I believe in not spoon feeding the answer. By guiding the student, they will be able to grasp the logic behind. This will allow them to learn better and tackle the same problem in the future.

Rapport Building
In order for the student to learn well, I believe one must be able to gain the trust of the student and parents. As a tutor, I believe one needs to be strict, but at the same time encourage and motivate the student at the same time so that the student would not be too resistant to go for tuition classes. After each lesson, feedback would be given to the parent so that they know what is the progress of their kid.

    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    I have over 15 years of tutoring experience. Teaching mostly English, Maths and Science for primary schoolers. I taught lower Secondary Maths as well.
    I'm strong in my Maths. I taught kids who are weak in their Maths. For an example, one of my P6 students got 50 plus for her prelims.. I only taught her after her prelims results.. for a few months. For her PSLE, she scored a 60 plus which was a B grade.

    Rapport Building
    I will go through the textbooks with the kids first and find out what they don't understand exactly and tackle the root of the problem before embarking on assessment books. Thereafter when the concepts are understood I will drill them on assessment books. Parents are also welcome to get feedback at the end of each lesson.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I will teach the kids the current curriculum and if the kids are able to grasp the concepts I will teach them beyond what the school is teaching.
    As a Good Tutor
    I will need to understand why the kids are doing badly in school.. understand their problems before providing them a solution.

Additionally, I have also been enrolled in such tuition programmes and thus I feel that I will be able to relate better and know what it is that students seek during such tutoring sessions.

              I have taught secondary school students before, mainly Mathematics and Sciences. I love Mathematics and it is my joy to see students becoming more interested in the subject as well. I am patient and do not mind explaining more so that students can understand. I like to give examples to help students see the solution and ask questions to lead them towards the answer.

                I have been teaching tuition for almost 5 years, seeing through primary students in different levels, across different subjects. I put emphasis on interest in the subject level, such that the students are able to enjoy while learning at the same time. I also would want to build a rapport with the parents together with the students, in trying to create a more holistic learning environment for the children. As an NIE Trainee, I have also been exposed to handling young children so it would not be that much of a problem to me. I hope to be able to help my students focus and learn better, so as to make marked improvements in their grades.

                I can start immediately, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Weekends. I will be having exams in April but I will try not to change the lessons too much, so as to allow my students to be able to stick to a fixed schedule.
                Rapport Building
                I normally would always ask about how my students are doing in school, and if they face a particular difficulty in the subjects. I would normally start by clearing doubts before moving onto the actual teaching.
                For parents, I would focus on giving them periodical updates, as well as enquiring any questions I may have of my students, to ensure that I can provide the most comprehensive tutoring experience to the students.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                As an NIE Trainee, I would have access to the current textbooks available in the schools, and I can also refer to it frequently. Also, I have friends currently working in schools and thus I would be able to retrieve any information regarding curriculum from them.
                As a Good Tutor
                I think it is important for a tutor to be sensitive to the needs of his/her individual students. There is no one-size-fits-all formula in teaching and one has to be flexible and adaptive in their teaching. We also have to look out for our student's emotional well being, so as to be sure that they can learn better.

                  Keeping Up with Curriculum
                  Having students from all educational level (Primary to JC), I am in touch with the SEAB syllabus. My two years in PFS (Prison Fellowship Singapore) gave me an opportunity to interact with students aged 7 to 12 (P1 to P6). Through interacting with them, I am now more able to communicate with students better. Moreover, I am able to understand issues faced by students while studying and what are the factors leading to them not scoring well for exam. Being an undergraduate, I am able to guide students not just in their studies but also how to cope with stress and tips for preparation for exams. Despite the constant changing of syllabus for primary and secondary level, I have been keeping up to date with the syllabus.
                  As a Good Tutor
                  As a tutor, my main responsibilities is to teach. Studying is not only about memorizing textbook content and constant practicing. It is about how one can absorb the information learnt and APPLY it to the questions. Hence, I would usually go through a summarized version of the content which is easier for the student to understand and reduce the time needed to source through the textbook for main points. Next, I will go through question analyse (Various exam question type) and help student understand what the questions are asking for. Subsequently, I would craft out a set of answers (ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT for ECONOMICS and SCIENCE) for the students to follow. Having obtained constant As for math during ALL my major exams, I am able to share with the students on how to do well for math and help them ace their exams too.

                  However, to be a good tutor, I will guide and mentor my students. Guiding them in terms of preparation for exams, coping with workload, stress management as well as time management. Stress is the killer factor resulting to the poor results of many students, having to deal with stress is crucial in obtaining good grades. Hence, I would share my personal experience and ways to reduce stress with the students. Moreover, having been through the same education path, I am able to gauge the amount of homework I give, knowing that they have many school work to complete.

                  At times, students need help not just during tuition time but also in their own free time when they are practicing questions. I would encourage them to ask me questions whenever they need help, because sometimes 1.5hrs or 2hrs during tuition is not sufficient for them to clarify their doubts.

                  To add on, I have been through various Math competitions (Australian Math Competition, American Math Competition, Singapore Math Olympiad and TI-shanghai Cup). Thus able to provide help if students are planning to take part in any of these competitions.

                    - Taught 4 students, 1st student improved from F9 to A2, 2nd student improved from F9 to B4. 3rd Student improved from F9 to B3, 4th student improved from F9 to A2.
                    I love teaching secondary students easy and clear cut methods to solve all the mathematics questions. I find that schools are overloading students with too much information that are required with reference to most students taking 7 subjects in secondary school. I would love to cut down the students' burden of learning unnecessary content and focus and tackle on content that are useful for their learning and enjoyment.

                    I can find common topics and conversation with the students based on what is happening on ground. I was once a secondary school student, I can really empathize how much work and stress they have to go through, and I want to do is to help them, to assist them in enjoying learning.
                    Keeping Up with Curriculum
                    I always update myself with my other undergraduate friends who are teaching tuition as well. We exchange past year papers and make sure that our topics and chapters are updated based on SEAB.
                    As a Good Tutor
                    I have patience with students that are slow learner and also have determination to make sure that they understand before moving on to the next concept. And I am confident to make my students ACE in their exams as long as they are putting in consistent effort in tuition period. I will also reward my students for doing well so as to spurs them to go after the next milestone.
