          Taught a friend's cousin for 1 year prior to her O'lvl. I taught her Combined Sciences and E-maths. Also, at home, I helped my younger brothers with their work when they were still in secondary school.

          I am a patient person and enjoy teaching others when I am able. I will answer any sorts of question the student may ask. I believe it is important that a student should improve in his work but also his attitude towards it.

            3) I am also on the look-out for group tuition sessions. (This actually helps to save money for the students since the costs will be spread out among the students)

            For group tuition sessions, I'm available in the evening from Mon - Thurs & in the morning/afternoon on weekends.
            Rapport Building
            In order to allow the students to improve in their studies, I feel that there's a need to have a bond between the tutor and the parents. Tutor may help to solve the child's queries and teach them more knowledge. However, there's a need for the tutor to update the parents on the status of the child's learning after each tuition session. Besides that, there's a need to advise on the parents' role in the child's learning journey.

            There's also a need to maintain a good relationship with the students.
            Tutors may be strict. However, being friends with the students may be an alternative option.
            This would mean that the tutor is more approachable and there may not be a gap.
            In other words, should the student face any difficulty, they will just ask the tutor without any hesitations.

The best student that I have taught, managed to improve 5 grades for his A-Maths, from C6 to A2 by the end of the year. I am willing to give my students extra lesson no matter how busy I am as I really want to see improvement at the end of the day.

              Commitment / Other Details
              I am an undergraduate studying full-time at the Singapore Management University. Hence, my timetable is rather flexible to play around. However, I would prefer to start after 19 August. I will definitely stay with the student until the end of the academic year unless there are exceptional cases.
              Rapport Building
              I will give them my handphone number at the very first lesson. I always love to receive calls from my students, asking me how to solve any questions, no matter what time it is. I believe, through this, my students will be able to do their work at anytime and can look for me once they are stuck with any questions. As for building rapport with their parents? I will message the progress of the student to the parent once in a while and feedback to them whether their children are doing well or doing badly.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              To keep up with curriculum, I expect my students to finish all the homework that I have given them, to do the week before. I always feel that practicing is very important and emphasise on this very much. Hence, I would always jot down their homework on a notebook and expect them refer and complete it by the next lesson. Otherwise, they will be 'punished' with more work to do. This has been really effective for my previous students. Sometimes, I do get help from their parents to supervise their children on doing their homework before tuition so that we will not waste too much tuition time doing homework that should be done at home.
              As a Good Tutor
              As a good tutor, I listen to my students' troubles and problems. I was a student before and I empathise them. Hence, sometimes I will cut down on their workload for tuition. I always believe that practise makes perfect. So, I will still hand them homework but maybe not a lot. This is for exceptional cases too.
