Tuition Background
Part-Time
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have been giving english tuition for a year. My past students were from a neighbourhood tuition centre that was held in a church. Classes were held weekly and my students were aged from 13-18 years old. I held classes that touched bases on the different components of the english language (composition writing, letter writing, oral practice, comprehension, grammar and vocabulary).
My experience also comes from the current students that I am teaching. I currently have both local and foreign students. I have helped my foreign and local students pass their entrance exams (AEIS) and GCE O level english exams. You can be assured that I am extremely familiar with the syllabus for both local and foreign students in Singapore.
Lower secondary level - English Literature Social Studies
Upper secondary level - English Literature
Commitment / Other Details
My teaching method that has helped my students improve is patience. Many of my students came to me with sub-par results. They fall behind in school because their teachers rush to finish the syllabus in order to kick start the revision for the O levels. My slow but steady teaching method has helped my tutees analyse their weaknesses and strengths in the language. By breaking down their weak components, we were then able to tackle these weaknesses one by one.
I understand that mastering a language is daunting and challenging. But as long as both tutee and tutor work hard together, success can definitely be achieved.
I can start as soon as possible. Preferably Monday-Thursdays, timings are flexible. Sat/Sun mornings & early afternoons are good as well.
Rapport Building
Rapport building is important as it helps the tutor and child understand each other better. As a tutor, I will strive to understand what my tutee's strengths and weaknesses are. This would enable me to employ specific teaching techniques to tap into his strengths and to build up his weaknesses.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I frequent the bookstores to check up on the latest curriculum. I also exchange new information with some of my other tutor friends.
As a Good Tutor
I believe I have the patience and understanding to be a good tutor. Patience is key as the tutee may not be able to grasp new concepts quickly - this is where I have to slow down and explain the concepts again.
