Tutor's Experience

I graduated from NTU WKW, one of the top 5 communications programs in the world, where I trained in journalism and research. I have also been a writer for Skyscanner, and attended law school previously. In Hwachong, I was the top 10% of the cohort in GP and had my essays published as model answers. My last GP student went from a U to B at A levels. Some of my other students improved from fail to B (IP English), B to talent programme (IP Literature), fail to B3 (O level English). I am also experienced in teaching international students from China learning English as a second language, as well as students on the autism spectrum. My method of teaching is to equip students with the skills for them to learn independently. Instead of spoon-feeding, I will give hints and ask leading questions, because I want my students to go through the process of critical thinking and arrive at conclusions on their own. To get the most out of engaging me as a tutor, students should read articles I send them and be ready to discuss during lesson time. My students must also be willing to work consistently, and not be afraid to try. Students should also keep a journal (electronic or hard copy) of mistakes they have made, for me to periodically refer to and test them on. I generally assign minimal or even zero homework, unless parents request for more.
