I will be able to start ASAP and commit for at least a year, as I only take a few students at any one time, so that I can dedicate my full attention to helping my students progress.
Rapport Building
For new students, I begin the first lesson with an assessment of their language skills and explain to parents what areas I will be targeting specifically. During each lesson, I follow up through continuous assessment, and check on their learning progress a t school to avoid repeating material. I encourage an open discourse with parents, so I will update parents on the progress of their children and any issues that may crop up along the way.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I plan my lessons individually based on the student's weaknesses as I have assessed them. Lessons use a combination of past year papers, external resources, and resources I have personally developed, to ensure thaat the skills being taught are applicable and relevant. I also take reference to the Ministry of Education guidelines and syllabus when assessing my students, so as to fully prepare them for exams. Whereever applicable, I also try to incorporate real world skills into the lesson, to avoid route-learning.
As a Good Tutor
I believe that every student can excel, with sufficient guidance. I adapt my lessons and am patient with my students, regardless of their skill level. At the end of the day, we are all striving towards the same end goal.
