Commitment / Other Details
Once I accept an offer, I will commit, and will be glad to help the student for as long as he/she requires my assistance.

MY TUTORING APPROACH:
From my very own experience, children tend to just learn by heart without understanding anything. They only want to have good results to make their parents happy. But sooner or later, they will forget everything, which is not a good way to score. My way of teaching will be to ensure that I am having a 99% (if not 100%) attention from the student, and to confirm that he/she is understanding what am saying, I will, from time to time, get him/her to explain to me what they have just learnt. Apart from that, motivating the children through some sort of games may help a lot, to break the monotony of learning through books only. If the children enjoy it, they will, in some ways, look forward to the next tuition class to learn more. They will also be more open, which will help me understand them better. Whereever possible, I will try to teach them in the most interacting way, whereby they may find the answer before I give it to them. And this is something they will hardly forget and one of the best ways to learn.
