Rapport Building
I will try to make the learning less draining and more engaging by introducing them to the different learning methods and finding what learning style suits them best. I can build rapport with my students by understanding from them what they think are the difficult parts which they do not understand and patiently teach and clarify their doubts. However, if i find that they are weaker on a certain component, i will emphasise on that component to help them and improve their skills on that component even if they're less likely to enjoy it. I can build rapport with their parents by understanding from them how their children usually study and how they approach their school work. Also i can keep track of their progress in school by finding out more from the parents like how well their kids are fairing in school tests and exams.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I can keep up with the curriculum by going on to the MOE site to look at the syllabus and what is required of the students in each subject. Also, as i have younger cousins and siblings that are currently still in primary schools and secondary schools, i can find out more about the syllabus from them.
As a Good Tutor
The basic qualities of a good tutor would definitely be the qualities of being patient and understanding. As each session of home tutoring is approximately 2 hours, this would mean that the student would have to spend at least 2hours of undivided attention on their work which might be taxing at times. The students may get lethargic and lose their focus on their work after a long day at school and hence teaching them and trying to help them absorb more would require patience and understanding from us the tutors. Furthermore, to be a good tutor, without patience and understanding, we might get frustrated at the students which is not healthy for both the tutor and student and hence it is important to not lose patience with the students. I am confident that i can be a patient and responsible tuition teacher as i have a passion for teaching smaller kids and letting them understand the importance of education and make them love the subject more so that it will be more enjoyable for their learning. Also, to be a good tutor would mean that the students trust you wholeheartedly for you to take charge of their learning and i believe that i can do a good job in that as i am friendly and approachable and hence the students will not be too shy to ask me any questions or any doubts that they might have.
