Commitment / Other Details
I can take on assignment immediately. I work on public holidays except Christmas and Chinese New Year (first 2 days). I do not work on Sunday as I strongly believe as a tutor I need sufficient rest to charge up for the week ahead so as to give full attention to the student.
Rapport Building
I introduce incentive scheme to encourage students to work hard but I also mete out punishment if my homework is not done.
Students often share with me their thoughts which they don't even share with their parents.
I am still in touch with students who has completed their studies and have meals with their parents during the school holidays.
Very often, parents also invite me to dine with them especially when tuition runs into dinner time. Also, I ended up teaching the student's siblings and those is evident, not only of my rapport with parents, but their confidence in me being able to guide their children.
These rapport and trust are built upon myI sharing with parents of my teaching style and keep them updated on a monthly basis on the progress of the student. Of course, the student's academic performance is the KPI.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have siblings who are current school teachers and they keep me updated on the school curriculum.
As a Good Tutor
As a good tutor, one not only focus on helping students to ace in their studies but one who is able to nurture and encourage students to work on their goals and achieve success therein.
