Commitment / Other Details
As I'll be entering university at SMU, Timings are stipulated to change. However, if you were to work with me, rest assured that I will commit to you and work around my schedule to have tuition.
Rapport Building
My name is Riggs. As a part-time tutor, I have commited most of my NS days to giving tuition to supplement additional secondary income. In the past, I was not a very good student. At PSLE, I scored 199. At secondary school, I realized that doing well in school is just more than doing homework and listening in class. I have realized that a reliable, consistent and positive tutor is needed to put in place values such as discipline and hard work to do well in school. Having scored an L1R5 of 35, a close teacher inspired me to become better and with his guidance, I have done relatively well for O levels with a score of 10 after deductions. As such, like my teacher, I would like to likewise teach not only the subjects but also some values that I believe is crucial for a person to do well beyond the level they are studying.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
To keep updated, I regularly visit my old schools and would often request to see and for the student to explain the syllabus to me. Usually, the textbook is enough to score As in exams.
As a Good Tutor
As a good tutor, I believe that every paragraph is important and the important question to ask in every paragraph of the textbook is "what is the main point of this? And what is most likely to be tested?" As a good tutor, I aim to teach study skills and values more over than content as I believe in a holistic education as what my school and teachers have inculcated in me.
