Hello! My name is John and I am an experienced online tutor from Singapore specialising in teaching English from PSLE up to Cambridge O-Levels or equivalent.

I have a BA (Hons) in English and a MA from Goldsmiths, University of London. I have been teaching for more than 15 years now and have developed a highly-customised style of pedagogy that caters to each student’s learning capability and promises to enhance their overall holistic learning.

A quick background about myself:
1. I have been teaching online even before the Covid-19 pandemic started and contrary to popular belief, online tutoring can be highly effective if a tutor knows how to engage their students in a fun, interesting and meaningful way.
2. I do not believe in a one-size-fit-all pedagogy. Every student learns differently and it is important that an educator adapts accordingly to their student’s learning needs.

Pros of online tutoring:
1. Security: No travelling is needed. Your child learns in the comfort and security of their own home.
2. Convenience: A laptop/computer with a good WIFI connection is all that is required.
3. Accountability: I am fully accountable for your child’s learning. A monthly report will be sent to parents to update on their child’s progress.
4. Results guaranteed: If your child has clocked more than 40 hours with me and still has not improved, I will gladly refund you 10 hours worth of tuition fees. No questions asked. (*T&C apply)

Things to note:
1. For the PSLE syllabus, I cover all 4 components: Writing, Language Use and Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Oral Communication.
2. Each lesson lasts for an hour and takes place via Zoom.

I offer a FREE 30-minute trial session for new students so feel free to drop me a message to arrange a session.

Looking forward to hearing your interest!

My teaching methodology involves both targeted and holistic learning. I will zero in on a student’s weakness while providing him or her a comprehensive understanding of how other aspects of the English syllabus can help inform them.
For example: a student can pick up interesting phrases from a Comprehension Cloze passage and use them for their own creative writing, etc. Read less
