Commitment / Other Details
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.

      Tuition/Teaching Experience
      Through tutoring of my peers in IB/ A level math for 2 years, I have found great joy in teaching. Knowing that my tutoring helped someone overcome their academic difficulties, clear their doubts, and helped them gain confidence in what was once their weak subject gives me a sense of fulfilment.

      Have experience in teaching English as a foreign language for 2 years. I have a strong command for the English language and a flair for writing. I am a very patient person and will take the utmost care to ensure your child has a good grasp of the language. I do so love English, and enjoy teaching it as well, and firmly believe that anyone can learn English effectively if taught in an interactive manner. I will focus on the essentials in the spheres of writing, listening and speaking.

      Rapport Building
      Every kid that comes under my tutelage will not only be my student, but will also be my friend, regardless of age. He/she can feel free to contact me anytime if there is any problem, even outside of academics, or with any questions regarding any matter at all. The same goes for his/her parents; they can contact me whenever necessary.
      I will also ensure that I keep the parents updated on a regular basis with their child's progress.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      As a Good Tutor
      I believe that more important than having the knowledge of the subject to teach (although essential as well), is the heart to teach at all. By first wanting to help students overcome their academic difficulties, and the desire to guide them is what makes a good tutor. Showing your student that you care deeply and believe in their potential will give them the very encouragement they need to reach out and achieve their goals.
      Because your tutor is not only your academic coach, but also your mentor, someone you turn to in times of difficulty, even outside of academics.

              Rapport Building
              In a typical tutoring session, I ask the child a little bit about his or her interests and their school, and then I ask where they're having trouble. Typically, I also expect a sample of their schoolwork and homework, as well as the most recent report card. If this isn't available, I ask them to write me a creative piece or an essay, or give them some comprehension questions I've prepared beforehand.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              I will go to the MOE's website and track down the English curriculum, then design exercises and activities using that.
              As a Good Tutor
              Warmth and rapport with students, regular feedback to parents, good assessment of students (e.g. regular tests, with scores recorded each time). Tutors need to be well-prepared and be passionate and knowledgeable about their subject(s).

                  Currently a NUS undergraduate, I am majoring in applied mathematics and doing a economics minor.I have been giving tuition to JC students and my students provided feedback to me that they find my explanations paced well and clear. I like to gather regular feedback from them to keep improving myself. My students have all showed great improvements, giving me a strong sense of accomplishment too.

                  Other than subject knowledge, I will teach my tutees skills in answering questions (looking out for keywords,making best usage of information given, correct presentation of answer etc).I am flexible with my teaching as I believe different style of teaching will be best suited for different personality. I am friendly, readily contactable and helpful. I can be humorous too.

                  Commitment / Other Details
                  I can start to teach anytime, but I can only commit up to end of year 2014 or I can only start after December. During 13 July-26 July, I will be gone for a short trip.
                  Rapport Building
                  I found from experience that humor plays a big part in rapport building and I have pretty good sense of humors even during tutoring. Interesting facts about the subject would be an example.
                  I am also happy while tutoring and students normally feel the passion behind my smiling so they respond positively.
