I have been giving tuition since JC and have more than 10 years of full-time experience in tutoring lower Primary English, Mathematics, Science, Chinese and Higher Chinese. I have also taught at a tuition centre. All of my students improved greatly in their grades. Most of them scored ‘A’s for the subjects that I tutored them. Academic Credentials 1.I graduated with a Bachelor degree in Science (Pharmacy, Honours) from a prestigious University, the National University of Singapore. 2.I was offered 2 MOE Scholarships in Secondary School and JC. 3.I was admitted into Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, and was offered a scholarship by the Vice-Dean. 4.In Primary school, I was a top student in Mathematics and excelled in a Mathematics competition. I scored an ‘A*’ for Mathematics, as well as ‘A’s for English and Chinese. 5.I gained admission into the Special Stream of a SAP School, Chung Cheng High School (Main). And I was in the top Triple Science (Chemistry, Biology and Physics) class in Secondary school. I scored 10 'O' level distinctions (all 'A1's, including English). In addition, I was the top student in the entire school in my Secondary 4 Preliminary Examinations. Lastly, I was among the top of the class and cohort for many subjects - like English, English Literature, Chinese, Higher Chinese, Science, Chemistry and Biology. 6.I attended a top 5 JC, namely Temasek Junior College and was in the top Triple Science class. I was the top Biology student and was the only ‘A1’ scorer in the whole level for a Semestral Assessment. I also participated in a National Science competition and won the championships.

Having had the opportunity to experience both the Singaporean and British education system has given me a vast understanding of both the local and international curriculum, their benefits and pitfalls, and the ability to cater such lessons for my students. Teaching in several top institutions in Singapore has further blessed me with a wealth of experience in dealing with a plethora of students of varying interests and capabilities. Prior to teaching, I was a full-time lawyer. Presenting thoughts concisely in written text, articulation and voice projection have been natural skills learnt along the way. I keep the lessons dynamic and in accordance to the child's learning style - audio, visual or kinetic. I have a wealth of experience in teaching non-native English speakers and being a language learner myself of Russian and Portuguese, I understand the difficulties and break this down in the most palatable manner. Aside from academia I participate in several martial arts, skydiving and latin dance. Upon becoming a full-time tutor, I've sought a Diploma in Public Speaking, a Diploma in Teaching Speech and Drama as well as Jolly Phonics (UK) teaching certification. Working with students across different age groups and cultures is electrifying. I believe everyone learns differently and techniques shouldn’t be limited by age or capabilities. I relish planning and customising lessons to my students expectations and desires, based on what is relevant and of interest to them. Eventually, working toward their ultimate aspiration. The experience is extremely gratifying unlike any other.

I'm a current full-time tutor specialising in O Level Math and Science and I’m also familar with the IB syllabus. All of my students have had improvements in their grades for major exams, majority achieving As and high Bs. I’m committed to help students understand and grasp the key concepts and principles behind the subjects they are learning. I have performed well myself at GCE A and O levels, and was awarded a scholarship with the largest professional services firm in Singapore which I have joined for four years after graduation, working on accounting and tax for multinational conglomerates and large financial institutions. I am currently a full-time tutor to engage in face-to-face work which I am more passionate about. I have a good understanding of exam techniques and key concepts that are usually tested in the syllabus, and I try to help students understand what is required of them to achieve the necessary marks. I usually explain problems by breaking them down to simple and understandable parts and I’ll guide the students step-by-step on the logic of achieving the answers. I’m very patient with the explanation and drilling process to make sure they have a firm foundation in the core principles of the subject matter and I don’t stinge on effort and time. I also try to build positive rapport with the students so I can communicate with them better to identify and help with their problem areas.

NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Hi! In my 14 years of tutoring experience, I have taught a wide array of student from private candidates to IP,IGCSE, IB, PSLE, O' levels as well as A'levels students. I specialise in English and Literature. personal details aside, I would also like to inform you thatteaching is something i enjoy because there have been many tutors in my life that have impacted my educational development and I would like to pay it forward. Currently my experience teaching at a tuition center helps to streamline myself with the MOE syllabus better. I've had 7 years of IB teaching experience and currently have 3 students at hand now. Two of them are from HCI and another student is from ASC(I). IB requires a specific set of literature skill techniques which I was widely exposed to during my honours degree, thus would be more than helpful for IB students building their analytical skill set. With my share of PSLE and O level students over the 9 years, I've come to understand my students' key areas of weakness, namely composition and comprehension. As such, guidance for these two areas are heavily emphasised. Students under my tutelage are given worksheets that have strengthen and perfect their grammar as they are expected to score full marks in grammar sections. Worksheets are also tailored individually and accordingly to each student's weakness. With combined hard work, my students normally see at least a grade improvement after at least 3 months of working together. I believe every student has the capacity to excel and together, we can bring help bring your child's English Lanuage to excellence.

I have been teaching students effectively, with a student achieving A2 from C6 in English for over 5 years, and have experience in piquing the interest of children when they learn. I am very easily approachable and willing to learn.

I also currently teach English Literature. I have taken literature at both O and A levels, and have attained distinctions both times.

NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

With 5 years experience in both private and tuition centre environment specialising in E & A maths, Science (Chemistry) and General Paper, I am constantly up to date with the latest MOE syllabus and teaching methodology. I used to suffer from ADHD personally when I was younger. Therefore, most of my students have low attention span and ADHD. I am able to shape my learning methods to fit into their personality and learning techniques. I have a good teacher-student relationship with my students because I feel that education is not just concepts and definitions, students needs to first enjoy lessons with me before they are interested in what I teach and fall in love with the subject, thus doing well ultimately. Methods of teaching are tailored according to the needs and levels of the students. For weaker students, I will ensure that the core fundamentals and concepts are grasped by the students before proceeding to subsequent chapters. I personally emphasise a lot on fundamentals as these are the building blocks of the students’ education pathway of the subject. For those who are fundamentally stronger in their concepts, I sieve out more challenging and rigorous questions to further challenge their knowledge of their techniques and concepts. Notes are personally prepared by me tailor for each student. Hence, none of my students own the exact same notes. All the notes are catered to their understanding and study methods. These notes will aid the students learning process, allowing them to digest each and every concepts easily. As a committed tutor, I encourage my students to contact me through WhatsApp when in doubts.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences from NTU and a Masters in Applied Economics from NTU as well as Accounting qualifications from ACCA. I specialize in tutoring Mathematics, Accounting and Economics. To date, in my 8 years of experience teaching tuition, I have taught over 30 students, including IP students, most of whom have continued with me up till the end of their national papers and further studies. I am able to explain key concepts clearly and ensure students understand these concepts by providing useful tips for students to grasp the topic better. There are notable improvements in results for all my students. Many students have experienced going from 'fail' to 'A' grades with me. Those with already good grades have also improved to 'A' grades.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO

As a tutor, my aim is to ensure my students fully enjoy and understand whatever subject I am teaching. I hope to instill a passion for learning in them. I have been teaching students for the past six years and have taught over 18 students from both primary and secondary school in English, Science, Tamil and Humanities. During my lessons, I will ensure that my students understand the topic fully before moving on. I believe in concept maps and mind maps and will summarize the topic for the students’ better understanding. I do not believe in giving extra homework as the student will already have school work to do. I will set quizzes to test my students and check their progress level. I am open to 1 to 1 tuition and group tuition depending on the students’ preference. As a tutor, I will do my level best in ensuring that my students will achieve their goals. I have taught four secondary 1 and 2 students during the past 2 years. Presently, I am teaching 2 secondary 4 student, two primary school students and 1 JC1 student. I have a lot of experience in working with 'O' level and PSLE students. Two of my students who were failing had improved by passing their mid-term, and eventually attained B3 for the end of year examinations, in a short span of 6 months. My primary school student, who was failing her English, attained 80 for her final examinations this year. A few of my students scored 75 - 85 marks in their examinations as well. I have taught both PSLE and O level students and have done my best to guide them to achieve A grades which my students have achieved.

I am familiar with the syllabus and have been tutored myself, back when I was in school, so I know what's truly effective and what doesn't really work.I've consistently scored As for English and English-related subjects (Literature) in every major examination, so I must be doing something right :)My essays are always being circulated amongst my class and/or cohort in secondary school and JC as examples of ideal essays, therefore I'd also like to be able to share and transfer the skills and techniques of good writing to my tutee.I interned at a language school the previous year, which gave me some experience in guiding students, especially those weaker in English.

Ivony

ANDERSON JUNIOR COLLEGE

I am an A-level graduate from Anderson Junior College, currently an NUS accountancy student,hoping to help others attain their desired grades the same way my past teachers and tutors have helped me achieve mine.When tutoring others, I usually ask them if they have any questions they want to ask and if they do, why they find the question difficult. From these questions, I can usually identify and sort out any misunderstandings. Then, I ordinarily ask whether the student has any other doubts about the topic that I further clarify or if they want, I can explain the entire topic to them as a refresher (typically using my own notes and summaries from my own school years) and definitely recommend practice.As an ex-MOE scholar (2015-2018), I understand the high pressures most students are under to perform during exams - especially for thosewho might be unfamiliar to the system- and I honestly believe every student is capable of doing so as long as they genuinely believe they can and I believe I can pump this sort of confidence into them - along with the knowledge and skills needed to justify that confidence boost. Highest level I have taught is JC2 H2 Economics

I have three years of private tutoring experience. Teaching English is my passion. Through my friendly disposition and patience in teaching, I have not only helped my students improve in their English grades, but have also been a friend and a coach to them who genuinely cares about their wellbeing. My Bachelor (Hons) degree is in English Literature, and my niche is teaching English and English Literature, of which I have been consistently achieving A or B in my years of education. Thus far I have taught English to six upper primary school students and three secondary school students, who all have improved significantly in their grades. I have also taught English Literature to one lower secondary student, who has managed to score an A1 in her 'O' level examinations. Few things bring me more joy than seeing my students enjoy learning and improving their English from my lessons.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE

I have been given the great opportunity to tutor multiple students throughout the 6 years I have been engaged in this field. I have encountered different minds with varied unique learning capabilities, at times struggling to adapt to our education system. Being someone who has gone through similar troubles, I have had valuable insight on how to coach these students in helping them not only attain better grades but to also enjoy their time studying the subjects. I specifically specialize in the Humanities, I teach English/GP/Lang A(IB), History (H2/H1), Combined Humanities (N/O Levels). I have also had stints in teaching Economics (H1/H2). My students have consistently produced marked improvements and have become more engaged and endearing of the subjects they found so much difficulty in. My approach usually is a good mix of hardened, well-used methods in teaching as well as a tincture of personal mentoring and encouragement. As I pursued my education in NUS Law, I believe in setting a strong role model for my students to not only look up to but to also strive towards. Many a time I share my failures with my students so as to reassure them that, I, too, have struggled in their positions but it is in their power to push through. If you do wish to engage me, I will undertake your trust with the greatest responsibility towards your (child/own) education. Thank You. p.s 1)My sessions are a standard 2 hours for efficient and holistic coverage 2) My specialty is in critical thinking and general knowledge.

- strong experience with NA students- passionate about teachingstudents, I want to help you get an A- availability and intensity can be discussed.- important note: available Mar-Jun. After June 2020 TBC.Background:I have experience giving part-time tuition to students for 8years now, with a forte in providing intensive crash-courses for students that want good help to improve their grades, fast. My teaching method is the same as how I have always personally studied and received tuition throughout my academic years: by working on exam papers, then focusing on specific topics that the student is weaker in, because this trains both exam taking skills and provides a very focused approach – and I believe my results and of my students' speak for themselves (I am open to be contacted for referees). As a personal tuition philosophy, I believe that every student should invest into the English subject, because this is a consistent, crucial subject that is counted in to the overall score of every major Singapore exam.

Since young, I have been good with the Tamil Language. A* at PSLE, A1 at O levels, B for Tamil Literature at A level. I also have the experience of relief teaching Tamil Language and Higher Tamil at Jurong west secondary school. So i am well aware of the secondary syllabus. I have been teaching tuition since 2010. My students include students from Primary school, Secondary school, IP and IB program. Having been a full-time tutor for 7 years now, I have been teaching English Language and Tamil Language ever since. Studying communications in NUS has given me an advantage in guiding my students to learn languages in a relevant manner along with attaining excellent grades. I have taken at least 1 student for O level English each year, in the past years and all of them have improved their grades tremendously. The past two students from Bt Panjang Govt High have gotten an A1 at O Level from a C5. I also have taught English at Swiss Cottage Secondary. I also have the experience of relief teaching at Jurong West Secondary School. I taught Tamil and higher Tamil. In the past year, I have taught JC GP and Tamil for JC1 students, who have improved from D's and C's to B's in 3 months. I have also taken IB students for Tamil, and they have improved significantly. For the past 1 year, I have been taking on more students who are applying for scholarships and require coaching in completing their essay submissions and prepare for interviews. I also teach English to expats who have recently migrated to Singapore.

Hua Zhen

NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

I have been teaching private tuition since 2013, when I completed my A levels. I have taught many students English and Chinese. For languages like English and Chinese, I strongly believe that it is very important for the speaker to have confidence in the language in order for them to be receptive to learning. This belief features strongly in lesson plans, which will involve an interactive style of teaching to encourage the tutee to be more comfortable with the language they need help with. There will also be homework to reinforce concepts learnt in lessons so that we can progress from one lesson to another. Aside from scoring straight distinctions at my A levels, I was also a university scholar.
