Thinking of investing in your child or yourself? Invest in EDUCATION because the knowledge, skills and techniques which can be acquired WILL ONLY APPRECIATE your/your child's market value and widen your/his job prospects in the labour market over time to secure a good job or even to start up an entrepreneurial business. The NEXT MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE you have to make to secure your/your child's chance of success in the future is to make sure you get the RIGHT TEACHER. There are lots of teachers in SIngapore but NOT everyone has the aptitude, attitude, talent and intellect to be an INSPIRING teacher so do choose wisely. If you are looking for a highly qualified, educated, experienced and eloquent teacher who can offer quality teaching and role-modeling and is worth your investment, you may want to read more about me and decide if you would like to engage in an in-depth discussion about you or your child's educational needs.
I am a highly qualified, experienced and reliable former school teacher who possess extensive experience preparing primary, secondary and junior college students for school, PSLE, ‘O’ / ‘N’ / ‘A’ levels exams. I have previously taught and am currently teaching students of various academic background from neighbourhood to renowned schools like Rosyth Primary, Nan Hua Primary, Nanyang Girs', CHIJ St Nicholas Girls', Catholic High, NUS High, Anderson Junior College and Raffles Junior College who achieved distinctions. An abundance of factors constitute your child’s academic underachievement, stagnance, lack of focus and interest.
Through my diagnostic assessment, I can accurately and effectively identify the imminent obstacles which are hindering your child from capitalizing and unleashing his full learning potential and further develop a uniquely customized curriculum to suit his learning needs. My specialised and creative teaching style, pedagogy and methodology are skills-focused, techniques-based and learner-centered, totally different from that of conventional tuition teachers. I believe my years of experience in working with young children to adolescents will enable me to communicate effectively and establish an excellent rapport with your child.
Effectively bilingual in English and Chinese, I am also reasonably proficient in Indonesian and Malay language, as well as possess research knowledge of other European and Asian languages. I have previously provided private lessons for international students from China and Indonesia using their language medium and able to assist in interpretation and translation for English as Second Language learning. In Singapore, our Senior Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kuan Yew is one exemplary and successful testimony to bilingual teaching. Mr Lee ONLY LEARNS from EFFECTIVELY BILINGUAL TEACHERS who can use English and Mandarin simultaneously with complete ease to teach him the Chinese language and its oratorical form, the spoken Mandarin. The amazing thing is that he started learning Chinese at the age of 32 yet he's so successful with languages now! You can well imagine the POWER OF BILINGUAL TEACHING! What's more the potential benefits which you or your young child can start reaping now if you get a bilingual teacher just like Mr Lee! Recognise the many benefits which a teacher who is bilingual and multilingual can bring to you or your child!
With many students whom I have worked with (after they have been performing badly with their previous tutors), I notice that many parents had unknowingly and sadly jeopardized their children’s learning and even future opportunities by choosing private tutors who offer competitively yet ridiculously low rates, only to moan and sigh regretfully over their initial oversight when they realized that their children have not improved at all. What proves the most detrimental and destructive to the children’s learning is really the fact that they are taught erroneously under tutors who have absolutely no idea of the proper MOE syllabus and school curriculum, resulting in them having to first unlearn the wrong concepts then struggle to relearn the correct concepts again. I peg my specialized and customized coaching rate according to the quality of expertise and experience I possess and in turn use them to guide your child to inquiry-based academic excellence and holistic development. You will observe and spot significant improvement and derive satisfaction and delight in seeing your child becoming more confident and academically competent in the long run for your current investment.
