Experience
I am currently teaching English at a centre at Bedok North, it is my second year there. Most of my students are from the neighbourhood, and do not speak English at home, hence they are quite weak in English, with an exception of a few students, who would get a B grade in school.
Last year I took sec 4 and Sec 1, and lower primary classes. This year, I take only secondary students, from sec 1 to 4. Almost all my sec 2 students followed me from sec 1, some have showed improvement, 1 of the girls, after a few months in my class last year said she passed her English exams for the first time, hence, she would follow me to sec 2.
I prefer teaching secondary school students, as I can relate to them well. At the end of the day, when students improve, I feel that besides the tutor, it is also the student who has to have the willingness to put in the effort.
