Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have been mentoring secondary and primary school students since my junior college year 2 days (2013). I volunteered for a mentoring program with my Secondary School as I was interested in teaching and mentoring my juniors. My current student improved her Primary 4 Maths from a fail to a band 2 grade after half a year of teaching. I really enjoy teaching and I would like to pass on my passion for mathematics to my students and make them see the joy in maths- which will eventually score them good grades!

    I prefer asking the students to explain to me how they feel about the related subject because that hints about the perception the students has on the subject. In my opinion, it is crucial that the student develop, at least to a small extent, a liking for learning, in whatever way suits them (not necessarily as a dry subject matter).

      Tuition/Teaching Experience
      I have been a tutor for the past 5 years and have taught children from different age groups.
      Primary 1-5 for Math and Science for the past 4 years.
      Secondary 1-3 for Elementary Mathematics and Science for the past 2 years.
      I have even tutored children with ADHD and dyslexia.
      Most children i teach have had their grades improved from 60-80 for the children in P1 and P3 in year 2015 for Mathematics and Science.
      My secondary school students were able to get a B4 in their end year exams which they were previously failing.
      Most parents praise my commitment and dedication towards the children. The parent of my P3 child was not expecting the child to obtain 1st at the end of year having only started tuition for 6 months.

      Rapport Building
      I usually like to speak to parents to find out their expectations and what they would like their child to achieve at the end of the lesson / school terms. I then repeat this with the child and try to come up with a short term and long term goals for the child. In terms of understanding the child in where they stand subject-wise, i would get the child to explain concepts to me or find out where they are struggling and focus in their weak areas. Worksheets and assessments books will be used to enhance the learning of the child. Sometimes, I do come up with simple activities and hands-on practices for the children as this enhances their learning and helps them to be involved in setting of questions which they will be able to understand as they gave their inputs in it.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      I have friends who are teachers and I keep myself updated with the syllabus by asking whether the syllabus is any different from the previous year. Sometimes, I visit the stores and browse through the assessment books and textbooks to see what changes there are in the question styles and teaching methods.
      As a Good Tutor
      A good tutor understands where the child needs help and focuses on the areas for development.
      It is also important that the child understands the concept skills taught in school and to provide simple and easy-to-remember ways to deal with skills to enhance their learning.
      A good tutor does not only depend on assessment books and worksheets to improve the child's learning.
      Grades although important should be the only target for the child. Their understanding is more important.

        Tuition/Teaching Experience
        Prior to starting work formally, I was a private tutor teaching both primary and secondary school students for over 3 years.

        I took up the CELTA Course last year so that I could teach English. I already have experience teaching English to children and now, I can also teach conversational English to adults. As I have also studied a few foreign languages, I can understand difficulties students face when studying a language they are not strong in. My style is to draw out from them and guide them to discover the answers for themselves.

        I have been speaking French for over 30 years, so I am also able to teach French and help students understand this beautiful language.

        I have an avid interest in and have learnt several foreign languages myself, so I can empathise with students facing difficulties in the study of the English language, whether to strengthen English as a first or as a foreign language. I can bring to the table my experiences in the learning of foreign languages and apply this to my students by finding myriad ways and methods to draw out from and help them understand the intricacies of the English language.

            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.

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.

                  I will be able to commit at least 1 academic year to a tuition assignment.
                  Rapport Building
                  I usually talk to my students and their parents before and after tuition lesson to find out more about their life in general, as well as update the parents on the progress of the student.
                  Keeping Up with Curriculum
                  I'm currently studying at NIE so i am well informed with any updates in the curriculum.
