Commitment / Other Details
I am a full-time private tutor, mainly teaching Primary school children from low-income families under the CDAC Tuition Programme. You could say that I am the "Champion of the underdog". I am married to a Vietnamese national and we have a two-year old child, a boy. We currently live at Redhill. Quote: There are only two lasting bequests we can give to our children. One is money and the other is wings. While we are busy fitting our children out with new and better wings through 21st century competencies and a more rounded education, we must not forget to help them develop their moral compass and their national identity. In times of uncertainty and crises, rootedness and resilience are what will carry us through. In pursuing holistic education in the 21st century, the roles of teachers will shift. From their primary role as a dispenser of information, teachers are more likely to become conductors of learning symphonies, helping students turn information into knowledge, knowledge into wisdom, and wisdom into contributions for a better world."

Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have been giving private tuition since late 2005, when I was still in university. I also have a year of experience teaching at SAJC in 2010 as a contract teacher. I enjoy coaching students who are struggling in their studies. Most of the time, my students started off with little understanding of what is required of them to get better results. They think that those who get straight As are smarter and/or more hard working than themselves. This is only half the story. Besides working hard, most of them do not know that they also need to take note of things such as time management during examinations, preparation of a proper study time table before they embark on their revision etc. These are the things that will make a big difference to the kind of grades that they are consistently getting.

    Teaching for 1 year. Only have 1 student, as it was passed over from a friend. Did not register with tuition agencies.

    I am able to begin immediately, weekdays included. However, after August 2014, I would be only be able to make it on weekends due to school, but I will make certain exceptions. Will do a double session on weekends. Can commit till Dec 2014, then I will be going on exchange for 6 months. Will find another suitable tutor for the student.

    I would talk to them like a friend, and not a teacher. Instead of constantly bugging them to do their work, I would give them occasional short breaks and motivate them. I will talk to their parents after every session to discuss what I've gone through with their kids, and what they can improve on.
    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I read up on textbooks to refresh myself on concepts that are being taught now in schools.
    As a Good Tutor
    A good tutor must possess patience, knowledge, dedication, commitment, excellence, and most importantly, to be able to help the students to achieve their desired results.

            I go an extra mile of staying back with students after lesson to allow them some time to clarify any doubts that they have or to catch up with any assignments.
            I consistently check on their performance with their parents or themselves over the phone. They are also more than welcome to ask me any questions over the phone after lesson.
            I do provide notes for them if they need it.
