My students range from Primary 1 to Secondary 4 students.
It is my forte to impart language skills to my students, as well as to motivate them to achieve their
academic goals. I am fun-loving yet patient and firm. I am very experienced with children and teenagers whom can be a handful at times. I have also taught children with special needs like Dyslexia and ADHD.

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start assignments immediately and I have been committed to teaching full time for the past 4 years and counting.
I have students which I have taught for more than 2 years, which is an evident support to my commitment in teaching.
Schedule is to be discussed
Rapport Building
During the very first lesson with my student, I will always make sure that I speak to the student to understand more about their learning difficulties and also get to know them. I will also conduct a quiz on the first lesson to understand where the strength and weakness of the student for the subject.

As for the parents, I will spend time before or after the lesson to understand more about the parent's concern over their children's learning, as well as to introduce myself and my teaching style.

During the entire course of the year, I will constantly update the parents on the student's learning progress. I also keep a systematic record on a notebook each lesson, to update the parents on what has been covered during the 1.5 or 2 hour lesson, so as to enable both the parents and myself to track the student's progress.

I believe that communication is key when it comes to helping my student achieve an A, and also to allow the parents to learn about their children through the lessons.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I often check into MOE's website to keep myself updated on the curriculum, also through my helping my student with the notes and homework given, I would be constantly in touch with the MOE curriculum. I also have a few friends whom are MOE-trained school teachers that I catch up often with to learn about updates to the syllabus.
As a Good Tutor
The basic qualities are Compassion, Patience and Skillfulness. A good tutor, is one whom is skillful who can take a glimpse into the student's world, and be able to identify their struggles and to equip them with problem-solving skills.
I am a firm believer of teaching my students how to fish, instead of providing them the solutions or methods. I teach them how to self-study and how to look for answers and how to solve their problems instead of relying on my to complete their homework or to seek last minute help for exams.

          I do not have tutoring experience but I have great passion and dedication towards Mathematics since I was young. I love Mathematics, its a very fun subject that once you have enough practice, you'll start to get the hang of it and ace it. I have been getting distinctions during secondary school and i got both distinction for Mathematics and Additional Mathematics for O levels. Thus I believe I will be able to help my students to score well in their exams.
