Tutor’s Teaching Background

I have been teaching in mainstream preschools and special needs schools for over 12 years, for children aged 2 to 12 years old. I taught English, Phonics and Math in preschool for 6 years and worked with students with ASD, ADHD, speech delays and learning difficulties in special needs schools. For the past year, I coached teachers in a private early intervention centre by introducing structured teaching, play-based activities and strength-based approach. I am currently going into full time tutor focusing on preschoolers and lower primary. I attended Jolly Phonics workshop and hold a Certificate in Autism from Autism Resource Centre @ Pathlight. Personality-wise, I'm very patient, responsible and organised who enjoys connecting with the students and helping them to unleash their potentials. My teaching methods include MOE-aligned structured teaching that follows the national curriculum covering key concepts with assessment books and past years exam papers. I like to include hands-on manipulatives, songs, visual aids, readers, and games to engage students. One of my strengths is identifying the underlying difficulties and bridging those gaps using the knowledge and methodologies that I gained while teaching special needs children. Lastly I believe that building rapport with my students to create a safe and trusting environment is crucial for their learning as well.
