Commitment / Other Details
I will stay with my tutee as long as he/she need me.

My longest commitment is a female tutee whom I taught her from Primary 4 until Secondary 3 ( 2013) and will continue to her secondary 4 in the coming year.

On average, my tutees stays with me for at least 3 years ( Sec 2 to Sec 4 generally ) and up.

I may be away for In-Camp training, but will make up the lesson in the weekends. Priority will always be given to Primary 4 and 6, Secondary 2 and 4.
Rapport Building
I create a relax yet firm learning environment for my tutees. I want my tutees to treat me like their friends, in this way, they can learn better. But at the same time, they need to know that I am their senior, where basic respect is a must.

I will provide timely feedback to parent to inform of their child's progress.

In general, my tuition sessions are fun yet fulfilling as i always have a target to meet ( e.g. number of questions to complete, topics to cover etc ) for each session.

I may not guarantee results but my tutees would achieve beyond their ability and score well naturally.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
In my approach, I adopt revise, learning ahead and practice.

Revise - to check concept understanding of tutee for various topics, to re-teach if necessary.

Learning ahead - to learn faster than the school syllabus ( speed varies with tutee ability ).

Practice - to practise with actual past years tests and examinations papers to refine answering methods, correct any outstanding concept issues and familiarize tutee with examination question format.
