I believe in understanding, rather than memorising. Firstly, just by memorising, I am confident that with hardwork, a student will be
able to attain good results till the 'o' levels. However, if a student gets to have extra help, I would think that it would be wiser to be
able to understand the key concepts, and interpret the rest of what they would need to complete their examinations from there.
I have had 3 months of tutoring experience after my 'o' levels, in which I have guided a P5 boy from a D in English, to an A in English.
Also, I have designed the tuition curriculum for an orphanage in Malaysia, being 'Rapha Children's Home' in the disciplines of English and
Math. It was such a success such that the local students have been adapting my way of teaching ever since.

Commitment / Other Details
Firstly, I love to teach as I really love that feeling of satisfaction that is gained when students tell you that they are able to understand what you are saying. Depending on the level of engagement in classes, curriculum could be either a breeze, or a technically demanding labyrinth. If it is a labyrinth, well, then I would like to say that I have found the way to take a shortcut, to cut through all those walls and get to the same end-point as well.
So, how is that done?
I would tell you that it is not as difficult as you think, since students mostly know more than they think they know, just that they find it difficult to consolidate the superfluous bank of information. Hence, I hope to be there to help them in that process.
Being a very vocal person, teaching is one of my greatest passions, and I would definitely constantly be giving more if my students are unable to meet up to my expectations. Furthermore, as cliche as it may sounds, I do love learning from the students that I teach as well.
