Looking for a private tutor (English Language) for your lower-secondary-school-going teenager(s)?
I specialize in the teaching of the English Language and can tailor a course of learning for the said. After determining the needs of each learner at the outset of the program, a proposal will be drawn up to suggest how the learning journey will look like:
- Holistic teaching: this will focus on the teaching of the language for the purpose of passing the all-important school examinations, perhaps with extra emphasis on areas that require more guidance.
- Learning support and/or general language appreciation: this caters to those whose command of the language is minimal and generally need to have greater exposure to it. The plan is to introduce as many written texts as possible to each learner vis-à-vis short stories, poems, newspaper and magazine articles etc. so that he/she may, among other things, have an expanded vocabulary and a growing appreciation of language use. This may not involve the teaching of examination skills.
- Creative writing: each learner will be introduced to good pieces of writing and taught the basic principles relating to it. Ample opportunities will be provided for each learner to exercise his/her creativity in the writing of short stories and even poems.
Parents and guardians are free to indicate the kind of program that is preferred: perhaps it is to teach the teenager to the examination; alternatively, learning support may be what the teenager needs, hence examination skills may not figure so prominently in the program; on the other hand, the teenager may only need to hone his/her creative writing skills etc.
To make lessons more interesting, various media will be used in which case a laptop will come in most handy. Online resources will be provided for each learner to use to better his/her English Language skills. Information technology incidentally has lots to offer in this regard.
The charges, per learner, are as follows:
- Secondary 1 (Normal/Express): S$ 60 per hour
- Secondary 2 (Normal/Express): S$ 60 per hour
Home-visits will incur additional transportation charges. A 10% discount is offered in the event of group tuition (not more than 3 students per session). The monthly fees must be paid in advance, upon the commencement of the course.
The frequency and duration of the sessions depend on the availability of the learner(s).
