Tuition Background
(ex) MOE certified Teacher
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have 10 years of tutoring O level Physics, Chemistry, EMath, AMath, 2 years of teaching at my tuition centre. I hold a Dip in Education, BSc with 2nd class Honors, and won a book prize for being the most outstanding student in university Mathematics in NIE. I taught PSLE Science and Math at Nan Hua Pri Sch from 2009-2014. I am now teaching students from top sec and pri schools.

I read very widely. My overseas trips involved Sciences such as Astronomy Science, Botany Science, Earth Science, Life Science, etc. I have a huge library of Science and Math resources, plus other general knowledge stuff such as novels, non-fiction, travel, nature, education, references, music, sports, boardgames. For high ability students, I teach beyond textbooks and give them challenging questions.

Commitment / Other Details
Travelling dates for 2018 are April 3 to 19, and another one in November. I am dedicated and punctual. I don't like skipping lessons unnecessarily.
Rapport Building
I usually encourage students to read, not just materials given by the school, but outside the school as well. I have a huge and rich source of what I teach, and my room is getting crowded with all these! I do chat with parents about their kids' progress and give tips on how they can help their kids even on the non academic side.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I am an ex school teacher, and set test/exam papers for upper primary every year. Thus I have all the updated syllabus.
As a Good Tutor
Having taught more than 16 years at many places, I have mastered the art of being patient. I love to read, I love to do research, I have a quest for knowledge, thus I have so much to share with my students and apply these knowledge in my teaching. My past educational overseas trips have also enrich me in the area of Sciences. I am a very punctual person and I don't like skipping lessons. I am also very much into sports (also previously a PE teacher) and rollerblading which many students often ask me on how to keep fit.
