Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have been teaching home tuition for the past 2 years, for secondary 2 and secondary 3. Subjects i have taught are physics, chemistry, a.maths and e.maths. I am currently tutoring 3 students, teaching sec 3 maths and science (phy/Chem) and sec 4 E maths.
Lower secondary level - English Mathematics Science
Upper secondary level - A Maths E Maths Physics
Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately, however tuition timings need to adhere to my university schedule. I am willing to commit to a tuition assignment for a full year, and may consider to continue tutoring when the student starts a new year too. All weekday evenings are alright, except for wednesdays. I am available during weekends too. I may need to hold make up lessons during the week that i have my exams or tests.
Rapport Building
First of all, i make sure to report on time and start work as soon as possible. I build rapport with the student by understanding his/her individual needs and building confidence in their subjects by giving encouragement. I try to connect with them as much as i can; i am their tutor but i also want to be their friend, who is sincere in helping them to improve in areas that they need.
I build rapport with parents by giving feedback about their children after the tutoring session. I share with them their child's strengths and weaknesses, and also how they can assist me in playing a part in their child's improvement in the subject.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I refer to the current textbooks and assessment books to keep up with the curriculum. I also research on the updates of the syllabus of the subjects which i teach.
As a Good Tutor
As a good tutor, i believe that all students have great potential. I believe in order to achieve maximum improvement and achieve great results, there must be the crucial cooperation and teamwork between the tutor and the tutee. I am willing to work hard to adhere to my tutee's needs, but I strongly believe that the tutee must put in a substantial amount of hard work in order to see results too. As a good tutor i make sure i give lots of encouragement to my tutee and recognize their efforts and progress no matter how small they are. This is because I have once been a student before and i know what it's like to hear from a teacher that i am making progress despite my current grade to be low.
To sum up, i believe that the first step to being a good tutor is to have faith in my students, and have the end in mind. It may seem like a long journey to achieve the desired results, but with persistent hard work and determination of both tutor and tutee, the results are guaranteed.
