I place strong emphasis on building rapport with my students, offering both academic guidance and moral support to keep them motivated and confident in their learning journey. By connecting lessons to students’ personal aspirations, I aim to spark genuine interest and encourage them to take ownership of their learning. I am meticulous in helping students not just understand content, but retain and apply it accurately and confidently. I believe in nurturing growth through positive reinforcement, using encouragement and consistent support to help students become more self-directed, resilient, and independent learners. I have over 3 years of experience providing one-to-one tuition for Primary and Secondary students across the MOE and IGCSE curricula, specializing in Mathematics and Science at the primary level, and Biology and Chemistry for upper secondary and IGCSE students. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and tailored to each student’s learning pace and needs. I create structured, engaging lessons using customized notes, worksheets, and exam-style practice papers to build both subject mastery and exam confidence. Students under my guidance have shown consistent improvement—many achieving at least a one-grade increase, including a Chemistry student who progressed from C5 to B3 within 1.5 months.
