Tuition/Teaching Experience
I've been a tutor since my undergraduate days. After my NIE training, I taught in a top school for five years, before becoming a full time tutor in 2005. Each year, at least 2/3 of my students will get distinctions (A1/A2) for their O Levels E and A Math. A number of students improved from a F9 grade to a Distinction grade. Some years, I achieved a 100% distinction rate.

I've taught students from all Secondary levels (Sec 1 to 5), including students from IP, IB, International Schools, and mainstream schools. I am also currently teaching in a tuition center in the Central Area.

Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have taught primary and secondary levels. Primary level-i have thought English, Maths and Malay language. My tutees did not do well at start. But after going through multiple practices and exercises my tutees did well for their exams and attained favorable results. I will go through topic by topic starting with the weak ones and then move up to the more manageable ones. As this would allow the student time to get used to the weak topics and cope with the subject(s). Secondary level-I have thought E-maths and A-maths. My tutee started off being very weak in her E-maths but after much drilling and countless practices on topics that she's weak at especially trigonometry. I will put in more focus on the student's weak topics and make sure they grasp the basic concept before moving on.

I will make sure that the tutee feel comfortable and relax with me. I will build a friend-friend environment instead of a teacher-student environment. This would enable the tutee to feel comfortable in asking questions and doubts.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will frequently ask when is her tests or exams so that i can prepare my tutee beforehand.
As a Good Tutor
I believe as a tutor we should definitely be patient and ready to answer any kind of doubts and questions that is being asked. We should also be committed to our tutee and cater to their needs such as more revision or practice needed and not stick to the timeline we had stated, thus, we need to be more flexible to fit the situation at hand. Finally, make sure the tutee understand every single lesson and that they are able to keep up with the lessons being prepared.

I have handled students from different backgrounds, students who are from normal acad, boys home to elite schools.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I usually stay longer for the first lesson so that I can spend some time going through the curriculum and the school's specific requirements. My sisters children are already in secondary school and I learn about their curriculum when they ask me questions on various subjects.
As a Good Tutor
Being patient, flexible, encouraging and helpful are some of the most important attributes of a good tutor. Its not just about getting them to do well in studies but also do well in life by having more confidence and knowing how to treat people in life.

    I create an interactive and supportive learning environment where students find it comfortable to share their difficulties with me and pose questions for clarity.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    As I only left the teaching service in 2013, I am well-versed with the current requirements of the English Language and Chemistry/Lower Sec Science syllabuses.

    With a rather good outlook of how the curriculums will develop in future, it will be easy for me to comprehend any changes that might be in place in the new syllabuses.
    As a Good Tutor
    I teach from my student's perspectives. There will be different sets of problems with every student, so it is important for them to know my emerging expectations of them as they level up in their learning.

    My mentoring does not just end when the time is up for each session. Students know that they can make quick clarifications via text messages.

    I seize opportunities to inculcate values of RESPECT, SELF-DISCIPLINE and OWNERSHIP in my interactions with my students. I mentor my students, not just "teach", because I believe that while my job is to get them their good grades, character development is paramount.

      I have about 7 months of experience. I have had 3 formal students so far, 1 PSLE student and 2 secondary 3 students.

      I do plan to take up tutoring, teaching and mentoring as a career and hope that providing tutiton now can help me a better feel for what I will be doing for the rest of my life. Having tutored my neighbours' children informally for the past 2 years, I have developed very close ties with them. Even after moving house, they regularly keep me updated about their exams and scholastic activities.

      Similarly, I look forward to establishing long term relationships with my students, where our professional relationship melds into one of mutual empathy.

      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      Because I studied at NUS High, where the standard and rigor of our course content is very high, I can assist students effectively and promptly with their queries. I also pursue my own self studies during my free time to keep myself sharp while waiting for university proper.

      I like to challenge myself, a fact which can be readily seen from how I squeezed in an NUS module in my lat year of high school. I do not make compromises with my own learning, and am therefore well placed to help out with my students at all times.
      As a Good Tutor
      Tutors should be patient, knowledgeable and humble. Patience is important bacause students grasp different concepts differently. Having the patience to not give up on a student is especailly critical while correcting concepts wrongly understood or internalised.

      Another basic requirement of a tutor is to have a large knowledge bank. This goes without saying - a tutor who lacks knowledge is not a tutor at all.

      The last point, humility, is often overlooked, especially by many of my peers who provide tution as well. Humility helps you recongnise your shortcomings and work on them. As a tutor, it is pretty easy to mask such shortcomings, at the expense of your own integrity, self respect and students' prospects. Humility brings about the realization that we are not perfect and that continuous work is required to maintain and surpass our standards.

        I have been teaching for 7 years, specialising only in secondary school education. I specialise in group tuition of not more than 3 as I believe that this group size makes teaching and learning effective.

        My core teaching methods are mainly socratic questioning, inquiry based questions, drill and practice.

        I am a firm believer in bringing out the best in my students. I have taught students who used to fail their subjects to improving to at least an A2.

        Some students have thought that my teaching methods were rigorous and were stressful. But, at the end of the day, they appreciate and are thankful to me.
