Tuition/Teaching Experience
I'm an undergraduate currently waiting for matriculation in NUS Chemical Engineering for AY 14/15. My previous tuition experiences includes teaching secondary 3 and 4 maths and physics through recommendation from my neighbours, and my sister who just recently completed her A levels. Thus I'm targeting any O/A-level students studying Physics, Math or chemistry as these knowledge are more familiar and recent to me, having just completed A level myself 2 years ago.

Rapport Building
As a tutor and once a student myself, I believe in understanding concepts entirely before I actually start tackling questions. I aim to provide my students with an apt and solid foundation in academic concepts so as to achieve success. Full cooperation of the student is also required in order to achieve the desired objectives.

      Rapport Building
      I don't make it a point to build rapport with the parents. But I feel that its my duty to update them on their child's progress. Be it good news or bad, I believe that the parent should know about their child's progress and would make it a point to inform them at least once a month.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      I have friends who are teachers and they update me on the major changes with respect to the curriculum.

        I can start ASAP and will be able to do so till the end of 2014. I will most likely not be going for any lengthy overseas trips until the end of next year. I am available from Monday to Friday after 6pm (varies from day to day), Saturday after 2pm and anytime on Sunday.
        Rapport Building
        As a tutor, the best way to establish rapport is to be, and stay dedicated to his/her student. During the lesson, I focus entirely on the student and try my best to guide my tutee along. I refrain from using criticisms and instead more compliments to encourage my students. To build rapport with the parents, I will feed back to them any comments I have, and anything I think that will help the student to better in his/her studies.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I have recently graduated from JC a year ago, and is still quite familiar with the syllabus. I have also just finished teaching an O level student. I update myself with the curriculum by reading through her text book and planning lessons beforehand, and try my best to sync my lesson contents with her's in school.
        As a Good Tutor
        A good tutor's ultimate goal is to improve the results of the student he/she is teaching. Different tutors have different methods, and as long as the end is achieved with appropriate means, he/she is a good tutor.

        I personally strongly believe in mastery learning. This encompasses understanding followed by consistent practice. I think familiarization with every type of questions is the best way to establish the correct thinking process required to solve any question.
