Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have been teaching Science, Physics, and Chemistry for students from pri5-sec5 since 2007, and have been teaching piano students aged 5-50. I also have experience teaching in music school and tuition center for about 5 years.

Apart from explaining tough concepts in a simple and easy way for students to understand, I also encourage students to do their own revision and have some form of preparation done before classes. It is crucial for students to have an idea of what they don't know as it allows them to improve more in a shorter period of time. Towards examinations, lessons usually take place in consultation style and will be very dense in the form of answering questions that the students have.

My students have improved from failing grades to getting As in their exams.

I see tuition as a way for students to be assisted in their studies, so usually there will be more lessons towards exam periods while there are less lessons during CCA-intensive periods. Lesson times are generally flexible depending on the students' schedules and preparation.

For piano, adults usually have interests in playing certain songs. Hence, for adult piano lessons, I arrange scores that are within the students' capabilities to play on the piano. This is because scores freely available online may be of a different version to the student's liking or may be too difficult for adult beginners. Arranging scores make it possible for students to play a song they like in the early stages of learning. Adult piano lessons occur about 3 times a month as adults usually cannot commit to have lesson every single week. As I'm teaching piano and science full time, my schedule is really flexible and I try to accommodate my students as much as possible.

I believe that patience towards the child is very important. I am able to repeat explanations or use other ways of explaning a concept till a child gets it (up to 10 times). I also believe that understanding what problem the child faces is of paramount importance.

As for parents, I think spending time to understand what the parent want and hope the child to achieve is important.

      Tuition/Teaching Experience
      My brother is 1 year younger than myself and I have been helping him with his work throughout her primary and secondary days. I have also tutored and guided my peers during secondary school times and my peers throughout my polytechnic days.

      I can understand the despair and hopelessness a student faces when they constantly achieve poor grades in school. I think many students in these circumstances face the problem of not knowing where to start studying from or how to go about salvaging their grades and as a tutor, this would be where I start to tackle the problem.

      I specialized in mathematics and sciences at the primary and secondary level. If needed, I can offer help for other subjects too.

            I have been tutoring a Primary 3 student English for about 4 months and would like to support more children who are having difficulties in their studies. Being able to see their progress gradually gives me a great sense of satisfaction and achievement, and I am sure, for the children as well. Thus I would like to help them achieve their greatest potential in their learning.

            I keep the parents up to date regularly with their child's curriculum progress. Before lessons I normally would talk to the students about things other than studies, e.g. Interests, weekend plans etc.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            Get information from curriculum subject teachers in school, visit bookstores e.g. Popular, to ask for the appropriate range of assessment books, textbooks, workbooks. Also reading up on the topics prior to a lesson to be taught.
            As a Good Tutor
            I believe a truly good tutor would possess qualities such as patience, ability to motivate, having care for the students, being innovative in order to engage their interest in a subject, being able to discover the students' strengths and weaknesses, and play on their strengths more, to let them feel more empowered to drive their own learning.

              I am able to commit on weekdays and weekends to suit the needs of your child. It all depends if we could work out a timing that would ideally suit your child.
              Rapport Building
              I think the most important thing is instilling confidence in a child rather than scolding. When confidence is high, it gives the child the best learning environment as he or she would be willing to make mistakes and learn from it. Kids should be given the opportunity to speak and learn values while studying.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              I've talked and met parents on a weekly basis for the past few years since i've started soccer coaching. They range from local parents to expatriates who constantly keep me updated with the school's curriculum. This would ensure that their child is not put under too much pressure and stress so that the best schedule can be worked out to get the best out of their child.
              As a Good Tutor
              Patience is key. Getting angry and getting distracted by what kids do while studying or playing on the field can get to any human being, but after all, we have to find a way to work around it. Kids are interesting. They have unique perspectives that can give us adults a different outlook to things in life. Being patient with a kid, and trying to find ways to get them interested in that subject, in my case, English can be a fascinating task yet challenging one.
