Rapport Building
For beginners, I will make the kids feel comfortable and build up their interest in the subject by playing simple games with them. This is to help me gauge what would be the best approach to use for the student.

For students with a little bit of background, I would revise what they have learnt before so as to get to know what are they strong or weak in before helping them on from there.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will constantly update myself and take notice of the new syllabus and cirriculum which are taught in schools.

For piano, I will constantly update myself by attending forums online on the latest exam syllabus to better equipt my students with the relevant skills for their long term learning and exams.

I have also been listening to classical music to improve on the way in approaching a new piece of music.
As a Good Tutor
Not only does a good tutor needs to be very updated with the cirriculum and latest syllabus in school, she should also be very familiar with the subject she is teaching.

Also, being a good tutor should also be able to bring out the best in her students, by using different approaches and ways. She should also be observant and is able to identify the strengths and weakness of each student.

    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    The main reason that why I'm getting myself involved in tutoring rather than doing some of my fav activities during my free time is the sense of responsibility and achievement that I would achieve at the end of the journey. It is simply priceless, from my previous short tutoring experience (sec4 chem). Also, I understand that private tuition fee is expensive and thus I will give my 100% in coaching the student towards his/her goals.

              Tuition/Teaching Experience
              I have been tutoring since I was in Junior College 8 years ago. In total, I have tutored 7 students ranging from Primary to 'O' levels. Subjects covered include A and E Math, all Sciences (combined or pure) and English writing. The most recent two students I had (two brothers), did well in IB and 'O' levels, managing to secure places in NUS and Temasek JC respectively. Overall, I have had great experiences tutoring students, and many of us remain in touch till this day. Having covered advanced Science concepts in my degree, I bring additional insight to my tuition sessions: when confronted by curious students who ask deeper questions, instead of telling them "it is what the textbook says", I am able to explain to them in detail the nature of the Science behind the concept.

              Rapport Building
              Compared to years back when I was schooling, I concede that school children are placed under a staggering amount of stress from teachers and parents. And parents are placed under even more stress by the system and other parents. Having understood this, I am driven to help my students excel by showing them that I am on their side and their success is my intention. In previous tuition assignments, I invested my time outside of tutoring to go for meals with my students and to check in with them over SMS/Whatsapp because I believe building the tutor-student relationship is essential for my students to trust in my ability to help them excel. In addition, I constantly have a chat with the parents before/after tutoring because they know my student best and their input helps me adapt my teaching better.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              My last tuition assignment was last year and I have been in touch with current textbooks and study material. In addition, depending on the tuition assignment, I download learning objectives and syllabuses from the examining authority's website. For example, for an 'A' level assignment, I refer to http://www.seab.gov.sg/pages/nationalExaminations/GAL/School_Candidates/2017_GCE_A.asp to get a good understanding of outcomes expected of an 'A' level student. I then use that information to supplement textbooks in my tuition sessions.
              As a Good Tutor
              In gist, a good tutor should have at baseline qualities of adaptability, commitment and patience.
              Adaptability: Because every student is different, tutors must be able to switch teaching styles in order to maximize the student's learning experience in the very short tuition session. I have taught students from different proficiency levels and also taught one with a mild learning disability. Through that, I have learnt to be flexible and self-correcting when it comes to teaching a new student.
              Commitment: Outside of committing personal time, I feel that tutors have to "buy in" to their students; their students' excellence reflects their effective teaching. I have invested time in my undergraduate years to mentor junior university students in Science and at this point, many of them have been accepted into prestigious research labs and PhD programmes; the satisfaction of committing my effort and time into these students is remarkable.
              Patience: Most tuition students opt for tuition because they have difficulty keeping up with their schoolwork and require dedicated and focused education. Due to this, tutors have to be patient as their students may often be slow on the uptake and require repeated testing to fully understand the concepts. I tend to layer my tuition sessions, such that up to 10-15 minutes of a session is committed to recapping the content and concepts covered in the previous session. I have found that this is effective in maximizing retention.
