I am specialising in private or small group tuition for English, History and Social Studies for secondary level and GP and History for JC level. As a former Arts student from Hwa Chong, I have updated knowledge of the syllabus.

        Tuition/Teaching Experience
        Being an experienced Chinese Language secondary school teacher for the past 12 years, I am familiar with the challenges faced by students nowadays in learning their mother tongue. My many years of being a 'O'/'N' level examiner and marker have provided me with a clear insight of what is required to excel in the subject. Also having been a form teacher and classroom teacher for over a decade, I am able to communicate effectively with parents and establish good rapport with students, so as to foster positive working relationships and work towards raising the confidence and academic performance of the students. As an effectively bilingual local educator, I am able to engage local students and ensure clarity in the delivery of knowledge and concepts, which many of my past students appreciated.

        I am able to start providing tuition sessions right away, and at the moment I am able to commit till end of the year 2015. I am able to travel to student's place of residence to give tuition, but preferably within the East areas.
        Rapport Building
        I would normally build rapport with students by firstly clarifying with them their academic needs and challenges in the subject, starting to teach the subject at their level to boost their morale and confidence, as well as being approachable and open to any feedback from them on how I can further assist them in their learning. I am also very patient and always provide encouragement to students, so that they continue to feel good about learning the subject. As for parents, I would normally build rapport with them by giving them regular feedback on the learning progress of their child, and also by discussing with them on what they can do to inculcate the child's further interest in the subject.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        As I have just left the teaching service earlier this year 2015, I am still quite familiar with the current curriculum. However, I intend to keep myself updated with the curriculum by obtaining latest information from ex-colleagues who are still teaching in schools, by regularly checking MOE/SEAB websites, as well as by checking out relevant educational text/assessment books and materials in major bookstores.
        As a Good Tutor
        I believe that a good tutor should be one that understands the respective challenge(s) faced by each student, collaborates with student and parents to overcome the challenge, and endeavours to eventually raise the confidence and result of the student.

        For parents, I will try to determine their level of involvement with the child's education -- to determine how I can formulate the study plan.
        As for the students, I will simply do so by conversing and determining their struggles with the subject.

              I enjoy helping others achieve their goals, both academic and non-academic. I believe in purposeful motivation as opposed to obligation-led focus, since the former is a permanent trait that would benefit one in every aspect.

              I moved to Taipei, Taiwan shortly after taking my PSLE and have spent my impressionable teenage years learning from my peers and teachers from all over the world, taking away memorable life lessons that help me form the positive attitude i hold today. I remember being in primary school in Singapore, experiencing the overt emphasis on examination results and the crushing disappointment in myself whenever i didn't deliver. I've since been exposed to a completely different method of education, whereby studying for exams becomes a healthy challenge to one's self; a form of experimentation to see just how much your brain can hold and more importantly, inviting further curiosity about the wonderful things in our world. English literature, my favourite subject, became about studying the meaning of the texts and what the author was trying to tell the world, as opposed to merely finding the right answer to an exam question regarding the author's intentions. And Math, the bane of my academic experience, became a puzzle i was determined to solve. It is a complicated subject of unique logic, whereby one is either clueless or a genius, depending if he/she chooses to find the right formula to unlock its pattern. Such an outlook later on allowed me to excel in Junior College, despite the strenuous transition from an international system to the local educational system.

              I hope to bring a fresh attitude to the table in order to spread positivity about education. I also hope to help students demolish the previously etched image of exams, instead helping them see that these hurdles can be overcome with the right methods of study. Speaking from personal experience, my mentees/tutees have developed inquisitive attitudes about various subjects once their views of academics have been corrected. This has helped their grades improve significantly since interest breeds self-motivation. I sincerely wish to bring education to a higher level, providing students with the learning experience they deserve.
              Keeping Up with Curriculum
              I stay up-to-date with the local curriculum through the newspapers and SEAB websites.
              As a Good Tutor
              Good tutors analyse the study pattern and attitude the tutee has towards a particular subject and education in general. Based on his/her observations, a good tutor would sit down with the tutee's parents and evaluate the child's learning obstacles. From there, the tutor should suggest and implement changes to the child's learning methods and guide him/her through the learning process.
