Experience
I am currently a Year 2 student at NTU Singapore studying Bioengineering, with 3 years of tutoring experience. I am currently teaching many students, and my focus is on delivering results-driven education. I have successfully run a tuition startup, thought over 70 lessons, and consistently helped students achieve significant academic improvements. For example, I have guided students who were stuck at B3 to reach A1 grades within a semester, and even helped a Secondary 2 student improve from C6 to A1.
My teaching methodology specializes in technology-based learning and inquiry-based learning, making education interactive and engaging for students. I also incorporate traditional methods such as lecture-based teaching when necessary. My approach not only helps students improve their grades but also fosters a genuine interest in learning. Many of my students have shared that they now enjoy studying independently because I make learning fun and relatable.
In addition to primary and secondary level tutoring, I bring a solid academic background in cognitive learning science from my research at NTU MERSU and NTU Cognitive Research Center (NTU CLIC). This allows me to tailor my teaching methods to suit each student’s learning style, ensuring they not only understand the material but can apply it effectively in their exams and beyond. By choosing me as a tutor, parents can expect a dedicated and kind educator who is committed to their child's academic success and personal growth.
