Teaching approach:
I specialise in Math and Science.
I will go through the basics and key concepts then, I will reinforce their understanding by attempting questions. Firstly, I will demonstrate using one type of question. Secondly, I will attempt a similar question with them. Lastly, I will let the student try on their own. Apart from assessment books, I will also use pyps nearing exams. I will also focus on heuristics solving skills (for Math) as it is essential to have a strong foundation and mindmapping/notetaking skills (for Science) as different students have different ways of absorbing content (esp for content heavy subjects like Science)
Currently have 10 p4-p6 math and science students, also have 2 years of experience teaching primary math and science at a tuition centre and assisted teachers at Nan Chiau Primary.
Results:
My geography students have improved in their answering techniques (graphs, figures, photos, essays) and they have also learnt how to take notes effectively and research on case studies for essay use.
My math students have improved in their section c (word problems), eg. they know what the question is asking for, they know what model to draw and how to draw the model etc.
My science students have improved in their critical thinking and answering techniques. They are also able to draw up mindmaps for their revision.
