Tuition/Teaching Experience
I graduated from NUS with a BSc in Physics. And currently in the process of joining MOE as a teacher. I am looking forwards to being a dedicated teacher.
I have experience in teaching O-Levels Mathematics and Physics at tuition centres full-time from Jan2008 to Aug2008, and in giving home tuition since 2011. Additionally, I also worked as relief teacher from May2009 to July2009 during my University vacation. The students I worked with had been from various academic abilities.
Total experience : About 2-3 years
One of my previous student who obtained D7 and E8 in E-Maths and A-Maths went on to score A1 and B3 at the O-levels.
Lower secondary level - English Malay Mathematics Science
Upper secondary level - A Maths Chemistry E Maths Physics Physics/Chem
Junior college level - Maths Physics
International Baccalaureate - Further Math Mathematics Physics
Commitment / Other Details
COMMITMENT :
Because my tuition assignments are limited to about 1-2 students at a time, I can spend more time for better quality of coaching. While charges are only for the time I spend giving home tuition(contact hours), I will normally be available for extra consultations through the internet or phone on an ad-hoc basis.
Teaching is my passion and I place emphasis on building trust, long-term commitment and discipline with my students to guide their learning process.
*Special Offer : For Sec 3 students in 2014 who will be sitting for O-Levels in 2015; I can commit for the entire duration. We can work out a revision plan based on past year papers(10-year series) and complete the syllabus before the final examinations.
TEACHING METHODS :
I have the experience dealing with students from different levels of academic abilities. The most important thing I gleaned is that; to teach effectively, one must gain an understanding on how the students think and learn. Therefore, I tailor my approach and the depth of the lessons according to the needs and abilities of the students. If the need arises, I am also willing to explain the fundamental concepts in other languages that I am fluent in(Malay and Tamil)
For weak students(grade below C6/Pass), emphasis is placed on building a strong foundation to try to push the students to grade B3 and above. For average and good students, I focus more on problem solving and practice based on past year papers to build aptitude and the confidence to tackle the questions and obtain the coveted Grade A. I have also worked with excellent students; focusing more on higher level problem solving skills. On request, I am also willing to go beyond the syllabus to provide greater challenge for highly motivated students.
RATES :
JC - 40-55 SGD
Upp Sec : 35-45 SGD
Low Sec : 30-40 SGD
*According to the market rate for a graduate tutor, but am willing to negotiate the rates.
