Tuition/Teaching Experience
I've tutored students ranging from Secondary to Junior College levels, to great effect, with 75% of them improving two grades or more. I have also under my belt, a year of experience in relief teaching in secondary schools.

As for qualifications not including my examination results, I have been awarded the Tan Kok Ngiap Memorial Award in 2007 for graduating as the top Combined Sciences student in Catholic High School.

I prefer to engage in interactive learning with the student, frequently involving the student in the discussions and learning process. Also, I bring in various fresh perspectives to the topic at hand, thereby introducing to the student new methods and ways to counter the difficulties in learning the subject. These methods have since been proven effective.
