I have been a private tutor in the last 10 years and nothing else truly gives me a rich sense of worth and value outside of teaching. As a matter of fact, I do not almost consider teaching as a career any longer. Personally, it is a calling. My primary purpose in life is to impact as many students as possible - at least as many as cross my path.
By nature, I am highly structured but I can be deliberately flexible on delivery style just to show empathy and create a more relaxed atmosphere for learners to learn with ease. I will use varying prompts in my sessions: these will encourage students to think wide and far, and I will allow students to also think through once given a clue. In this way, students never feel pressured to study but rather they are challenged to be fully responsible for their studies and make the most of the sessions.
I am a motivator, a stickler for excellence and often visibly firm in my approach. Because I believe in the traditional approach to learning, parents may have to bear with my popular mantra: "let’s encourage children to learn in an ORGANIC way." I will motivate anything as long as they have breath in them, stirring up their winning spirit so as to be the best they can be. I discourage learners’ "blame games" I am always looking out for opportunities to be a little twinkle in every learner's success story. Will you let me, please?
I am sometimes a slave master that will jolt learners out of their comfort zones but not without the empathy and practicalities that enable tasks to be well accomplished, and when it comes to teaching, I am most resilient and compassionate towards learners’ agitations. The most interesting part of me is that I tend to measure my own personal achievements by the outstanding success of my students.

Tutoring Approach

I have developed a scheme of work and lesson plans over the years based on the actual curriculum taught in schools. I will allow learners to express themselves in a relaxed atmosphere, follow the syllabus, making sure to concentrate extensively on the problem areas. The tone must also be flexible as well, working to the advantage of the learner.
Vivid illustrations and colourful annotations that create strong pictorial forms will be used and Presentations that will demonstrate patterns which students are able to spot easily themselves, especially arithmetic and mathematical problem solving. Different practical analogies, connecting everyday life, to draw contrasts and comparisons between problems in order to explain what distinguishes the cases presented are usually other unique ways to solve difficult or challenging concepts. Aspects of the English culture have proved a very useful resource in language learning especially since language is often regarded as a carrier of culture.
Finally, I always endeavour to make learning so much fun leaving learners with a long-lasting impact and a profound imagery of the subject substance.
