Tuition/Teaching Experience
I am currently teaching two students, namely Secondary 4-A Maths and Secondary 1-Maths and Science. I have had 4 students in total before and all of them improved through my guidance. The best student that I have taught, managed to improve 5 grades for his A-Maths, from C6 to A2 by the end of the year. I am willing to give my students extra lesson no matter how busy I am as I really want to see improvement at the end of the day.
I am an undergraduate studying full-time at the Singapore Management University. Hence, my timetable is rather flexible to play around. However, I would prefer to start after 19 August. I will definitely stay with the student until the end of the academic year unless there are exceptional cases.
Rapport Building
I will give them my handphone number at the very first lesson. I always love to receive calls from my students, asking me how to solve any questions, no matter what time it is. I believe, through this, my students will be able to do their work at anytime and can look for me once they are stuck with any questions. As for building rapport with their parents? I will message the progress of the student to the parent once in a while and feedback to them whether their children are doing well or doing badly.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
To keep up with curriculum, I expect my students to finish all the homework that I have given them, to do the week before. I always feel that practicing is very important and emphasise on this very much. Hence, I would always jot down their homework on a notebook and expect them refer and complete it by the next lesson. Otherwise, they will be 'punished' with more work to do. This has been really effective for my previous students. Sometimes, I do get help from their parents to supervise their children on doing their homework before tuition so that we will not waste too much tuition time doing homework that should be done at home.
As a Good Tutor
As a good tutor, I listen to my students' troubles and problems. I was a student before and I empathise them. Hence, sometimes I will cut down on their workload for tuition. I always believe that practise makes perfect. So, I will still hand them homework but maybe not a lot. This is for exceptional cases too.
