I have one year of teaching experience. I'm currently teaching a Sec 1 girl Maths and Science and she is coping well in these subjects. Since secondary school, I've been in the top percentile for Maths in school. In secondary school i used to help my teacher to produce model answers for various Maths assignments.

Commitment / Other Details
I can start as soon as possible and even commit during weekends. How ever when Uni starts in August 2014, I can still commit if the tuition timing doesn't clash with my school timing.
I can hold group tuition sessions, but I prefer one-to-one so that i can keep track of my student's academic progress and this allows me to focus more on my student.
Rapport Building
I will always keep track of my students' studies (e.g. through class tests, school exams) and also keep in contact with the parents to find out how my students are coping. I will also understand that students may be exhausted after school and may not pay full attention during lessons. For this, i will remind students and allow them to take short toilet breaks or have snacks to keep them awake.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Dance is my passion and a significant part of my life. However I am aware of the importance of my studies as well. In primary and secondary school, I took up ballet classes in Malaysia at my own time. Apart from this, I was the vice-chairperson of my Chinese Dance club in Secondary school. Nevertheless, all these Co-curricular commitments are never an excuse for me to not do well in my studies. If I fail to understand certain concepts, I will spend more time on these poorer subjects and constantly attend consultations to clear my doubts. As shown above, I am able to manage my time well and make sure that i dont neglect my studies when pursuing my interest.
As a Good Tutor
I believe that tutors are the ones who provide additional and extra help for the students to improve on their studies. Tuition is an platform for students to clarify their doubts on certain academic concepts outside school time. A good tutor must have the basic qualities such as patience, resilience and determination to achieve the above. For me, I am flexible in my teaching method as i will teach according to students' learning speed and style.
