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.
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
My p5 girl having fun with the scope. It was supposed to be an English lesson, but she ‘begged’ me to teach her some Science. 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
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!
Learning Needs
I’m privileged to teach a p5 boy. His mother told me he has mild dyslexia but he doesn’t seem to show it. I enjoy my lessons with him so far. The title does not reflect that the boy has a learning problem, but rather, what works for him. He is so comfortable at my home… Continue reading Learning Needs
Improvement In Writing
Glad my student has shown vast improvement in his compo. It is no mean feat, considering he just started in January. His good attitude helps him up the notch too. Hope to guide him to score even better!
Interactions(Food Chain/Food Web)
“It’s Science lesson now? OK!!!” My student’s face always lights up when it is time for Science. He will always quickly pack away his English books and get ready. We revised on Food Chain/Food Web and my son’s flashcards came in real handy! Simple concept on food chain. My student enjoyed the process of sifting… Continue reading Interactions(Food Chain/Food Web)
Feeling Unappreciated
Shared this in a tutor support group. ‘Just to rant a little. It’s a bit sad. Parents tend to find current school teachers and not ex moe school teachers to tutor their children, unless by word of mouth. In terms of experience and knowledge, I’m sure ex moe teaches like me, won’t lose out to… Continue reading Feeling Unappreciated
