Experience
I have passion in the primary school syllabus and I enjoy teaching it. I always try my best to make sure that my students improve in their subjects & grades; it's my responsibility & desire to help them to improve as much as they can. The ultimate aim is to get A or A star in PSLE. When they have reached that standard before PSLE, my aim is to maintain it. I have some photos (I have lost some when my handphone got spoilt) of my students' exam marks and I will attach what I have to this email, together with my certificates.
Before the student's examinations, the student will do and I will go through exam papers from other schools with the student.
I have some of my own tuition materials too. For English: 1) English Grammar notes(the harder and/or tricky ones) 2) Spelling rules & lists 3) Commonly Misspelt Words(for the different primary school levels) 4) Vocabulary learning guides 5) Sentence Synthesis notes
For Maths, I have my own problem sums' strategy guide which I have typed out on my own some of the different strategies/formats of solving the different kinds of problem sums and have found many examples of questions from PSLE papers & various schools' exam papers for each of these strategies/formats.
On top of that, I always make sure that they know the basics of each chapter and learn how to do all the different kinds of short answer questions for each chp, especially for the weaker students. From there, we will go onto problem sums and try to do as many different kinds of problem sums as possible for each chapter, focusing also on the different strategies/format of answering questions in my strategy guide.
For Science, I have also compiled most of the key-words for most of the Science chapters and also compiled some harder/trickier concepts for some chapters. The technique in answering the open-ended questions is important - answers must include key-words, and key-concepts too when needed, and the process of answering the question has to flow and include all points of the required answer, and making sure that the last point(or one of the points) has answered the question directly too. In this way, the full marks of the question can be obtained. I also know the various good guide books & good assessment books.
I usually give free extra time to my lessons, if I don't have to rush off for the next student. Whenever examinations are coming soon, I usually extend my lessons up to 3 hours(free extension time), if the student is up to it.
