Tuition Background
MOE-certified Teacher
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have 8 years of teaching and school administration experience. I specialize in Science and Mathematics education, reviewing and developing curriculum materials and pedagogy.
This means I look at students' and teachers' strengths and weaknesses and design materials and methods to suit learning and teaching needs. I build rapport with my students and teachers. We work towards our common goal because we build a vision to work towards, not because there's a job to fulfill. As such, my teachers and students keep coming back to me long after our professional interaction ends to seek advice.

Commitment / Other Details
If I take up your child, you have my commitment for the entire academic year.
My sessions are divided into a few parts: 1. Review topics taught in school. 2. Q&A to clarify student's doubts. 3. Practice selected questions to highlight exam demands by PSLE and O level examiners. My value as a tutor comes from my experience as a PSLE marker and high competency in the secondary school subjects. If I have scored Aces, I know what answers markers are looking for. Other tutors might not be sure that what they are teaching and what answer scores. Not me.
Rapport Building
I build rapport by developing respect. There is professional respect for you, your child and vice versa. Based on respect, we set our goals and work towards it. Expectations on students and parents are based on common Asian values as they are expected of myself.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I'm a current adjunct teacher in a MOE school. I am in constant update on PSLE markers' requirement and have been a marker myself. I know exactly which kinds of question responses are required and the number of marks that will be awarded.
As a Good Tutor
1. I put myself in student's shoes. What kind of cognitive ability they have at their age, their world experience, they way students view and understand things.
2. I break down concepts into their essence before formulating how to teach them in the most 'relate-able' and 'digestible' way.
3. Students know I have a genuine interest of their success in heart.
