Experience and Dedication: Over 22 years of experience in the education centre with experience in PSLE marking, I am able to map strategies and pathways for students to learn efficiently and effectively. My students who sat for the recent 2025 PSLE scored well, with 1 even achieving AL5M.
Experience and Dedication: I've taught my neighbours and family friends in the area I stay at and now wish to expand to other students. Math and Physics are my chosen subjects to teach because they come easily to me and hence i can communicate them more effectively to those less knowledgeable than me.
Experience and Dedication: I have 2 years of experience teaching students, including 1 year of online lessons. I am experienced in connecting with students, providing them materials and ensuring that they have sufficient practice before their exams. I am able to provide material like lesson notes as well, and go through topics that they may be weaker in.
I have taught English under volunteering projects under my school's curriculum. I have also taught Sec 4 Comb Bio/Chem, Sec 3 Comb Bio/Chem and Sec 4 O Level Biology.
I achieved A in H2 Knowledge and Inquiry (Language and Philosophy), A in H2 Biology and A in H2 Chemistry and Pass in H3 Biology in A Levels (2022) at Hwa Chong Institution and am currently studying Medicine at NUS.
