I have taught in a primary school for the past 6 years. I have taught from P2-P5 levels as a form teacher teaching mainly English and Science. As a teacher, I am also heavily involved in school conducting coaching classes for P6 pupils taking their PSLE.
I have been tutoring for the past 3 years on English/Maths/Science. I mainly teach pupils from P3-P6.
I am able to start ASAP. I am available Mondays to Thursdays 5-9pm, Fridays 6-9pm. For weekends, I am available from 9-6pm.
Rapport Building
With pupils, I would build a rapport by having motivational talks with the pupils. My main aim is to get the pupils to understand that my job is to help them improve in their studies such that they could attain a better grade to move up to a better class or school after their PSLE.
I would also play games with them (handphone, boardgames etc) to break the ice and get to know them better.
I normally would give my contact details to the pupils so that they know that if they have a problem with their work, I am a call or message away.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As a teacher, I have to be updated with the curriculum. The various workshops that my school conducted keep me abreast with the latest.
As a Good Tutor
A tutor should be patient. I personally believe a good tutor is not one to rush through topics but one who is able to focus on the weaknesses of a pupils for a particular topic and guide him/her till he/she is able to attempt such topics with ease.
