Currently I have 1year of tutoring experience, having taught my current tutee since last year. I try to make the extra effort to explain and clarify his doubts,
Upper secondary level - A Maths Chemistry E Maths Physics Physics/Chem
Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start ASAP. Weekends are fine with me. As for commitment, i am able to commit long term (1year++)
Rapport Building
I am a simple, friendly, down to earth person, and likes to chat. Usually i ask how my tutee is getting on with work, school or any interesting things happening in school as to get to know him/her better. You can also find some common topics other than work to chat with. It also creates a more relaxed atmosphere during the lesson, allowing the tutee to open up. I also usually chat with the parents, to get to know them better.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Currently i am in my 2nd year in NUS, studying Civil Engineering. In my course, there is constant use of curriculum incorporated with the new knowledge being taught. As a result, with constant use and practice, you become proficient and able to keep up with the curriculum. I also refer back to my old notes, or go to bookshops and skim through new textbooks to keep myself updated on the current curriculum.
As a Good Tutor
I like to use layman terms to explain, so that the tutee is able to see the everyday application of the knowledge. Good tutors also need to be proficient with the knowledge they are teaching
