Experience
Hi parents and students! Here are some details about myself to help you decide if I will be a good fit for you.
My teaching philosophy is always to be patient and understanding. I have taught students in my previous school, and helped those who were struggling to improve their grades in mathematics and science quickly. Be it teaching tricky topics like algebra, calculus, or thermodynamics, I always seek to discover common misconceptions that students, before explain to them the concepts and answers in a way that is intuitive. My teaching experiences have all been voluntary thus far, but it has given me much experiences on how to explain the subjects clearly. NUS High is a school that specialises in mathematics and sciences, and through the years of rigorous studies, I have picked up the nooks and crannies of the difficult problems that examiners can throw at you, and I have learnt how to teach students to solve them by themselves. I believe in helping the students achieve confidence in their own problem solving skills instead of blindly memorising equations because that is true learning and it obtains results.
For new topics, I will go through them with you prior to your school lectures, such that you will have an easy time in school. We will then go through practice papers that cover all the different types of question they can test you, and we will do so efficiently. I will provide the resources for you to learn and practice. Most importantly, I will seek to clarify any questions you have on the spot - and if I am not 100% certain about something, I will do my research and get back to you before the next lesson.
I am currently enrolled in NUS College of Humanities and Science with a merit scholarship, matriculating in 2025. Below are my results back in high school for my majors in Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Chemistry, as well as my honours in Physics. The grading system is continuous from year 3 (sec 3 equivalent) to year 6 (J2 equivalent), which meant my results are consistent across all depths of the subjects. Whether you are looking to start building a solid foundation for your mathematics or sciences after a bit of a hiatus in lower secondary / J1, or further improve to clinch the A1s and As, I will be able to help you achieve your goals effectively.
