2 years of teaching lower primary school students. Both students failed math and English but after constant guidance and putting in hard work together, they passed all their examinations. Also teach 2 of my primary 6 school brothers who did managed to get into express stream in secondary school. I am a patient teacher who will do my best to help the student and will lend my services sincerely. I can work well with children and will cooperate with parents demands. I will push the students when needed and will be friendly so they will open up easily. Will give them homework but a reasonable amount of it as I understand they may be busy and have other schoolwork to do.
I am able to start in February and can commit for 1 and a half years. I would like to give private tutoring to lower primary school students for math, English and malay. I would prefer tuition sessions to be on weekend mornings but weekday nights are fine too. I will try to come more often if needed for the child to have more sessions during exam period.
Rapport Building
I will be open-minded and try to be as understanding as possible. I will try to get to know the student first and make him/her be comfortable by building a free and easy relationship. I will be interested to know about the student's life and I will occasionally give them gifts to motivate or compliment them about any task. I will try to be as flexible as possible and will be patient with parents. I will also give them frequent updates on their child progress and give the child feedback on how to improve.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will read up the child's school textbooks and look at their worksheets. I will also look at assessment books available in shops to know the type of assessments they are doing. When using a textbook, my pace of teaching will be according to the student's needs. I can teach subjects in advance or I can revise topics that have been taught.
As a Good Tutor
Good tutors and patient and kind to the student and parents. They do not get mad easily and will stay committed throughout their tuition assignment. They have to be flexible with the timings and communicate well with the parents. They cannot be shy as they have to make the student feel comfortable and they have to be enthusiastic during tuition sessions. They also have to be approachable and encouraging.
