Rapport Building
I try to tailor lessons to the individual student's ability as far as possible. I bring to the table advice from my own teachers which have helped me attain 7 distinctions at the GCE A levels, got me into law school, and eventually earned me a scholarship at NTU. I believe that my years in legal education have trained me to think critically, a skill I hope to pass on to my students. My training in journalism has also taught me felicity and precision in word choice. I mark very meticulously, so students' work will usually come back covered in red, but they should not be disheartened because despite pointing out errors, I dispense praise generously as well. For students learning English as a second language, I do incorporate games such as Taboo into lesson time to help make the language more enjoyable.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have not stopped teaching since I left my junior college, and so am in constant contact with the current curriculum.
As a Good Tutor
Good tutors should be reliable, sensitive, and able to adapt. They should make the subject come alive. They should be neither overly strict nor laissez-faire. They should recognise the occasions where departures from the syllabus are necessary to further develop the student's abilities. They should also be able to spot errors in questions and answer keys.
