Shortlist

Tuition Areas [...]: Bishan, Clementi/West Coast, Hougang, Serangoon, Buangkok, Kovan, Braddell

Qualification: Undergraduate

Tuition Background: Part-Time

Tuition/Teaching Experience: While in Poly, I supported myself through school by giving tuitions. It would be safe to say that I have approximately three years of experience dealing with children across all ages.
My first foray into the tuition world was at Maire Claire Enrichment Centre. I first taught students from Lower Primary subjects such as English, Math and Science to gain first hand experience. Within the first few months, the owner of the centre, Marie Claire handed me private tuition assignments as she believed I was extremely capable at my job. My next venture was two brothers whom I personally coached over two years. During that time, the mother recommended me to her friend and I started to teach them too. Through word of mouth I had a chance to have private Upper Secondary and Lower Primary lessons.

Commitment / Other Details: I am currently a student enrolled in NUS Business Administration. Additionally, I am also a member of the dragon boat team.

Hence, I am free in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

As I will be studying for four years, I am confident I can commit for FOUR years :)

Rapport Building: To be very frank, I was not a good student growing up. I flunked my PSLE, and O levels. I know what it is like to be at the lowest of low. But I managed to get my act together and right now I'm on my way to a honours program in NUS business. If I can do it, then any student who is failing, any student who is below average, any student who feels they're not good enough has no excuse.
I will motivate them because I was once like them. I know what it is like to be them. I know how to make them respond. I was once there. And when people know there is hope, a second chance, they gravitate towards it. I am that guy for them. Building trust is very important.
A raffles junior college student can teach the best methods but if a student feels he's not good enough or that the teacher is too smart for them, no matter how the tutor tries, when the exam comes about, the student will fail. How do I know this? Because I was once like them. Let me be the guy that helps these students!

Keeping Up with Curriculum: My sister has been teaching at a secondary school for over 2 years, so I normally refer to her curriculum notes and plan accordingly. I cant go wrong as the syllabus is updated every year and I am in the know of the changes because I get first hand information.

As a Good Tutor: Tutor must be approachable, funny, engaging, and knows where to draw the line between being a friend and a teacher.

Rapport Building: Communication and mutual respect is very important

Keeping Up with Curriculum: Being graduated from primary, secondary and junior college for such a long time, it is likely for the curriculum to have changed drastically. In addition to my own efforts to keep myself updated, student will need to help keep me updated.

As a Good Tutor: I feel that knowledge is one of the quality that every tutor should have. However, to me, tutoring is much more than the passing on of theoretical knowledge. Teaching is more of educating the future generations of our society and moral values are extremely important. On top of curriculum knowledge, skills and experience should also be shared.

Tuition Areas [...]: Punggol, North East, Bishan, Potong Pasir, Serangoon, Tampines/Simei, Boon Keng, Woodleigh

Qualification: Graduate

Tuition Background: MOE-certified Teacher

Tuition/Teaching Experience: Experienced in both Express and Normal Academic Physics(SPA) and Science(Physics) syllabus.

The main issue faced by students in Physics stems from poor conceptual understanding and a lack of exposure to a variety of questions. Currently, there is a clear trend towards more application-based and conceptual questions, more qualitative than quantitative questioning.

Self-study has only a limited effect on a student's understanding and may perpetuate misconceptions due to a lack of guidance from school teachers and/or incorrect methods picked up from peers. Thus, the "need" for proper supervision. I use ICT tools in my profession as an MOE teacher to enable students to visualize concepts taught as Physics goes beyond just mathematical formulae.

Tuition Background: Part-Time

Tuition/Teaching Experience: I have a 6 months experience with a Primary 2 female student for Maths and a 7 months ongoing experience with a Primary 4 male student whom has mild ADHD, teaching English, Math and Science.

I am a psychology graduate, thus I have some understanding on different learning and thinking styles. Being through primary school, secondary school, JC (for a year), polytechnic and university, I have come to understand the different learning curve in one's development and the type of motivation each category of school uses to motivate students to learn. A learning philosophy I would like to convey to students is that academic excellence is the training of the mind, in which would lead one to fulfil one's life purpose and destiny.

Commitment / Other Details: I am able to give night classes on weekdays and morning/afternoon classes on weekends.

Duration about 1h 30mins will be ideal as long hours will drain the students and may lead to poor concentration and tiredness.

I prefer to keep the size of the class small maximum up to 3, as I feel that there will be better focus the students without the amount of time. It will be more efficient and less distraction for the students too.

Rapport Building: It is always through communication and observation.
I always try to understand the student, his/her background etc.
Breaking the ice is the first crucial step. As this will allow better communication between the student and I.
Through this, the students will be more open and share their problems whether school work or non-school work. This will make me more approachable as the student will not only see me as their teacher but also someone whom they can trust and confide to when they have problems.
Next, is to understand and know the parent's standard or goal for their child.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: i am still in touch with my school teachers till now.
Moreover, I have many other friends who have benn giving private tuition for years.
Therefore, I will get information through them.

I will also update myself through the MOE website.

I will also communicate with the student to understand what their teacher is teaching and will be teaching.

As a Good Tutor: Firstly, it is to be knowledgeable of the subjects that one is teaching.

Secondly, knowledgeable is one thing but hardwork is important as well. This is to keep updated to the current topics and teaching methods, and doing our own revision in order to prevent ourselves from getting rusty with the concepts etc.

Lastly, it is to understand the student well. And having a goal with the student such that both will work towards it as one. In order to achieve efficient results, it has to be both ways.
