Experience
I am an undergraduate studying Chemical Engineering at NUS:) I have always loved teaching as it gives me a sense of achievement whenever I see my students/peers being able to understand what I say and apply it in their academics. I have been teaching part-time since Aug 2022 and it has certainly broadened my skillset as a tutor and made me grow as an individual as well!
Teaching Experiences:
Subjects taught: Math (Primary and Secondary E/A Math), Primary Science (Relief), Chinese, and Secondary Pure Physics and Chemistry (Relief),
I have a relief experience with a Primary 4 male who was really weak in analyzing and understanding questions. And through the videos and photos that I have sourced online to enhance his knowledge, he could take note of the summary points that I had given in that lesson and remember them really well. After subsequent lessons, I could see an overall improvement in his attitude toward the class and his answers becoming more well-thought.
Currently, I am teaching two Sec 2 Male and one Sec 1 Male for Math. Before they were handed over by their previous teacher, they were lacking in basics and answering questions without clear thoughts. After giving them tuition, they are currently ahead of topics that were taught in class and now doing past year mid-term papers. I could see an overall improvement in their knowledge while having room for improvement in analyzing questions before answering them.
In secondary school, I have also tutored classmates and friends in E & A Maths (they got an average of a B3 and above in OLevels from a C5)
In poly, I was the Music Director of NP's Klavierensemble (Piano Club) in my last year of study. As a Music Director, I held online theory group classes for 8 students who didn't had any music background (Grades 1-3), provided class tests, prepared lesson materials and had 1-1 practical coaching with my fellow CCA mates. According to the mock tests that I had given them, all of them passed and 90% got a Distinction for Grade 1, and passed Grade 2 with two-third of them scoring Distinction. Some of my peers that I have coached also got selected by the Instructor to perform for our yearly internal concert in NP:)
Teaching modes:
Applying common situations for explanation and short tactics that are easy to understand.
Using videos and photos to enhance knowledge
Explaining complex concepts using things in real life
Providing a mini-test to test the overall standards, then tackling unsure topics using topical worksheets
