I have working as a teaching assistant at Kumon for a year and specialised in higher level english and math. I believe a tutor does more than mere teaching. She should influence the child in a positively and I believe I will be able to do that.

Commitment / Other Details
I can start immediately. Weekdays in the afternoon and evenings and Saturday morning and afternoon.
Rapport Building
I share a good relationship with the students Ive previously worked with. I am known for being the teacher you can go to for help without hesitation as I dont usually loose my temper with students. I normally take the learn-it-yourself approach, by asking students questions to stimulate their thinking rather that "giving" them the answers. Students who seriously want to learn would love my high spirits!
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I usually check out the assessment books and ten year series in the local bookstores so that I know whats happening in the curriculum. I also flip through the textbooks to get an idea of the current methods used in tackling questions.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor is one who instills good values in a student. She should make the student want to learn rather than learn for the sake of it. Keeping yourself interesting and making yourself relatable to the student is important in creating a good student-teacher bond.
