Usually able to start within a week, can commit for as long as needed.
Rapport Building
Before the 1st lesson, I'll usually have a chat with the student and parents to discuss and understand the student's needs. To help the parents understand their kids better, I'll also provide updates on the student's progress.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I read the latest textbooks and assessment books, and speak to friends who are current MOE school teachers. Other than that, I also read books and articles on teaching and child psychology.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor is patient and can personalise his/her teaching style to suit the student's and parents' needs.
