Edupoint SG Tutors

I’m a current MOE school teacher with 30 years experience.I can teach Tamil Language for all levels.I can also teach English & Maths for Primary 1 & 2.

Ex MOE tutor with more than 20 years teaching and tutoring experience. I am a motivated and patient and result oriented tutor. I enjoy helping students overcome their difficulties and excel. I adopt a result oriented approach, allowing my students to make small incremental improvement to learning both fundamental and application skills.
Many of my students have shown much improvement. Primary students advanced to Express/IP/IB in secondary. Most Secondary students achieved B3 and above (A1/A2).

My specialisation is in tutoring JC H2 and H3 Physics, but I am confident of tutoring Mathematics at the Secondary and JC levels as well.

While I have not officially taught or tutored JC students, I have experience in teaching weaker schoolmates in JC 1 and 2. My proudest achievement in teaching would be helping my friend improve his Physics from a D to B in JC 1 within two months. Below are some of the key ingredients to successful teaching that I picked up and applied along the way.

First and foremost, would be the manner of explanation one utilises. While our academic system sometimes requires memory work (definitions, abstract formulae etc), I strongly believe that a clear division should be drawn between what should be memorised and what should be understood. Certain basic ideas or calculations, such as the derivation of the force due to gravity acting on an object on a inclined slope (F = mg sin θ), should be thoroughly taught to and understood by students to the extent that they are comfortable deriving them from first principles during a major exam (in this case, via vector resolution of forces in tandem with basic trigonometry), rather than just relying on memorising an answer sheet. While fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the subject, this approach to teaching would also build students’ confidence and assurance that what they are applying is based on sound logic, rather than blind memorisation.

Second, the need for application. A strong understanding of subject matter will not translate to exceptional marks if one does not see how individual concepts fit together as part of the bigger picture. Application can come in two forms: seeing physics at work in real-world contexts and applying concepts to solve exam questions. A well-thought out revision system will include elements of both: First, to develop in students an intuition for how scenarios can be expected to play out. Next, to build their confidence and check and reinforce their understanding by applying new concepts in exam questions, possibly with concepts integrated across multiple topics.

Lastly, the value of imparting exam skills. While understanding subject content and practising questions are important, there are some other tips and tricks that can provide a boost to students’ prospects. One key to success in physics exams is the ability to quickly identify the specific topics, concepts and equations likely to be relevant to solving any given question. For example, while solving for the maximum extension of a spring-mass system in SHM, it can be easy for students to fall into the trap of thinking that this can be solved by taking x = mg/k. A well-trained student would focus on the fact that the system is in SHM and hence undergoing acceleration at its lowest point, indicating that an energy solution is required, instead of solving for Fnet = 0. I believe that by value-adding some of these little points, I will be able to set up my students for success.

Teaching ability side, expertise is also critical to being a successful tutor. Apart from my capacity to absorb and apply knowledge, as demonstrated by my achievement of 90 RP in the 2021 A Level Examinations, I also have the ability to dive deep into advanced subject matter beyond the A Level Syllabus. Apart from achieving a Distinction in H3 Physics during the A Levels, I also sat for the ENGAA in 2022 as part of my successful application to Cambridge Engineering, where I achieved a maximum score of 9.0 for the Advanced Physics portion of the assessment. This was only attained by 2% of applicants. I believe this demonstrates my strong understanding of the underlying concepts in Physics, as well as in Mathematics (since success in H3 Physics is contingent on competence in algebraic manipulation and calculus). I am confident that rather than superficial touch-and-go tutoring meant to achieve the bare minimum of keeping a tutee up to date with the academic syllabus, I will be able to work with my tutees to develop in them a strong foundational understanding of the underlying concepts.

Engineering graduate and also was a school teacher for a short period in Fuchun Sec teacher Maths & Science subjects.

Hello, my name is Enrica. I have graduated from Temasek Polytechnic holding a Diploma Food, Nutrition and Culinary science. I am currently taking an Advance Diploma work-study programme under Applied Food Science in Singapore Polytechnic.

While going back to school once a week, I am also currently working for Nestlé R&D Centre for experience. I took up this as I would like to earn some extra income and save up for my University fees. I would describe myself as someone patient and caring. I love being around children as they are always happy and I am always intrigued by their pure hearts. I have no prior experience in tutoring but I will put in my best to bring out your child’s potential.

I used to volunteer as an Art teacher at Very Special Arts (VSA) where I teach kids with special needs (autism) art. Through this experience, it made me realised that I enjoy teaching, guiding and working around kids. It has instilled values like patience as well as kindness in me. I am also looking forward to studying a double degree in both psychology and sociology in the future.

*Tutoring Method or Philosophy*
✅ Get to know student’s weakest point first and build up their confidence.
✅ Tips to score well on various sections
✅ Ensure that they have a strong base and foundation
✅ On my part, to be prepared before lessons and prepare extra materials for student.
✅ Always to be patient and not get frustrated while guiding and teaching student.
✅ To teach them wholeheartedly and make lessons as enjoyable as possible to get student to love the subject as well

As for teaching methods, in summary,
English: strengthening foundations such as grammar rules as well as introducing vocabulary words weekly to enhance one’s knowledge which can be used timely when writing composition

Chinese: introducing vocabulary words weekly, common useful phrases to be used in composition as well as building one’s confidence

Science: build strong foundation with children by ensuring concepts are easy to grasp and understand. To also introduce different ways to visualise concepts such as mindmaps

Most students graduate to top schools Nan Hua, Hwa Chong, Cedar Girls, RI. Students who started late but willing to put in hard work get into medium schools such as Swiss Cottage.

Currently working under an agency doing p1-6 online composition markings.

Testimonials of parents and students available on request.

I like gardening. I’ve been a pr school teacher for more than 30 years. I started as an EMS teacher then specialises in art education the last 5 years. I am an experienced private tutor for many years too. In fact I find private tutoring more rewarding as the student is more focused and I can help him/her learn concepts better.

I am an ex-teacher many years ago, teaching Business English in a private institution. My students comprised of 20 working adults in classroom. Lessons were conducted once a week.
My last job was a public relations officer for 7 years, serving HDB residents.
Currently I’m in my 70s.
I now wish to provide English tuition to update myself.

Been tutoring upper block math and science for 10 years. Produce quality results from AL6 to AL1, consistently getting AL1 results for three years in a row, getting pupils to improve from failure to 75. Results of improvement depends on many factors like answering techniques and student receptive to feedback. Takes both hands to clap.
