I have tried private tutoring my cousins before. My style of teaching is more about sharing the studying tips that were useful to me. My cousins find that it helped them study more easily.

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to commit at least until the end of 2020.
Rapport Building
Days before the tutoring session, I will WhatsApp the parents a summary of what I will be teaching their child. If the child is older I hope that I will have the student's contact number so that he or she can WhatsApp me any doubts that he or she have regarding their school work. With that, I will be able to prepare for the sessions beforehand to ensure that the time we have together is efficiently spent. If he or she do not have any doubts I will just find questions for him or her to practice on topics that he or she is weaker in. From there I will be able to clear any doubts that they did not even know existed. At the same time if the parents want to be updated with the tutoring sessions I will send them a summary of the upcoming sessions.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
To keep myself updated with the curriculum I will first thoroughly read through the SEAB syllabus document to ensure that the content I will be teaching is in sync with the school. I will also look for assessment books from reliable sources if not past year paper to ensure that the content that I will be teaching is relevant.
As a Good Tutor
I love interacting with children. I enjoy how satisfying it is to inspire them or successfully help them in their studies. With such passion and drive, I will be able to patiently teach the student to successfully clear his or her doubts. As a tutor, I would want to pass down the studying tips that I used a student that were very helpful to me. For example, coming up with stories that link to a concept to help me understand and remember it. I would hope to phrase concepts that they find abstract or hard to remember in ways that they can absorb quickly and easily. Lastly, as a good tutor, I hope to inspire every single one of my student to enjoy learning and thus studying. If not at least not hate studying.
