I am currently a Masters student at the National University of Singapore. I am from Mumbai, India, where I have been teaching students in the age group 13-18 for the past three years. Although I have been teaching part time, I am fully dedicated to the cause. All my students have performed remarkably well in their exams, scoring in the top 10-15% of their classes. I am comfortable teaching any subjects, but I specialize in Mathematics, Physics and English.
Lower secondary level - English Mathematics Science
Upper secondary level - A Maths Chemistry E Maths Physics Physics/Chem
Junior college level - Maths Physics
International Baccalaureate - Further Math Mathematics
University Entry Exams - GMAT SAT1 Critical Reading SAT1 Mathematics
Commitment / Other Details
I am willing to start straight away, and I can commit to an assignment for about six months. I would prefer taking one-on-one lectures, because I believe that students require a lot of attention. However, I can also teach groups, provided the timings are not too short.
Since I am a Masters student, my time table is quite flexible, but I do not appreciate classes being cancelled.
Rapport Building
I normally sit down with a student's parents before I start teaching their ward, and try to understand their needs and expectations. It is important for parents to understand their children, and I try to be the link between the two.
Over the course of the assignment, students develop a very strong rapport with me; outside the class I am their friend but inside the class their is mutual respect.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I try and keep myself updated with the various syllabi of schools and colleges by going through them every few months. Also, I keep myself updated with new approaches to solving old problems.
As a Good Tutor
- an understanding of the parents' and student's needs
- the wisdom to understand the student's limitations and the techniques to overcome them
- good communication skills
- easy to approach
- up to date with not just the syllabus but also the outside world
