Shortlist

Tuition Areas [...]: Central, Sembawang, Yishun, Yio Chu Kang

Qualification: A' Levels

Tuition Background: Part-Time

Tuition/Teaching Experience: I have been tutoring for 3 years, since i graduated from Catholic Junior College in 2011. I got most of my students through friends of my family. This is the first time I am applying through a tutoring agency. I teach Upper Secondary E math, A Math, Chemistry and Physics. All of my students did well for their O'Levels. 3 out of 4 got into their Junior College of choice
I consider myself as a warm, friendly and easy going tutor. I am patient. However, my ultimate goal is for my student to score. In these 3 years of teaching, I've learned and believe in studying smart and active learning. I have developed a system of practices and assignments that can provide my students in that way.

Commitment / Other Details: I am able to start full time on the 3rd of March till August, when i start school in SMU.
Depending on my School's timetable, i might still be able to commit to the student.

Rapport Building: I maintain good relations with my students. I do not assert myself as an authority figure. Instead i approach them as their friend. I try to learn about my students' interest, hobbies and aspirations.
I use e-mails and social networks to increase accessibility to my students.
i like to reward my students comments and questions with verbal praise.
I like to explain my course policies and explain why they are what they are.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: I get most of my materials from my ex tutor who is currently a full time tutor.
I also purchase the latest edition textbooks and ten year series to keep up with the curriculum.

As a Good Tutor: Preparation- Know what you are going to teach before you teach it. Spend time in preparation and reading before the tutoring session. Make it a goal to learn something for yourself. Don't rely on stock knowledge or what you've already taught in the past.
Positive outlook- A positive, optimistic outlook that no matter how bad or how good a students academic situation is, that it can be improved or made better through proactive responses.
Passion - The desire to help others, to be a servant leader within your limits. It's the gut feeling response, not the cool, pious intellectual response of a person who knows it all. It comes at the point when you take your students learning personally. This does not mean that you loose all sense of professionalism, it just means that you are communicating on a deeper level your faith in your students and your commitment to see them learn and grow.
Open mindedness - Although you are the teacher, you also have your blind spots. There are also other points of view and better learning paradigms. Keep an open mind and you'll learn from any situation - even from your own students.
Reliability - Nothing speaks louder, and builds more trust and confidence in your students than when you are reliable. Reliability isn't just being punctual, its conforming what you say to what you do. Don't fake a caring attitude, don't make promises that you don't intend to keep. People have expectations, and when you are able to confirm what you say, either verbally or non-verbally, you are been reliable.
