Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have a passion for tutoring, I have been teaching as a part-time tutor since my Undergraduate days, and I specialize in teaching English and General Paper (All levels). Can also teach lower secondary and primary Math and Science.

I have an excellent command of English, which helps me to bring ideas across in a clear and concise manner. As an educator, I believe in educating my students in all aspects of their lives, and I will not only help pull up my students' grades, but teach them life lessons and good moral values as well.

Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately (or on short notice), preferably in the north/central area, although north area would be most preferred. I am available during the morning/afternoon, but would prefer to keep my nights free.
Rapport Building
I get along exceedingly well with my students. besides instilling discipline into them, I am also very focused when trying to bring across a particularly important idea or concept, so that they may fully grasp it.

I also believe in positive reinforcement, and I will reward my students for doing well. Similarly, if they seem to be struggling with their work, then I will assign additional homework for them, so that they may improve.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have been teaching as a relief teacher under MOE's relief teaching scheme for a good portion of last year, teaching English and Science at a local secondary school. Thus, I believe that my knowledge of the curriculum is current and up-to-date.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor requires passion, dedication and a "never-say-die" attitude.

I would say that i embody all these qualities, and I will never give up on a student, taking as much time as is required to impart my knowledge across to them.
