      Tuition/Teaching Experience
      I have been teaching for the past 4 years and counting, but only within my immediate family members and friends.

      My approach towards the study of language and literature is extremely unique and is a combination of my own methods of studying for my A'Levels and my perspective of linguistics as a professional writer.

      I specialise in poetry and analysis which is a key component of literature that many students nowadays seem to be severely lacking, and my goal is to train the minds of literature students to devour and critique the works of the likes of Ian McEwan and Thomas Hardy with ease.

      Commitment / Other Details
      I am able to start at any time, and will commit to the assignment as long as is required. I am generally quite free at the moment as my schedule is extremely flexible and can change accommodate students' requests.

      As long as the student feels that he/she still requires assistance I will continue to teach.
      Rapport Building
      Having trained classically as a stage actor for the greater part of my life, I find the best way to interact with people is to find a common ground and develop relationships from there. Humour, good humour i should say, is key to breaking down barriers and allow for increased interaction between both parties, so I tend to find myself presenting a rather aloof and comical image to engage with students.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      For linguistics heavy subjects such as GP, English, and literature, the core skills required are often more important, or even overshadow other aspects such as curriculum.

      In GP and Literature, what is most important is the analytical skills and presentation of language, and that is basis of the wisdom i try to impart to my students. In these two subjects, regardless of how brilliant or relevant the content may be, if the student is unable to form and present insightful opinions and arguments, he/she might as well be handing up a blank sheet of paper.
      As a Good Tutor
      I am a writer who has years of experience of writing, critiquing my own works, and the works of others around me, many of whom are my classmates who often come to me for help regarding their GP essays. I am classically trained in the performing arts and I often choose to employ methods I learned from my time on stage to teach my students.

      Please note that the lessons I conduct are not simple "point and correct" or "copy what I say" sessions. If the student requires help critiquing and refining an essay he/she has written i will be more than happy to give pointers and advice, whenever and wherever, at no extra cost. However I do not condone this behaviour amongst students of requesting my "help" to finish assigned schoolwork which more often than not ends up as a piece of my work.

      For students studying English at the primary and secondary level, I will first assess the student's capability, and adjust the lesson plan accordingly based on school curriculum, prevailing examination standards, and said student's interest in exploring the depths of the English language

      For students studying Literature, I will focus more on analytic skills and writing ability, and focus on whichever areas are lacking. If the student so desires there is also room to further explore the history and cultural references that led to the creation of certain literary masterpieces, which will be immensely helpful to those who wish to seek a more varied understanding of the nuances of literature, something which all A'level literature students should be interested in.

      For GP students, my focus will be the development of critical thinkers. I am sorry to have to declare ahead of time but I have no interest in teaching students who only wish to know how to score "A" for GP. Majority of the lessons will engage the students in learning to see arguments from multiple perspectives instead of merely the usual dichotomy.

          I am very outgoing and enjoy making new friends. I believe that as a tutor, I should not be using that authority with my students but to make friends and to get to know them personally, and thus it will be easier to get to them, to teach them, as well to understand them better in terms of learning styles.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          As I have just graduated from Junior College, and having taught Math for Primary and Secondary School, I am quite up to date with the new syllabus for Math and English and Chinese. I often visit the bookstores to read up on assessment books to try to keep onto date, and test myself the knowledge.
          As a Good Tutor
          It is important to not just be a mere tutor to your student, but a mentor, a friend, and a role model so that he or she can look up to you and be motivated and inspired to work hard for himself. As a tutor, I think it is important to be responsible and dedicated to the job, and to follow your student all the way. For example, from sec 1 up to sec 4, as he would be very comfortable with the teaching style.

            Having taught at an established island-wide tuition centre for almost 2 years, I have gained much experience handling group tuition of 3 to 15 students. I recognise the need to follow the MOE syllabus very closely and believe that every student has the potential to do well as long as they have the right attitude.
            There should not be a homogeneous teaching method for all students. Students vary in their capabilities and teachers should adapt accordingly. For students who are weak in their foundation, to tackle the root of the problem is crucial and not jump into higher level questions. Only if students have a strong foundation can they be drilled and ace their examinations.
            I am keen to help your child improve and very earnestly, pass with flying colours.

            Tuition is not a two-way traffic, there needs to be communication between teacher and student, as well as between teacher and parent. I see the need to regularly update parents on the progress of the student so that parents can be assured of the improvements and be aware of the struggles faced by their child.

              Tuition/Teaching Experience
              I've taught 2 students before. Both of them were my sister's tutees. But I really put my heart and soul into teaching them. I even resorted to typing out qns that they weren't that good in, by using my own examples. So as to make sure that they really understood the concept. But personally, I do not scold or shout at my tutees. I demand standards but I do not force it upon them. I'm more of the naggy type. I would prefer to teach mathematics and sciences because those are my stronger subjects.

              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              Personally, i will try to stay updated with the curriculum by going to the popular to read up on the subjects i am teaching. I will also go online to read up on the topics so as to make sure that i have prior knowledge on the topic. This will no doubt help the tutee understand better.
              As a Good Tutor
              I feel that the qualities that good tutors should possess is patience. Even if the tutee is unable to understand a concept that is being put across, the tutor continues to

                I have previously done peer tutoring in secondary school as well as in my polytechnic. Although I have no formal experience in teaching, I have gone through many years of studying, and am able to understand the difficulties students go through. Thus, I am willing to find the best way to help the student do well.

                I can converse fluently in English. I am patient and able to connect with peers and juniors.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                I keep in touch with teachers from my past schools, and I also regularly look through the latest ten year series to keep myself up to date. I also contact my peers, who are also tutors, to keep myself updated.
                As a Good Tutor
                Instead of getting the students to memorise information, I will look for engaging ways for them to remember formulas, as well as to ensure that they understand how to apply them.
