Tuition/Teaching Experience
I was successful in my attempt to help two A-level students achieve their target of admission to local university, in particular, NTU. The achilles heel in their progression was mathematics, which is my stronghold. Tutored by my ownself using dynamic approaches that help sustain the problem-solving skills for good, I would be glad to transfer to a needing student.
I would be able to visit twice a week and convenient time slots would include 8 pm or after on weekdays and 9 am to 3 pm on Saturday and after 3 pm on Sunday. This is based on the assumption that each class will last about an hour and a half to two.
Rapport Building
On my first two visits, I would encourage the students to open up, both academically and emotionally. Though academic assessment, I would be able to target their weak areas and implement productive measures to strengthen these spots. If they need emotional backing, I would be more than happy to sustain them. I am a true believer of the ideology that only if you are free from burdens would you be able to fuse yourself with academic related activities. From my third trip, after breaking the ice, we will get in the act and persevere towards excellence. As far as parents are concerned, I will afford them with biweekly reports on the student's performance and assert appreciable solutions to fix the weak areas.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
The core of the curriculum, especially in technical subjects like Maths and Physics, remains the same. For other improvisations, I seek the help of my relatives and friends, who have been trained in NIE and are working as teachers and the internet. Of course, not forgetting to mention that I will carefully look through the curriculum myself once before seeking their help.
As a Good Tutor
In five short and crisp words, qualities include patience, problem-solvers, dynamic, fun and approachable.
