Subjects tutored: Mathematics, Science, Geography, English, Business Studies, Individuals and Societies, Physical Education Achievements: - Grade 10 student: Improved Mathematics grade from 3.3 to 5.5 - Grade 7 student: Improved English, Individuals and Societies, and Science grades from 4 to 5 - Grade 3 student: Provided foundational support across core subjects to strengthen academic performance and confidence Undergraduate Teaching Assistant: Teaching Module EG1311 Design and Make, under NUS Faculty of Engineering Dean's Office Completed: AY 2021/22 Semester 1 & 2, AY 2022/23 Semester 1 & 2, AY 2023/24 Semester 1 & 2 Module overview: This module covers the fundamentals of engineering design and prototyping. Students will learn design principles and tools through lectures and engage in experiential learning through group design projects. A stage-based design process will be covered. Students will develop skills in Arduino-controlled electronics, CAD modelling, and rapid prototyping to demonstrate their ideas. Module Structure: Weekly Lab Lessons, 2 hours each Responsibilities: - Facilitated weekly laboratory sessions as a teaching assistant - Explained to students the module syllabus, consisting of fundamentals of Arduino, C++, electric wiring and circuitry, design thinking, TinkerCAD and Autodesk Fusion 360 - Encouraged teamwork, effective time management and creative brainstorming amongst students over the course of 13 weeks each semester - Collaborated with other teaching assistants to complete administrative work required for each weekly laboratory session Paid tutoring (May 2020 - Oct 2020): Tutored to a Primary 6 student in Mathematics and Science over a 6-month period. Achieved notable grade improvements: Mathematics: B to A Science: F to B Volunteer Ad-hoc tutoring for A Level Chemistry (May 2020 - Oct 2020): Unable to track grade improvements due to ad-hoc nature of tutoring and the lack of continuity in the program
