"Without setbacks, you'll never achieve your next peak"
I have good experience in tutoring students at both upper and lower Secondary as well as upper Primary level. I specialise in teaching Mathematics and Science as these are subjects which I aced during my school days. My philosophy in teaching is simple - engage and build good rapport with my students to intrigue them in learning. In the past, I have undertaken numerous challenging assignment and have successfully brought about significant improvement in my students’ results. I believe the key to this success is the ability to break down difficult concepts into bite-size portions that can be easily understood and recalled. The tutor’s mastery of the subject matter is therefore essential. Equally important is the ability to align myself with the thinking of my students in order to understand the challenges that they face. Your child may be facing a difficult time learning the subject that he/she is currently weak in. Before he/she starts to lose interest, I would be happy to help him/her regain the confidence to do well in the subject again. I look forward to an opportunity to work with you.
I have been a full-time tutor for more than 5 years. Before turning full-time, I was also teaching part time for 3 years. To-date, I have taught around 80 students of various profiles. Some were above average students while others were from the normal academic stream. Most of the students I taught eventually achieved respectable improvement in their grades with a significant number achieving a two-grade improvement or better. For the above average students, a number of them were able to score well for their subjects that I taught them consistently. Those with borderline results or failed grades showed good progress and eventually surpassed the level that most of them did not believe they could ever achieve. Besides tutoring my students, I also act as a mentor to them. Not only do I coach them, I also motivate them when they lack the confidence in handling difficult problems. To me, this is an essential part of tutoring as raising my students’ confidence level would eventually lead to many positive outcomes.
I have scored As for the subjects that I currently teach including Mathematics, A-Maths, Science and Chemistry. I have also achieved straight As for the 3 A-level subjects needed to qualify for the University. My academic achievement also include a Master in Business Administration from the National University of Singapore.
