I have taught in Maha Bodhi Primary (1999-2001) and Temasek Primary (2001-2003) and have been tutoring full time ever since. I have 12 years of tutoring experience and have taught Lower and Upper Primary students in English, Maths and Science. I love teaching and always encourage my students to be responsible in their studies and aim for better grades. I cater my teaching style to suit the abilities of the students and motivate them to be interested in the subjects they learn. To engage the students, I use different teaching resources and actively challenge their thinking abilities. I am able to communicate well with students and parents alike and take good responsibility in guiding the students I teach.
I'm able to commit to my students till the end of the year and can start asap.
Rapport Building
Assessing the student's ability and concurrently finding out what are the difficulties that they are facing. Subsequently get and give feedback to the parents on the strengths and weaknesses of the student and how the parents can help the child to improve as well. Suggesting different approaches to how students can further benefit in their studies are also important and lastly to work hand in hand with parents on improving the student's grades.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Getting resources from current teacher friends and reading up. Attend short courses held by NIE on the current syllabus when available.
