Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have given private tuition for about 3 years and my experience is with upper primary students (P4-6) and helping them prepare for PSLE. I have also done contract relief teaching for 7 months in a Primary School in Yishun and taught English, Math and Science and I think I know the primary school syllabus well and have materials from various schools. I think I'm qualified because I can be a friend to the tutee but at the same time instil discipline and be a good tutor at the same time.

Rapport Building
I usually tell them more about myself and what I intend to do with their child. I also give updates on the student's progress and to let them know what we've done and learnt to keep them in the loop.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
My mother is a HOD in one of the primary schools so I check in with her to find out more about the syllabus. I have been tutoring for about 3 years so I'm familiar if the syllabus changes.
As a Good Tutor
I think having patience and also being a good friend to the student helps the student be warmer to you and make him want to do his best.

    Rapport Building
    I'm naturally casual and patient, thus I would strive to befriend the child in order for the child to enjoy every minute of learning.
    Positive and progressive results would then tend to follow suit.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I do keep up with the Curriculum of the education system of Singapore.
    Plus, I would keep it simple for students by being flexible to the methods and approaches that they feel most comfortable with.
    However I am ready to introduce smart shortcuts for them to effectively and efficiently utilise during their examinations.
    Exam papers are also practiced regularly to brush up on the child's revisions.
    As a Good Tutor
    Exceptionally casual and friendly towards the child, so as to build a good positive bond with the child.
    This is important so as to allow the child to be inclined and motivated towards his subjects.
    From the increasing passion of the child for the subject, positive progressive results would follow suit.
    However I always draw a clear line of discipline.
    I don't 'mould' the child, I only guide and coach for the child to reach into their potential.

        Tuition/Teaching Experience
        I have been giving english tuition for a year. My past students were from a neighbourhood tuition centre that was held in a church. Classes were held weekly and my students were aged from 13-18 years old. I held classes that touched bases on the different components of the english language (composition writing, letter writing, oral practice, comprehension, grammar and vocabulary).

        My experience also comes from the current students that I am teaching. I currently have both local and foreign students. I have helped my foreign and local students pass their entrance exams (AEIS) and GCE O level english exams. You can be assured that I am extremely familiar with the syllabus for both local and foreign students in Singapore.

        Commitment / Other Details
        My teaching method that has helped my students improve is patience. Many of my students came to me with sub-par results. They fall behind in school because their teachers rush to finish the syllabus in order to kick start the revision for the O levels. My slow but steady teaching method has helped my tutees analyse their weaknesses and strengths in the language. By breaking down their weak components, we were then able to tackle these weaknesses one by one.

        I understand that mastering a language is daunting and challenging. But as long as both tutee and tutor work hard together, success can definitely be achieved.

        I can start as soon as possible. Preferably Monday-Thursdays, timings are flexible. Sat/Sun mornings & early afternoons are good as well.
        Rapport Building
        Rapport building is important as it helps the tutor and child understand each other better. As a tutor, I will strive to understand what my tutee's strengths and weaknesses are. This would enable me to employ specific teaching techniques to tap into his strengths and to build up his weaknesses.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I frequent the bookstores to check up on the latest curriculum. I also exchange new information with some of my other tutor friends.
        As a Good Tutor
        I believe I have the patience and understanding to be a good tutor. Patience is key as the tutee may not be able to grasp new concepts quickly - this is where I have to slow down and explain the concepts again.

        I will talk to my students' parents about their weaknesses in school so as to build them up in terms of confidence in their school work and the subjects that they have trouble with. I will also have in-depth conversations with my students to understand them better and to bond with them on a teacher-student level so that they will feel comfortable enough to want to learn even more. Ultimately, my goal is for my students to enjoy the learning process and for their parents to see the outcome.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I frequent local bookstores and browse through assessment books and textbooks to familiarise myself with the content so that I'll be able to impart relevant knowledge to my students.

            I intend to teach tuition part-time throughout my three years in university and perhaps even after that depending on the circumstances at that time.
            Rapport Building
            For the younger students in kindergarden or nursery, I send video clips of the students engaging in classroom activities to their respective parents if said lessons do not take place in the student's house to ensure that parents would be aware of what their children are learning in class. I also provide a weekly report to each parent on their child's progress and methods and suggestions on how parents can help their child learn in the comforts of their home to ensure that learning is a daily process with the parents and I working together to aid the child's growth.

            For older students in primary or secondary school, I communicate with the parents of the students regularly to ensure that they are aware of their child'd progress.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            As a Good Tutor
            Patience and the willingness to try out new methods of learning are two important qualities that I believe are befitting of a good tutor.

            Commitment / Other Details
            Able to start immediately. But depending on the university timetable, I will still be able to take out time in a week for the tutee.
            Rapport Building
            I will normally get to know them personally, instead of treating tuition as a transaction. Through this, i think that one will be able to educate more effectively and the tutee will be more keen in learning
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            I have a younger sibling in upper secondary, and i will constantly look through the textbooks and aid her in her subjects to see if anything has changed.
            As a Good Tutor
            I think the basic qualities of a good tutor is to be patient and the ability to interest the tutee in learning.
