Teaching Style:
==========
For 1-to-1 tuition I recommend to the parents the assessment books to purchase, and I also provide free past year papers from other schools. For Science I also conduct experiments for my students to have a hands-on experience to enhance learning. I try to engage the students in the learning process and also motivate them to do their best and keep on improving.
Personal Qualities:
============
I am patient, meticulous and have a positive disposition, and I have a good rapport with my students and can engage them in their learning, often receiving good feedback and testimonials from their parents and them.
