Tutor’s Teaching Background

I am currently teaching or have taught: 1. Primary school math, english and science. 2. Secondary school math I am an experienced tutor, and have been giving tuition for 4 years. I am dedicated and believe strongly in academic success. I am also very passionate about math and able to motivate and engage students who don’t like math. Achievements: Recently sec 2 math student got full marks for most recent exam. I have helped to pull students grades from fail or barely pass to consistently getting As and high Bs. I specialize more in teaching mathematics and it is a subject I am confident in delivering results. All of my students results have improved drastically and this is supported by good reviews I have received from parents. My teaching philosophy: 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).
