Commitment / Other Details
Teaching style: I prepare teaching materials and assignments based on student's needs. They can call me to clarify on questions during non-office hours.
Rapport Building
I start by understand the students' schedule and difficulties in grasping the chemistry concepts.

I usually use examples related to daily life, such as concentration vs Milo Dinosaur / coffee, kinetic particular theory vs aircraft taking off.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I am well-versed in the Curriculum, and i complete a set of the past year papers in December to keep myself update with the latest trend of questions in exam papers.
As a Good Tutor
A good Chemistry tutor is able to let the students feel the relevance of chemistry to their daily life, and understand the importance of basic chemistry. This breaks down the barriers to learning, and makes the lessons more interesting.

A good tutor lets the students present what they know, and corrects them after they finish their presentation. this allows the tutors to gauge their level of understanding, and the students to gain confidence in the grasp of the topics.
