Experience
I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and have more than 10 years of experience in education, training and individualised student support.
I am currently teaching Chinese to primary and secondary school students in Singapore, including both 1-to-1 and small-group lessons. My main teaching focus is Primary 1–5 Chinese, covering Chinese character recognition, pronunciation, vocabulary understanding and application, sentence construction, reading comprehension, oral communication, composition and examination answering techniques. I also teach three Chinese cultural/literacy enrichment classes every Wednesday at Mee Toh School
I currently teach P2–P4 Chinese, including Higher Chinese. My students include pupils from CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School and Maha Bodhi School.
My teaching approach is highly structured. For reading comprehension, I guide students through a step-by-step process: understand the question → locate the relevant part of the passage → identify key answer points → organise a complete answer. For oral and composition work, I use similar structured frameworks to help students express themselves clearly and independently.
I place particular emphasis on strengthening weak foundations. I use error classification, correction records and spaced revision to help students remember commonly confused characters, vocabulary and question types. I have experience supporting students with weak Chinese foundations, learning difficulties, short attention spans, ADHD and ASD-related learning needs, and I adjust lesson pace and task length according to each student’s concentration level and learning style.
I also have a medical background with professional experience in a tertiary hospital. This has strengthened my observation, patience, responsibility and ability to understand individual differences in children. In addition, my years of business management, team leadership and staff training experience have developed strong communication, analytical and organisational skills, which I apply to lesson planning and student development.
One of my long-term 1-to-1 tutoring experiences involved supporting a student with significant learning difficulties and weak academic foundations. Through structured, personalised guidance and confidence rebuilding, the student gradually improved and was eventually admitted to the National University of Singapore (NUS).
My teaching philosophy is simple: first identify why a student cannot do something, then give the student a clear method that allows him or her to do it independently.
I am patient, responsible, stable and able to commit to long-term weekly lessons.
