I have a relaxed demeanour but a very strong work ethic. I put considerable effort into my lesson preparation so that the tutoring sessions are valuable and enjoyable. I hope to build on the student's existing knowledge to achieve their full potential. I am of course guided by the needs of each student but, as a marker for the OCR exam board, I have an understanding of mark schemes and how to get the best results in coursework and examinations. I know how important it is for students to display an understanding of context, an awareness of critical responses and an ability to analyse language. This all sounds rather dry, but I hope that my delivery will be creative and thought-provoking. I use tailor-made exercises, plenary sessions and essay planning to hone these skills. In advance of each session, I prepare my own worksheets, quizzes, revision guides and annotated excerpts from the text to consolidate the learning process.

I strive to provide exceptional value for money and am happy to be contacted by the student out of hours and at no additional cost, with any questions. I am also happy to receive essay plans and essays by email and revert to students will full comments and suggestions for improvement.

        I find great joy in teaching. I feel satisfied knowing that I helped a student through tough times in catching up with their studies.
        I truly understand how difficult it can be to catch up on studies especially when other commitments in school and life gets in the way. We often need external help to keep up with the crucial concepts in what we learn.
        During my JC years, I tutored 2 students who had problems keeping up with the curriculum in Economics and Mathematics. My students always felt that I'm able to transform seemingly complicated concepts into simpler understandable ideas that were easier to remember.

        I'm able to connect quickly with students and their parents alike. I have the ability to adapt to the communication styles of the people I am talking to. This allows my students to feel at ease with me and treat me more as a friend than an impersonal tutor.
        I am more able to transfer my knowledge and techniques in learning as my students will be more receptive to my ideas.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I obtain updated materials from my juniors in school.
        I also do research online to stay in track with the latest updates in the curriculum.

          I would look at assessments or papers that are available in the market and keep updated about the change in syllabus in the past years.
          As a Good Tutor
          In my opinion, I believe that a good tutor should have patience in guiding their students. Since we are not able to commit as much time as a full time school teacher, we need to consolidate our teaching materials and allow the student to understand as much as possible within the one or two hours.
          Thus, a good tutor should always plan before hand what to teach their students as every student is different. We should find a suitable method and pace to teach each student.
