Commitment / Other Details
I am able to fully commit to the student's learning for the entire year of 2017.
Rapport Building
I believe a tutor should teach using a different method from what the student learns in school; why hire a tutor just to repeat what has already been taught? This way, the student learns multiple approaches to solve problems/tackle assignments.

I do my best to make learning as fun as possible; playing word games, writing essays on the students' hobbies, or even using props and toys for younger students. I also believe in giving short breaks throughout the lesson to keep the student fresh.

I like to give a bit of homework, as well as conduct short quizzes/tests at the end of each lesson. This way, the student will not forget what has previously been taught.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Past-year papers, novels, mind maps, as well as various supplementary material (assessment books etc).
