Tuition Background
Part-Time
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I had a five-month experience teaching Maths and English to a Secondary 3 girl. Her Maths grade improved from D5 to a A2. However, the duration was too short for such a significant improvement in her English grade.
I have also had a two-year experience tutoring students of various ages to prepare them for the SAT exam and US university application. I had taken the SAT myself and had scored 2250/2400. My application to US university can be considered successful as I had been admitted to Wesleyan College (ranked 15 in liberal arts), Colgate College (ranked 22) and Macalester College (ranked 24) with scholarship.
I can start asap and can do so until May, which will be my one month break.
I can take jobs on Weekends, Wednesday afternoon and Monday, Thursday nights. I would prefer taking jobs on Monday, Thursday nights as my weekend schedule is not fixed.
Rapport Building
I talk to my students and look through their works if allowed to understand their levels and needs. As much as possible, I will not make unreasonable demands for my students but if I and their parents deem that the student needs a push in terms of discipline, I am willing to do so. However, my students have never complained that I am too strict or dry, because I always try to supply lessons with interesting materials that add to their knowledge and are easy to remember.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have a cousin in secondary school and a lot of juniors in JC. We talk quite a lot and they are willing to update me with the latest changes in the curriculum.
As a Good Tutor
I think a good tutor should be devoted and open minded: they should be willing to dig deep and see the core needs of each student instead of imposing an one-size-fit-all methods.
