Commitment / Other Details
Im able to start immediately and can commit long-term as I plan to continue tutoring throughout uni.
Rapport Building
I believe building rapport with parents starts with clear communication and trust. At the beginning, I make it a point to understand the parent’s expectations, the student’s current standard, and any specific concerns they may have. This helps me align my teaching approach with both the student’s needs and the parent’s goals.
Throughout the term, I keep parents updated on their child’s progress - not just grades, but also areas of improvement, learning attitude, and confidence in the subject. I share observations honestly and constructively, and I’m always open to feedback or questions from parents.
I also try to be responsive and reliable, whether it’s replying messages promptly or following up after assessments. Over time, parents feel assured knowing that their child’s learning is being closely monitored and that I’m genuinely invested in their progress, not just during lesson time but beyond it as well.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Because I completed IP and A-Levels quite recently, I’m very familiar with the current MOE syllabus, exam formats, and marking requirements. I actively keep track of syllabus documents, school assessment styles, and changes in question trends by working closely with students from different schools.
I regularly review school notes, worksheets, and past-year papers from various schools to stay aligned with what students are learning in class. When teaching, I make sure my explanations, notes, and practices are strictly tied to the MOE syllabus and the student’s school pace, whether I’m reteaching a topic or teaching ahead.
On top of that, I constantly refine my own summary notes and question banks based on common mistakes I observe across students, so my materials stay relevant, targeted, and exam-focused.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor, in my opinion, needs three core qualities: clarity, adaptability, and genuine care for the student.
Firstly, a tutor must be able to explain concepts clearly and accurately, breaking down difficult ideas into manageable steps instead of overwhelming the student. Strong subject mastery is important, but the ability to communicate it effectively matters just as much.
Secondly, a good tutor should be adaptable. Every student learns differently, so it’s important to adjust explanations, pacing, and practice styles until the student truly understands, rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Lastly, a good tutor genuinely cares about the student’s progress. This means paying attention to their weaknesses, following up consistently, and supporting them beyond just lesson time — whether through extra practice, study strategies, or encouragement. When students feel supported and understood, they’re much more motivated and confident in their learning.
