Helping others has always been my passion, and as such I have taught both children and youth aged between 7- 16 on a volunteer-basis in Cambodia. As for paid stints, I've had three students so far as that is the maximum capacity I can take while doing my day-time job well. Of these, one was a Primary 2 boy. I was able to improve his grade from an F to a C within 2 months. The other two were Secondary 3 girls whom I taught A/E Maths. The girls have just completed their O Levels this year, and we shall have to wait for their final results come January. Meanwhile, they have managed to bring their Grades up from E to B for their Preliminaries.
I am based in Singapore and as such, will be able to commit at least a full calendar year. Frequency depends on the student's needs.

Keeping Up with Curriculum
As a Good Tutor
I am confident in my ability to teach. Having completed my University Education, I know exactly how it's like to be a student and feel overwhelmed with massive amounts of information to absorb. My philosophy as your tutor or your child's tutor is simple. I don't want to teach what is just on paper. I believe that as a student, the most important skill one can learn is to learn HOW TO LEARN. If you can master this skill and condense information well, your life as a student will be smooth-sailing. You will no longer merely memorize information and reproduce them during exams. Rather, you will be able to extract yourself from the content you are learning, and make studying both a meaningful and exciting journey. I pride myself on genuinely caring for my students and teaching them in ways that they best grasp informtation well. My wish for them is that they develop a love, hunger, excitement and vigor for learning new things (even outside the classroom!). If I succeed in this, for me, it would be the most satisfying during my stint as their tutor.
