Commitment / Other Details
Currently pursuing Computer Science at NTU. Did Diploma in Financial Informatics and Diploma Plus in Mathematics from SP. I am learning dance and singing. Can have group tuitions and timing discussed.
Rapport Building
When I teach, I usually try to award the students for their efforts like giving them stars, stamps on their papers, little notes for them and give them some small treats like chocolates/stationeries, hoping that these will continue to aspire the students. At the same time, I am friendly when I need to be friendly and am strict when I need to be strict with students so I believe that I have a good balance when dealing with students. When communicating with parents, I always update them on the things that have been done for the lesson and I always have a log book for the things done, for homework given and for the number of classes/class timing have taken the tuition. For example, if I start taking class at 8.15am until 10.15am, I would write down the date and time in a notebook for the parents to see so that they keep track on the number of lessons taken too. And I would tell the parents to try to keep an eye on their child's works.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have sibling, cousins, friends, siblings of friends who studied/are studying in different levels. So I get to hear about them and get to see their books and see how much has the syllabus changed. Sometimes, when I am at a bookstore like popular, I would just flip through the respective education level's books to see how much the syllabus has changed so as to keep up with it.
As a Good Tutor
All of the students I have taught have made a significant difference in their result which I am proud of and I hope to bring a fruitful positive difference in the tutee's result by sharing with them the knowledge I gained and some study tips/shortcut methods to go about understanding their work so that the students may gain more interest to study further once they find it easy to do. So the basic qualities of good tutors is to be a good mentor, leader/guide and a friend who teaches the right things by being honest, strict and friendly at the same time when necessary. A good tutor to me is someone who makes learning fun and makes a student understand his subject well and inspires him to do well.
