Tuition/Teaching Experience
I am currently a Medicine undergraduate studying at NUS. I previously taught Sec 2 and Sec 3 Biology and Mathematics at BPGHS. I've been tutoring for 1.5 years and have taught numerous students (1 improved from F9 to B3 for 2014 O Levels Math after being taught by me for 9 months).

My style is that I will usually go through the key concepts of a topic with them, and explain common misconceptions made by other students. After which, I will let them try different questions that I have selected, during the class itself to assess their understanding. These questions are of varying difficulty levels, from past year exams and those which are commonly seen in exams. I will then mark their work and explain their mistakes to them.

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately, and I will not give up on my students so long as they do not give up on themselves.

Rates are negotiable as long as they are reasonable (: I can arrange for 1-1 or group tuition at the tutee's or at my house depending on the tutee's preference (:
Rapport Building
It depends on their personalities and characters. I try to understand their expectations of me as well as of the tuition sessions, and I try to push them to where they would like to be. I will try to plan out for them, and set targets for them e.g. by this time you should be able to get.... and so on. It is easier and better if the students are on the same page, so I will try to get them to see the end goal, and what we have to do together to reach there. It is also important to let them feel and know that they are not alone and that we as teachers will always be supporting them.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I recently graduated from JC, so I am rather familiar with the A Levels syllabus. I will also check the MOE syllabuses before taking on students.
As a Good Tutor
Good tutors must be dedicated and committed. This means he/she must have the heart to teach and must want the student to excel as much as the student himself/herself wants. Good tutors cannot give up on their students and must have the patience and determination to follow them through all the way, even if it gets tough. They must be willing to find answers for the tutees even if they are unable to come up with solutions for them immediately. I personally am still my tutee's tuition teacher even outside our tuition lessons. She can call or whatsapp me questions, to which I will solve and answer as soon as I can.

            Rapport Building
            Building rapport with students and parents are equally important to help a student improve. On one side, you will have to understand the student learning habits and what they are weak in to feedback to the parents, to ensure that parents will also know how to educate their children when the tuition teachers are not around. Parents can also feedback to tuition teachers what they had observed and feedback to me. I make it a point to stay back for 5-10 min to talk to the parents when they are available at least twice a month, or better after every lesson to summarise what I have done for the day and what they should take note of. I am also open to suggestions and discussions for parents to feedback to me what they would want me to do. An open discussion is important to build rapport with both the parents and the students and for the students to feel comfortable with the teachers to allow him/her to ask questions at a more comfortable environment.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            Reading up on MOE website, talking frequently to my MOE teachers and sometimes looking out for materials/borrowing from them to see the changes in curriculum.
            As a Good Tutor
            Open discussion with students/parents, understanding the needs and weakness of students and also the plus points of students. Allow students to have freedom in asking questions and ensuring they understand the concept/theory rather than just memorising. Aim to see improvements in students results and able to commit to tuition.

              I try my best to communicate with the students based on what would interest them.
              For example, I will always make an effort to find out about their schooling experience and what bothers them in school. This way, I can ensure that my student feels comfortable and would have an environment which they will excel in during the tuition session.

              As for parents, I will make sure that I give them regular updates on the progress of their child, so that they will always be aware of how their child is doing.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              My mother is a primary school teacher and I am a relief teacher at Northland Primary School, and as such, I am very familiar with the syllabus of the primary school students.

              As for secondary school students, I will definitely revisit my old textbooks which I have kept, in order to keep in touch with those work. Also, I will contact my friends and teachers in such schools to make sure that I know the syllabus well.
              As a Good Tutor
              I think that a tutor has to be passionate about teaching, and also be committed and determined to make the learning experience for the student as enjoyable and meaningful as possible.

                Being a student, athlete and an NS reconnaissance commander, who has faced numerous setbacks, Wei Han understands the importance of hard work, perseverence in hardship, stepping out of the comfort zone, and support from family and friends.
                As such, Wei Han will not only serve as a good tutor, but also a good mentor and confidante to his students.

                  3 years of tutoring experience in both private and tuition centres.
                  I do no just teach, but I also look into the child's behaviour using psychology, applying to help them realizing their potentials and to understand difficult concepts.

                  I customizes memory techniques like mnemonics that cater to the student and motivates with patience and care.

                  I am very confident in reaching out to the child's potentials.
