Experience and Dedication: With four years of freelance experience teaching languages, I design structured yet engaging lessons that lead to measurable progress. Students often show improvement within one month; one achieved a jump from C- to A2 in two months with weekly sessions.

Experience and Dedication: Student attained AL2 for PSLE English and got admitted into Dunman High School. Currently teaching a sec 1 and a P5 student English.
I customise lessons for all my students to target and focus on their weaknesses and preferences, focusing on learning progression to gear students towards what the exam requires. My lessons are gradual and progressive, making learning English fun for students instead of stressful.
Experience and Dedication: I am currently tutoring secondary school students from China in English, Math & Science. They are quite weak with their conversational English and foundation, so we focus more on oral practice, editing and grammar practices. I am also writing notes for a tuition centre for Sec 3/4, so I am quite familiar with the syllabus. For subjects like Math & Science, the focus of my tutoring will be going through assignments completed by the student as homework. From there, I will be able to identify the student's weaknesses and provide additional resources to allow the student to receive more practice. For subjects like English, we will focus on the elements of English that the student is more weak at (comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, oral, composition writing). For all subjects, I believe that receiving feedback is the most important in order for the student to correct themselves accordingly and improve. Hence, I will be assigning homework & marking it regularly.
Experience and Dedication: I have taught in all levels and interacted with both local and international students. I believe in providing scaffolding for students to engage in self-discovery learning and also expose them to multiple world views through a discursive approach to conducting lessons.
