Tuition Background
Part-Time
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have 2 years of tutoring experience, teaching primary and lower secondary maths. My tutoring style is very subjective and I only start making lessons plan after 1 lesson with my student, allowing me to understand their strengths/weaknesses before I decide on the best way to help them improve. Thus, I believe I am able to help any student improve, regardless of their foundations in the subject.
Lower secondary level - Geography History Mathematics
Upper secondary level - A Maths E Maths History Social Studies
Junior college level - Economics Maths
Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start tuition starting April 2016 and will be able to commit until 2019, when I graduate from university.
Currently, I am organizing a group tuition session for lower secondary maths every Tuesday at 730pm at a rental classroom near Woodlands MRT. The rate is $20/h per student.
Rapport Building
As a student tutor, not only do I teach my students the subjects I'm ask to, I'm also willing to act as a mentor for my students. Should they require help (coping with CCA/studies, problems with friends etc), they can look for me for advice even outside tuition hours and I will try my best to help them. This way, not only will I be able to understand my students more, but they will be more willing to trust and listen to me.
For parents wise, I always keep them updated with my lesson plans and their child improvements. Once I decided on the best way to tutor a student, I will talk to his/her parents, identifying the student's strengths/weakness and how can improvements be made.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
First and foremost, I always look at recent examinations papers (State exams, school exams, new assessment books etc) and check out the marking and answering scheme. With that in mind, I will have a better understanding of what an examiner want to see in the answers during exams. This will help me tutor students on how to properly answer questions during exams.
For content, I always make sure to check for any syllabus changes and do my own pre-tuition studying
