Experience
Over the past few years, I have experience teaching Primary, Secondary and Junior College students. Currently, I am teaching H2 Math to a student from VJC. I had taught A level Maths, Upper Secondary Chemistry and Math, Lower Secondary Math and Science and PSLE Math and Science. My students came from different backgrounds and schools including Temasek Secondary, Xinmin Secondary, CHIJ OLN and many more. One of my O level students improved from a failing grade to a B3 in O level for Chemistry within a few months of lessons. As a student not too long ago, I fully understand the struggles and will be able to patiently guide them toward their goals. It is essential to provide the student with good support for them to excel but it is even more important to prepare the student mentally for national exams. This is because more often than not, despite studying hard, a student tends to underperform when facing extreme stress. Hence, I hope to be a tutor that can provide excellent academic support for the student, and help the student to feel more ready to tackle their exams. The student may message outside tutoring hours if he or she has any questions about the subject.

Upper Secondary Chemistry from Temasek Secondary
