Experience
Over a span of 6 years, I taught at Red Swastika School, Eunos Primary School, and Changkat Primary School.
As a former MOE teacher, I’ve always made it my teaching maxim, “A day without learning is a day wasted.” Hence, in identifying a student’s learning needs is imperative in my tutoring approach. What ensues is I will impart to them the knowledge, techniques, skills and strategies needed to improve their English. Along the way, I will also inculcate in the students the values of respect, perseverance, responsibility, commitment, integrity and diligence.
Being a full-time tutor as a former MOE teacher, I've taught primary, secondary, and junior college English for over 20 years in various settings such as a public school, an established tuition centre (JustEdu Tuition Centre), the students' homes, and an online tutoring platform. In addition, I'm a former Reading Specialist with I Can Read and a published author of a children's storybook. By the way, I also hold a diploma in TESOL from London Teacher Training College and a certificate in Teaching IELTS Preparation.
Over a span of 20 years, I have taught an enormous number of students, and most of them have scored an A from C in the beginning or even an A*. The students' excellent improvement in their results could be attributed to their due diligence and conscientiousness, as well as the unflagging support of their parents in the learning journey. Most importantly, they readily applied the strategies, techniques and skills I had taught them in their exams.
To add to my credentials, I’ve been the former editor and writer of Kaki Bukit Community Centre’s newsletter with a posse of writers under my charge for several years on the volunteering front.
For the tutoring part, I do provide supplementary materials to students according to their learning needs discretionarily. Having said that, I believe the key factor in mastering English is helping students to see the elements of fun and joy in learning it.
