Commitment / Other Details
Would like to start ASAP. Would be free weekdays 4/5pm onwards, weekends morning and afternoon will 5/6pm prefered (night is alright too). Would commit at least a year for an assignment. Also, if student is going to undertake major exams, would be able to tutor until they have concluded them. ( eg. if tutoring sec 3 student, would commit until their O Levels are over if they are alright with me. )
Rapport Building
Come earlier for lessons, chit chat with them (students or/and parents) to understand find out more on what problems the tutee faces in school etc. Aim to rectify those problems. Getting to know the tutee on a more personal level to facilitate better interaction so tuition would no longer be perceived as boring or students dreading tuition. After lesson, update parents ( if possible ) about what has been taught etc. Rewards students occasionally for their hard work, be it small tests, studying late at night or major exams.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
My siblings have notes ranging from sec 1 - sec 4 and since i tutor them, i make sure to i read thoroughly on what they are going to be tested on. I also go through exam papers to make sure they know what went wrong.
As a Good Tutor
First would be Patience. Every student would have different academic abilities and methods of learning. Not all of them can be taught via the same method. The pace at which he or she learns has to be reasonable. Hence, tutors should understand and have more patience with students that learn slower. Ever so often, tutees will also defy your instructions, eg. doing homework, etc. Tutors would then have to explain the importance of keeping up with the curriculum and eventually helping them to achieve the best for their grades.

Next i would think is Persistance. Of course, tutors would have to adapt to every new student that he or she teaches. But in some cases, the student simply does not want to learn or does not understand what the tutor is saying during the lesson. Tutors would therefore have to find different ways, be it using visual pieces or some analogies to help the student to understand what the topic is about, especially if one is relatively new to the topic chosen. For student that have the mindset of not wanting to learn, tutors cannot be too persistant as that may drive the students further away from understanding the importance of education. As tutors we would have to work together with the parents to help change the mindsets of these particular students,

Last but not least, being mature is also an important value/quality of good tutors. Knowing to do the right things at the right times. As a tutor, one has to set an example for the tutees. After all, since your are helping them, they will look up to you. During the tuitions, tutors should not make crude jokes, fool around as this will not help the tutees to achience their academic goals.

    I am tutoring on a full-time basis and start immediately. I am prepared to fully commit for the entire academic year. I have my own customized worksheets and assessments closely modeled after the latest syllabus, and experience in choosing the right assessment books which are closely related to the MOE syllabus.
    Rapport Building
    I believing in cultivating my students' interest in the subjects through educational games, short quizzes and fun lessons. With keen interest in that particular subject, the learning journey is no longer a chore for them. I also try to maintain a good teacher-student relationship and close rapport with parents in order to stay updated on my students' progress.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I have my personal customized assessments for Mathematics. These worksheets were created and improved over the years, focusing on problem-solving methods and heuristic questions. Training my students to think out-of-the-box, i also prepare them well for any unexpected heuristic questions in exams. Knowledge on method application and exposure to a wide range of questions type will greatly improve their ability to tackle the exams better. I also train students on time-management and ability to perform to their rightful potential during the stressful examination period.
    As a Good Tutor
    I believe that god created everyone differently. Every student has their own learning pace and capability. I am extremely flexible and will continue to customize worksheets and assessments according to my student pace. I also believe that enjoying mutual support between tutor and parents will be the most beneficial for the kids. As a tutor, we can then work together with parents to source for the most beneficial ways to tutor the kids and help them grow.

            Tutoring students is my great responsibility, but it can also be one of life's most rewarding experiences. However, just knowing a lot about a subject area doesn't necessarily mean I will be a good tutor. To help students reach their potential, I have to assess each one's needs and goals individually. With my individualized attention, any student can improve their understanding of difficult material.

              My teaching philosophy is learn to learn. Passing exam is important but the most important is the knowledge gain. If the student is passionate about what he/she learns, not only he/she can do well in exam, but also able to retain the knowledge for life application.

              As a design engineer, I can also impart logical problem solving, and real life application of the subject learned in school.

                I'm very confident in having the patience and willingness to provide for my students! I won't give up when things can hard and I'll push myself beyond limits to perform in the best condition possible! I'll also make sure my students are treated fairly and given tasks that will challenge them to become better!

                I'm also a student designer, so creative thinking is very critical in my point of view when teaching my students! I'll incorporate interesting and new ways to conduct a lesson!

                I'm able to start immediately!

                I am currently working a part-time barista job but my timing is very flexible and I'm able to commit for a long time!

                I'll be entering University in October but even then, I'll still be able to go for classes during the weekends or weekday nights! :)
                Rapport Building
                I've never had tutoring experiences but during my part-time barista job, I handle several regular customers and I tend to remember their personalities and initiate conversations to create a stronger bond! I also like to notice their favourite drinks or foods and give them my opinion on what would be better for them that day!

                My point here is that as a tutor, I will look out for what my student needs the most and also take note of their personality and interests so as to be able to keep lessons less boring and more interesting for my students! I would also like to be someone they can communicate with and relate to not just as a tutor, but as a friend! :)

                I have a younger sister who is currently in Secondary 5 at Pasir Ris Secondary. She sometimes comes to me for help with her e-maths homework. I look at the ten-year series and notice the differences in syllabus every year.
                As a Good Tutor
                As a good tutor, I will put my student's needs and interests first. I'll listen to what they have to say and provide the best advice I can, not just in their education, but also in their everyday lives. Their happiness is the most important thing to me and I would like to be someone who gives them encouragement and motivation to persevere and do their best. Even if they're not at the top 5 or top 10, I want to always remind them that success is not a destination, but a journey they have to go through their whole life.

                    Rapport Building
                    I will constantly update the student's parents about their child's progress, ensuring that there is some form of communication to let the parents feel involved.

                    For students, I will ensure that the child feels comfortable with my teaching methods and also show care and concern for the student. I will also encourage the student to contact me outside of tuition hours if he/she needs any help in his or her work
                    Keeping Up with Curriculum
                    I research on the Internet as well as looking through the various assessment books to ensure that I am kept updated with the curriculum and syllabus
                    As a Good Tutor
                    I believe that a good tutor must be able to explain concepts and convey ideas simply and clearly. Good tutors should also speak at a level students can understand and be good at summarising the main points of a topic. They should also possess character traits such as approachability, friendliness and patience. Most importantly, a good tutor should also have a passion for teaching.
