Tuition Background: Full-Time

Tuition/Teaching Experience: I'm bilingually effective local Singaporean who speaks very fluent English and Mandarin. I have more than eight years experience tutoring Primary and Secondary English and Chinese subjects. I also teach Adult English and Mandarin.

In my lessons, I seek to understand and adapt to the learning styles of my students, then customize my teachings and evaluations based on the subject syllabus, so as to provide a holistic learning experience. In my multiples roles as a teacher, friend, and mentor, I partner my students in their education journey by helping them develop their interests in the language, and form study habits that lead to the practical application of the language in the daily context.
