Tuition Background
MOE-certified Teacher
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have given private tuition for 11 years, and I'm currently teaching in an IP School (this is my 5th year). I realise that many students who can't perform well are unable to link concepts between chapters, or have difficulty understanding the individual chapters. Hence, when it comes to the exam questions, they are unable to see how they can apply the techniques taught in the examples in their notes. By asking suitable questions, I'm able to find out the main problem that the students have and zoom into it.

My past students feedback that my explanation is very clear, and it makes much more sense to them after the explanation. They become much more confident in doing the questions. I do not believe in pure drilling, as I strongly believe that a certain level of understanding is required

Rapport Building
During the very first lesson with my student, I will always make sure that I speak to the student to understand more about their learning difficulties and also get to know them. I will also conduct a quiz on the first lesson to understand where the strength and weakness of the student for the subject.

As for the parents, I will spend time before or after the lesson to understand more about the parent's concern over their children's learning, as well as to introduce myself and my teaching style.

During the entire course of the year, I will constantly update the parents on the student's learning progress. I also keep a systematic record on a notebook each lesson, to update the parents on what has been covered during the 1.5 or 2 hour lesson, so as to enable both the parents and myself to track the student's progress.

I believe that communication is key when it comes to helping my student achieve an A, and also to allow the parents to learn about their children through the lessons.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I often check into MOE's website to keep myself updated on the curriculum, also through my helping my student with the notes and homework given, I would be constantly in touch with the MOE curriculum. I also have a few friends whom are MOE-trained school teachers that I catch up often with to learn about updates to the syllabus.
As a Good Tutor
The basic qualities are Compassion, Patience and Skillfulness. A good tutor, is one whom is skillful who can take a glimpse into the student's world, and be able to identify their struggles and to equip them with problem-solving skills.
I am a firm believer of teaching my students how to fish, instead of providing them the solutions or methods. I teach them how to self-study and how to look for answers and how to solve their problems instead of relying on my to complete their homework or to seek last minute help for exams.

Rapport Building
I will treat my students as my friends and also speak in laysman terms, meaning avoiding the technical terms and explaining in a way such that they will understand also, giving analogies for comparison. With analogies, it will be more fun for the students to learn subjects and also, they will remember it better. I will put myself in their shoes and explain in the way that I would want people to explain to me.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I will definitely check the MOE syllabus and also googling for more notes to keep myself updated. As we all know, education never end. I will definitely google for more in-depth information regarding the topics.
As a Good Tutor
I think that good tutor should possess the qualities of being understanding, patience, ability to turn boring and content heavy information to interesting facts and knowledge for the students and also responsible and having the passion to teach.

Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have 10 years of teaching in a secondary school as a full time teacher, i left the service to focus on other interests and for personal reasons. I enjoyed teaching tremendously, especially the informal interaction with my ex students.I tutored for two years, the first year being in a friend's tuition centre (2014) , after which I set off on my own as a free lance tutor (2015).
The subjects I specialize in are biology, chemistry, and combined science (bio/chemistry), and lower secondary school science. I wish I can attach the cards and letters written by my ex students so that the testimonies can speak for the themselves but can't in this space, thus I shall quote my students words of me, which included 'thanks for clear lessons! I finally understand mole concept!'

Rapport Building
I think trust is important, and I am generally opened to giving my cellphone numbers to parents should they require it. I am professional in my conduct and I take pride in giving students quality lessons which i believe will come through quite clearly during lessons. I am open in my communication with parents , and do not hesitate to give them my feedback about the students' progress and areas in need of improvement.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
I have current pool of friends who are still teaching and whom i keep in contact with. I also have a currrent pool of students, both lower and upper secondary students, thus I am well aware of the trends and the updates in syllabuses
As a Good Tutor
My students show improvement in their grades most of the time. I don't work against the flow of the teachers in school, rather i complement what the teachers cannot do in a typical classroom, which is to troubleshoot the areas of weaknesses of the students, be it fundamental flaw in understanding of basic concepts, or that the student needs more practice in a specific area of the subject.
My basic expectation of myself as a tutor is that my student shows improvement in their grades.
