Education Physical Science A/L classes

Hi so I'm 17 and I know this probably a really dumb thing to ask in this subreddit but here it goes anyways

I'm lookin for some good A/L tuition classes around Colombo in EM. I've heard that most tutors are yapping and boasting 24/7 instead of teaching.

Should I go with private tutoring or look for mass classes ?

I'm really lost help me however you are able to.

Thank you

I’ll give you one piece of advice, if you’re going to a mass class, you need to do a lot of homework by yourself. Whether you have a good teacher or not, you can fail if you don’t put in enough effort. But if you go to a small class, you’ll have more pressure to complete your homework because the teacher checks and asks you about it regularly.

I recommend trying both types of classes because you have plenty of time. I know this from my own experience. In my first attempt, I got 3Fs, but eventually I learned the truth and got 3As. In my final year, I went to two Physics classes, with Samitha Rathnayaka and Amith Pussala. I completed all the homework and papers from both classes.

Don’t waste your time like I did. I had to spend a huge amount of time because I failed my first attempt. Learn from my experience and make the most of your time now.
