      Tuition/Teaching Experience
      I have had one year of formal experience teaching/tutoring students at the secondary school level in Chemistry and Physics, in group and one-to-one arrangements. I have also done informal ad hoc tutoring in writing and literary skills.

      I strive to make lessons they learn in school communicable on their level, tailored to how they learn.

      I consider methods and approaches to be most important and the most helpful to learning. Knowing how to see things, and how to handle what is given and not given, means the student will know what to do and how to proceed, even if the questions/content are new/unfamiliar. Thus I try to teach my students methods of approach as a means of preparation, and focus on that, instead of the concrete details of the subject which can only bring them so far.

      I can start with effect on 16th May 2016. I can commit for 2-3 months, but other arrangements can be considered specific to the assignment, depending on my schedule at university and the requirements of the student. I prefer one-to-one as it is more effective, but can cater up to 2 students if need be. I can meet at students' homes, or quiet public areas like cafes.
      Rapport Building
      I believe that communication is important between teacher and tutor, and student and tutor. I aim to learn about my students in terms of their learning styles and school performance (e.g. their experience with classes), and also their personality - since that will enable me to grasp how they learn/think, and experience their subject, and I can then try to create an approach/environment of learning that will suit them. I believe parents' expectations are also important in shaping learning, and will endeavour to get to know them, and let them know if any improvements are better made with their help.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      My information is mainly from the MOE/SEAB websites, but I spend the first lesson going through the students' curriculum (to get an informed sense of their schools' approach and specific areas of focus if any), past and current grades, and what they think are their difficulties.
      As a Good Tutor
      Enthusiasm and knowledge form the foundation of what I think a good tutor/teacher should be. At the very least, they should feel for their subject, and know their stuff.

      Other qualities that are beneficial include patience, good time management (since we are after all working on a regular, timed basis), and the willingness to put in effort (because teaching does need effort). A good tutor should put in time to prepare their lessons. It's not just a job, but it concerns the student's development and possibly their future, and I try to keep these important tenets in mind.

        When I teach, I usually try to award the students for their efforts like giving them stars, stamps on their papers, little notes for them and give them some small treats like chocolates/stationeries, hoping that these will continue to aspire the students. At the same time, I am friendly when I need to be friendly and am strict when I need to be strict with students so I believe that I have a good balance when dealing with students. When communicating with parents, I always update them on the things that have been done for the lesson and I always have a log book for the things done, for homework given and for the number of classes/class timing have taken the tuition. For example, if I start taking class at 8.15am until 10.15am, I would write down the date and time in a notebook for the parents to see so that they keep track on the number of lessons taken too. And I would tell the parents to try to keep an eye on their child's works.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I have sibling, cousins, friends, siblings of friends who studied/are studying in different levels. So I get to hear about them and get to see their books and see how much has the syllabus changed. Sometimes, when I am at a bookstore like popular, I would just flip through the respective education level's books to see how much the syllabus has changed so as to keep up with it.
        As a Good Tutor
        All of the students I have taught have made a significant difference in their result which I am proud of and I hope to bring a fruitful positive difference in the tutee's result by sharing with them the knowledge I gained and some study tips/shortcut methods to go about understanding their work so that the students may gain more interest to study further once they find it easy to do. So the basic qualities of good tutors is to be a good mentor, leader/guide and a friend who teaches the right things by being honest, strict and friendly at the same time when necessary. A good tutor to me is someone who makes learning fun and makes a student understand his subject well and inspires him to do well.

              I believe in communicating the necessary n allow both child n parents to be in the know of all necessary information. I also believe in getting to know the child better through small chats. Observing how the child react on the daily basis, is crucial to their learning. Reducing stress by giving the assurance to be around is important for a child to learn adequately.
