Experience
Full time tutor for over 10 years
Result: Students enjoyed general improvement by one to two grades, some more.
I specialize in JC General Paper. I also handled English Language and Language Art for IP, Express and Normal stream at Secondary level, English Literature at Secondary level, social studies at Secondary level.
My Students profile: For the IP program, I had students from Nanyang JC, Raffles girls, Hwa Chong, Anglo-Chinese, Victoria. Presently, I have a total of 18 students, comprising 2 students from IPs (Secondary 3), 9 students from JCs and the remainder from Upper Secondary Express stream. (Some of them are in groups of 3 to 4 students per class.)
Curriculum Outline: For composition, I focus on argumentative and informative essays, improvement in general knowledge and Singapore issues. For comprehension, I focus on summary and structured questions.
I also incorporate English Language Art such as literary devices such as metaphors, personifications, settings, mood, tone, etc. in my lessons.
I also handled IP Literature such as Poetry practical criticisms and read Merchant of Venice, Othello, Romeo and Juliet and so on.
Methodology: For English and General Paper, I first carry out an initial assessment of the student on different grammatical components of English. Once the weaker areas are identified, we shall custom-design the course plan and agree to a full year course plan. After that, students and I will start working on student’s weaker areas. We will review student’s performance and progress on a monthly basis.
