Commitment / Other Details
Able to commence tuition assignments immediately and able to commit for the full year, 2017. Extremely keen on the Bishan-Toa Payoh area and surrounding regions.
Rapport Building
I present five interesting things about myself when we first meet and get my students to share theirs too. I update parents regularly on their child's progress and what he/she needs to work on. I usually also connect the curriculum to my pupils' lives, explaining it in such a way that it becomes new and exciting to them.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Being a relief educator with MOE and a group tuition teacher at an enrichment centre, I am constantly kept up-to-date with curriculum standards and changes. I also exercise diligence by reading up on my own outside work hours to think of novel ideas to engage my students in their learning.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor is dedicated to her pupils' learning, passionate about teaching and always striving to improve herself. She is creative and constantly devising new ways to make her students' learning enjoyable.
