Rapport Building
I believe that communication is key in building rapport with my students and their parents.

Students need to feel comfortable with their tutor before they can boldly voice their questions and concerns.

I usually have monthly (or when necessary) consultation sessions with my student's parents to keep them updated on the academic progress of their child. Consultation sessions do not have to be strict and can take the form of friendly chit-chats.
Keeping Up with Curriculum
With regard to General Paper, it is critical to keep in the know of current affairs. I make it a point to read the Straits Times daily and browse through online news sites (eg. Nytimes, BBC) to harvest information that can be helpful to my students.
As a Good Tutor
I believe that the basic qualities of a good tutor include:
1) Good knowledge of curriculum
2) Ability to communicate effectively
3) Ability to engage and motivate students
4) Patience (To understand that each student learns at his/her own pace)
5) Proper time-management and pacing of lessons to meet test/exam dates
6) Flexibility and ability to adopt different teaching methodology to cater to the student's needs

    Hello!
    As you can see from my Education Portfolio, I have great interest and passion in Design, something I chose to pursue and excelled over the years. However, being able to teach and help students is also one of my aspiration.

    I believe that education is not just about grade(s), but also to truly understand the purpose of education - bringing knowledge into practice; in turn build a strong foundation for the young ones. This is why I had decided to commit in teaching, at the same time, lending a helping hand to the parents.

    I am an experienced tutor who started off with part-time tutoring to full-time today. Before entering uni, I have also worked full time as a Child Care teacher. Parents are generally happy and comfortable by handing their children to me.

    • Primary 3 Mathematics-Problem Sums
      Course Description:
      The aim of the class is to boost confidence in students when it comes to solving problem sums. As we all understand, it is a heavy weightage component that one must and should excel to do well. The class seeks to strengthen one's foundation and comprehend the true beauty of problem sums.

      Of course, together, we will be still working towards the analogy of "Practice makes perfect!" Practice questions will be given based on the topics ongoing in school and the material used would come from both Past Year Examination Papers as well as onSponge Conquer Problem Sum Assessment Book. With practice and full comprehension of problem sum, we look forward to enjoying the subject and achieve greater improvements! :)
      Other Details:
      Pace of class will follow according to school's pace - to avoid information bombardment, that could necessarily lead to stress. But, of course, if students are strong, stable and confident enough, I am happy to up the challenge for them! :)

      Yes, homework will be given in moderate amount. In math, practice is still one of the key to improvements! :)

      • Primary 3 Science-Applying Science Concept
        Course Description:
        The aim of the class is to build a strong foundation in Science. Understanding science concept may be simple, but applying it accurately could be a challenge. The class would touch base on two factors 1. Understanding Topic/Concept 2. Applying it accurately.

        Similar to Math, "Practice Makes Perfect" would come into place. Exposure to Science questions is important, especially MCQ (60marks). We will be working a lot on past year practice papers (or even up the game to PSLE questions, just to get one comfortable and curious about things around.) :)

        Other Details:
        Payment will be based on 4 lesson / month.

        Pace of class will follow according to school's pace - to avoid information bombardment that could necessarily lead to stress.

        Yes, homework will be given in moderate amount. Who knows, one of the homework questions could be an exam question?! :)

          Rapport Building
          As I am a student myself, I understand my student's mindset & mentality and hence would be able to cater to his/her needs more. i would be able to understand more from their point of view & effectively help them to the best of my abilities. I would also constantly update the parents on their child's progress & make admendments according to their requests in order to create a good relationship with both the parents and the students.
          Keeping Up with Curriculum
          i would constantly check back to SEAB's curriculum & look through assessment books in order to make sure that my child is learning what is required of him & make sure he understands the content thoroughly before moving on to the next. I would also familiarize myself with the child's own homework & lessons to make sure i'm on the right track
          As a Good Tutor
          i feel that a good tutor should be able to be flexible enough to change their way of teaching according to the child's level of ability. She also has to be able to effectively engage the student to make sure that he/she is absorbing content & understanding it. The relationship between a tutor & student has to also be based on trust & understanding so that a good rapport will be established, hence making it easier to help the child improve in his studies, as well as to love the subject more.

            I am a friendly person who is open to communication. Students find me easy to talk me. I will take into account students' needs and their current homework load before issuing homework to them. By giving them support and sufficient time to complete their work, I am able to build a close relationship with students.
            Keeping Up with Curriculum
            Besides keeping myself updated with MOE policies, I will communicate with my ex-colleagues who are current school teachers regularly, in order to keep abreast with school assessments and curriculum.
            As a Good Tutor
            I feel responsible towards my students, and will insist that they can only improve when they do their work. Language can only be improved when one use it frequently through reading, listening, writing and talking. Chinese is not just another subject; it is a "live" language that should be appreciated. As a Chinese teacher, my responsibility is not simply to prepare my students for examinations, but also to make them understand and appreciate their hertiage.
