Experience and Dedication: Please request for thoroughly compiled parents' testimonials as proof of teaching experience and expertise to address/allay any of your doubts/fears/queries/concerns towards engaging a responsible tutor with effective teaching methods that are results/grades oriented, but also character-development centric and driven. I am a graduate full time tutor of 4 years teaching experience, specializing in upper pri/sec school students. Able to engage kids of varied learning styles (ADHD/dyslexic learners requiring alternative teaching methods to keep them captivated) with learning aids. Helped ALL my pupils improve in the subjects/areas engaged for, delivering results parents are happy with (e.g helped kids who have been failing to pass in 1-2 months upon first instance of engagement & likewise for those who wish to attain mastery ('A'/'Band 1') in the subject they're being tutored in. P6 Maths failing since P5, engaged on 26 Jun 21, got 60% for timed practice to 67.5% for prelims to B for PSLE. P6 Science from 32% for timed practice to 46% for prelims to C for prelims. P6 Science engaged on 7 Jul 21, from 88% for timed practice to 96% for prelims to A* for PSLE. P6 Maths from 92% for timed practice to 96% for prelims to A* for PSLE. P6 English from 47% in SA1 to 67% in prelims, P6 Maths from failing to doubling marks. Equipped with resources aplenty to assist pupils in learning. Very familiar with current grading system in schools and PSLE. I am a resolute believer in building relationships with primary school children before dispensing the professional duties of a teacher. I fully trust in the element of personal connection and touch with students as an effective gateway for both them and yourself - a teacher, mentor, and coach - to receive and impart knowledge meaningfully. Passionate and sincere about my job as I firmly believe in the potentially vast extent of influence a teacher has on her kids, being responsible for their holistic development as an individual of character and with respectable values as a person, not just being solely accomplished in their academics. I prize the growth of my child's character and the blossoming of his own identity/personality before his grades (e.g. I often help to build and bolster their confidence in their weak subjects first, rather than simply having them do questions after questions in a mundane, and often meaningless, manner). Only when he has regained his self-confidence would I move into honing his technical skills of interpreting and answering questions. Nonetheless, I also observe the professionalism and technical competencies expected/demanded of a teacher and would hence not shortchange them of any opportunities for learning or neglect their areas of weakness in the subjects they are being tutored in. Equipped with a wide range of resources (from elementary questions to challenging ones), hence well suited to meet the needs of students with different academic performance capabilities. Has vast exposure to pupils with varied preferred methods of study, with consequential experience in crafting individualized styles (for visual, auditory, kinesthetic learners etc). Able to engage kids / pupils of different learning styles to keep them captivated. Emphasizes making learning an enjoyably comfortable, non-dreadful process as students will definitely retain concepts much better, rather than learning in a mundane (conventional) environment. Quality of lesson delivery, while, will not be compromised. Takes time and is very patient in correcting any misconception in pupil's understanding before teaching any new concepts. This will prevent unnecessary trouble and wastage of precious time in fixing any erroneous thinking in future. Innovates/Modifies teaching to accommodate student's speed and ease at picking up new concepts eg coming up with own/consolidating FAQs across primary school exam papers. Has also dealt with a few pupils with behavioural impairments that might make "conventional" learning difficult / unsuitable for them. My response would be to tailor the lesson and materials to suit and compliment the students' preferences and needs instead, rather than simply force "route" learning upon them (when they are already struggling academically). Also, I am a firm believer of a strong teacher-pupil relationship as kids would be more receptive to a teacher who is both a friend and a mentor, someone they can look up to and/or even confide in. Passionate and able to help students perform better in their academics by forging a lasting teacher-pupil relationship with them. Drawing from my own past and personal experience as one, and from the feedback of my ex-pupils, students would feel more comfortable and hence encouraged to seek help in their studies when the environment is a conducive, stress-free and motivational one for learning. Rest assured I will still maintain my professionalism as a teacher throughout. I am also very open to feedback / comments from parents and I will do my best to cater to their demands, in addition to their child's. Have helped all my kids improve in the subjects / areas they have engaged me in, and delivered results parents are satisfied with (I have helped kids who have been failing to pass in 2 months of tuition as a newly hired tutor (see progress reports below), and likewise for those who wish to attain mastery ('A'/'Band 1') in the subject they're being tutored in). Innovates and adapts teaching styles on a discretionary basis to suit each child's needs  Also equipped with resources aplenty to assist kids in their learning (i work with my mom who has 30 over years of tutoring experience in kindergarten and primary school, with the bulk of her expertise centered on the latter - we have a tuition room set apart in our house for her students). Currently 20 students on hand, largely P5 to Secondary levels. Also provide tutoring on specialised/targeted areas e.g Creative/Composition Writing which is what I am presently doing for one of my kids. Able to furnish more details on my teaching experience on request / if the parent is keen on engaging me.
