Tuition/Teaching Experience
Although I have about nine years of teaching experience under my belt, what I have learned is that teachers or tutors must be updated and abreast of the changes in the MOE and education industry, be it the contents, the ways of learning, and, of course, the exam format. We do not learn for exam per say, but we do need to teach how to tackle exam formats. Too often we hear comments such as "Your child is weak in this area" but without much support. I understand the constraints and I can be the one who can plug in the gap and provide the support for your child to overcome his/her areas of concerns or to reach a breakthrough in his/her academics. I have the content knowledge, the pedagogical knowledge but most importantly, a desire to see your child improve or be at his/her best.

Commitment / Other Details
I am free throughout the year with the exceptions of short breaks in the school holidays. I will try my best to accommodate and will leave you with my personal number for contact throughout.
Rapport Building
Parents are free to message me their questions and I will reply as soon as I can. I prefer to let the parents know what I have covered generally at least for each session so that there is accountability.
Personally, I will let the student know that we are learning together, practising together. I do not intend to pressure the student as much as he/she is already feeling it from the school. In a secure environment, the student will not be afraid to ask or make mistakes and even give honest replies about his/her concerns.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I left in Feb 2015. I am abreast with the new PSLE exam format which starts this year. I am still updated via websites and a close circle of teacher friends. I may have left the service, but I am still as updated about pedagogies, contents and formats.
As a Good Tutor
Accountability, ease of contact, a desire to really aid the student count a lot. To be updated with MOE's teaching styles and contents is a responsibility. I have seen and understood the constraints and conflicts between schools and tutors. While I respect the schools' teachers by accommodating to their style of work, I will also work in the interest of my individual student.

      Since my polytechnic days, I have been helping my peers in coaching them with picking up programming concepts as well as helping them with their coursework. Working with many of my peers, I came to under understood that everyone have their very own sticking points. Solving the sticking points often helps in learning programming concepts. Thus I always try to spend time in understand what are the specifics problem one is facing in picking programming.

      Many people when started studying programming, face with the problem of not knowing how to start to approach their programming assignments and usually have doubt in their understanding of the concepts. Because of this, some may find that programming is a very complicated subject.

      For the beginning, we will first sit down to find out your understanding of the subject and determine what concepts are you having difficulty with. We will then target the specific topics and do practices to you have a good grip on the topic before proceeding.

      In addition to learning about the language, you will learn techniques and skills that can help when writing programs.

      -how to break down a problem into parts and to start writing solution for them

      -When writing program, it unusual to not error when you first compile your program. you will learn how to read the compilation error message and reduce the your time in fixing them.

      -Learn how to make use of a debugger to debug your program. This will help to reduce the time it takes in finding out what is causing unexpected behaviour of your code.

            I prefer to keep in touch with the parents during every lesson. this way, the parents would be able to guide the students in between lesson days. Parents are also encouraged to keep in touch with me via messaging or watsapp to check on their children's progress.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            Yearly syllabus updates sent by MOE is brought under light and i keep updating my notes accordingly. I keep up closely with the schools in order to emphasize on the strong building of fundamentals in the students. I do not deviate from the school curriculum, as this will completely defeat the purpose of attending tuition classes.
            As a Good Tutor
            We must understand the needs of a student, beyond studies. Some students may not be able to focus well in certain subjects due to their aversion and dislike. we need to understand their interest and make them like the subject by teaching it in a way they like. for this we need to understand the students well.

            I had one year of official teaching experience, which I had taught a Secondary 3 student with her Math. After teaching her for the first month, she improved vastly as she started to understand the concepts that she previously cannot understand.

            While in secondary school, I often returned to my primary school to teach Primary 5 and 6 students who were faring poorly in their Math and helped them out in their schoolwork. The students very often returned with great improvements and jumps in their grades. In Junior College, I participated in the Straits Time Step-up programme in which I volunteered to teach and supervise the lower income Primary 6 students in their schoolwork. This helped them greatly in their preparation for PSLE.

              I would prefer to hold classes either during the weekends (morning/ Afternoon) or weekday evenings. Timing and duration of classes can be arranged. Certificates may be viewed upon request.
              Rapport Building
              I have an easy going personality and is willing to listen to the child in order to minimize his/her weakness. It is also crucial that parents are kept up to date with the current progress of the child so as to be able to assist and provide the moral support along their academic journey.
