Tuition/Teaching Experience

Lower secondary level - English Geography Literature
Upper secondary level - English Literature
Junior college level - General Paper Literature
Commitment / Other Details
I can start as soon as possible and can commit at least the next few years as a full time tutor.
Rapport Building
I find that I can understand where students are coming from and take into account their concerns and learning pattern. In that aspect, I am pretty flexible. That said, I also find it important to have my students set goals for themselves and expect them to work with me to follow through and meet them. However, I tend not to follow a rigid structure in my lessons. I prefer for lessons to be more interactive as I find that it helps me find the best approach with each individual student. As for my relationship with parents, I fully understand their need to know as much of their child's progress and am willing to work and discuss with them any concerns they may have.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I make it a point to keep up with the latest syllabus and examination formats by finding out from friends who are teachers in MOE, though I do find the changes in syllabus for the subjects I teach (English and Literature) to be minimal
As a Good Tutor
I commit to being reliable in terms of not repeatedly cancelling my lessons and in unavoidable circumstances where I cannot make it for any lesson, I attempt to schedule in another to make up for it. What students require is a routine and I do my best not to disrupt it. I have also found over the years that flexibility on my part is important, and thus try my level best to meet the needs of each assignment.
