    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    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.

    I am able to commit to an assignment for up to 2 years, between 2015 and 2017. I am able to start at any point in time within this year.
    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.

          Tuition/Teaching Experience
          Peer tutor in GESS in 2013 for O Levels Pure Physics. Tutees managed to score a A2.

          During my time as a peer tutor, I realised that many a times the problem with most students was not with their ability to memorise, but with their fundamental concepts. Having spent hours correcting mistakes and even more to solidify the fundamentals in my tutees, I have found that their confidence in their physics skills have improved great leaps. And I could not be happier to see our efforts pay off during the announcement of their results.

          Hope to help more students to study smarter and bask in the joy of getting great results!

              I have been a private tutor for 3 years since before graduation. My passion in teaching and helping students improve in their academics have exposed me to students of varying academic calibre (and also levels). I have become competent in adapting my teaching methods to suit the needs of my students. My previous students have attained at least a B3 in the subjects (with a majority scoring A2 and above) I tutored and have usually improved their subjects by at least 2 grades. Past students have commented that they can relate to my teaching methods as they feel I can understand their difficulties and teach at a level that is optimal for their understanding.

                    Rapport Building
                    On the first lesson, I try to get to know the student first and at the same time, gauge his or her subject ability. This will give me a good idea of how to adapt my teaching for the student. I usually personally report to the student's parents on the child's progress, and make sure to reward them with little gifts for any improvement.
                    Keeping Up with Curriculum
                    I regularly purchase and teach using the most updated assessment books for my students. From there, I can closely analyze the evolving syllabus and get acquainted with it. I also keep a personal stash and ever-growing stash of 5 year series books which share with students.
                    As a Good Tutor
                    Aside from being well-versed and able to explain the subject to the student in a way he/she understands, I also aim to be a patient tutor who encourages students not just to memorize a subject, but to build their morale and interest in it. Tutors also are indirectly personal coaches to the students as we are able to give them useful advice on studying and/or juggling school work and commitments.
