Tuition/Teaching Experience
All the students I taught at the secondary level till completion, when they go on to take the O-level examination have obtained at least a credit or better. I have brought up the level of many students from a failing grade to either a good credit or even a distinction, and they have gone on to either the Polytechnics or JCs.
Lower secondary level - English Mathematics Science
Upper secondary level - Bio/Chem Biology Chemistry E Maths English Physics Physics/Bio Physics/Chem
Junior college level - General Paper
Commitment / Other Details

Rapport Building
Teaching method/ pedagogy
I do not subscribe to rote-memorization without understanding. My teaching method is by way of explaining ideas and concepts to my students so that they are able to understand and apply them. I also bring this into the context of answering the examination papers. As for practice, I do not unnecessarily load them with extra homework, as many schools already load their students with assignments and tutorial which the students already struggle with. However, I do make reference to the O-Level 5-/10-Year Past Exam Papers from the official MOE publishers for practice.
I also try to instill interest in the subject matter (Science in particular) to my students so that they will be able to appreciate the subject and see how it applies to society and to themselves personally.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Current information obtained from SEAB directly, each year.
Material used would be from past-year papers and other schools exam papers where possible
As a Good Tutor
Other value-add
I can provide one-to-one career guidance counselling to students who want to further explore their potential and are uncertain as to how they would like to structure their educational progression.
