Tuition Background
Part-Time
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I am a full-time English Teacher in an International School in Singapore. This has been the case for the last 10 years. Prior to that, I was a journalist in the local media scene and had also taught in in a bilingual academy in Suzhou, China before joining the media.
As for tutoring, I have been conducting lessons in Singapore since 2006, while still with the media. The realization that I so thoroughly enjoyed teaching spurred me on to my current position. My focus is English for all levels and Mathematics up to Secondary four. For the secondary syllabus, I specialize in Elementary Mathematics.
I have seen students from 8 years of age right up till 19 years of age; many of whom are under my guidance, or have become good friends upon graduating.

Commitment / Other Details
I am currently pursuing my Masters in Education.
Rapport Building
I view my students as vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge. In my opinion, this has to be supported with enforcing a good value system. As a tutor, it is not just about teaching the content from the syllabus. While of course grades are of utmost important, understanding concepts and the realization of what a good education does are equally pivotal.
To back this claim, I have been blessed with many students who will be more than willing to provide supporting documentation to quantify this claim. I also adopt a mentoring approach during my group lessons, during which the students with a better ability assist the ones who are weaker. The once weaker students, upon having demonstrated substantial improvement emulate this system thereafter. This, in my opinion, build empathy and confidence.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As I am currently a teacher, I am constantly updated on changes in the curriculum and do communicate this to the students. When you build an adaptive student, seldom are they affected by curriculum changes.
As a Good Tutor
Love what you do, appreciate differences and always be present in the moment. A good tutor does not end the class when the time is up. He/She is one who cares for and caters to the holistic knowledge and character development of the child under his/ her charge.
