I am currently a full-time teacher and I am fully-trained in NIE. I make sure that there is a good balance of fun and seriouness in my lessons.

        I love teaching and currently pursing my studies in NUS. I have been tutoring for the past 5 years. I had taught students who are slow in learning and it is a joy to see how they learn. Furthermore, I have received feedbacks from parents on the good methods and was very patience with their kids. I have also conducted a class of about 20 students in a tutorial centres before the period of entering in NUS. Through this experience, I am able to understand how different child learning habits and help them to improve.

        I will often update the parents on the progress of their children and will give constructive feedbacks on how to inspire the student to learn. I believe that the constant update of the student's progress should come from the tutor. Furthermore, it will be good to receive feedbacks on the learning patterns of those children from their families members.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        Normally I will keep updated with the curriculum as I had been in this line for the past 5 years. Currently, I had 2 tuition kids and we have been following the school syllabus.

          Tuition/Teaching Experience
          I have taught students in both English and English Literature in lower and upper secondary schools previously. Students oftentimes think that they cannot do much for these subjects, and complain that they "cannot study" for it, however, there is a certain methodology to develop one's thinking process to excel in both the language and the subject.

          I am currently an undergraduate in English in NTU and personally, I love talking about and teaching literature. Though many view it as a subject that is mostly fluff, I strongly opine that literature allows one to have an acute perspective on matters and is important in developing one's maturity.

          Commitment / Other Details
          Barring Tuesday nights, all days are negotiable. During the semester for university, lessons are dependent on my timetable. Weekday nights (except for Tuesdays) should all be fine. I am able to start immediately.

          Materials, including readings, guidelines, exercises, be it comprehension or unseen poetry/prose, will be provided by me. No assessment books are needed on the student's part. Should the school have prescribed textbooks for the subject, I will assess the textbooks' suitability for lessons and adjust accordingly. Lessons last for one and a half hours for a single subject, and two for two subjects. This is to ensure the student's attention span is not exhausted, and money is not wasted on unproductive hours. Should there be requests for longer lessons closer to the exam period, I will strongly discourage it, but will agree to it if the parent is insistent and/or the student is eager to learn more.
          Rapport Building
          I welcome parents to give feedback or to express concerns regarding their children. Talks do not have to be centered upon grades, but should also include other aspects of the student's school/home life. I love getting to know my students, and in the process, I hope the parent will get to know their child better too (:
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          As a Good Tutor
          Good tutors get to know their students in depth and adjust the pace of the lessons accordingly. My lessons all revolve around the same principles, starting from clarity in writing and slowly advancing to sophistication in arguments and analysis, but proceed at different rhythms for different students.

                My goal is to ensure that all my students enjoy our lessons and learn to love the English language/subject, which will naturally lead to an improvement in their English competency. I aim to inspire my students to overcome their fears and frustration to gain confidence in achieving better results in English.

                I'm also experienced in teaching students who have mild dyslexia, autism and ADHD.

                Love working with children, patient, dedicated, responsible, creative and resourceful - going the extra mile.

                I'm more than a tutor, I see myself as my students' mentor/counsellor :)

                Language enthusiast - besides English and Chinese, I'm also fluent in French (worked in France for 5 years). Basic German (studied it for 2 years) and Japanese (studied 4 years as third language for O level).
                Rapport Building
                Get to know the student through regular conversation. Be their listening ear.
                Constant encouragement and regular pep-talk. Start by boosting their confidence by letting them succeed at easier exercises, and closely coach them in more difficult ones to help them improve.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                Regularly check with friends who are current school teachers on any curriculum updates. Research online for more info.

                Tuition/Teaching Experience
                Teaching for 1 year. Only have 1 student, as it was passed over from a friend. Did not register with tuition agencies. I can be a great tutor because I am patient with the students, and it is a joy for me to be able to help to groom the students to achieve good results, and significant improvements in their grades.

                Commitment / Other Details
                I am able to begin immediately, weekdays included. However, after August 2014, I would be only be able to make it on weekends due to school, but I will make certain exceptions. Will do a double session on weekends. Can commit till Dec 2014, then I will be going on exchange for 6 months. Will find another suitable tutor for the student.
                Rapport Building
                I would talk to them like a friend, and not a teacher. Instead of constantly bugging them to do their work, I would give them occasional short breaks and motivate them. I will talk to their parents after every session to discuss what I've gone through with their kids, and what they can improve on.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                I read up on textbooks to refresh myself on concepts that are being taught now in schools.
                As a Good Tutor
                A good tutor must possess patience, knowledge, dedication, commitment, excellence, and most importantly, to be able to help the students to achieve their desired results.
