I have been peer tutoring students from Kent Ridge Secondary School and have experience in teaching Mathematics for about 2 years. I have passion in Mathematics and sincerely hope that every student under me will be able to love Math after my coaching. I believe that for them to do so, it is important to make the subject fun, and help them to do well so they feel a sense of achievement whenever they are doing the subject. As such, I let students practise more Math problems. Now, I am coaching a Sec 2 IP girl Math and a P1 girl Math. I will decide the pace of the lesson based on their speed of learning and I have my own materials (in terms of worksheets and learning aid) to help students' learning.
International Baccalaureate - Further Math Mathematics
University Entry Exams - SAT1 Mathematics
Commitment / Other Details
I am now awaiting for Uni to start. I am able to commit for a longer term if the tuition assignments are held on the weekends. As long as the student is comfortable with my teaching, I promise that I will not cancel or keep changing tuition slots that will affect students' learning.
I am able to start immediately and hope for assignments around the Northeast area.
Rapport Building
I update parents about their students' progress at the end of each lesson to help them keep track of their children's learning. For students, I believe rapport building is very important so I will keep track of their academic progress (in terms of quizzes and assignments they have done in school). I encourage students to do better in each quiz by setting attainable goals for them and give them words of encouragement every time they do a question well.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I visit the bookshop often and ensure that I am up-to-the-date with the syllabus and use the students' textbooks to monitor my tutoring pace.
As a Good Tutor
I manage the time well and split the 1.5h lesson into 2 parts: one for students to ask me questions from their school workload/to clarify mistakes they have done in the past homework I have assigned them and the other half for me to teach content/drill more questions/ revise past year's work.
I believe that is an important quality. Besides, a tutor must be patient, gentle and encouraging and be a good role model for their students.
