Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have taught English oral and piano since the second half of 2012. Though I am a relatively new teacher, I have solid experience in English and Music-related work. During my year at the University of Texas at Austin, I wrote for several newspapers. I was also writing for lifestyle publications in Singapore prior to the time abroad, starting from 2012.
I started learning the piano at five, and I am one of the few who studied Music in Secondary and JC, even doing an H3 research paper. I have a diploma in piano performance from ABRSM. I also taught piano part-time to approximately at a music school in Singapore from August to December 2012.
Music - Piano - Theory (Beginner, Intermediate), Practical (Beginner, Intermediate, Leisure)
Commitment / Other Details
I currently have no other commitments other than college. I am able to teach weekday nights and Saturday mornings and afternoons.
I am patient with my students, and I make sure to focus on them completely during the lesson. As a young person, I understand the interest in pop culture, which I believe can be used from time to time to improve their capabilities in the subject. in English, I place an importance in oral skills, making sure they speak well and articulate, as good English-speaking skills transplant themselves on paper. I will also make sure they read current affairs publications because that is often where you find the best form of English writing. I will go through their school assignments and requirements thoroughly during the lesson and check on them during the week.
Rapport Building
I will make sure to check with my students during the week on their assignments and if they require any help. I will speak with their parents about what their expectations are and should be, and how we can work together to help the child outside from class.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I look at the MOE syllabus and I visit bookstores to look at the current enrichment books available.
As a Good Tutor
Having a relationship with the student and his/her family, making sure that you are accountable and available, and that there is trust between you and each of them.
