I am a NTU Engineering graduate with 1 year of full time and 2 years part time experience in a tuition centre and in private tuition with 12 tutees. I believe every student is unique and have their own ways of learning and my goal is to help them find the best way to learn.

Average grade improvements of students are 3 to 4 grades or more at the mininum, such as from a 'U' to an 'C'

I would usually gauge the student's school materials before recommending additional materials such as assessment books or learning materials

I have mainly taught in Combined Sciences and Humanities and Additional as well as Elementary Mathematics to students by grasping on concepts and structuring arguments respectively.

I am able to teach on Zoom for online assignments

    As a Good Tutor
    The qualities of a good tutor lies in the tutor's abilities to give a more focused and customised lesson suited towards their individual students.

    I strongly believe that each child has the potential to succeed, no matter which grade they are currently at. With small improvements everyday, an individual will be able to excel.

        Teaching involves the overall development of Children. I am trained to coach a child from Early Childhood to JC level although my focus is on Early Childhood and lower primary children. I have experience with Dyslexia because 2 of my 5 children are dyslexic. Both are accomplished in their further education in University and Polytechnic. Honest communication of the individual needs of children is important for me to customise teaching approaches with children.

        My mind is set on meeting the needs of each child based on his/her learning ability and curve while keeping in line with the requirements of the curriculum.

          Able to start in November 2021, group tuition will preferably be held at in the east on weekends, or where convenient for all parties (students and myself). I am committed to long-term assignments.
          Rapport Building
          I keep in touch with younger students' parents frequently, including providing updates in the student notebook on learning outcomes and homework. I expect students to be transparent with both myself and their parents and be willing to ask where they need help, and hence to do this, I foster and environment of mutual trust and understanding. I reward hard work and improvements necessarily, applying educational and motivational psychology concepts I learn and pick up as a Psychology undergraduate in NUS. Therefore, I balance firmness with patience and gentleness, never defaulting to scolding or reprimanding if the student is visibly putting in effort. I believe I adopt a fair and nurturing pedagogy, helping students to understand content but also to develop personal responsibility through empowerment and encouragement.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          Aside from downloading syllabi from the MOE websites, I revisit assessment books and take note of question trends that seem to repeat across the board. Because learning is not only about the curriculum and syllabus, it is important to understand the reasons for why certain types of questions or problem sums become popular. Most of the time, there is an underlying aim to instil a particular cognitive skill, which I then harness into my students, such as by teaching them meta-thinking skills and analytical thinking.
          As a Good Tutor
          A good tutor understands the learning processes of a student. As a tutor who has been teaching for 1.5 years, I learn to pick up the habits and learning styles of individual students and cater to them. Some students are able to take firmer and sometimes harsher tones from me, whereas some need more caring attitudes. I adjust my demeanour accordingly.
          Not all students come from good family backgrounds and therefore I have learnt to extend compassion and understanding towards more academically-disinclined students. I do this by applying concepts from education and motivational psychology, acknowledging their need for more guidance and supervision.
          Understanding the types of thinking skills needed to be inculcated in each student individually helps to cater the tutoring best for them. I believe that a good tutor is able to pick up the needs of students through their interactions and through behavioural observation and inferring from students' mistakes where they need more help.

              I will check in with my students between classes and share any materials which I feel might be helpful for the subject matter that I'm tutoring him/her on. Typically, I try to build a bond with the student by keeping the mood more casual, which helps the student to open up and be more comfortable in asking questions when in doubt.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              I regularly update myself on the syllabus and also check in with my students on the progress of their subject in school. This helps to ensure that I am effectively supporting them in the learning of new topics and practising the more difficult topics as well.
