Commitment / Other Details
Able to start immediately, I can commit for years. I have students that were with me from Secondary school till the end of JC.
Rapport Building
I am based overseas as I am undertaking my doctorate. I create Maths in my research, therefore I 'get' Maths. It is this understanding that I strive to impart to your child, which will serve them not only in their subjects, but also in life.

Although I am based overseas, this in no way diminishes my quality of teaching. In fact, my delivery is enhanced with all my online tools. Notes are saved in cloud, and well-organised for easy retrieval, as compared to traditional pen and paper (I do write alot during lessons, which accumulate into stacks over the months). If you need to print out physical copies, by all means do so. When I moved overseas last year, I had 8 students online, and they still did equally well. Therefore, the physical barrier is not an impediment.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I keep a library of up-to-date exam papers and assessment book questions (which I personally handpick) for practice
As a Good Tutor
Understanding is the key. Not only in subjects, but also in relationships.
