Rapport Building
Before committing to the first lesson, I make it a point to talk to the student's parents and find out more about their expectations of the student's performance. I also want to find out from the student where his or her "problem areas" are Then, I am very willing to share with them the study plan that I propose for the student. Also, I am willing to inform the parents of the student's progress and attitude during the tuition sessions. Finally, after each test/exam, should the student allow it, I always find it useful to go through his or her mistakes to find out how I can better help them improve in their studies.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Having just graduated from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) in 2015 and having a younger brother who is currently doing the same program, I feel that I am relatively up-to-date with the IB system. However, should I tutor students doing GCE A-level subjects, I am willing to read up and consult my A-level peers about the syllabus and the subjects. Still, I strongly believe that knowing universal studying techniques can be applicable to anyone regardless of the syllabus boundaries of the subject matter.
As a Good Tutor
I am patient, diligent, but firm in my ways. Depending on the age and abilities of each student, I can adjust my attitudes slightly in order to be more age-appropriate. However, I expect each student to try their best in every task that is assigned to them, whether it's a school assignment or a tuition assignment.
