Another proud moment for me. I would say the battle has already been won before the actual ‘war’ has taken place. My mission has been accomplished. It has always been my passion to instil love and interest in a subject to my students first, before actually expecting certain results from them. They need to understand… Continue reading Fruits Of Labour

Unexpected Gratitude
A hardworking boy who truly deserves the marks he has achieved. He’s a natural go-getter and strives to aim for the stars. Even if he misses the stars, he will aim for the moon. Aside academics, this teen is endearing too, a rare gem to teach and impart values. This message to me came as… Continue reading Unexpected Gratitude
It’s Been A Good Year
With a snap of fingers, a year had almost passed, just like that. This boy is endearing, as he struggled through the path trodden by my past p6 batches. The same stress, the same frustrations and the same reluctance to undergo the exam that must not be named. Imparting social values and life skills, apart… Continue reading It’s Been A Good Year
‘Selling’ Starts Young
Interesting conversation with a parent. My p4 girl is such a sweet sales girl. Her neighbour is looking for a Science tutor and she ‘highly recommended’ me. Such an honour! I hope I can keep up to her expectations.
Post Teacher’s Day
Boys are usually not the ‘writing cards’ kind, especially when they are in p6. So, to receive one from my p6 boy, it really tugs at my heartstrings. What catches my attention is not his appreciation of how great my teaching methods are(which are important of course), but how I made time to listen to… Continue reading Post Teacher’s Day
Reason For My PassionĀ
Throwback 7 years ago! Was collating my cards for this year’s, and came across these. I love receiving handwritten cards over store bought gifts. Maybe I’m old school. Love cards so I can keep and read. This card revived my memory. I could not remember using newspapers to teach English for that long. It’s a… Continue reading Reason For My PassionĀ
CA2 Science
Glad my teaching method works. This p5 girl came to me with borderline marks, and saw great improvement within 5 lessons! But I will like to emphasise that this is no miracle. This takes effort to communicate with the parent as well as with the child, and of course, understanding a child’s learning needs and… Continue reading CA2 Science
PSLE Oral
I’m proud my method works, but this is no mean feat. It takes constant reminders and effort on my part to ensure my p6 students accept what I teach. It’s a different ball game from yesteryear. As children are approaching into their teens, getting them to follow you without questioning you is far and few.… Continue reading PSLE Oral
Sweet Note, Sweet Gift, Sweet Girl
First Teacher’s Day gift from my P5 girl. Been teaching her since P2 and she’s really a sweet girl. I love handwritten notes and they hold a special place in my heart. The words say it all. Aside the academics part, there should be a fun element for students to remember you by. This, spurs… Continue reading Sweet Note, Sweet Gift, Sweet Girl
