Commitment / Other Details
I am a Full Time Tutor and is able to start on any assignments immediately. Currently I have several students that have been with me for the past several years, some of them through PSLE in2 Secondary
Rapport Building
I think I love to teach. The amount of satisfaction that I get through teaching is different compared to lets say achieving a deadline. In one of the organization that I used to work for, I was a trainer for some of the courses offered by MOM. I was a trainer for the adults. Of course the skill sets you need in teaching the adults & children or teens are different. But the satisfaction is the same, when they perform well at work or in school, no other job can provide the same amount of satisfaction or fulfillment.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Teaching in 1998 during my poly days, the standard was different compared to current. Therefore, as a tutor, I have to keep myself updated with the curriculum to remain relevant in the teaching methods and solutions that I'm dishing out. I do go through all these assessment materials at bookshops to see the problem solving methods of certain questions as well as the question formats.
As a Good Tutor
Sometimes students, especially teenagers, they can have a mind of their own. They have their own way of doing things or maybe talking to you. More often than not, they may be a little bit rude towards you. However, as a good tutor, aside from teaching these students of what is within the books, the tutor shall also share with them life skills. Be a motivator and a patient listener.
