Commitment / Other Details
Starting from 2nd March, I will be able to commit to my students until the completion of their IB/ O'level programme.
Rapport Building
I believe in open communication with both students and parents. Ultimately, my purpose is to help the child, so I will do whatever necessary to ensure that they and their parents are comfortable. Depending on the child's age, I will send updates to their parents and to the child as well so that they can monitor their progress.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As someone who just graduated from IB, the curriculum is still freshly in my head. I also have a gauge of secondary curriculum as my siblings have just completed their O' levels and I assisted them in their studies. Additionally, I confer with school teachers and other tutors to ensure my understanding of the curriculum is updated. When the curriculum changes, as it recently did for the History O' level curriculum, I not only checked the MOE website to see if the learning objectives changed, I also purchased school textbooks to read up on the new topics.
As a Good Tutor
Good tutors are ones that help the child to enjoy learning, while still maintaining a balance between fun and diligence. I was lucky to have tutors that I was able to connect and build a rapport with, but we knew when to study and be serious. Hence, I aim to promote genuine interest in the subject I teach, but also push my students to do their best. I myself strive for excellence, and I endure to help my students reach their maximum potential.
