Qualification: Graduate

Tuition Background: Part-Time

Tuition/Teaching Experience: I believe in building up my students' self-esteem. I believe that once you believe in yourself, the learning will follow in every area of their lives. I am a Piano Grade 8 graduate who is furthering her music education. I have previously taught music in schools and also as a private teacher. In the past, i had also performed as a keyboardist in several bands. I see music as an extension to oneself, an outlet for students to be more expressive.

I also conduct English and English literature classes. With my music background, I have come to see both these subjects as an art form and not just a hard subject and this view definitely shapes understanding and make learning more enjoyable and interesting.

Overall, I believe in building confidence so my students excel in all areas of life.

Commitment / Other Details: I can start immediately and can commit to a long term tuition assignments.

Rapport Building: I usually work on listening to students, finding out their interests and building their self-esteem. Where possible especially for home assignments where parents are around, I usually tell the parents what I covered during the lesson and for parents who are able to check on the students' practices, I let them know what to look out for so they feel included in the child's growth and also so that they would know that their children are making progress.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: I regularly check the ABRSM website to check on updates and have a circle of piano teachers that I regularly hold conference with to keep updated.

As a Good Tutor: I think a good tutor should have a good listening ear and should be able to encourage, motivate their students. They should be patient enough to constantly seek new ways to revamp their lessons especially for students who have difficulty in understanding.

Commitment / Other Details: I'm able to start asap and I can commit to a assignment for at least a year. Right now, I'm fully committed to my teaching as I have no other commitments. So the student can enquire me about his problems as and when he/she likes.

Rapport Building: I'm friendly and usually able to accomodate to any commitments the parents/students has. For example, re-scheduling the lesson so that he can attend his CCAs or if the family may go on a holiday. I'm usually open to teach outside of the lesson. For example, the student can whatsapp me their questions out side of class and I will try to answer them. I maintain a good rapport with parents by reminding them the day before that I would be coming for tuition, have casual chats before and after lesson, discuss about his difficulties and problems, recommending assessment books. But I believe that as long as the parent is at ease, means I have done my job and I strive for that for all my student's parents.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: I read up the textbooks to review my knowledge. I tend to read up on education news to also note any change in the syllabus. I visit the bookstores to keep my self updated on the syllabus by browsing assessment books.

As a Good Tutor: I think the tutor must be patient and friendly so that the student can clarify his doubts to him in an approachable manner. The tutor can also share his wealth of experiences to the student as they have been through college and getting the degree. The tutor should also encourage the student to do his best and develop interest in the subject and that tutor must have expertise in the subject area he is teaching

Qualification: Graduate

Tuition Background: Full-Time

Tuition/Teaching Experience: I have been tutoring since I was in Junior College 8 years ago. In total, I have tutored 7 students ranging from Primary to 'O' levels. Subjects covered include A and E Math, all Sciences (combined or pure) and English writing. The most recent two students I had (two brothers), did well in IB and 'O' levels, managing to secure places in NUS and Temasek JC respectively. Overall, I have had great experiences tutoring students, and many of us remain in touch till this day. Having covered advanced Science concepts in my degree, I bring additional insight to my tuition sessions: when confronted by curious students who ask deeper questions, instead of telling them "it is what the textbook says", I am able to explain to them in detail the nature of the Science behind the concept.

Commitment / Other Details: Start date: As soon as possible
Commitment: I am currently a graduate student, hence I can do weekends and after-school hours on weekdays. I can commit until June 2017 to my tuition assignments.

Rapport Building: Compared to years back when I was schooling, I concede that school children are placed under a staggering amount of stress from teachers and parents. And parents are placed under even more stress by the system and other parents. Having understood this, I am driven to help my students excel by showing them that I am on their side and their success is my intention. In previous tuition assignments, I invested my time outside of tutoring to go for meals with my students and to check in with them over SMS/Whatsapp because I believe building the tutor-student relationship is essential for my students to trust in my ability to help them excel. In addition, I constantly have a chat with the parents before/after tutoring because they know my student best and their input helps me adapt my teaching better.

Keeping Up with Curriculum: My last tuition assignment was last year and I have been in touch with current textbooks and study material. In addition, depending on the tuition assignment, I download learning objectives and syllabuses from the examining authority's website. For example, for an 'A' level assignment, I refer to http://www.seab.gov.sg/pages/nationalExaminations/GAL/School_Candidates/2017_GCE_A.asp to get a good understanding of outcomes expected of an 'A' level student. I then use that information to supplement textbooks in my tuition sessions.

As a Good Tutor: In gist, a good tutor should have at baseline qualities of adaptability, commitment and patience.
Adaptability: Because every student is different, tutors must be able to switch teaching styles in order to maximize the student's learning experience in the very short tuition session. I have taught students from different proficiency levels and also taught one with a mild learning disability. Through that, I have learnt to be flexible and self-correcting when it comes to teaching a new student.
Commitment: Outside of committing personal time, I feel that tutors have to "buy in" to their students; their students' excellence reflects their effective teaching. I have invested time in my undergraduate years to mentor junior university students in Science and at this point, many of them have been accepted into prestigious research labs and PhD programmes; the satisfaction of committing my effort and time into these students is remarkable.
Patience: Most tuition students opt for tuition because they have difficulty keeping up with their schoolwork and require dedicated and focused education. Due to this, tutors have to be patient as their students may often be slow on the uptake and require repeated testing to fully understand the concepts. I tend to layer my tuition sessions, such that up to 10-15 minutes of a session is committed to recapping the content and concepts covered in the previous session. I have found that this is effective in maximizing retention.
