Commitment / Other Details
I am a medical student in university, I am currently available during weekends & Mondays. I am also very open to online tuition in the long term.
Rapport Building
I do so by primarily focusing on the students needs,such as his/her weaknesses in the subject and figuring out the most effective and efficient method to help them obtain their desired results,all while maintaining a professional relationship with the student and his/her parents.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I do constant checks on the current syllabus, and prepare myself by revising and practising concepts to ensure that I have a strong grasp on the knowledge needed to secure a good grade. I also make my own notes and materials to maintain said grasp on the subject.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor will ensure that the students improvement in the subject is the main priority,and will put in as much effort as possible to tackle the problems faced by the student.

    "Mavis Tay (9995)
    I have 3 daughters and Marvis has been with us since Yr 2013.
    She helped & helps to push my daughters to strive for the better not just academically.
    She is still a tutor for my youngest (pri.3) and second daughter (pri.5).
    All my daughters did well in their final year exams and my youngest daughter is in higher chinese class.
    She followed & follows very closely with their works."

    Mr Liew:
    I am writing this testimonial because I believe her teacher is quite good. She devise the correct way to teach my son. The aim is for her to bring my son back to have some interest in Chinese.
    After a year of teaching, I can see my son will automatically do her homework every weekend. And when I tested him some times, I found that he has learned the subject adequately. She will customize a homework set for my son to do. I found her method is quite good. I thank her being very patient to teach a stubborn kid, and bring his Chinese level back from a lousy state to OK level is sufficient for us already. Because of her patient, and dedication, I am very happy to see my son doing all the Chinese tutors homework by himself every week.

              Able to start in November 2021, group tuition will preferably be held at in the east on weekends, or where convenient for all parties (students and myself). I am committed to long-term assignments.
              Rapport Building
              I keep in touch with younger students' parents frequently, including providing updates in the student notebook on learning outcomes and homework. I expect students to be transparent with both myself and their parents and be willing to ask where they need help, and hence to do this, I foster and environment of mutual trust and understanding. I reward hard work and improvements necessarily, applying educational and motivational psychology concepts I learn and pick up as a Psychology undergraduate in NUS. Therefore, I balance firmness with patience and gentleness, never defaulting to scolding or reprimanding if the student is visibly putting in effort. I believe I adopt a fair and nurturing pedagogy, helping students to understand content but also to develop personal responsibility through empowerment and encouragement.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              Aside from downloading syllabi from the MOE websites, I revisit assessment books and take note of question trends that seem to repeat across the board. Because learning is not only about the curriculum and syllabus, it is important to understand the reasons for why certain types of questions or problem sums become popular. Most of the time, there is an underlying aim to instil a particular cognitive skill, which I then harness into my students, such as by teaching them meta-thinking skills and analytical thinking.
              As a Good Tutor
              A good tutor understands the learning processes of a student. As a tutor who has been teaching for 1.5 years, I learn to pick up the habits and learning styles of individual students and cater to them. Some students are able to take firmer and sometimes harsher tones from me, whereas some need more caring attitudes. I adjust my demeanour accordingly.
              Not all students come from good family backgrounds and therefore I have learnt to extend compassion and understanding towards more academically-disinclined students. I do this by applying concepts from education and motivational psychology, acknowledging their need for more guidance and supervision.
              Understanding the types of thinking skills needed to be inculcated in each student individually helps to cater the tutoring best for them. I believe that a good tutor is able to pick up the needs of students through their interactions and through behavioural observation and inferring from students' mistakes where they need more help.

                Rapport Building
                I will check in with my students between classes and share any materials which I feel might be helpful for the subject matter that I'm tutoring him/her on. Typically, I try to build a bond with the student by keeping the mood more casual, which helps the student to open up and be more comfortable in asking questions when in doubt.
                Keeping Up with Curriculum
                I regularly update myself on the syllabus and also check in with my students on the progress of their subject in school. This helps to ensure that I am effectively supporting them in the learning of new topics and practising the more difficult topics as well.
                As a Good Tutor
                I enjoy teaching in general, which I feel is important to ensure that I remain patient and sincere in helping my students in their academics.

                  14 yrs ft tutor. even though i was from top schs when i was young it will not make much difference when it comes to teaching. its the way tutors need to learn to teach, its not about how well we can study ourselves. i always blend in with students so they can feel more comfortable with what they are learning. They will feel more comfortable about tutors as well and this is what i believe that makes the difference in coaching.
