Experience
Current MOE teacher in Anderson sec school teaching Maths. Previous year I also taught Physics to upper secondary classes
CS1 math and CS2 physics. 4 years sch teaching exp. 7 years tutoring exp.
I have 7 years experience in tutoring sec3 and sec 4 in E/A Math, Physics, Chemistry and lower sec maths/ sci. Currently tutoring students Sec 1,2,3 and 4 in E/A maths, Physics, Chemistry, JC H2 physics, H2 maths. I have tutored students for IB physics/ maths/ HL maths, IGCSE maths and chemistry, primary maths and science previously.
Past students have include students from various neighboring schools, RVH, RI, RJC, CJC, YJC, crescent girls, st marg. student include those from express and NA level as well. I am able to modify teaching methods to suit the profile of the students.
I do not encourage memorisation. Instead I would rather the student understand the fundamental concepts of the theory (for sciences and even mathematics) so that they understand the workings that they perform. I often do this by leading the student through the problem solving process by questioning and giving parallel analogies. I am committed at ensuring that the students understand what they learn and am strict during lessons. I sometimes allow the students to complete questions wrongly first to gauge where their misconception lies so that I could highlight their mistakes (In turn they are aware of the possibilities of such mistakes) and this also help me to identify where exactly the student might not have fully understand the concepts and address the issue accordingly. Understanding links between the different chapters and concepts will allow students to better remember the concepts.
Secondary level: 5 years tutoring Sec 1-4 level in maths, Science, Physics, Chemistry, E/A maths.
IP level: JC1 IP students from RVHS and RI.
JC level: Tutored JC H2 maths and physics for 2 years.
IB/IGCSE level: SL and HL maths for UWC student, IB Physics from ACSi, and IGCSE Chem and Maths for another private student.
