Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have given relief teaching at primary school before, hence I know how to handle primary school kids.
Normally, I would teach according to the learning capability of the student. During my first few lessons with the students, I would usually give them a small quiz to gauge their understanding of the syllabus. Thereafter I will re-enforce on those topics which the students are weak at. To do so, I will search for assessment books for the students to practice on and then go through with them. Nearing the examination periods, I will look for examination papers to give them timed-practice and grading them as well.
I am patient and fluent, if students do not understand my method of explanation, I would use another method to get through to them.

Commitment / Other Details
So far, my achievement is to make a Primary 5 girl who failed her Mathematics passed her year end Mathematics paper. This is possible only through drilling her with many exercises and making her memorize the multiplication table. I have taken Higher Chinese in secondary school and have got a B3 grade for it, hence I believe I am able to invoke interest in Primary school students who do not do well in their Chinese to work hard and score.

Currently I am waiting for part time degree at uniSIM to commence, hence I am looking for many part time tutoring jobs to earn an extra income. I am free on most weekdays night and weekends day to give tuition since I have not started my school yet.
