Rapport Building
1. Be very open & flexible in the way the parents/students want the lesson conducted, e.g. pace, topics which need more/less emphasis...
2. Give frank feedbacks to students & parents, but never resort to scolding
3. Give real-life examples or relevant analogies to visualize abstract concepts
4. Make sure students understand concept before attempting problems, to build confidence and avoid spoon-feeding in problem solving
4. Be as flexible as possible in terms of lesson scheduling, especially near exam period
Keeping Up with Curriculum
1. Frequent connects with current MOE teachers to keep myself abreast with the curriculum
2. Understanding content before school starts with the different reference materials available in the market
As a Good Tutor
I believe that while passion and patience are crucial qualities in effectively guiding students towards fufiling their academic potential, content mastery of the teacher cannot be neglected. Content confidence is necessary to empower and inspire students towards academic excellence with proper scaffolding.
A good tutor will be able to give real-life examples or analogies to visualize abstract concepts to help students understand the content. I will also impart in my students a systematic framework for problem solving to help them think critically and independently, not only in exams, but also apply their knowledge in daily life.
