Tutoring Methods / Style
Two-sided communication is used. I will explain the topics before allowing the students to work on their worksheet. During the discussion, students are required to share their thoughts and ideas about the topics. With that, I will be able to test their understanding level. For weaker students, I will apply the repetition technique by repeating the previous lesson in order to enhance their memory, which can boost their confidence level as well.
For subjects such as English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin (writing part). I will state some ideas or points that allow the students to brainstorm or try out the worksheets on their own within a time frame. Then I will move on to the discussion. I will rectify their mistakes and provide a sample answer in order to boost their writing skills.
In subjects such as mathematics, I will explain the methods and provide guidance before moving on to the worksheets. Practise makes perfect, especially in a subject like math, so students are required to complete the worksheets given. Students are allowed to contact me if they encounter any math questions. But I always encourage my students to give it a try before seeking advice.
In subjects such as science and geography, I will try my best to make them more interesting by creating stories or providing real-life examples to the students so they can get a better picture of them.

Tutoring Milestones
- The student, who was getting an E, managed to get a B in Math after one-on-one home tuition with me. Before tuition, he wasn't able to cope in class as his mathematical foundation was not as strong, which made him not feel like studying. So during my first few classes with him, I tried my best to find out the reasons behind it and encourage him from time to time. After half a year, he started to gain confidence, and eventually his results improved.
