Commitment / Other Details
I can start ASAP and will be able to do so till the end of 2014. I will most likely not be going for any lengthy overseas trips until the end of next year. I am available from Monday to Friday after 6pm (varies from day to day), Saturday after 2pm and anytime on Sunday.
Rapport Building
As a tutor, the best way to establish rapport is to be, and stay dedicated to his/her student. During the lesson, I focus entirely on the student and try my best to guide my tutee along. I refrain from using criticisms and instead more compliments to encourage my students. To build rapport with the parents, I will feed back to them any comments I have, and anything I think that will help the student to better in his/her studies.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have recently graduated from JC a year ago, and is still quite familiar with the syllabus. I have also just finished teaching an O level student. I update myself with the curriculum by reading through her text book and planning lessons beforehand, and try my best to sync my lesson contents with her's in school.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor's ultimate goal is to improve the results of the student he/she is teaching. Different tutors have different methods, and as long as the end is achieved with appropriate means, he/she is a good tutor.
I personally strongly believe in mastery learning. This encompasses understanding followed by consistent practice. I think familiarization with every type of questions is the best way to establish the correct thinking process required to solve any question.
