I have a personal love for mathematics and would love to spread my passion for the subject. Immediately after graduating for JC, I volunteered at their Math Clinic for a span of a few months and proceeded to teach my neighbour's child in Math for PSLE. In the future, I will be pursuing a degree/Masters in Mathematics and hopefully join MOE as a full time teacher.
I am able to start from 7 Apr onward, with a gap between 17 - 23 Apr due to personal commitments. I have a placing in NTU Mathematics (Aug) as well as various offers to overseas universities (Oct). As such, depending on the outcome of my scholarship applications, should I be going overseas, I will not be able to teach after October. If I continue to study locally I will be able to commit longer periods to the student.
Rapport Building
I will spend additional time to find out the student and parent's needs first before tutoring, and also try to suit the student's learning style.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I always read the syllabus as well as match past year papers with the syllabus to make sure I understand the requirements.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor shouldn't just teach the subject, he must also inculcate interest in the subject. Rather than teach using a generic monologue top-down teaching style, more must be done to ensure understanding.
