Tuition/Teaching Experience
Even though I may lack professional teaching experience, being recently graduated from JC, my memory is still fresh and I could easily relate to the students' struggles having been there recently. :)
Upper secondary level - A Maths Bio/Chem Biology Chemistry E Maths Physics Physics/Chem
Junior college level - Biology Chemistry Maths
Commitment / Other Details
Can start almost immediately. Prefer weekends. Free to discuss.

Keeping Up with Curriculum
My teaching style depends on the subject.
1. MATHS (similarly for physics): I would firstly ensure that the fundamentals are solid and that conceptual understanding is strong so that the student can use their skills to adapt to each question. Thereafter, lots of practice would be needed. During or after each question, I would help to review the student's thought process and immediately point out any AFIs, conceptual misunderstandings, common mistakes, misreading the questions, or not knowing how to begin the question
2. BIOLOGY - The trick to learning biology would be simplify the content and not see it as giant chunks of information. I would help the student to appreciate Biology better (eg. how we can relate concepts to real life) so that the student could rely better on common sense instead of just hard memory. However, we cannot escape the memory work, and I would teach the students how to make memory easier by organising concepts and making their own notes. Practise wise, I would pick out questions that fall into 2 categories - standard, frequently-tested questions, and general knowledge/application questions; and I'd like to use active recall via flashcard applications to enforce the learning
3. CHEMISTRY - similar to biology; except that especially for H2 A levels, a lot more versatility and adaptability is needed, and thus teaching would be more practice-oriented
At the end of the day, my teaching style would greatly depend on the ability of the student, as it would help to determine where I should start teaching from (basics, etc) and the goals in mind.
