I have tutored four primary school students in English and Mathematics over the past year, and have seen their grades improve by a range of 5-10 marks from the time I started teaching them to when the teaching stint ended/the present. Regarding the medium of instruction, I am effectively bilingual and can tutor in both English and Chinese, and have done so in the past. Currently, I am tutoring one Primary 5 boy (English) and one JC2 Student (China Studies in English).

Commitment / Other Details
I thoroughly enjoy teaching and have a particular proclivity for teaching English and the humanities. Regarding English, especially, I have taken part in and won awards at several creative writing competitions, such as the 2010 Word Flow! Poetry Competition (1st), Commonwealth Essay Competition (2011 Special Award for Creative Writing; 2012 Gold Award) and the Writing the City Migrant Stories Competition (1st). I would be most glad to take on students who wish to improve their creative writing.
I have studied the piano up to the Grade 8 level and achieved a Merit at the ABRSM Examinations, and would gladly teach piano at the beginner to intermediate level, or just as a leisure activity.
Rapport Building
I always ensure that I update parents on the students' situation, and keep a steady stream of communication with both students and their parents.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Before taking on a new student, I always familiarise myself with the updates in the syllabus of the subject being taught.
As a Good Tutor
To remember that you are committing to a student, and not just to a job or two hours a week.
