Tuition/Teaching Experience: Even though I do not have any formal teaching or tutoring background, I am confident that I can engage my student and impart subject knowledge systematically to my student, especially on subjects that I am truly passionate about. I have conducted peer tutoring and taught as a childcare centre for a community project before and these experiences gave me a clear idea of my teaching style when it comes to 1-to-1 tutoring. I have benefited from my previous tutors' teaching style and their patient guidance and I hope that my future student will be able to benefit from my teaching as well and learn as much as possible during their course of study.

Tutoring Subjects

Commitment / Other Details: I am currently an undergraduate at NUS. Even though I have to attend school, my timetable is flexible so I am ready to start tutoring immediately. I am planning to commit to tutor assignments for 3 years, complete my course of study during the fourth year and perhaps continue with tutoring even after I graduate.

Rapport Building: I have a good affinity with children (below 12), probably because of the frequent interactions with my younger cousins and neighbours that I get. There are times where coaxing works best and there are times where I have a be firm to get my idea across. It also dependent on the nature of their character I guess. To my younger students, I would like to view them as my younger siblings when guiding them through their work.

As for older students (12 and above), I would treat them as my peers instead. It is more likely for them to trust me and better absorb my teaching if they see me as a friend rather than a tutor, which often has a strict connotation to it and this may slightly affect the students' learning if they are not comfortable around me.

I admit that I do not have much experience when dealing with parents, but as much as possible, I will try my best to put myself in their shoes and acknowledge any concerns that they may have regarding their children's performances.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: I understand that the syllabus changes throughout the year and what I have learnt in school may not be applicable to my current students. Firstly, I will always consolidate with my students on how their syllabus is like and at which stage is their curriculum. I can always retrieve the syllabus from the MOE website, however, in the event that my student is unaware of their progress, I will remind them constantly to take note of their progress in school prior to the tuition day. With all the information I need, I will then create a timetable for us, me to keep track of my teaching progress and my student to prepare in advance and catch up with the learning process.

As a Good Tutor: To me, the most important quality of a tutor is to believe that every student have the ability to acquire knowledge, regardless of their pace of learning and their willingness to learn. Thus, it will be my job to be patient and accommodate to my students' learning pace and make my teaching engaging so that they are willing to learn. This is when other qualities of a good tutor sets in. A good tutor should always have faith in their student.
