Tutor’s Teaching Background

Teaching Approaches 1. A personalized learning portfolio that will be sent to you on a monthly basis. This package is specific to your child's learning strengths and areas for improvement. 2. Progress tracking with baseline (first lesson) and post learning assessment every 2 months. I'll analyse the results and create a progress chart for your child so that we're able to monitor the progress explicitly. 3. EL learning strategies--for example, i'll be teaching comprehension question type and structures to answer questions. For composition, I focus on writing techniques eg how to creat a strong narrative plot. 4. Online teaching using zoom and google classroom for secondary and university students Teaching background: I have a PhD in Educational Psychology and post-graduate diploma in English languageeducation (PDGE-Secondary).

She would make sure students understand theconcepts, and give them a chance to thinkand ask questions then clarify them altogether" "Being a rather reserved student who gets anxious about sharing, I am surprisingly eager to share during GeckHong’s tutorials. She facilitates group discussions by creating a warm atmosphere. She also acknowledges and respects students’ ideas by building on them or subtly but clearly"
