Commitment / Other Details
I am able to start immediately with no preference to location of the classes. I am able to commit until the final exam.
Rapport Building
I had always been close to my students when I was teaching at Serangoon JC. I was the teacher in charge of the Students' Council so I interact a lot with them. I enjoy working with them, listening to them and being their 'friend'. Similarly as a private tutor, I will get to know both the student and the parents to understand their needs and issues with the subject. Importantly for me there must be 2-way communications between us.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I left the teaching profession to go into the private sector and have worked in varied industries such as hospitality, travel, tourism, events.

As a trained teacher, I am familiar with the school system as well as the teaching methodologies. I still keep up with the current curriculum as well as the school system through the media.

In addition with my private sector experiences, I am able to bring in real life examples and situations into my teaching. As such the students are able to embrace the practicality of the subject especially in POA.
