2 years of tutoring Primary School level students. Like teaching at a professional level, being a good tutor not only involves helping students with their weak subjects. Good tutors are able to engage well with students and encourage them to develop important skills from a young age. Organisational skills, creativity and discipline are some of the many traits that great teachers are able to impart to their students - which would serve them well in the future
I would be able to start in the first week of 2014 and would be able to commit to an assignment indefinitely due to a flexible schedule.
Rapport Building
I engage my students by talking about their interests. They can range from reading, watching documentaries, sports, art, cartoons, to collecting action figures. They seem to find their tutor less "boring" and they will be more receptive when given assignments. Best way to build rapport with parents is to deliver results!
Keeping Up with Curriculum
The basic concept of most subject matter in easily grasped and regurgitated. When variables and scenarios are added and manipulated is when the subject, and question becomes a challenge to students, and sometimes teachers alike. By going through question papers from various schools can one challenge the newer and higher level variants of the curriculum.
As a Good Tutor
Being patient with students, especially the younger ones which have shorter attention span. Creating interest in work and assignments by building rapport with the student. Helping students improve on weak areas and mastering those areas that are strong. Imparting useful lifelong skills like discipline, tidiness and diligence, etc.
