mr Brandon — Cambridge Mathematics alumnus, graduated with First Class Honours in the Mathematical Tripos (Part IA & IB).
What if I miss a session?
No worries! 💻 Every class is recorded and uploaded within 24 hours.
You’ll have access throughout the holidays, so you can pause, rewatch, and catch up anytime.
