As a Good Tutor
I am both strict and patient. That being said, I do not & will not shout, scold the child/ student at any point in time should there be any misconduct. Will consult parents regarding any matters regarding the child before making an informed decision. As not all students have the same learning capability, I will tailor-suit the lessons to better fit the learning ability of the student.

Having a background in Math and science, these are my stronger and favourite subjects to teach hence I will be able to teach them better

    Rapport Building
    Personally, no matter who I'm dealing with, my priority would be to understand what the other party hopes to gain from our interaction. Thus, I would love to get to know the students and parents as people rather than from a detached basis. It's easier to figure out how to organize things in the long run as well once the basis is set.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    As a Good Tutor
    As a tutor I believe in being adaptable to the specific needs of each student and their parents. Being able to understand why one learns or why one does not want to learn, what they'd hope to get out of it and why.

    At the same time putting the effort and patience into getting through and conveying information on a level that is understood by the other party.

          Rapport Building
          I would like to talk with both the parents and the student themselves to ask and find out more about their specific needs and problems with regards to the particular subject and also learn from them what they hope to achieve from the tutoring sessions. I would also like to ensure constant communication with the student and parents to ensure we are all moving on the right track at the right pace and that their needs are being fulfilled correctly by me as a tutor.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          Aside from keeping up with the current textbooks and workbooks, I also look at assessment books to keep myself in touch with what is expected of the syllabus.
          As a Good Tutor
          I think that the basic qualities of a good tutor is that she/he is able to communicate comfortably with the student so that the student does not feel uncomfortable or nervous to ask any questions and clarify doubts. Tutors should also be able to see if the student is able to keep up with their teaching style and try to ensure that their teaching style adapts to meet the learning style of the students as well.

            Rapport Building
            I build rapport easily with my students and strive to inject a spirit of learning in each individual. I believe that I will be an invaluable asset to any student that has undergone or is currently undergoing my mentorship.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            As a Good Tutor
            I strategize my lessons every week and prepare a lesson plan for each of my students. I deliver engaging lessons through visuals and identify learning needs based on proven methodologies. Additionally, understanding the student's problems and frustrations can help to build trust, confidence, and motivation for the subject.

            I encourage my students to think deeper by giving them exposure to various question types, as well as impart application skills after going through concepts. There will be constant communication to ensure that concepts are understood before moving on to the next topic.

            I am generally responsive to my students' queries and connect with parents frequently to provide feedback on progress and achievements. Materials and resources will be readily available, should my students require specific practice.

                As a Good Tutor
                To be approachable. The student should see his/her teacher as a friend, that way students will come out of their comfort zone and clarify their doubts. As a experienced tutor, I have learnt to access the child personality and go according to his/her pace. Patience, is most important stream when teaching. being able to give multiple examples / routes to get to an answer can be helpful for the child. Basically being well-versed at what he/she is teaching. Then probably next comes, a good motivator. I feel that a Teacher's role should not be limited to purely teaching. Motivating and giving a pat on his/her student's shoulder would boost the child's confidence to excel at what he does. thank you
