As a Good Tutor
I like to first start with the basics of each chapter before progressing to work on harder concepts and questions. For math, I like to teach my students the shortest method possible to reduce the chances of making careless mistakes. When the students are confident with the concept or formula, I tend to compete with them on math questions to train their speed.

      Commitment / Other Details
      I am able to take on students as soon as possible and will continue to take on assignments as long as I remain physically fit and mentally alert. Both attributes I possess at this time.
      Group sessions are a very effective way of encouraging peer learning and friendly rivalry. The group, however, must not be too large. An ideal size is four per group. Late afternoon sessions allow students to have at least some rest before a learning session begins, so a 4 pm to 6 pm time frame is good. To give students a breather, weekend sessions will only be conducted near examination periods. So a Monday to Friday tuition week is preferable. A student, who is seeking to improve on a particular subject, must be able to commit to an extended tuition regime. No promises will be made to guarantee vast improvements in a short time frame, simply because building a foundation takes time, especially if the student is found to be weak in the subject. A Junior College student who came to me with a failing grade for her General Paper managed a B grade in her 'A' Levels finals. She learned to be focused and did not let up for the ten months leading up to the November examinations. While she and three of her friends were under my charge, my home was available to them when they needed help in their school GP assignments. It would be convenient if a student might be able to offer his or her home as a place for other students to attend group tuition sessions. Students could possible rotate their homes as venues for tuition classes.
      While group sessions are what I would like to handle, one on one sessions will be considered on a case to case basis. Genuine under privileged students will be tutored at a reduced rate. The condition for taking on these cases is the students must be good learners, as evidenced by their school records or, possibly, consultations with their schools' teachers. In schools that I have taught in, under privileged students who know their plight deserve often are keen to improve their condition through learning. It is always a pleasure to see them make much of themselves later on in life. They are often the only ones who will remember to thank you and come up to you, outside the school environment and years after you have taught them, when they see you.
      Rapport Building
      It is my 'modus operandi', to meet parents of the students at least once. I will always insist on an exchange of telephone numbers with parents. I speak to the parents if I feel their intervention is totally necessary or, routinely, I text to inform them of the progress of their children under my care. This does not mean I am relegating my responsibilities to the parents. Students become more confident if they know there is true collaboration between teachers and parents in looking after their welfare. Teachers must provide genuine feedback to parents in managing expectations. At the same time teachers must also provide solutions to overcome obstacles in a student's learning path. Above all, gaining a student's trust is paramount. This trust must be conveyed to the student's parent/s so that a backdrop of confidence can be built all round. Just as critical is the teacher's knowledge and competence in teaching a subject. Students are quick in assessing the teacher's abilities and will lose faith once they perceive the teacher's ineffectiveness. Teachers must, without conditions, respect the students' individual capabilities or inaptitudes. There is no harm in celebrating capabilities but there is great danger in denigrating those who are less capable. The best way to rapport building is to cheer and cheer effort on the part of the student. Highlighting effort boost a student self confidence. Praising only results when these are achieved have negative connotations. It shifts attention to an end without recourse to the means in achieving the end. In doing so, students may learn to get results no matter what, even through dishonest means. A teacher, on all accounts, must also be a mentor.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      Ministry of Education publishes broad curriculum in the internet. Some full time teachers are comfortable in sharing details of curriculum because they feel it benefits all students at large.

          Results are priority. I have no problem delivering results when students cooperate. I also make sure that the student enjoys learning as much as possible to motivate them for self-revision.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          Teaching is my passion. As a full-time tutor, I make it a point to not only study challenging questions everyday, I also keep myself up to date with friends who are current school teachers to keep up with the curriculum.
          As a Good Tutor
          There is only one quality. Passion to teach and motivate. Students will not be interested to learn and improve if the tutor has no passion.

                Brief description of your experience: I have been teaching for a year. I had 3 students. I was tutoring 2 students before their final exams. They managed to help them pass especially for POA. 1 of the student didn't have any background on accounts and managed to learn from me the basic concepts in about 2 months. I am meticulous in putting across different concepts and principles to students intuitively.

                  Rapport Building
                  I normally give my contact number to the child's parents and I will follow up with the week's lesson through whatsapp. My students can ask me questions on whatsapp and I will do my best to answer them. I also remind my students to complete their homework weekly for more effective learning. I believe that parents also play an important role in motivating children hence I try to get the parents to check up on their children and identify the possible difficulties they might face, as well as get feedback on my teaching style and areas for improvement.
                  Keeping Up with Curriculum
                  Before I go for lessons, I would look through the relevant textbooks and guidebooks to get a good grasp of what my tutee is supposed to learn and I would teach them the relevant skills and content that they need to do well in school. I would also buy workbooks which i think are good for practice and tackling their weak areas, based on my observation of their stronger and weaker areas. I would brush up on their concepts in class and assign them adequate homework for practice.
                  As a Good Tutor
                  I think a good tutor should be responsible. She should only accept the job if she is able to commit to the sessions and even when something comes up, she should inform the parent immediately to reschedule that weeks lesson so that the child would not have to miss out on any lesson.
                  I think that a good tutor should also have integrity. When the child happens to ask the tutor a question that she is not sure about, she should not try to come up with a slipshod answer that might end up making the child confused or leave the child with wrong concepts, but rather she should admit that she is not sure and tell the child that she would research before giving the child a reliable answer.
                  A good tutor should also be patient, especially towards students that take a longer time to learn and internalise concepts, and yet be firm when it comes to getting the child to do homework or to concentrate when the child is not willing to listen.
                  A good tutor should also be committed and go to lessons prepared so that she would be able to have a productive session with her student.
