Tuition Background
(ex) MOE certified Teacher
Tuition/Teaching Experience
Nine years of teaching followed by four years of tutoring experience.

My past students have ranged from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the class as I had taught secondary 1 to 5, Express, N(A) and N(T) classes English Language, History and Social Studies.

My classes always do better than the others despite being assigned the more active classes. The reason is that I take the time to understand my pupils, where they are and where they need to be to get to where they want to go. Then I make sure they learn what is needed through all the means and ways available at my disposal.

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start classes on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays now. My tutees choose whether they want to just learn a particular area, like how to improve their summary skills, or if they want to just more practice and feedback on their work. I will continue the assignment until the tutee is ready.
Rapport Building
I taught N(T) classes. I came out of the class with everyone alive and everyone smiling. In my last year of service, my N(T) English class outperformed the previous years' results.

If I can motivate and work with disruptive N(T) pupils, I can do the same for your child.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As a former MOE teacher, I am able to understand the intent behind changes in the curriculum and adapt accordingly. Therefore I help my tutees to score by understanding what the examiner is looking out for and why they are tested in these new areas.

I have also been responsible for updating a tuition centre's curriculum and worksheets for the new English Language (Secondary) syllabus. I have also been teaching 80 tutees in group tuition weekly.
As a Good Tutor
The most important aspect of an educator is to have a clear vision of where my pupil needs to go, know where he currently stands and work with him to get there by sharing and resolving his concerns.

        I have 3 years of experience in tutoring lower secondary science and a year of teaching upper secondary Emath. As a tutor, I enjoy teaching my students while stressing on the important key points to take note. Aside from which, I also share with them some of the exam tips that they wish to change to perform better in their examinations. As far as possible, I will prioritise my student's schoolwork and provide them with revision papers according to the schedule of my student's school is attending. Aside from the subject that I am teaching, I am also open to helping my student at any other subjects.

        Rapport Building
        At the start I would try to have small chitchat sessions with the student and his/her parents to understand more about the student so as to come up with the best teaching method for the student. I believe that different students have different style of studying/revising. Also, by knowing the student better through parents or the student him/herself, I would be better informed of the student's weakness or areas which requires improvement. I like to share videos with students to aid in their understanding, or to start a discussion, which may also aid in building rapport with the student, on top of enriching the student's understanding on certain concepts.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I will constantly keep track of the student's tests results in school as well as conduct tests or revision sessions to keep track of the student's progress and understanding of certain concepts.
        As a Good Tutor
        I think a good tutor needs to be responsible for her student. She is required to ensure that her student achieves a better understanding of concepts taught in school and prepares the student well for any school tests or examinations. A good tutor should also, as far as possible, cater to any request from parents and be flexible in her teaching.

          I'm currently an undergraduate in the National University of Singapore, Bachelor of Business Administration.
          I was previously from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and was offered scholarship for 2 consecutive years.

          I've been a peer tutor in my polytechnic for certain modules and many of them ended up getting excellent grades, following a scholarship and I highly believe with my experiences on hand, I would be able to impart apt analytical and technical skills which would aid in the developmental progress of a student.

          Rapport Building
          I would usually seek to understand the current situation that the student is in and comprehend their studying methodology. From there, I would be better able to target the root cause of the problems and hence, communicate with the child better. Furthermore, with an in-depth understanding, it would be easier for an active communication amongst the parents, the child and myself. Forging a deeper relationship would allow for greater and more interactive sessions which would be more beneficial and productive for the student.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          Constantly practise, look through assessment and textbooks to be in sync with current curriculum. Furthermore, keeping in touch with a few other tutor friends which I have whom is also coaching the same level as me to ensure benchmarking and consistency.

          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          Mr. Alastair Tan reads widely to keep abreast of current economic issues and this enables him to teach students application skills (that most struggle with!) using real-world examples to help students understand the world around them and case studies better. He also has connections with teachers from various top Junior Colleges that provides updates with curriculum and various good resources that can be used for practice.
          As a Good Tutor
          Mr. Alastair Tan believes in helping students to understand that Economics is a study that aims to comprehend the complex world by first, simplifying it. Engaging them by building blocks of understanding to make sense of what is going on around them. Not only is he passionate in the mastery of the subject, he places great importance on fundamental academic and application skills by providing structure and scaffolding necessary for students to excel in tertiary education.

          He hopes that his students will come to learn that Economics does not value only efficiency but as Dani Rodrik explains, provides: a "richer paradigm of human behaviour" and in so doing excel in whatever they do.

          1.5 years (including personal and group tutoring for H2 Math and Physics. Peer tutor in JC)
          Have been coaching upon request from teachers since JC to help out with weaker students in the subjects of Math and Physics. Many scored 'A' and did very well for A levels. Some were offered scholarships. Subsequently, went into private tuition after A levels to give group as well as individual tuitions. Currently offered a scholarship in NTU and was previously offered a placing in Imperial College London. I believe in having passion and work ethic. It is important that learning comes from understanding and results will definitely follow.

          Understanding the student's area of weakness and build a strong communication channel for active learning and feedback. Bringing passion and interest into the subject helps the student learn and focus better. It is important to me to always provide the mentorship support that the student may not receive in school or from their fellow peers. Aside from this, it is to go the extra mile in caring for the student. Be in the area of their health, daily habits or emotional support.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
