Teaching Methodology: I delight in the discovery of new knowledge and its subsequent applications in the engineering field. Growing up with a strongly inquisitive mind about the field of physics, I actively seek to pass on this knowledge and the passion to my students. Today, as an active professional in the engineering services sector, I could relate to the lessons learnt back in secondary school. The concepts that lie behind the engineering applications and problem solving remain unchanged. However, the student environment today is mostly unable to reconcile the application of the knowledge attained in school to the uses in the real working world. As a tutor, I spare no chances to share these valuable experiences, to the extent I would use real life examples back into creating syllabus related questions to invoke the thinking of my students.

Teaching Methodology: 冯晓兰，自1989年起在中国湖北省武汉市担任中学老师，历任初一到高三各年级华文和哲学、政治经济学课教学，至今已有二十五年教学经验。2003年来到新加坡，先后在爱的伯乐华语言学校和汉语文中心担任华语老师。也去过二十多所新加坡中小学教授有关华语以及与中华传统文化有关的课程。在多年的教学实践中，逐渐积累了一些经验和感受，主要有以下几点：1、在教学中注意与学生建立良好的关系，让学生对华语产生兴趣，克服恐惧、抵触华语的心理，同时加强基础字词的学习，有助于学生提高华语水平。2、鼓励和教导学生积极主动地阅读，在阅读过程中养成查字典的好习惯，自己解决生字词，提高阅读的效率。3、在讲解文章或回答学生的问题时注重语言的表现力，把书面语言、谚语、俗语用准确、通俗、形象的语言讲给学生听，浅白易懂而又生动具体，学生才会容易吸收。4、作文教学中，注意引导学生融入情境，展开想像，用文字表现出人物的心理状态以及语言动作表情等等，写出完整连贯的故事。5、因材施教是教学中的一个重要的原则，老师要了解学生的华文程度和学习习惯，找出学生在学习中存在的问题，对症下药，才会取得较好的教学效果。

Teaching Methodology: Trivia is an active advocate of learning for life, Trivia believes that education shouldn't just be for education sake. It should prepare students for a future of learning and a lifetime of knowledge. That is why the basics matter and tuition provides a helping hand in guiding the students to the path to successful learning. Having 3 years prior experience in private tutoring, she tutors secondary level Maths and Science at Happy Tutors LC. Her methodology involves simplification of concepts, repetitive revision of essential points and occasional bite sized trivial. Past students of hers were imbued with a sense of responsibility for their own learning, and saw marked improvements in their school grades. More importantly, they enjoyed the overall learning process. For a good solid foundation in secondary school, she's the tutor for you.

Specialise in: Upper Secondary Mathematics
Teaching Methodology: I am passionate about teaching Mathematics from Primary to JC levels, and have been giving tuition since 2011. Solving Mathematics problems involve logical thinking skills, which I try to impart to students. I believe that understanding the concepts thoroughly helps students to remember the topics more easily. Furthermore, understanding each concept allows them to see the link or application between two topics if they are related. Generally, I teach by examples, as they tend to give a fuller picture of the topic. Also, applications of concepts are illustrated in examples. To ensure they understand the concepts, they’re given different types of questions to practice on. Through explanation of the ideas behind each question, I teach them to identify the methods used to solve each type of problem. This is important, especially when questions appear similar but actually involve different concepts, and hence require different methods to solve.

Teaching Methodology: The methodology of CELTA is student-centered learning. It motivates students to want to learn on their own. Instructions are short, clear and concise and materials are planned to encourage discovery by the students. The students are given the autonomy to find things out on their own and this provides them with the motivation to learn. We as teachers play the role of facilitator and clarify any errors which the students might make. The classes are conducted in a "safe environment", where the students are not questioned immediately after a task but are encouraged to check with their partners in class before the teacher checks the answer with the class. I taught pre-intermediate and upper intermediate classes. There were lots of research involved in the preparation of lessons. There were also assignments which encompass all the teaching techniques learnt during the course. Tutorials and regular feedbacks also improved the delivery and execution of my lessons. I paced my lessons according to the tutees’ capabilities so that they are encouraged to use the language on their own.

Specialise in: JC Physics
Teaching Methodology: I am a connoisseur of the arts with a knack for the sciences. My goal is to enable students to understand Physics as more than just a set of formulas, but as a complex and abstract entity that constantly challenges the boundaries of human knowledge. A strong foundation is key for any concept heavy subject and by delivering just that, I enable my tutees to think independently and successfully tackle the most challenging of questions. My teaching methods vary depending on the needs and pace of each individual student and by simplifying complicated concepts, imparting examination skills and revealing tips and tricks, I seek to provide students with a solid foundation that will see them through any test or examination. Also, I like keeping fish and drawing,

Teaching Methodology: Primary school mathematics may be intimidating to most children but with the right help given, every child can excel in maths! My responsibility is to assist them in understanding the questions and teaching them the different techniques to solve each question. Every maths question can be solved in a systematic way. I am sure with my help and their hard work, every child will be able to maneuver through all the different 'system' and improve by leaps and bounds!

Teaching Methodology: I have 6-7 years of experience in private one-on-one tutoring and teaching primary and secondary level, and Adult, English. I am also a creative writer and freelance article writer. My focus in tutoring is encouraging students to understand how English, as a language, can be used in daily life and to enable them to express themselves via verbal and written mediums effectively. Creativity is ALWAYS encouraged. I believe that each student learns differently so the method I use varies and is customized in accordance to what is needed. I am also a firm believer that there is no such thing as a stupid question, only inappropriate ones. My lessons are on a ground-level two-way basis as I am a firm believer that life is an ever-growing and ever-learning process, I am always in the process of learning, upgrading and improving myself and my teaching methods. Student feedback is ALWAYS welcome and encouraged.
