    Rapport Building
    Apart from teaching my students well, I show concern and interest in their lives by discussing on matters beyond the books.
    With the students, I talk about their interests and aspirations; likes and dislikes; current trends and topics; fun and challenges they meet in school or at home, matters that motivate or discourage them, encourage them to communicate the difficulties they encounter with their learning, etc.
    With younger learners, I reward them with little gifts of encouragement, celebrate their birthdays taking them out (with their parents' consent).

    With their parents, if they 'allow', I politely ask about their day and communicate as appropriate on challenges they may have with their children or even at work and offer advice and my perspective, hoping they can help. I often provide them feedback on their child's progress and how they can support them in their learning and development.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I take reference from MOE websites on changes and updates.
    I 'study' assessment books and refer to students' textbooks and school written work.
    I attend parents' workshops and google and read online.
    As a Good Tutor
    A good tutor ...
    1. understands the learner
    What motivates them, what are their strengths (how they learn); what are their learning difficulties.
    2. is able to identify learners' area of weaknesses in their subject matter
    - to enable effective teaching
    3. can effectively teach which makes learners understand
    3. is patient and fun
    4. establishes good rapport with students
    5. is concerned with their progress and lives


    My strength in teaching and tutoring...
    During my teaching in MOE schools, I was given level head positions and have learned diagnostic skills to effectively teach my weaker students in Math and English.
    As a tutor, I believe in effective teaching, adopting diagnostic skills to identify students' weaknesses and coaching them with self-designed materials to allow better improvement.
    In my years of teaching and tutoring, I was able to assist failing and weak students to a 70 marks score range.

        I will ensure that the tutee can communicate with me freely without feeling shy so that I can answer their questions anytime when they have any. Therefore, I ensure that I communicate with my tutees as a friend instead of a strict teacher-student relationship.

        After every session, I will keep the tutee's parents updated on their child's progress and what I plan to do for the next lesson.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        I will visit the MOE website occasionally and review the syallabus to see whether there are any changes.

        "I was sceptic initially as this is my first time hiring a private tutor.

        Sebastian was a kind dedicated teacher and he has always kept me well-informed about my child's progress. He was always there to answer any queries that I have. That being said, I could see that my child's grades had improved and also, his confidence in learning.

        I appreciate all the efforts and would like to thank him for keeping my mind at ease!"

            For younger children, I usually incorporate some games during the session so as to help the children learn in a fun way which also helps to increase their interest in the subject. I would encourage students and their parents to drop me a text whenever they have any doubts or problems that I can help with. After every session, I will update the parents on how their child's progress.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            To keep myself updated with the curriculum, I will check out the relevant textbooks and workbooks to learn more about the current syllabus.

              I understand that every student has a different learning pace and will ensure that I am able to cater to my students' own needs by understanding the difficulties they face before addressing them. As a fresh JC graduate, I am able to relate to the younger students as I have been in their shoes and understand the possible struggles they are facing and how to effectively overcome them and improve their academic performance. I will also keep the parents informed of their child's progress by communicating with them regularly and address any of their concerns.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              I help my younger cousins in primary and secondary school with their schoolwork and thus am updated with the curriculum. I have also kept both personal notes and school notes from my previous years of education that are valuable and relevant to the curriculum.
              As a Good Tutor
              I think a good tutor should be patient and care about the individual needs of their students by taking the time to understand each child's character and learning style before devising a suitable teaching method.

                Commitment / Other Details
                I am able to commit to a student until he/she graduates from his/her respective course. I have many students whom I taught from Secondary 1 to Seconday 4/5. One IB student has been with me for 5 yrs.
                Rapport Building
                My past students have shown great improvement, some from Cs or Bs and eventually achieving As in their respective mathematics subjects.
                I am a patient and dedicated teacher who believes a student requires exposure to various mathematics questions in order to do well so lots of practise will be provided during my class I also provide clear explanations to mathematical concepts so that students can understand instead of memorising. I am also flexible in my timings, so if a student has any last minute appointments, I usually will try my best to accomodate to his/her timings. In my professional career I have a Bachelor of Vet Science HonsIIA degree and I am an experienced veterinarian but I am currently taking a break to teach full time. I am on the Deans list for two semesters in 2011 and 2012 and won an award for excellence for veterinary pharmacology in 2013.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                To keep up with the curriculum, I usually go online to extract the latest maths questions and come up with good summarised materials so that I can teach more effectively and help my students understand complicated maths questions better. I am also constantly on the look out for courses which I can attend to improve my teaching methods. One of the courses I am looking to attend is how to teach higher order maths to dyslexic and dyscalculia students or special needs students. From there, I can better understand their struggles and also adapt the teaching methods to help my weaker students.
                As a Good Tutor
                I think the basic qualities of a good tutor is how approachable he/she is. I feel strongly that a good tutor should be non judgemental and help all students to achieve to the best of their ability. A good tutor should also be open minded and make learning maths enjoyable.
