Had experience in mentoring Primary 5 and 6 students as part of my JC CCA. Also, I have a passion for Biology and Secondary School Mathematics as they are my favourite subjects in Secondary School. I believe this passion would allow me to teach my students well.
Upper secondary level - A Maths Bio/Chem Biology E Maths
Commitment / Other Details
Able to commit immediately until around June 2014 (possible to continue if needed).
Do not mind holding group tuitions as well.
Rapport Building
Normally I would get to know more about the students as a friend first, to fully understand what s/he likes or do not likes. This would allow me to better understand them and hence, know how to go about teaching them. Also, I would speak to parents to understand their expectations of both me and their child. From there, I would be able to fully benefit both the parents and student(s) with what I have and to the maximum of my abilities.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I would talk to my younger brother (Sec 3 in 2014) to understand what they are learning. Also, I would talk to my secondary school juniors to better understand how have things remained or changed in school. In addition, I would also visit bookstores to look at textbook and assessment books to know what are the topics covered in the different subjects nowadays.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor would be someone who is able to explain concepts to students clearly and ensuring that they fully grasp it before moving on to other things. A good tutor would not teach for the sake of money, but instead, teach so as to pass on the knowledge s/he has to other people. Lastly, a good tutor must have the passion to teach, and the passion for knowledge so that s/he is able to impart knowledge better to students.
