Commitment / Other Details
I can start immediately and commit at least till the end of the year (and longer).
I enjoy helping students to understand key mathematical concepts and apply them effectively over a range of problems.
Rapport Building
I enjoy helping my students improve in their work and it makes me proud and happy to see them grow an interest in the subject and develop critical thinking skills. It is fulfilling to see the parents and the students satisfied with their school performance.

There are a few techniques I employ while tutoring, for example fostering critical thinking and analytical skills, reverse teaching method, interesting maths games, real-life applications and so on.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
As a Good Tutor
I believe that every student has the potential to excel. With the right guidance, a student will be able to achieve his/her full potential.

A good tutor should be firstly knowledgeable and well-versed in the subject as well as capable of giving clear explanations. Secondly, the tutor should be able to make the subject interesting for the student. Thirdly, the tutor should be patient and good-tempered. Fourthly, a good tutor is able to detect a student's weak areas and help him/her to improve in those areas.
