Accepted another tuition assignment referred by a friend. As it is the exam crunch, I ‘show hand’ed some of manipulatives and did a recap of key topics. He has a good learning attitude and it makes learning more enjoyable for him. Making lessons fun allow students to absorb information and motivated to want to know… Continue reading New student, good learning attitude

Thankful for feedback.
Thankful that parents appreciate the effort I put in. Simple words. Tugs at my heartstrings.
Busy… like daddy
Inspired by what the dad always does at home, the boys naturally mimick their father’s actions, small one included. Learning starts young.
Kai’s photog skills
He was supposed to say ‘123’ before snapping, but I would say he did a great job taking a picture of me and his little brother. We had fun cafe hopping and ended the day with a bowl of bingsu.
Recap of Magnets
He had a loooong day in school, so I did a quick recap for him first, so that he’s not so ‘dead’ when doing his English paper. Children love hands on and he had a ‘magnet-ficient’ time playing with my manipulatives. Of course, at the end of it, I made him do a concept map… Continue reading Recap of Magnets
Cells & Microscope

In fact, I only have English class with her, as I’m full at the moment to carve out another lesson with her. Accommodated her request and did a 30 min… Continue reading Cells & Microscope
He Is Risen, indeed!
4yo son attempted to write this today. I was surprised he remembered his Sunday class lesson. But then again, why would I feel surprised? Boy is getting older, he is able to express better and I should celebrate! Celebrate my son’s gaining independence, but the most important celebration is at the Cross! Death has no… Continue reading He Is Risen, indeed!
Electricity
My p6 boy had an electrifying time tinkering around with the manipulatives that I’ve bought. Again, needless to say when it’s the ‘time’ of the lesson again, he’ll spring out of his chair! Science is fun!
Better than me
This lovely boy did what I could not do, ie fix gadgets. I am obviously not a ‘read manual’ kind of person. I loathe reading instruction manual, so I’m very glad I passed the buck to my student. He’s p5, a little dyslexic (don’t really like to label children) and he’s very keen to help… Continue reading Better than me
