Tuition/Teaching Experience
New at teaching actual students, but I've always had fun teaching my friends particular topics that I was stronger in from my schooling days. I've been described as cheerful and patient, traits which I find are important especially in teaching, as every person absorbs subject matter better if they are having fun, or at least learning without a heavy heart!

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately. I have exams near the end of October but I am able to work out a schedule!

I have a few family trips in in early November and December but they are less than five days each and are relatively short.

In January, I start school again but my classes are from 12-3pm as of now so I will be able to maintain any tuition jobs that I have currently running.

As a Good Tutor
I think the basic qualities of a good tutor is to be able to make a subject interesting, if a tutor is able to do that, the rate of which a student can absorb the material will greatly increase. It's proven that when students learn more when they are mentally stimulated.

Patience is also important for certain students who require more time to learn or memorize certain formulas, and knowing that every student takes different times to learn the same material is vital when you are a tutor.

Also, to be friendly and warming will generally make any conversation, for education purposes or otherwise, much more entertaining and engaging.

    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    I have been giving part time tuition for English and lower secondary Science subjects. I have worked with students from both Primary and Secondary levels. Besides tuition, I have also conducted personal grooming and CV writing/Interview workshops for polytechnic students. I mainly teach English and have taught a few freelance creative writing classes in primary schools previously for a tuition company. I have been giving part time tuition on a frequent basis for almost 3 years now and believe I have the experience and skills to help students.

    I will be able to start from the 21st of October 2013, and am able to give daily tuition sessions.
    Rapport Building
    I majored in Psychology for my undergraduate degree, hence I have a good understanding of childhood behavior and have had experience in dealing with children of all ages. I have also been giving part time tuition and volunteer at a student care service hence I believe I have enough experience with students and being able to understand them and help them. I have not had much trouble dealing with children thus far, and enjoy most of my sessions with my students. I believe I will be able to handle parents professionally and should not have a problem building good rapport with both my students and their parents.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    As I have mentioned, I have been giving tuition for a few years now on a frequent basis hence I have a good idea of what the current curriculum entails. Nonetheless, I also get information off friends and colleagues who are current teachers and/or NIE students.
    As a Good Tutor
    I believe a good tutor must be able to understand the needs of his/her student. It will be good for the tutor to have a background of not only the student's academic skills, but also other information such as family background and hobbies/interests. This is so that the tutor will be able to gauge the student and understand him/her on a personal level. This will help the tutor to deliver the session in a way that will suit the student best and capture the attention of the student.

      Commitment / Other Details
      I am currently in the army so I only have the weekends off. I would prefer Saturday and Sunday mornings or early afternoons. I would like to start in December when I'll have more free time to commit.
      Rapport Building
      I want to respect the students as individuals rather than treat them as poor students who need help. I am willing to hear out opinions and offer suggestions or solutions to problems rather than give a strict answer to every issue. I believe I am able to communicate effectively with the parents and students.
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
      I read the news from time to time so I know about current affairs. I also enjoy reading for leisure so I have a good command of English. I believe I am competent in my analytical skills, enough to offer advice on subjects such as General Paper or English Literature.
      As a Good Tutor
      I think teaching is also learning so as a tutor I do not want to come across as domineering or force the students to do work they find meaningless. I believe in effective communication to do well in both work and life. Responsibility to the work, the parents and the students is also important. I think a good tutor will teach students beyond what is required and help them appreciate what they study.

        I am from China and many of my friends in school choose to do a part-time Chinese tutor. I think it is a good experience if I can have a part-time job during my undergraduate study. I'd like to teach Chinese as well as Math, which are much easier to handle and get a good grade in exams. I will try my best to explain every question so that the students can make progress in their exam results.

            From my schooling I have helped my peers in learning topics that seems hard to threm. during college I trained a girl in class who was scoring very low grades and she had started getting confidence in studying and approaching concepts.
            This has been a great start for me, which helped m,e build my own confidence in teaching.
            Also, after my MS in NTU, I plan on taking a PhD for comfortaly moving on to the academia field and to contribute to the society throuygh teaching.

                  I am able to start anytime. I currently have 4 students under me. I had taught a total of 19 students in the past 13 years. They were under me for many years from primary to secondary school.
                  I have established a good rapport with my students and parents. They have shown great improvement with my supervision. I will teach each student according to their needs and try my best to make them improve. This is a challenge to me. I am also a good listener. Students like to share their problems with me and we usually become friends. I enjoy teaching and this is probably the drive to make me keep going.
