Question 1

Can you teach my child who hates or dislikes math?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Students who hate math usually come from either weak foundations, low confidence or repeated low grades. I will diagnose this during the 1st lesson and implement strategies to help them increase their confidence and/or strengthen their foundations.

Question 2

My child has trouble focusing. Can you handle that?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My teaching system is designed for students who struggle with attention, focus and motivation. I break down my lesson into small segments to help your child stay engaged. After the lesson, I will implement micro deadlines to ensure your child is consistent with their work.

Question 3

What if my child is already doing well and wants to improve further?

Accepted Answer

I will refine your child's answering techniques to make sure they are not losing marks to careless mistakes. Moreover I will provide harder question types or past year papers to challenge your child to ensure they maintain their A grades.

Question 4

What if my child is very weak?

Accepted Answer

I will diagnose this during the 1st lesson and implement strategies to help them increase their confidence and/or strengthen their foundations.

Question 5

Will you adapt to my child’s learning style?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because lessons are 1-to-1, I can adjust the pace, level of support and amount of practice around how your child learns best.

Question 6

Do you give homework?

Accepted Answer

At the end of every lesson, I will assign homework to your child using micro deadlines throughout the week.

Question 7

Do you update parents regularly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I update parents regularly. I will share your child’s progress. I may also ask for your help to remind your child about homework or micro deadlines between lessons.

Question 8

How do you explain difficult concepts?

Accepted Answer

I break each concept down to the simplest form and teach it in a way using terms your child understands. Each child is different so the terms I use will differ from everyone else.

Question 9

How do you keep students engaged?

Accepted Answer

I break down my lesson into small segments to help your child stay engaged. Moreover, I use active questions and relatable examples to keep the lesson fun and interactive.

Question 10

How do you track mistakes?

Accepted Answer

I note down mistakes made during every lesson and assign homework based on the mistakes made by your child. Subsequently, I will periodically re-assign homework on the very same mistakes.

Question 11

How long before I see results?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the starting point and consistency outside lessons. Many of my students improve 1 to 2 grades after about 2 months of tutoring. I will give you an honest view of your child’s progress.

Question 12

What actually happens during a lesson?

Accepted Answer

A typical 2-hour lesson usually begins with me going through the homework assigned to your child at the end of the previous lesson. Afterwards, we will usually go through their next weak topic or a topic tested for the upcoming exams. At the end of it, I will assign homework to your child using micro deadlines throughout the week.

Question 13

What if my child doesn’t improve?

Accepted Answer

I will diagnose whether the cause is a foundation gap, lack of confidence or time management. I will then adjust my approach for future lessons so your child does not make the same mistakes again during future exams.

Question 14

Have you taught students with ADHD or attention difficulties before?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I specialise in teaching students with ADHD and students who struggle with focus. I adapt the lesson structure and accountability system to how your child responds.

Question 15

What if my child refuses to do homework?

Accepted Answer

I will first find out whether the homework is too difficult or due to avoidance. I will then make the task smaller and clearer, implementing accountability techniques like micro deadlines and incentives to motivate them to do their homework.

Question 16

Are materials included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Personalised notes and practice questions are included at no extra cost.

Question 17

Do you offer trial lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer a paid single-lesson trial ($130) instead of asking you to commit to the 4-lesson package ($520). The lesson also serves as a diagnostic so I can identify your child’s academic bottlenecks and show you how I would address them.

Question 18

How do payments work?

Accepted Answer

Lessons follow a prepayment model. Payment of $520 is made upfront for each 4-lesson package before the package begins. The next payment is due every 4 weeks.

Question 19

How long is each lesson?

Accepted Answer

2 hours

Question 20

How often should lessons be?

Accepted Answer

1 lesson a week. However, if your child needs more help or wants to jump subject levels (eg G1 to G2 or G2 to G3), 2 lessons a week is preferred (subject to my availability).

Question 21

Is my home within your travel area?

Accepted Answer

Send me your address on WhatsApp and I will confirm with you over text.

Question 22

What’s your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

As lessons are prepaid in 4-lesson packages:

- If you give more than 24 hours’ notice, the lesson can be rescheduled. Physical make-up lessons are subject to my availability while online make-up lessons are more flexible.
- With less than 24 hours’ notice, no make-up lesson will be offered unless there are extenuating circumstances.

However, if I cancel a lesson, your next billing date will be extended by the number of lessons cancelled.

Question 23

Do you have testimonials?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can read anonymised testimonials. Sensitive details are withheld to comply with the PDPA.

Question 24

What are your qualifications?

Accepted Answer

I earned an A for H2 Mathematics at the 2023 A-Levels and hold an Economics degree from NTU. I also teach secondary school Math at Keynote Learning.
