I am a very patient teacher. Each teacher has a particular way of teaching. For me, it starts with discipline. With that, results will follow. At least, that is what I believe in. For the first few lessons, I will gauge the child's capabilities and their behavior. After which, I will discuss with parents on targets and methods. I would prefer to work hand in hand with parents as this will bring about better and faster improvements.
I have taught at Nascans. It is a student care centre. I have taken big classes and difficult students as well. I took Upper Primary students at that time and the students had many improvements in their English and Math. Parents loved it there and I had a name for myself there even now. Then I taught Cognitive where its a tuition center for special needs kids. 80% of my students had at least 1 grade jump for English and Math. I have taught more than 100 students so far.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I am a very straight forward teacher. I will tell parents what is the issues and we will work together to improve the student. Its for the child's own good. I am also very patient and offer extra homework. I am always contactable 24/7 for questions and answers. Since I am very passionate in teaching, I will provide as much help as I can. This would include extra lessons and more homework.

      Rapport Building
      Besides tutoring, I will try to connect with tutees by having conversations with them to better gain their trust, and also understand their strengths, needs and concerns. I also believe it is crucial that we set small goals as stepping stones to achieve their ultimate aim, e.g. achieving a certain grade in the subject. I will also provide regular feedback to parents when necessary to ensure that parents are kept in the loop about their child's learning.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      I am currently a JC1 student who is very familiar with the recent O Level curriculum, especially for Science and Math subjects. Having been through the curriculum, I am aware of its demands and rigour, and I believe with my results, I will be able to guide tutees to effectively manage their revision and grasp critical concepts in preparing for tests and examinations.
      As a Good Tutor
      Patience and empathy are qualities that are of paramount importance. Besides providing support in the academic aspect, a good tutor should be encouraging and tirelessly guide students, not giving up on them throughout, until they can achieve mastery. Moreover, a tutor should be knowledgeable about the subject matter to effectively impart relevant knowledge to tutees.

        I will first talk to the parents to understand their worries and then talk to the students to understand their learning methods while give advices on how they can work on it. Not only that, I do message my students to ask about their well-being and progress in terms of their studies, and sometimes learning more about their goals in life other than just academics. Sometimes, I would buy some treats for my students to encourage them to work harder on their studies.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        As a Good Tutor
        Making lessons engaging is the basic quality of good tutors, as lessons can be dry from time to time. As such, building up the interest of students in learning is of paramount importance in terms of becoming better in their academics and their crave for knowledge, since lifelong learning is an essential habit in order to survive in the working society. Secondly, patience is another important virtue for tutors. As students can be confused when learning new topics that can rather hard to grasp at first, thus tutors have to be more patient in terms of repeating themselves or find other methods to help their students in their learning. Lastly, passion. Tutors should be passionate about teaching as their attitude towards teaching can have a big impact on their students' learning - whether or not it makes them look forward to wanting to know more about the subjects.

            I do prefer 1.5 hour, 1 on 1 lessons but I am flexible. Upon agreement, I will be able to begin immediately and as long as our lessons are consistent, I see no reason to stop teaching.
            Rapport Building
            I have been tutoring since I myself was a student. While I have had other jobs, tutoring is the only one that I have done consistently all these years. Currently I am in my 30s. That is many years of experience.

            When I started tutoring, it was only part-time. When I first started, I was in Singapore Polytechnic. I stopped teaching for 2 years while I served my National Service in the Singapore Coast Guard but resumed once I went back out into the working world. After not being happy going to work every single day, I decided to quit my full-time job to pursue being a freelance, full-time tutor. That was 5 years ago now.

            A common question I get is if I do enjoy teaching so much, why not become a full-fledged MOE teacher? Financial issues from my younger days aside, I truly enjoy the flexibility of the freelance lifestyle.

            My flexible schedule can be to your advantage as well. Need to move a lesson this week to another day? If I have a slot, no problem. Want extra lessons because exams are coming up? If I have the slot why not?

            I feel that learning should be a part of life, not something extra that one is forced to do. That's how I approach tutoring. Calm, relaxed but firm when I need to be.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            I have no issues with keeping up with the curriculum. As I had mentioned above, I have been a full-time tutor for 5 years now. I have seen the Primary and Secondary school curriculums shift and change.

            Honestly, a curriculum is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the understanding of the subject matter. For example, if you've spent years doing one job and you're suddenly forced to switch to a completely different sector, you're not actually starting from scratch. You still have all your life experiences. Your understanding of how a workplace operates, your understanding of people's behaviours, your understanding of how technology works. Understanding the idea behind something means you will never have to start from scratch.
            As a Good Tutor
            Tutoring is different from being a school teacher. A school teacher teaches the way they are taught to teach. With a standard that somebody else has made up with completely no understanding of a student as an individual. That's not their fault; it's just how the system is.

            Being a tutor to me doesn't mean being a teacher. Being a tutor means being a puzzle solver. Each individual student is a puzzle that I have to solve. The way I teach one student very rarely is the same way that I teach another.

            More than that, being a tutor (especially at my age) probably means being the first adult outside of a child's family to have a personal relationship with that student. This is a responsibility that I do not overlook and I am very open with parents regarding any issues that their child might have.
