Commitment / Other Details
Available at present in the evenings and on weekends. Presently teaching three students on Sunday afternoons. Patient with children with dyslexia.
Rapport Building
All my students love me as I am an understanding fatherly figure to them. I teach them skills and not load them with unnecessary work. As an English and a Historian, I am well placed to teach them life skills. I make sure I understand their characters, their fears and anxieties and I encourage and inspire them to make use of what God gives them. I am born and raised a Catholic la sallian boy myself from a humble background. As a Peranankan I understand many cultures.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I am trained in the new syllabuses for English ( use of rich media and emphasis on oracy skills). As a humanities teacher, I love the inquiry approach and the use of sources for students to make meaning for themselves. I guide them in the skills level.
As a Good Tutor
Many of my students are either in JC, Poly, Universities or even out there as managers and directors in the chosen field. I am born to inspire as a teacher with a servant leadership mould.
