In JC, I was the class chairman for 2 years, allowing me to lead and get along with my peers very well. I was said to be caring and considerate who established harmonious relations with everybody. I'll always be keen to help my future students, engage them and allowing them to learn things in a better way, more interactive ways like videos or mind mapping, making learning easier.

    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    I have thought Primary 4 Math in Xinghua Primary School before (part-time). I like to focus on step -by-step approach and methods to finding the answer instead of not knowing what each step means. I like to make model-drawing easy to relate to the question and has a link to it. It is my passion to teach and tutor people younger than me that may be facing the same challenges in questions I used to have. And not having them to repeat the mistakes I made.

          Communicate with them more and find out what is the real concern and address them. Find out what motivates the students, and make learning fun. But most importantly I am very patient with people that are learning so I stay long enough to figure out what ticks.

          New tutor here, but I check out the past year papers and textbooks. I also have teacher and other tutor friends
          As a Good Tutor
          Patience, because students come to you because they need help. And there are things they don't understand or that there is always underlying frustration because they feel left behind.

          Encouraging - Some of these factors are psychological, and being able to motivate students plays a big part.

          Creativity - Different teachers teaching the same thing can have drastic effects. Its not just the content, but how you deliver the concept. If it doesn't work, then you need to look out of the box.

                  I'm a student who used to be easily distracted; even if I knew the importance of my grades, I could not stop myself from gaming near major exams. Hence I can empathize with those who may have the mental aptitude but lack the focus to achieve, and adapt my teaching methods to suit them.

                  I also have experience working with children in various settings-teaching about back problems in preschool, and the mentally challenged via TOUCH caring center. These experiences have tempered my patience (I used to have a really short fuse, haha) and opened my mind to the people who talents may not lie in the area of studies.

                  Lastly, I'm offering tuition services for multiple subjects, including English Language and Lingustics, so if you wish I could tutor multiple subjects to promote familiarity.

                  Rapport Building
                  I believe first and foremost that the student has to be able to accept my style of teaching- I have a younger brother who I tutored for A levels and it was difficult for him to accept my assertive style of teaching as he had a headstrong personality and often rejected explanations unless justified by a greater authority. Hence I changed my tactic-instead of offering him direct explanations I simply directed him towards the generally accepted answer with prompts and hints. Often, I realized, he already knew the answer to his question long before I even got close to giving out the obvious leads. To build rapport with my students is to adapt to each person's personality. Parents on the other hand I will try to provide insights into the student's capabilities in a politically correct manner-many parents feel that hard work will surely pay off for every student, yet there are limits to this assumption. Having too high expectations of their child often puts unnecessary pressure on the student to excel, which may negatively affect the final grade. To build rapport with them I would consult them on the student's behavior and personality-not only would that be a common topic, but would also provide insights from different perspectives on the student's studying habits.
                  Keeping Up with Curriculum
                  Many of my subjects are in fact directly related to the modules I am currently taking-English Language and Linguistics is a subset of the Business Communication module I take in NUS Business School, while Economics is a lighter version of Managerial Economics taught in my modules. Additionally, I have the recent experience of coaching my brother for A levels this year (2015) and thus have updated myself with regard to the current A level syllabus.
                  As a Good Tutor
                  A good tutor should have faith not only in his students, but in his own teaching. He should not be afraid to defer to a student's better judgement, but has to remain confident in his own curriculum.
