o Used to teach students that are one level lower than what i am studying at the point of time (since sec 1).
o Motivate and assist students to achieve better grades in whichever subjects i teach.
The aim is to prepare for success in the exams and achieve excellent proficiency in language use. The class focuses on all 4 aspects of language - reading, writing, speaking and listening. Soft skills like personal communication and awareness of current affairs are included, making learning relevant and applicable to real life, honing matured and apt responses to given situations. All kinds of materials are used including print and non-print, videos or podcasts. All my students are happy to learn in my classes as their personal learning needs are fully considered and they become motivated to adapt and improve. All students achieved their desired learning targets. Homework is given and returned with marked feedback. My total teaching years as a tutor is 5 years at centres and 3 years as professional ONLINE tutor. I am committed to help nurture the young for their successful future. Thank You.

My Portfolio/Experience.
I have been tutoring for more than 10 years since my undergraduate and Master degree days in NUS, specializing mainly in mathematics.
I believe the key to achieving good grades is understanding and having a solid foundation. Hence, I always train my students to pen down summary notes after learning each topic.
Teaching Techniques.
Other than practicing past year papers, my teaching techniques helps students to understand key Mathematics concepts and remember formula more effectively using basic Principle of Memory/ Mind Mapping. To enhance my students learning, I also complement my teaching with audio-visual aids via selected Internet videos. These techniques are very well-received by my students.
