Rapport Building
1. Be very open & flexible in the way the parents/students want the lesson conducted, e.g. pace, topics which need more/less emphasis...
2. Give frank feedbacks to students & parents, but never resort to scolding
3. Give real-life examples or relevant analogies to visualize abstract concepts
4. Make sure students understand concept before attempting problems, to build confidence and avoid spoon-feeding in problem solving
4. Be as flexible as possible in terms of lesson scheduling, especially near exam period
Keeping Up with Curriculum
1. Frequent connects with current MOE teachers to keep myself abreast with the curriculum
2. Understanding content before school starts with the different reference materials available in the market
As a Good Tutor
I believe that while passion and patience are crucial qualities in effectively guiding students towards fufiling their academic potential, content mastery of the teacher cannot be neglected. Content confidence is necessary to empower and inspire students towards academic excellence with proper scaffolding.

A good tutor will be able to give real-life examples or analogies to visualize abstract concepts to help students understand the content. I will also impart in my students a systematic framework for problem solving to help them think critically and independently, not only in exams, but also apply their knowledge in daily life.

    Keeping Up with Curriculum
    I would look at assessments or papers that are available in the market and keep updated about the change in syllabus in the past years.
    As a Good Tutor
    In my opinion, I believe that a good tutor should have patience in guiding their students. Since we are not able to commit as much time as a full time school teacher, we need to consolidate our teaching materials and allow the student to understand as much as possible within the one or two hours.
    Thus, a good tutor should always plan before hand what to teach their students as every student is different. We should find a suitable method and pace to teach each student.

        I have been tutoring for 3 years now. My first assignment was to get a foreign student past the entry exams into Secondary 2 here. She had failed on two prior occasions and this was her penultimate try. I managed to get her through despite having only a month to work with her. I found that I did have a knack for teaching. I have also worked with international kids (Grade 8, 9 and 12), primary school kids (P2, P3, P4, P6), secondary school kids (Sec 2, 3, 4, 5).

        I have around 2 years experience. In this 2 years, I have taught a total of 5 students. I have taught English, Mathematics and Science in Upper Primary and Lower Secondary levels. One notable achievement would be that one of my students greatly improved his Mathematics within half a year of tutoring, which I'm very proud of. Academically, I have always been doing relatively well in school; my stronger subjects are Mathematics and Science. I am also a patient tutor. As a student myself, I also understand that it is important for a teacher to be patient. I am also dedicated and passionate to teach, as I am considering being a teacher in the future. I believe that it is important to not only teach the content, but also how to learn and study the content.

        I was in a Uniformed Group CCA in secondary school, a sports CCA in JC, and am currently a varsity sports team vice-captain in university. I perfectly understand students' struggles to juggle commitments and still perform in academics; I hope by being somewhat like a student mentor to them, I can have some rapport with my tutees which would allow for a much smoother collaboration. I'm also patient with answering any questions and providing guidance, as I have had to guide my younger cousin with her schoolwork and give advice in her selection of university course.
        Keeping Up with Curriculum
        As a Good Tutor
        Since young, I found that I performed much better academically when I put in the effort to understand what I was learning, rather than memorising and regurgitating answers and methods. In a sense, this skill set allows me to think and develop answers almost instinctively, to first understand what is being demanded and then apply what I know to answer it. For this reason I've particularly excelled in languages and humanities subjects.

        I would seek to inculcate in my tutees this same skill set, to strengthen their foundations such that they may answer any form of questions confidently, especially for younger tutees. For older tutees in subjects like GP, what I hope to impart is not just general knowledge I've learnt in my Sociology courses which are useful for the paper, but also the ability to analyse what is demanded in questions and how to effectively meet those demands. My course of study also requires me to hone my writing and analytical skills, which are important for GP.
