Finally after a long while I'm back to giving math tuition =) Today marks the start of my tuition plans... Made my way down to Bedok North after having dinner with my Dad... Reached the place and had a short talk with the Dad... It's a P6 girl I'm teaching, so I will have to teach all the way till after her PSLE, even though sch starts in August... Anyway I had a short chat with her juz b4 we started on anything... Nice little lady who's abit shy but at least she speaks her mind when I ask for her opinion...
Can see that she's super serious when I'm talking and concentrating with all her might, lolx... Reli felt respected but at the same time also tried to make the mood lighter =) We used 2 A4 exercise books; I wrote in one to explain concepts and solve examples and she took notes in the other... I got to draw a model again after dunno how many donkey years and it was sortof fun, hahaz... Anyway, I found out tat for Pri Sch students, the content is not reli tat hard, but u need to noe how to deliver it in a simple enough way so tat they can understand... Quite cool la, I started off with abit of revision for fractions and it was reli satisfying to see tat she understands after I explain it step by step to her... I also told her that she'll have to become more proficient with the multiplication and division tables and that I'll give her speed tests in between lessons to let her practise... Thought it would be gd for her to have the answers at her fingertips =)
I finished by summarizing what I taught for the whole lesson and asking if she had any questions... Apparently she's doing fine so I said that if she had any questions along the week she can always clarify with me again next week... Left the place feeling great... It was definitely worth the time spent, not onli becos of the money but also for the opportunity to bring her understanding of certain math concepts to another level =) Now I'm reli looking forward to next week, where I'll start with 2 other students, bothe of whom I noe personally, haha... One is my cousin and the other is Yiyong... Hopefully the experience can be as gd if not better than this one... I am always thrilled when I see that someone else is able to understand math concepts and attain a whole new level of understanding =)
