Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have almost a year's experience in tutoring upper primary (Years 4-6 children in improving their reading and comprehension. There has been a noticeable improvement in students' reading abilities, in particular.
I'm able to start immediately and am available all day Wednesday and Friday, all weekend and Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
RATES: A rate of $65/hr if parents come to my place, $75/hr if I have to travel to theirs. Note that this includes an agent's commission. However, this is negotiable.
Rapport Building
In a typical tutoring session, I ask the child a little bit about his or her interests and their school, and then I ask where they're having trouble. Typically, I also expect a sample of their schoolwork and homework, as well as the most recent report card. If this isn't available, I ask them to write me a creative piece or an essay, or give them some comprehension questions I've prepared beforehand.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will go to the MOE's website and track down the English curriculum, then design exercises and activities using that.
As a Good Tutor
Warmth and rapport with students, regular feedback to parents, good assessment of students (e.g. regular tests, with scores recorded each time). Tutors need to be well-prepared and be passionate and knowledgeable about their subject(s).
