Commitment / Other Details: Current on hand student: 14
Able to commit lifetime as I am a full-time tutor.

Rapport Building: Students: Before the lesson, I will always check-in on them. I attempt to understand the struggles they are going through in terms of their academic and life. I usually share my own learning experience with the students when I was in primary school and secondary school. I always praise whenever they understand/answer the concepts/questions correctly. In addition, I laugh with them during the lesson so that it makes the class more chilled and less solemn, while ensuring that the quality of the lesson is being met.

Parents: I always text them before the first lesson to understand more about their child especially the weakest topics they need help the most. I share with them my teaching style and keep them updated about their progress.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: During the start of my tutor career, I purchased a lot of textbooks and assessment books, ranging from primary school to secondary school to keep myself updated with the curriculum. I also visited the SEAB and MOE website to take a look at the syllabus. This is to ensure that my notes are in line with the required learning objective.

As a Good Tutor: Being a good tutor means patient and responsible

Patient: Some students are slow learner, and they require more time to understand the concepts. As such, the pace of the teaching is slow and may need more weeks to cover the same topic. Tutors have to adjust the pace and not carried away by their own emotions when students find it hard to grasp the concept. Instead, we should make the lesson more progressive rather than rushing through the concepts. There was once when I took 3 weeks to cover transport in human for Sec 3 express biology. Even though the pace was slow, it was very helpful for him and understand the topic fully.

Responsible: A responsible tutor plans the lesson and creates their own learning materials for their student, which I do that to all of my students. I also synthesise textbook, assessment books, ten year series, school papers and come up with my own version of topical exercises. I am definitely not the type where I just solely go through exam papers and assessment book because i believe this teaching method is futile. Students would only know how to do the exact question, which is impossible for same questions to appear in their examination.
