Currently, I am a Year 3 Medical student studying at Monash University Malaysia. Due to the nature of the Medicine course, I possess advanced knowledge in Science, especially in Biology. Despite my current studies being specialized in Medicine, I would regard myself to be knowledgeable in core subjects that are under SPM. My Pre-University Academic achievements are as follows: A levels 4A* in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Psychology and SPM: 9A+ and 2A (core subjects from the Science side with additional subjects of Bible Knowledge and Prinsip Perakaunan). In support of my application as a qualified Tutor, I have had a few opportunities to teach as well. In Year 2 of my current Degree, I was a Tutor among 23 selected few in the Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) Programme that my school introduced. This Programme was introduced to Tutor and aid our Year 1 juniors academically as Year 1 can be a challenging transitional phase in terms of Academic expectations and stress. In these sessions, it is required of me to explain to my teaching group, complex pieces of information in a simplified and digestible manner. This year-long experience allowed me to further articulate my understanding of the related topics well, and it is due to this role as a PASS leader, that I am confident in my ability to become a tutor. Other than my responsibilities as a PASS Tutor, I have also undertaken various mini and informal tutoring sessions when I was waiting for my A-level results. Of course, my primary aim is to earn a side income whilst pursuing my studies. Nonetheless, I am motivated because teaching is one of the few channels that allows me to derive a sense of fulfilment and joy in helping someone. And one of the few ways I can actually contribute is to share the academic knowledge that I have established throughout these years.

First of all, it would be beneficial if I could determine my student's current Academic standards and their goals, specifically how much they would want to score for their next exam and how much time is given. From there, I would individualize my tutoring methods and provide a tentative plan on what should be covered throughout the whole teaching period to suit their goals. This way, my students would know what to expect and would be able to prepare themselves accordingly. Not only that, I would also include exercises during the class to further enhance their understanding after explaining the concept to them. Homework may also be given depending on their goals and how much they would like to achieve in the given amount of time. As a Tutor who is fluent in both English and Mandarin, I would also be able to explain in different languages if there is a need to. I would also like to pique my students' interest by painting them the larger picture of their studies. As a student myself, I always find it easier to understand and memorize concepts when they are applied to the real world or when they are linked to my interests, which is what I would also like to do for my students and their interests. This way, they are able to memorize things not because they have to but because they understand how it works, which would all be retained in long-term memory instead of short-term memory.
