Tuition Background

Tuition/Teaching Experience
I am a full-time English Teacher in an International School in Singapore. This has been the case for the last 10 years. Prior to that, I was a journalist in the local media scene and had also taught in in a bilingual academy in Suzhou, China before joining the media.

As for tutoring, I have been conducting lessons in Singapore since 2006, while still with the media. The realization that I so thoroughly enjoyed teaching spurred me on to my current position. My focus is English for all levels and Mathematics up to Secondary four. For the secondary syllabus, I specialize in Elementary Mathematics.

I have seen students from 8 years of age right up till 19 years of age; many of whom are under my guidance, or have become good friends upon graduating.

Rapport Building
I view my students as vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge. In my opinion, this has to be supported with enforcing a good value system. As a tutor, it is not just about teaching the content from the syllabus. While of course grades are of utmost important, understanding concepts and the realization of what a good education does are equally pivotal.

To back this claim, I have been blessed with many students who will be more than willing to provide supporting documentation to quantify this claim. I also adopt a mentoring approach during my group lessons, during which the students with a better ability assist the ones who are weaker. The once weaker students, upon having demonstrated substantial improvement emulate this system thereafter. This, in my opinion, build empathy and confidence.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As I am currently a teacher, I am constantly updated on changes in the curriculum and do communicate this to the students. When you build an adaptive student, seldom are they affected by curriculum changes.
As a Good Tutor
Love what you do, appreciate differences and always be present in the moment. A good tutor does not end the class when the time is up. He/She is one who cares for and caters to the holistic knowledge and character development of the child under his/ her charge.

      Committed tutor since 2011, I ensure student success with personalized guidance, fostering a love for learning and achieving academic excellence.
      Rapport Building
      Building a strong rapport with students is a foundational element of my tutoring approach. Since commencing my journey as a tutor in 2011, I have consistently prioritized the development of positive and meaningful connections with those I mentor.

      One key aspect of rapport building is the recognition of each student's unique qualities, learning styles, and preferences. Understanding and appreciating these individual differences enable me to tailor my teaching methods to suit their specific needs. This personalized approach creates a more effective and enjoyable learning experience, fostering a sense of trust and understanding.

      Open communication is at the core of establishing rapport. I strive to create an environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, asking questions, and seeking clarification. By actively listening and responding with empathy, I aim to nurture a supportive atmosphere that encourages students to actively engage in the learning process.

      Consistency is another vital component. Regular and predictable interactions help build familiarity and trust. Whether through scheduled sessions, timely feedback, or informal check-ins, I maintain a consistent presence to reinforce the connection and demonstrate my commitment to their academic progress.

      Beyond academics, I take a genuine interest in students' lives and aspirations. Understanding their interests, goals, and challenges allows me to relate the subject matter to their personal experiences, making it more relevant and relatable. This holistic approach demonstrates my investment in their overall well-being and development.

      Integrating humor and enthusiasm into the learning environment contributes to rapport building. A positive and lighthearted atmosphere not only makes the sessions more enjoyable but also creates a connection based on shared experiences and mutual enjoyment of the learning process.

      Incorporating real-world examples and practical applications is a strategy I use to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and everyday life. This not only enhances understanding but also demonstrates the practical relevance of the subjects we explore together, further strengthening the connection between academic content and the students' lived experiences.

      Consistent and constructive feedback is an integral part of rapport building. I provide timely and specific feedback that acknowledges achievements and offers guidance for improvement. This transparent communication not only keeps students informed about their progress but also reinforces a collaborative relationship where they are active participants in their own learning journey.

      I recognize the importance of adaptability in rapport building. As students evolve, so do their needs and preferences. Being flexible and responsive to these changes ensures that the rapport remains strong and relevant, adapting to the shifting dynamics of the student-tutor relationship.

      In summary, my approach to rapport building is rooted in understanding, communication, consistency, genuine interest, positivity, and adaptability. By prioritizing the development of strong connections with students, I aim to create a supportive and empowering learning environment where they feel valued, understood, and inspired to achieve their academic goals.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      Adaptable tutor since 2011, I stay current with the latest syllabuse, ensuring students receive relevant and effective guidance for academic excellence.
      As a Good Tutor
      Being a good tutor is a multifaceted commitment that extends beyond simply imparting knowledge. Since the inception of my tutoring journey in 2011, I have strived to embody the qualities and practices that define an effective and compassionate educator.

      First and foremost, a good tutor understands that each student is unique. Tailoring my approach to the individual needs, learning styles, and goals of each student is a cornerstone of my tutoring philosophy. By recognizing and respecting these differences, I create a personalized and adaptive learning environment where students can thrive.

      Building a strong rapport with my students is another integral aspect of my tutoring practice. Establishing a positive and supportive connection fosters trust and encourages open communication. This rapport not only enhances the learning experience but also creates a safe space where students feel comfortable asking questions, expressing concerns, and actively participating in their education.

      One of my guiding principles is to instill a love for learning. Beyond facilitating subject comprehension, I aim to ignite curiosity and passion in my students. I believe that fostering an intrinsic motivation to learn empowers students to take ownership of their education and pursue knowledge beyond the confines of our tutoring sessions.

      Effective communication is paramount in the tutor-student relationship. I ensure that instructions are clear, concepts are explained thoroughly, and feedback is constructive. Regular check-ins and feedback sessions provide students with a roadmap for improvement while highlighting their achievements, promoting a growth mindset.

      As a good tutor, I am committed to creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment. I incorporate diverse teaching methods, educational technologies, and real-world examples to make the material relevant and interesting. This approach not only enhances understanding but also encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

      Timely feedback to both students and parents is a practice I rigorously uphold. Clear and constructive feedback is essential for continuous improvement. It keeps students informed about their progress, strengths, and areas for development, while also involving parents in the educational journey. This collaborative approach ensures a holistic support system for the student.

      Adaptability is a quality I value highly. Recognizing that educational needs evolve, I stay abreast of curriculum changes, educational trends, and advancements in teaching methodologies. This proactive approach enables me to adjust my strategies and materials to align with the current academic landscape.

      Above all, being a good tutor requires genuine care for the well-being and success of each student. I celebrate their accomplishments, provide encouragement during challenges, and serve as a mentor in their academic journey. By combining expertise with empathy, I aspire to not only help students excel academically but also contribute to their overall growth and development as individuals.

          Rapport Building
          Most of my friends tell me that I am very friendly and understanding as a person and I interact well with others because of these traits. I personally feel that I am pretty empathetic and meticulous when doing work, as well as when teaching students.

          As for rapport building with the tutees, generally, I prefer to use the first session to get to understand the child's needs and struggles with their academic studies, as well as the areas they may be weaker in, also to get a rough gauge on how to best engage the child.

          I would also consult the parents in terms of certain needs the child has, or teaching methods he/she prefers as well as how he or she best learns.

          It will probably take a few sessions for the child and tutor to warm up to each other, as well as build a certain level of trust between tutor and tutee. This will most likely involve asking the child some personal questions, simple ones being their CCAs, outside interests, favourite subjects, what they enjoy with their families and friends on weekends etc so as to get to know the child more personally if they are open to it. This is to foster a certain level of trust and closeness between tutor and tutee to ensure a smoother tuition experience for everyone.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          Primary School curriculum is generally very manageable and easily tackled since they mostly involve basic math, science, and for languages, mostly involve basic grammar and simple vocabulary.
          For secondary school, I am a JC graduate, so secondary school knowledge for subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, and writing of english essays are still relatively fresh to me. Before teaching any students, I will read through the syllabus document for the relevant subjects and update myself on the relevant areas which I am not familiar with or are new.
          For JC, I retook A levels last year, so the memory of the subjects I took are also fresh. Similarly, using the syllabus documents to check for updates regarding the curriculum is also vital.
          As a Good Tutor
          A good tutor must first and foremost be empathetic enough to understand that each and every tutee is unique and that they have different ways of learning and interacting with a tutor. A good tutor should be able to pick up on what actions enable the child to be more receptive to learning and capitalize on that to ensure that they have a fruitful time during tuition.

          A good tutor must also be attentive to when students are stressed or tired and adjust the pace of teaching according to their fatigue levels. For instance, upper secondary school students more prone to staying up late and paying less attention during tuition usually start yawning or their attention drifts elsewhere during tuition. It is important to give such students breaks for a short power nap or wash their faces before continuing the session to ensure that their time is not wasted and to ensure that their energy is not further wasted.

          A good tutor should always maintain suitable boundaries and respect both the tutee and their parents. Apart from keeping a close and harmonious relationship with the tutees and their parents, a good tutor must always keep in mind that any personal questions should directly contribute to the tutee’s learning and not infringe upon another’s privacy, unless provided by the tutees or their parents as a precaution.
