Tuition/Teaching Experience
My Portfolio/Experience.
I have been tutoring for more than 15 years since my undergraduate and Master degree days in NUS, specializing mainly in mathematics.

I believe the key to achieving good grades is understanding and having a solid foundation. Hence, I always train my students to pen down summary notes after learning each topic.

Teaching Techniques.
Other than practicing past year papers, my teaching techniques helps students to understand key Mathematics concepts and remember formula more effectively using basic Principle of Memory/ Mind Mapping.

To enhance my students learning, I also complement my teaching with online learning via ZOOM/Teams and effective internet resources. These techniques are very well-received by my students.

Commitment / Other Details
I am a Full-time Singaporean Tutor who specializes in Maths tuition. I hold a Bachelors Degree (Honors) from NUS and a Masters Degree under a scholarship awarded by NUS. I graduated from Dunman High School and Temasek Junior College and I scored As for all Math subjects. I am available on both weekdays and weekend (9am - 9pm).

Teaching gives me great satisfaction and I believe the right teacher makes a great difference towards the students learning.

Majority of my students make good progress in not just the grades, but also the attitude and studying method. After all, todays education is not only about academics. Parents believe that instilling the right character and values are equally important too.

My academic certificates are available upon request.

        As a Good Tutor
        A good tutor must care for the well-being of the students and not just academic performance. She should never dismiss any questions as stupid and must be comfortable to answer questions beyond the syllabus.
        A good Science tutor should be able to train students to answer well in exams and also make learning concrete through experiments.

          Tuition/Teaching Experience
          I specialise in Maths. I have been tutoring primary and secondary students for 11 years in Maths and have been teaching E Maths and A Maths in secondary school for 5 years. I'm very experienced in teaching Maths from Pri 3 to Sec 4. I'm also very familiar with the PSLE, GCE N level and O level Maths syllabus. My students and their parents are very happy with my teaching methods as they are satisfied with the grades achieved. Most of my students have got As for PSLE and O levels. Many students who were not able to pass before I started teaching them got B grades for the national exams. A parent of a Sec 4 student said that she wished she had started lessons earlier as she was not pleased with any of the previous tutors. I've been recommended to other students as a result of success stories.

          Commitment / Other Details
          Able to start any time from now, as I am currently awaiting university application results, I hope I would be able to continue teaching even if I were to be schooling again. Will do my best ability to commit to the end of each tuition assignment (until the student graduates or until the end of the academic year at least).
          Rapport Building
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          I would refer to the MOE syllabus, and also the student's textbooks as I believe that each school is different with their teaching pace as well.
          As a Good Tutor
          I believe that patience and responsibility are key when it comes to teaching.
