Commitment / Other Details

Rapport Building
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.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
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.
As a Good Tutor
The child's needs and learning style is my focus, individualised process is crucial, results will come naturally after those.

    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.

        Rapport Building
        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.
        As a Good Tutor
        I enjoy teaching in general, which I feel is important to ensure that I remain patient and sincere in helping my students in their academics.

              Am patient and good with children. Have been tutored by experienced MOE teachers during my primary and secondary schooling. Hence, will be able to provide students with a similar experience. Will constantly update the child's parents about progress and also inform them about my planned approaches with their kids, especially during exam period.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              Will go through the syllabus topic by topic and focus on revision during exam period. Will also provide past year papers for students to practice as a form of revision. I will aid students with their school homework as well when necessary and go through any doubts.
              As a Good Tutor
              I will ensure that students gain a full understanding of questions and topics, and be sure to emphasise and spend more time on their weaker topics. Am willing to patiently explain and go through questions multiple times until the student fully understands and does not have any doubts.

                  Commitment / Other Details
                  With me as a tutor I would ensure that I can bring out the best of potential in my students to the best of my abilities. I would see that they make gradual improvements and that they enjoy the lesson.
                  Rapport Building
                  I would ensure that I remain contactable as much as possible and also seek to understand my student strength and weaknesses. By comprehending their weaknesses, I would be able to assess them better and at the same time help them to acknowledge that it is alright to have these weaknesses as long as it is ironed out. I would always communicate with the student's parents to enable them to keep up to date with their child progress under my tutoring.

                  As a Good Tutor
                  Good tutors should always be responsive when their students are in need of help and they should be able to help identify the students weaknesses over time. They should also be understanding and patience as every student have different speed at which they pick up new knowledge so they should not be rushing their students to absorb new materials. A good tutor should also be able to be strict and lenient with their students at appropriate timing so as to allow the students to understand that they are their friends but at some point of time when work needs to be done they should listen and not constantly be too friendly with the tutor.
