Experience
6 years of teaching experience in the robotics enrichment industry related to STEM curriculum and LEGO Education; taught in various preschools and international schools such as Agape, Carpe Diem, Etonhouse, Swiss School and Middleton International School; class sizes vary from 6 to 20 students, taught N1 and N2 phonics lessons as part of the LEGO enrichment class.
1 year of teaching experience with Fei Yue as part of a co-curriculum activity in Polytechnic; provide weekly tuition for underprivileged students which includes homework revisions and mock exam paper exercises.
As an undergrad English major at NTU, I am highly proficient in spoken and written English which will provide effective and assuring progress during English tutoring sessions. Some of my main teaching styles for English tuition include extensive practices of MCQ that tackles grammar and vocabulary, deconstructing comprehension passages to enhance writing skills and stringent practice of speaking proper English to build an overall good command of English.
Moreover, I am well-versed in the latest MOE mathematics syllabus and strongly believe in developing a solid foundation of basic concepts before attempting critical thinking questions. Some of my teaching styles for mathematics tuition include revision of basic topical concepts, progressive exercises on challenging questions to cultivate problem-solving skills and clarifying complex concepts by depicting real-world scenarios with storytelling.
I have up to 1 year of teaching experience with nursery and kindergarten students. These include in-person classes and online classes. All materials will be provided but if parents are free to provide them too. For Phonics classes, I will plan lessons based on tutee’s proficiency level. Lessons Include learning the different sounds of phonics and reading words using phonics. For Reading classes, parents may or may not provide their choice of books. After reading, simple activities will be incorporated to test the student’s comprehension skills. For Mathematics classes, a lesson plan of math topics will be drafted and discussed with parents. Some teaching styles include the introduction of a myriad of strategies to tackle problem sums (especially number operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), interactive and activity-based lessons and the use of creative learning materials.
These teaching styles may or may not be adopted, depending on the tutee’s and/or parent’s needs. Overall, I am highly invested in the academic progress of my students without neglecting their well-being. I will incorporate certain motivators such as words of encouragement or rewards to boost confidence and instill perseverance in my tutees, in hopes of creating a productive and inspiring environment while imposing academic discipline.
