Experience
I was teaching in Nan Chiau primary school in Singapore for PSLE classes. I am familiar with the exam format, grading system/standards and exam contents/question selections.
I specialise in helping students come to grips with rhetoric and structuring their knowledge in order to present coherent and convincing arguments on a variety of subjects. In the last 18 years alone, I have helped a number of students jump 3 grades from their starting point to their PSLE,O-Level,A-Level results.
My strength is my ability to understand my students and adapt to their needs. I use a student-centric approach in my teaching, listening to then capitalising on students' own hobbies and passions to illustrate rhetorical principles, thereby enabling helping them internalise concepts. Only when students have understood the fundamentals and gained the confidence to apply them do I diversify into deeper and broader discussions of mainstream social issues. I always aim to produce a positive impact on the students under my instruction and care, preparing them not just for their exams but for life as well.
I have taught numerous secondary school students, including those from schools such as Catholic High School, St. Joseph's Institution, Anglo-Chinese School, Methodist Girls' School, Chung Cheng High School, SengKang Secondary School, Zhong Hua Seccodary School, Edgefield Secondary school
and Hwa Chong Institution. They have achieved excellent academic results. Last year, my students performed well in both O-Level Chinese and Higher Chinese, with some attaining grades A1 and A2.
