Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately and come multiple times a week, if need be, should the student need urgent help.
Rapport Building
I generally am of amiable nature, and like to find out more about my student before trying to teach them. Each student learns differently and I intend to find out how they learn best before I try any method of teaching. I also like to make sure they enjoy the subject they are studying and ensure that the student comes out of my lessons with an actual understanding as opposed to mere memorization just to pass a test/exam.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will own the necessary and most updated versions of each subjects textbooks to ensure I am fully immersed in the student's current curriculum. I also still possess my University textbooks which provide a great source of self-revision.
As a Good Tutor
Building a good/friendly relationship with students is imperative to me. From experience, I learn better from teachers who are easy to approach.
Understanding how each student learns is also important as one method of teaching may not work on every student.
Lastly, but extremely importantly, patience is key. Every student learns at their own pace and I intend to work according to them.
