Tutor’s Teaching Background

Will schedule make up lessons for the dates I am travelling during the holidays I am currently teaching or have taught: 1. Primary school math, english and science. 2. Secondary school emath, amath, 3. IB Math Each year my classes are fully booked and I have a total of around 13 students per year. I am an experienced tutor, and have been giving tuition for 6 years. I am dedicated and believe strongly in both academic success and imparting knowledge and skills useful to help my students develop. I aim to inspire students to take charge of their own learning, and I am able to motivate and engage students who don’t like math and science. I build good rapport with students, and have a few students that have been with me since PSLE and have just completed O levels. Achievements: Recently for GCE N level, both students I taught got through the Polytechnic Foundation Program. Sec 2 math student got full marks for most recent exam. Another student improved from F9 in CA1 for Math to B3 for O levels. My students' results have gone from failing or barely passing to consistently achieving high marks, including As and high Bs. I have also pulled students from NA to express stream. All of my students results have improved drastically and the positive feedback from parents is a testament to the quality of my teaching and my commitment to my students' success. My teaching philosophy: As a teacher, my ultimate goal is to empower my students to reach their full potential and achieve their academic goals. I believe that every student has the ability to succeed, and it is my job to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that fosters their growth and development. Ultimately, my teaching philosophy is centered around the belief that every student has the potential to succeed, and it is my role to provide the support and guidance they need to reach their goals. When teaching, I identify the students weaknesses and strengths first. Laying down a solid foundation is very important, as schools (primary, sec and jcs) tend to adopt a cumulative learning approach, where students are required to tap on what they learnt in the past. Subsequent topics usually require concepts from previous topics and as such this snowballs and results in poor foundation. As such, foundation is very important to do well especially for subjects like mathematics. My lessons are planned to target concepts and chapters that students are weak in. After solidifying foundation, then I will provide questions related to the topic for the student to retain the knowledge and apply the concepts learnt beforehand. Practicing is also important for me to gauge what the student knows and do not know. My lessons are very focused and individually catered to every student. I will also prepare materials and explain in the way that is not technical and easily understood (like explaining based on real life examples that students can relate to).
