Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have had relief teaching experience in the past spending a month at Ngee Ann Secondary teaching combined science. Informally, tutoring my sister through her O levels.
Upper secondary level - A Maths E Maths English Physics Physics/Chem
Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately. Will be one to one tuition. 1.5-2 hour sessions each time. I am indian if that is an issue.
Rapport Building
I plan to connect with my student's on a personal level. I have siblings around my target tutee group's age and i will be able to use that knowledge to connect with them. Parent's need not worry, I will not overstep my bounds and will be able to help them and convey information to them so they will understand how i am teaching and helping their child. Parent's worry that their child might not focus on their work or are wasting time, i feel that communicating with parents is crucial to a student's success.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have friends who are in NIE and several relatives who are teachers who are able to give me resources so i can keep abreast with the ever changing curriculum. It is very different from when i started out so as a tutor, the onus is on me to enure that i keep myself updated. The internet is a stable of resources to ensure i can keep up with the curriculum and educate myself on latest mathematical techniques.
As a Good Tutor
Effective communicator short and simple. Communication is key. Not only between myself and the student but with the parents as well. Uncertainty breeds mistrust and that is what will lead to a student's failure. Knowledge will not be a struggle, i am an undergraduate at this point it is not too difficult. The hard part is to convey it in a way that i do not come across as conceited but in an organic sense that the student can understand me. I will also be able to deliver assignments and helpful notes. Notes in particular can be useful as textbooks are unconcise, cluttered and incomprehensible for the most part. Handwritten, focused notes are my favourite way of studying and preparing.
