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 was once in your shoes. With a humble PSLE score, I enrolled in a neighbourhood secondary school and struggled through most of it. However, things changed when I discovered a highly effective study method. My grades picked up rapidly, allowing me to join Hwa Chong Institution after achieving 3 pts for the 'O' levels. I subsequently achieved 7 distinctions for the 'A' levels and entered the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS), where I am currently studying at. Thus far, I have taken part in a myriad of extracurricular activities, but I still managed to achieve an overall grade of distinction in my previous year of study. I certainly do not think that I managed to juggle my commitments because I am smarter or more capable than my peers; rather, it is my study method which enabled me to excel without having to sacrifice time on other activities. About my lessons Many tuition centres offer purely content-based lessons, for mere revision and additional practice. While this might be useful, it is hardly different from the usual school lessons. Furthermore, the time each tutor has with his students is limited, and students spend majority of their study time alone. It is thus unlikely for conventional tuition lessons to have a major impact on students' academic results. Apart from content-building, I believe that it is critical for tutors to equip their students with the right mindset and framework for independent study. And this is exactly what I aim to do as your tutor. The main goals of my lessons with you include the following: - Enable you to appreciate the value of your academic content, by drawing links to real-life applications etc. - Bring the academic content across to you more effectively by tailoring lessons to your learning style. - Help you to build a solid foundation in your subject of study, through effective and not just hard practice. - Equip you with the tools to study effectively and to maximize your study time. - Teach you the tips & tricks to score in examinations. - Stimulate creative and critical thinking to help you excel, even at higher education levels. Studying should not be a chore, neither should it make you sacrifice time with your loved ones. If this is not the case for you, perhaps you are not studying effectively and maximizing your study time. Join me if you would like to learn to study smart and not just hard. I want to help you reap the results you truly deserve. teaching since 2015

Chin Lee

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE

I started giving part time tuition in 2015, so I have 4 years of experience in teaching English. I teach students at the primary and secondary school levels, with experience teaching students from all streams (normal, express and special). In 2017, I taught in a private tution centre and conducted lessons in a group setting. I also went to student's homes to provide one-to-one lessons. I helped students to improve in terms of their language proficiency and fluency. I managed difficult and weak students, preparing them for PSLE and O Level Examinations. Under my tutelage, my Primary One student had improved from not being able to recognise English words at all to being able to read a storybook on his own. My Primary Three student had improved in terms of his creative writing and analytical skills. Majority of my students were secondary school students. I taught three Secondary One students, a Secondary Two student and a Secondary Four student. The Secondary One students had all improved their grades from a fail to a pass. The Secondary Four student had improved a lot and achieved a B grade for his GCE O level. Under my strict teaching, the Secondary Two student, who could not grasp the basics of English intially, had improved her written and spoken English remarkably. Currently, I am tutoring 3 primary school students and 3 secondary school students. I am looking to expand the number of tutees I have as a fresh graduate. I studied Psychology in the National University of Singapore (NUS). I am patient and understanding towards students. I will always try to accommodate to their needs, focus on their weaknesses and enhance their strengths.

I am an Undergraduate from Singapore Management University, reading Business Management. I wasgraduate of River Valley High School Integrated Programme, offering H1 General Paper, H2 Mathematics, H2 Biology, H2 Chemistry and H2 Economics as part of my ‘A’ Level curriculum, attaining grade B for General Paper and grade A for the remaining4 subjects.I have personally tutoreda few juniors and friends in school with the subjects that they were weak in across the 6 years as a student in my institution, helping them raise their grades by at least 2levels. I have also tutored 2 students for chemistry, and 2 more students for English/GP.These experiences also helped mould my teaching style, which is to identify the root causes of the problems and learning styles of the student and coming up with ways to fine tune or rebuild their foundation and thought processin the subject. I will give exam tips to the students to maximize their scores.

Abigail

NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

I have just graduated with a bachelors in communication from NTU, where I trained in journalism and research. I have also been a writer for Skyscanner, and attended law school previously. In Hwachong, I was the top 10% of the cohort in GP and had my essays published as model answers. My last GP student went from a U to B at A levels. Some of my other students improved from fail to B (IP English), B to talent programme (IP Literature), fail to B3 (O level English). I also have experience teaching international students from China learning English as a second language, as well as students on the autism spectrum. My method of teaching is to equip students with the skills for them to learn independently. Instead of spoon-feeding I will give hints and ask leading questions, because I want my students to go through the process of critical thinking and arrive at conclusions on their own. To get the most out of engaging me as a tutor, students should read articles I send them and be ready to discuss during lesson time. Students should also keep a journal (electronic or hard copy) of mistakes they have made, for me to periodically refer to and test them on. I generally assign minimal or even zero homework, unless parents request for more.

SINGAPORE UNIVERSITY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

I have a total of 6 years of part-time tutoring experience since 2013. My specialisation is in English Language, for all levels. I generally tutor students doing their Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) or O Levels, NA, NT as well as JC students taking General Paper and University students majoring in Social Sciences. I used to teach English Language and Home Economics in Boon Lay School. And currently, am an adjunct tutor with a private university for the subject of Social Work.Since leaving teaching and doing part-time tutoring, I've tutored more than twenty students from different levels and schools/institutions. Many of my students who scored a C or B actually improved their grades to either a B or an A. Their performance also depends on their commitment and efforts to pay attention in my lessons. I am willing to help students improve their grades so long they place considerable efforts towards wanting to improve themselves. My teaching methods include past-year and current papers/worksheets, practice papers and at times, unconventional ways to adapt to the different learning styles of each student. I took a sabbatical off work and everything else, between 2017-2018 to travel around. I just came back to Singapore this year, in May and would be continuing my part-time tutoring.

Jasmine

Singapore American School

I have a Masters degree from the National University of Singapore in English Literature, and I am extremely passionate about working with students. I have tutored General Paper before to a Very strong student from Eunoia Junior College. I also have experience teaching English as a second language to Italian immigrant children in Singapore. They were from Tanglin Trust School. Under my tutelage, they have blossomed from having difficulties in English to receiving the TOP score in the Year End English examination. I have been tutoring English Language and Literature since 2013. I have experience teaching the IB program and taught English literature, piano performance, music theory, and Theory of Knowledge. My students range from kindergarten all the way to the 12th grade. I am very familiar with both the local Singaporean and the international school syllabus as I have tutored both local and international clientele from both the normal streams, IB streams, as well as Express streams for advanced students. As I was from the Singapore American School, I am very experienced with the international school syllabus. I have experience teaching students with special needs as well; these students were in a class of lower primary kids. My students come from schools such as: Overseas Family School, Tanglin Trust School, Canadian International School, Jurong Junior College, Outram Secondary School, and Singapore Chinese Girl’s School. I am capable of helping students improve in their grades as I believe in going back to basic concepts to build a strong conceptual foundation for them, provide them many questions to practice, and source for educational materials for them, and as a result, here was a testimonial from a parent for a student I taught from Outram Secondary School: “We found her to be an exceedingly good tutor having great command over English language. She was able to break concepts down to simpler components and was resourceful enough in finding the right material for my son. Over to this she was kind, patient and thoughtful. All this helped my son improve his language skills and marks in his SA1 exams.” I have tutored a student from Canadian International School for IB Extended Essay, and I improved the student's grade from a B to an A. When I tutor a student, I first look at his or her writing to gauge where the student is at, and I tailor my approach to fit each student. I have also taught English Language and Literature at the Singapore Chinese Girl's School (SCGS) under Stanford University's Educational Program for Gifted Youth. During my time there, I supervised 22 research essays and presentations. I managed to help students come up with original ideas, and they all excelled on presentation day. Here is some feedback from my supervisor during my internship at SCGS: "Our seminar was a writing-intensive program for middle school girls held at the Singapore Chinese Girls School, with work and topics ranging from point of view, rhetoric, descriptive language, and narrative structure. Our sources included novels, short stories, poems, and instructional texts. In all these diverse sources and topics, Ms. Vahdati proved her agility and competence tenfold: skillfully navigating between sources, over time, and tailoring her approach to the particular needs and interests of each student. One particular moment stands out to demonstrate Ms. Vahdati’s skill and commitment. During a long form lesson on Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Ms. Vahdati offered her expertise and capably led an entire section and lesson on the subtleties of Lowry’s use of the English language and literature. By breaking the students into groups, encouraging them to voice their opinions and express their ideas, Ms. Vahdati was critical in helping each student develop their own thoughts and express those ideas in careful, descriptive prose. She is a dedicated, empathetic instructor who will pursue her teaching craft with care and ambition, developing each student into better thinkers and writers. Even more, Ms. Vahdati is compassionate and approachable who can offer each student guidance and direction." For my student from Tanglin Trust School, I managed to bring her from being average in her class to topping her class at the Year End Exam in English, which involved constructing an essay on a debatable topic and presenting it. Thus, I am very confident of my abilities! :)

I believe in “there’s nothing a child can’t do.” This is exactly how I feel about teaching.I Have 5 to 6 years teaching experience for Primary and secondary school students. I have been passionate in my commitment to three things: maximizing individual student performance, inspiring students’ interest in technology and instilling a sense of self-worth among all students.When meeting a new student, I always ask for his/her aspirations both in school and in future. As a home tutor, it is my duty to help the student perform well in school because education is always important. As a teacher, I aim to help my student navigate the ups and downs of life outside of school.

My name is Sheela Cheong and I have taught students from primary to university level for almost 15 years. For piano, I have completed my Grade 8 and I have experience teaching kindergarten and lower primary students. I can teach both theory and practical. Most of my teaching experience has been at the tertiary level -- at NUS here in Singapore and the University of California in the United States. Aside from English, English Literature and General Paper, I have also taught at Sociology, Anthropology, and American Studies departments amongst others, and believe my multi-disciplinary approach holds me in good stead in taking my students to the next level.
