I have had about a year of tutoring experience and my students are mainly in the primary level, and most of the subjects I taught are English and math. I believe that every student can be nurtured and taught, I believe I am a living example of hard work and effort. My grades in school were not spectacular but through hard work and a great deal of effort and good tutoring, I am able to have good results during major exams. This reflects what I believe in, everybody is capable of achieving through hard work and the right methods.
I will be available every week and typical schedule for me will be one weekday and one weekend, I believe the right environment is very important for a child to learn and typically i will look out for places like CCs around where the tuition is needed and have the tuition near the home of the child and I believe that the child will learn better and absorb more without distractions from home.
Rapport Building
I advocate encouragement and if need be I will talk and share with parents about the child's strength and weaknesses and typically brief the parents on what I will be doing and what will be given to the child for instance for English tuition, I typically request a newspaper write up or a vocabulary quiz or a journal. Typically I prefer an encouraging tone and focus on rewards and reinforcements, however I will instill as well a thinking process, for instance in mathematics, no straightforward answers will be given, the child will be guided and induced into thinking and solve the questions, I will also reward when the child receives a good grade for exams or even improvement.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I keep myself updated on the curriculum through reading up the textbooks and assessment books to better equip myself to be better able to teach my students.
As a Good Tutor
Encouragement and non-discriminating, as mentioned I believe hard work and good techniques can lead to success.
