About Our Classes

Who teaches the Geography classes?

Every Geography class at GeogCafe is taught personally by the founder and principal tutor, Mr Eric Goh. He is a former Senior Teacher at Raffles Institution and Subject Head at Hwa Chong, and has taught Geography since 2003.

Which levels do you teach?

Geography for Sec 1 to Sec 4 (O Level Pure and Elective), JC H1 and H2 Geography, and IP, IB and IGCSE Geography. We also teach O Level Social Studies as part of Combined Humanities.

Where are your centres?

Our main centre is at 36 Newton Road, #03-17 Hotel Royal, Singapore 307964, a 10-minute walk from Novena MRT. Our second centre is within walking distance of Kembangan MRT.

Can my child attend online?

Yes. Group classes run physically and online at the same time, so online students follow the same lesson and receive the same notes and marked practice.

Do you teach Chemistry, Economics or Maths?

No. GeogCafe specialises in Geography and Social Studies. For other subjects, we refer students to partner tutors listed on our Contact page.

Fees and Registration

How much is Geography tuition at GeogCafe?

Group classes start from $250 a month. Fees vary by level and format; see our Fees and Schedule page for details.

How do I register?

Fill in the registration form with the student's level, school and latest grade, or WhatsApp us at +65 9025 6500. We will recommend a class and confirm whether a place is available

Can my child join in the middle of the year?

Yes, subject to space. Many students join after a disappointing common test or Prelim result and still improve before the national exam.

Syllabus Questions

What are the current O Level and A Level Geography syllabus codes?

For 2026, O Level Pure Geography is 2279, Combined Humanities with Geography is 2260, H2 Geography is 9173 and H1 Geography is 8834. The older codes 2236, 2267, 9751 and 8813 are retired.

Are rivers and coasts still examined at O Level?

No. Rivers, coasts, tropical rainforests, food resources, health and disease, and urbanisation were removed when the 2279 syllabus was introduced. Notes that still cover them were written for the old syllabus.

What is the difference between Pure and Elective Geography?

Pure Geography (2279) has two papers, five clusters and a 10-week fieldwork task. Elective Geography is one paper within Combined Humanities (2260), with four clusters and a choice between Climate and Tectonics.

Should I take H1 or H2 Geography in JC?

H1 Geography covers the same content cluster as H2's Cluster 3, Sustainable Future and Climate Change. H2 adds two more clusters and a second paper. Our H1 vs H2 guide explains how to choose.

Support and 1-to-1 Tuition

Can students ask questions outside class?

Yes. Students can send questions on WhatsApp or arrange a Zoom consultation between lessons.

Do you run mock exams?

Yes. Before Prelims and the national exams, students sit timed mock papers that Mr Goh marks and reviews with each student.

How does 1-to-1 tuition work?

1-to-1 lessons can be weekly, fortnightly or ad hoc, at home, at our centre or online. Lessons are planned around the topics and skills the student needs most.

Can my child form a small group with friends?

Yes. Students can arrange a private small group with friends, and the fee per student is lower than 1-to-1 tuition.
