Tutor Experiences:
Teaching approach:
I like to help students to visualise diagrams and allow them to understand concepts and questions so that they can see them from a different perspective that is easy to understand. As somebody that constantly tops the cohort in school, I believe that the Sciences are something that requires understanding and not memorisation.

Track record:
As a top scorer in Temasek Junior College, I constantly taught my peers in school whenever they were in doubt. I was also often tasked to teach my peers in groups in classes as a form of discussion to enhance our self-guided learning. For 3 years, I have taught O level and A level Physics & Chemistry and they have made significant improvements. Most of my O-level/IP students have seen significant improvements within the first few months upon starting. My recent batch of 2021 A level graduates have made tremendous progress and scored mostly As!


Additional Remarks: I want to incorporate some of my tips and tricks to help answer and understand O/A level questions easily as I am well versed with the syllabus.
Moreover, I have made understandable and succinct notes that help to summarise the entire syllabus.
