Tuition/Teaching Experience
I was offered an unconditional offer to SMU Accountancy before my A Level results are out. Currently, I am on scholarship to study a double degree in Accountancy and Business in SMU. In RGS and RJC, I held various leadership positions, and believe that I can be a good role model for your child. I believe in drills, not memorising, and I encourage students to see and understand concepts before applying. Studying blind is inefficient, I believe in studying smart. I also believe in building good foundations in core subjects. As a strong foundation is what gave me a good headstart to where I am today.

I used to volunteer at after school childcare, giving tuition to children from needy families. I have also started tutoring with another tutoring agency in Tampines.

Commitment / Other Details
I would like to teach for an entire academic year, if possible. Hence I would prefer scheduling tuition at night, or on weekends, where it would not clash with my school timetable.
Rapport Building
With parents:
Engaging in open discussions about the students with parents.

With students:
Rapport is built over time, and not over a few hours, hence I believe that being committed, heartfelt, and amiable are vital in building rapport. Being patient, non-judgmental and understanding are other character traits I embody, that would help me bond with the student.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Buying the most current school exam papers, 10 year series, and text books.
As a Good Tutor
Providing help 24/7! Whatsapp me your questions anytime and I will try my best to as fast as possible(: I would also help procure exam papers (at a cost), and other materials I feel the student needs, to suit their learning style, as well as their current standards.


As mentioned in the paragraphs above, I possess good grades, am well-rounded (actively participated in CCA during school), and I work well with students. Despite these attributes, I believe the most important trait in a tutor is dedication. Students and parents seek help from home tutors as they believe that home tutors would be able to provide their child/them with the support, and attention school teachers are unable to. Hence, I would gladly fill that void, and be right next to them, during their schooling years.

Other than being a home tutor, I have also taught group tuition. Similarly, tuition agencies should hire me because I have experience of teaching a class. I believe that I can cope the needs of proving help to both the class as a whole, and to the individual student.
