Tuition Background

Tuition/Teaching Experience
- Taught a JC2 Male Student H1 Math when I was still studying in JC2. He had an improvement in grades from E to B.
- Currently teaching a girl for P6 Math (student has not taken any test yet prior to tutoring by me)
- Currently also teaching another girl for JC2 H2 Physics and H2 Math (student has not taken any test yet prior to tutoring by me) -> However for the JC2 girl, she found the tuition session really helpful. At the beginning of the first session, I asked her "What do you feel unsure Oscillation". She said, "I dont know. I think everything" After the 2 hour session, she commented, "Actually, this topic seems really easy." She even introduced me to more students (her friend, her little brother and sister) for tutoring session.
Junior college level - Chemistry Economics Maths Physics
Commitment / Other Details
VENUE / LOCATION :
-> Under my block (Jurong East)
I foresee the use of many resources and hence, will prefer to teach at my place. I have a lot of notes and books to share!! I will not hesitate to photocopy any of them for you during the lesson.
-> I currently do home tuition at my students place as well. But it is subjected to my convenience. (West Area)
TIMING / SCHEDULE:
- Timing is highly flexible!
- Booking comes on a first come first serve basis.
I will be overseas from 23 December 2014 - 3rd Jan 2015.
Rapport Building
As I prefer teaching JC students (having good concepts at JC topics), I will keep a friend-friend relationship with the student during lesson time so that he/she will feel at ease when asking questions and will not be too tensed. Being a just-graduated student also mean that I understand the feeling of students very very well as I have gone through the same education system.
After every month or every 2 months, I will update the parents (if requested to) about the progress of the student.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Having just graduated from a 6 Years Integrated Programmme (IP) School, River Valley High School (currently awaiting for the release of my A levels results next year), I have good knowledge about the curriculum.
Fear not, I have good grasp of JC1 and JC2 concepts for physics, chemistry, mathematics and economics as can be reflected in my report card throughout these 2 years.
I have been consistently fairing very well in H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry, H2 Mathematics and H1 Economics in my school, River Valley High School for both JC1 and JC2.
In fact, I attained the highest overall score (ie 100th percentile) for these 4 subjects as reflected in my holistic report in JC2.
In order to update myself throughout the years, I will take a look at my existing students' notes and tutorials.
As a Good Tutor
Being a good tutor means that you have to be understanding towards your students. You have to be "part of them" and stand in the perspective of the student. Allowing the student to understand the concept is very very important. Rushing into doing tons of works DOES NOT help in long term improvement of grades. What is more important is that he/she actually knows why he/she is using that method.
Summary of each topic on all the important pointers are also very important. For me, I will hand students handwritten summary notes that are very very important for tests and examinations.
