My Commitment and Style

I had taught in both Singapore schools, primary and secondary. From 2010-2011, I taught 'O'level Physics in a private school. I have just completed a year of teaching an autistic Secondary 4 student who is about to sit for his 'N' level exams. Through this experience, I am acquired more communication skill and patience.
Previously, I have also taught an ADHD P5 student. My other current student is an 'O' level student and I am starting to teach a student from New Zealand studying in an international school.I can commit to giving tuition for the next 3 years at least.

For teaching Physics, there are the Maths and the Facts sections. For the Facts sections, I make students remember definitions and explanation questions in point forms. Definitions can be broken into parts and memorised with understanding. I believe in explaining to students the facts before getting them to memorise.

As for the Maths portion in Physics and A and E Maths or Primary School Maths, I explain to my students how to interpret questions, break them down, highlight key facts. I also help them to learn how to integrate what they have learnt with what is in the questions. This helps them to gain problem-solving skills.

After that, I make my students do the same question. This is because students can understand how to solve a question but are still unable to independently solve the question. This is what I have found after years of study and tutoring.

After they solve the question on their own, I will repeat the problem-solving techniques and the basic facts and formulae they used. I have developed a systematic problem-solving technique which help students to solve both physics and maths questions.

I do not let my students do the so-called "Top Ten Schools" exam papers as the standard this distracts them from learning problem-solving skills. They end up memorising the answers with no understanding. This is bad learning as there is no real learning and answers memorised are irrelevant as questions can be changed by teachers year after year. Moreover, the questions they memorised seldom appear in their own school exams or national exams.

As for English, I make students read story-books and newspaper to learn good writing style, vocabularies and understanding of difficult passages. If their foundation is weak, I will have them do systematic English grammar-teaching books. The Taiwanese students I taught developed a passion in reading storybooks and within two years they achieve a breakthrough in their writing and understanding ability.

    Tuition/Teaching Experience
    I focus on English for both Primary and Secondary school students. I start with the basics, especially for students who are weak in foundation areas eg: grammar and Comprehension. I don't believe in giving the correct answers to students or simply marking their work. I would expect them to explain why they think they've made a mistake and have them correct themselves, if they're able to. I explain why a certain word is used for a blank in cloze passages by pointing out the clues or inferences which can lead a student to come up with the right word.
    I have been a writer and editor for local magazines and am currently freelance writing. At the moment, I'm teaching P5 and P6 students, Sec 1-4 students.

    Rapport Building
    I am a patient and kind tutor, who is warm and understanding towards my students. I am able to communicate well with my students to build good rapport. I customise my lessons according to their needs, which helps them to enjoy the learning process and to be motivated to do well in English. I am willing to answer any questions that they may have also.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I usually use the student’s assessment books to teach. However, if extra practice is required for certain sections that they may be weaker in, I will provide my own resources and drill those areas with them. I will ensure that all components of the English paper are covered throughout the lessons. For the areas that they’re stronger in, I will still reinforce with extra practice and revision papers too.
    As a Good Tutor
    I will do my best to help my students. I want them to reach their fullest potential, and I believe that every student as the ability to do well :) I will provide additional resources on my part if needed. Homework will be given every lesson too. I will mark and go through corrections with the student the next lesson. I will also provide feedback to the parent after every lesson, to update them about their child’s progress
