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.

Sandy

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 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.

- strong experience with NA students- passionate about teachingstudents, I want to help you get an A- availability and intensity can be discussed.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.

I have recently received an offer from MOE after graduating from NUS Faculty of Law (2nd Upper).I have been teaching for approximately 4 years. I have been a full-time teacher in a tuition centre which specialises in Maths Olympiad Training. I have conducted Primary School Math Olympiad training lessons (in various primary schools and group tuition classes) and also PSLE Maths and Science syllabus classes.My education in NUS High School has also taught me an advanced syllabus in both Maths and Science that go beyond the scope of the standard Junior College curriculum. I am definitely looking forward to sharing the knowledge that I have gained with my students. I can be strict at times but I will also try to make classes interesting and cater to each student's needs and learning pace. I believe that classes for young students can be made enjoyable so long as one is patient enough to develop a bond with his/her fellow students. This connection is something that I always strive to develop in all of my lessons.I am currently giving (or have given) English, Science and Maths tuition to several students ranging from P1 to P6. My students have experienced improvements in their grades and connected well with me on a teacher-student level. I have also received positive feedback from parents too.

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.

I largely believe that education comes in the quality of time spent, not quantity. Thus, as the student’s ability progresses, so should the difficulty of the questions he faces, to continually provide a challenge while reinforcing preexisting concepts to strengthen the student’s capabilities, allowing him to face questions intuitively. Revision will focus less on doing newquestions, while revisiting past mistakes to Ensure they are not repeated shall Ben emphasised. As the student learns, the teacher doesn’t as well, adapting to the needs of the student while increasing one’s own depth of knowledge.My specialty is Physics - I have ranked among the top 10 in Physics in Hwa Chong Institution (JC Section)I was also consistently in the 90th percentile and above for GP during my days as a student.

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.

SINGAPORE MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY

Hello! I am a current undergraduate at Singapore Management University studying at the School of Accountancy. I started part-time tutoring 2 years ago, specialising in GP/English language and humanities subjects like geography, Social studies and history at secondary level. At JC level, I tutor Geography, English Literature and GP. Tutoring my students has been an eye-opener for me- any tutor would agree that we learn from our students just as much as they learn from us. I have seen consistent improvements in their respective subjects and it has been ultimately mutually rewarding. It is meaningful and enriching to impart knowledge to those younger than i am. I believe there is merit in my being an undergraduate and still a current student as i have only recently gone through the past years of my formal education and know what is required, not only academically, but can advise them on exam skills and preparation tips. I am confident in tutoring subjects i have gotten an A in the National A level examinations, namely English literature and Geography, both at H2 level. Apart from academic achievements, I was an orientation group leader and a member of the cheerleading and modern dance team. I have certificates up till grade 5 ballet from the Royal ballet Academy and Grade 3 in modern jazz from CSTD. My aim is to provide affordable and enriching tuition for prospective students, lets work together to improve!

I can relate to students well, and having similar experiences with them have helped many times in improving their morale. Having been in a rigourous schooling system such as Raffles JC and Raffles Secondary School, I did well in Arts especially in English, Literature and History. I have participated in many prestigious competitions and gleaned many awards: I acheieved Bronze for Commonwealth Essay Writing, got into the Global rounds in Yale for WSC (World Scholars' Cup) for two years running, and won 1st runners up in the National Environmental Quiz etc.
