    Tuition Background
    (ex) MOE certified Teacher
    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    I taught in Unity Pr Sch from 2003-2010. I taught P5 and P6 classes. I started with Eng, Math and Science for the first three years. Thereafter, I specialised in the teaching of Mathematics; both High Ability and Low Ability classes, and Science. I set and vet Math papers for upper pr during my teaching years. Hence I am very familiar with PSLE questions.
    I stopped teaching in school after I have my second child. I have been giving private tuition and teaching at Mind Stretcher Learning Centre since then. I currently have classes from P3-P6 in Mathematics and Science; both Achiever and High Achiever classes at Mind Stretcher.

    Commitment / Other Details
    Teaching is my passion and I strongly believe that every child can achieve given the proper guidance. I taught pupils with Special Needs like ADHD, ASD, ADD, Dyslexia, when I was in school. Patience is the key when working with these pupils and I motivate them through reward system.
    Preparation for PSLE is like a marathon. We need to start the child at P3/4 for Science and latest at P5 for Mathematics. I believe exposure to common exam questions and practice are important for the child. I used to set and vet Math and Science papers for upper primary, hence, I am very familiar with the exam questions and strategies to problem solving.
    As a full time tutor, I aim to follow each child through to PSLE. I do not have fixed teaching methods as every child has different ability and learning needs. I will work closely with the child to tackle his weaknesses and reinforce his strengths. My role is to support and guide the child to unleash his/her potential.

        Tuition/Teaching Experience
        I am trained in managing students with special needs and would like to do specialised interventions in reading and handwriting interventions. With play therapy experience, I am also able to incorporate it into my sessions to aid learning better. My specialty is in dyslexia and language impairments. But I have gathered experience working with children with physical disabilities and dyspraxia. I use multisensory methods to teach reading and calculations to students with special needs and I am also trained in providing handwriting therapy to students who have weak fine motor control. I also conduct informal assessments to gauge the baseline and I will measure the improvement over the sessions.

        I am able to start immediately. My rates would range from 45-60 per hour, as I am providing a specialised intervention for children with special needs. I am focused in improving the reading, calculating and handwriting skills in children.

        It would be good if the students can come to my home, and that would be a 45 per hour. If I travel to the home, a nomimal transport fee would be charged. Fees are negotiable according to family income.

        I can also do group therapy so fees for each student would be lower.

        My preferred days would be Saturday mornings and afternoons for the time being. My sessions would be weekly.
        Rapport Building
        I am very open to feedback, and I am willing to allow parents to sit in for my sessions so that they learn the skills of teaching their children. I would do an informal assessment of every student and teach based on their needs. Regular feedback would be given to parents after every session. That's what I hope to do.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        My main job requires me to work closely with MOE schools, so I can keep up to date with the curriculum, My aim would be to help bridge the gap between the special needs students and the mainstream education.
        As a Good Tutor
        A good interventionist is someone who can relate well to the student, and is able to tailor teaching according to the student's needs.

            I am able to start after 6th Dec 2013 and able to provide as many classes as necessary to improve the students' results over the holidays.
            Rapport Building
            I build strong rapport with parents and students by talking to them before and after every class on their work progress. I will first talk to parents to understand how their child has been coping in their studies over the years and learn about their child's strengths and weaknesses before conducting my first class. I will then update the parent after each class on their child's progress. I will also build rapport with my students at the beginning by learning more about them in and out of school, such as their hobbies, so that they will feel comfortable with me and thus, will be more willing to listen to me in class. Next, I will learn about how their study habits are like and give advice to them.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            I will take a look at the past year examination papers and ensure that I keep updated with the latest examination system. I will also study their current textbooks to ensure that I share relevant knowledge for my students.
            As a Good Tutor
            I think that a good tutor should always be patient and caring towards their students. They should understand that each child is different, and has their individual ways of learning. Thus, a good tutor should take time to learn more about their student and try to adapt to the students' way of learning. Next, they should build good rapport with their students and make sure they are comfortable with the tutor. A good tutor should stay firm so that the student will not step over them and they will gain respect of the tutor.

                I was the president of students' council in my junior college and it has given me experience of motivating peers and boosting morale. Together with ample experience in peer tutoring, I will be able to keep students highly motivated and ensure consistent progress.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                I believe in holistic learning. While it is very important to be hardworking, many students forget the importance of studying smart and comprehending crucial exam techniques. With my own personal experience as a student, I will be able to educate certain details many students may ignore.

                I am also a strong believer in the usage of the syllabus as a guide to teaching and learning. It will ensure the students are always able to relate back to what is being tested in the Cambridge exams and not be too caught up about irrelevant questions. At the end of the day, what really matters is the result for 'O' level examinations and not internally set school papers. While the latter is STILL important the former is undeniably the most important. I firmly believe in working towards the former.
                As a Good Tutor
                I am patient and articulate. With my experiences as a student and as a leader, coupled with my understanding of the content which stretches beyond what is required in the syllabus, I will be able to teach holistically and open his/her perspectives of the world and the relevance of what is being learnt.
