    Rapport Building
    Most of my friends tell me that I am very friendly and understanding as a person and I interact well with others because of these traits. I personally feel that I am pretty empathetic and meticulous when doing work, as well as when teaching students.

    As for rapport building with the tutees, generally, I prefer to use the first session to get to understand the child's needs and struggles with their academic studies, as well as the areas they may be weaker in, also to get a rough gauge on how to best engage the child.

    I would also consult the parents in terms of certain needs the child has, or teaching methods he/she prefers as well as how he or she best learns.

    It will probably take a few sessions for the child and tutor to warm up to each other, as well as build a certain level of trust between tutor and tutee. This will most likely involve asking the child some personal questions, simple ones being their CCAs, outside interests, favourite subjects, what they enjoy with their families and friends on weekends etc so as to get to know the child more personally if they are open to it. This is to foster a certain level of trust and closeness between tutor and tutee to ensure a smoother tuition experience for everyone.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    Primary School curriculum is generally very manageable and easily tackled since they mostly involve basic math, science, and for languages, mostly involve basic grammar and simple vocabulary.
    For secondary school, I am a JC graduate, so secondary school knowledge for subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, and writing of english essays are still relatively fresh to me. Before teaching any students, I will read through the syllabus document for the relevant subjects and update myself on the relevant areas which I am not familiar with or are new.
    For JC, I retook A levels last year, so the memory of the subjects I took are also fresh. Similarly, using the syllabus documents to check for updates regarding the curriculum is also vital.
    As a Good Tutor
    A good tutor must first and foremost be empathetic enough to understand that each and every tutee is unique and that they have different ways of learning and interacting with a tutor. A good tutor should be able to pick up on what actions enable the child to be more receptive to learning and capitalize on that to ensure that they have a fruitful time during tuition.

    A good tutor must also be attentive to when students are stressed or tired and adjust the pace of teaching according to their fatigue levels. For instance, upper secondary school students more prone to staying up late and paying less attention during tuition usually start yawning or their attention drifts elsewhere during tuition. It is important to give such students breaks for a short power nap or wash their faces before continuing the session to ensure that their time is not wasted and to ensure that their energy is not further wasted.

    A good tutor should always maintain suitable boundaries and respect both the tutee and their parents. Apart from keeping a close and harmonious relationship with the tutees and their parents, a good tutor must always keep in mind that any personal questions should directly contribute to the tutee’s learning and not infringe upon another’s privacy, unless provided by the tutees or their parents as a precaution.

      Actively listen and observe to accurately identify needs of students (and parents). I also believe in developing learner autonomy through interactive and participatory teaching, and thus seek to tap on strengths and interests of students to facilitate learning and improve weaker areas. Empowering them will build their confidence to learn (for students) and to assist with learning (for parents).
      Keeping Up with Curriculum
