Tuition/Teaching Experience
With 5 years of tutoring, I have experience teaching P6 Malay to my previous tutee to help her improve her grades. She was not doing well in her MT subject and her grade would not allow her to take up Higher Malay in secondary school. In the end, I managed to help her achieve an A* for her PSLE Malay and she managed to take HMT in her secondary school.

Apart from Malay, I also have experience teaching lower sec Maths and Science, as well as primary 5 maths. All tutees were failing badly in these two subjects and required immediate help. The end results was that the primary school girl managed to finally pass her maths, and the secondary school girl managed to improve from an F9 for maths and E8 for science to Cs for both subjects. Currently I'm teaching 'N' Level Malay.

Commitment / Other Details
I can start immediately or when requested. I'm able to commit as long as the student needs me to tutor him/her.
Rapport Building
I believe that communication is very important, both between students and also parents. I usually request parents to fill me in with details regarding their child before I personally ask my students about their strengths and weaknesses.

I firmly believe that asking questions during lessons are important, but some students tend to be shy. With such students, I usually take the initiative to ask them questions to make them be more open and comfortable during lessons. Communication is important between student and teacher to determine the level of understanding.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I use ten year series and assessment books that are up to date.
As a Good Tutor
Care, engaging, understanding, patience and also a sense of humour.

      I have been teaching Mathematics for about 2 years for primary level to secondary 2 level.
      I used to teach as a student tutor to polytechnic students in Temasek Polytechnic on Engineering Mathematics 1. Mathematics has always been my forte and i definitely enjoy teaching mathematics.

      I have benefited from my teachers when i was younger and now i am hoping to also share my knowledge and expertise with those who need assistance. I am active in community services involving young children therefore i am able to communicate well with my students.

      As a Good Tutor
      Responsibility is the most important characteristics of being a good tutor. It is our duty to ensure that the student learn after every lesson as well as focusing on areas in which the student may be weak in.

      Patience should also be a key attribute to being a good tutor.

          I can start immediately. Preferably between 1.5 hours to 2 full hours. This length may be increased free of charge depending on the student.

          Preferably in the afternoon.
          Rapport Building
          Jokes, laughter. Building teaching material that the student can identify with. Have personally crafted worksheets (Science, English, Math) for students from primary 3 to primary 6.

          As for parents i give them a peace of mind by enabling the students to contact me directly therefore giving lesser of a burden to the parents. All students are free to directly ask me questions in regards to their school work and other matters.

          When it comes to the timing of tuition I usually allow the parents the convenience of day and time as I personally believe that tuition is for the convenience of the parents.

          Lastly, and i think it goes without saying that this is a necessity, humility, patience and being considerate to both parents and student is a common practice by me.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          I have actively researched the curriculum and have been keeping up with the changes this last 3 years. I do this in a number of ways.

          1) Yearly MOE curriculum publication

          From this I merely glean the changes they have made so as to follow up on the needs of my students as well as my material.

          2) Yearly Top 10 School Papers.

          From this I can glean methods as well as insights which the top schools provide that i can than use to teach my students.

          3) Start of year, reviewing the textbooks.

          Thanks to my current intake, i have access to the textbooks of students ranging from primary 3 to secondary 2. This allows me to forecast what the school expects from the student.
          As a Good Tutor
          As I mentioned above, humility, patience and being considerate to both parents and student is a common practice by me.

          I am only human, which means i only have 24 hours a day. My sessions are usually 2 hours in length which means I have to make the 2 hours count.

          However I believe that pacing the student, knowing the student well to better gauge his or her ability is more important than simply pushing in the material.

          As a private tutor I can happily say that this is the only platform where one to one teaching is tolerated and thus the benefits of catering fully to a single students needs can be satisfied.

                As a Good Tutor
                Knowledge aside, a good tutor should be committed beyond the financial reward, and have a heart for the younger generations. Patience and discipline is essential, alongside a desire to see students excel in both their studies and personal growth.

                  Tuition/Teaching Experience
                  I have tutored primary school students from all levels on voluntary basis in the past and am currently taking on two Primary 4 students, as well as a Sec 2 student. I believe in being creative with lessons, keeping learning fun and interesting for both the tutor and tutee. I have learnt that fostering a rapport between tutor and tutee makes for more successful sessions.

                  Commitment / Other Details
                  I am able to start as soon as possible. Durations of commitment can be negotiated.
                  Rapport Building
                  Keeping lessons interesting is a priority for me. As a student, the best lessons are the ones that inspire me to learn, even with subjects that I disliked. I aim to provide my students with such inspiration. Parents need to know that their children's best interests are in order, and I hope to show that I truly care about their child's well-being.
                  Keeping Up with Curriculum
                  I have a family member who is a full-time primary school teacher and is able to advise me on the current curriculum.
                  As a Good Tutor
                  Inspirational, caring, thoughtful. In school, a student blends in with at least 39 other kids. A tutor should be able to give the student the attention that he/she lacks in class.
