Tuition/Teaching Experience
I started giving Mathematics and Physics tuition since my JC days and went on to read Political Science, Communications studies and Sociology in NUS having decided that the humanities was more appealing to me than engineering.

Personally, success as a teacher is when I become redundant to my students. Given the amount of information out there, the role of the teacher is no longer that of an information/knowledge disseminator. Rather, the teacher has got to understand the thinking process of the learner and present the information in the manner which will spark curiosity in the learner.

The one thing which is lacking in Singaporean students is the hunger for knowledge and it is no wonder why given the way subjects have been taught.

The one thing which is lacking in Singaporean students is the hunger for knowledge and it is no wonder why given the way subjects have been taught. Essentially, a good teacher is someone who inspires learning and I expect my students to be able to become independent and reflective learners one day.

The new social studies syllabus is interesting because it gives students an opportunity to express their personal opinions on a wide range of topics. Regrettably, most students (and teachers) are uncomfortable with this because they do not read widely enough. I am fortunate to be placed in a prime position because of the introduction of the new SS syllabus and my training in Political Science and Sociology in NUS.

Social studies draws heavily on these two disciplines and that is why I am confident of delivering the kind of knowledge and thinking skills required by the new syllabus.

I like to teach history using the decontextualized approach to help the students appreciate the subject. This approach has the benefit of letting the students interact with the concepts alone without having to be burdened with historical knowledge. They will also start to see how they can apply what they have learned to their lives. Only after the students have grasped the historical concepts and skills will I recontextualize it for them and this makes learning history a breeze.

      GP essentially requires two areas to master : Knowledge (of both general current affairs, as well as one's niche topics) and the right Skills and Techniques to answer in a manner appropriate for various types of questions. Already having a collection of prelim papers of most JCs from previous years, I intend to have my students immediately dive into tackling them and thus conditioning them to understand what is required to excel in both of these areas.

        I was with Mendaki Sense tutoring the underprivileged students in the muslim community. I do not see myself as a teacher but as a friend to them as I often go out of my way to ask how were they coping and whether they require additional help. As a result, I have built a close rapport with my students and helped them with not just their grades but also their character building. I hope to do so with my future students. My teaching philosophy is that in order to perform well in a subject, the learner must first be passionate about it. I am confident that I am capable of inspiring and motivating my students to be better than they can imagine to be.
