Commitment / Other Details

Rapport Building
When I was a classroom teacher, I could communicate with my students on various topics that interest them - computer games, CCAs, BGR, social issues and even on career options. My 2018 batch of students invited my out to Seoul Garden restaurant last year on National Day's eve (8th August 2019) to thank me for their stellar N level results, for helping them to continue to go up to Sec 5 to do O level, proving that my two years with them (Sec 3 and 4) were very rewarding and engaging with them. Basically talk with them to better understand their needs and concerns, listen with empathy but refrain from making any judgments.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Fully aware (and had formal training updates) on the 2010 English syllabus and exam questions (its first exam was 2013). Every year, I was tasked with compilation of the cluster school exam papers so I am kept abreast of paper format and question types.
As a Good Tutor
Listen with empathy to what my student's concerns are and addressed them adequately, most important is to give them the confidence to do well in their exams.
