Chan Yu Ming

I have taught tuition for 14 years, and have been teaching Mathematics for 8 years in a school. I usually ask suitable questions to test on the student's understanding. If he/she cannot answer, I'll try to find out the root of the problem (could be from lower years topic), and I'll brush up on it. I'll subsequently ask the student to explain to me what I have just taught, and ask him/her to set a similar question and answer it. Questions should in general range from easy to difficult. My teaching philosophy is "Do not just drill". Understand the concepts and practise to reinforce understanding, not for the purpose of drilling. As long as students follow my instructions to adopt the right habit of studying, they will score well. I like tutoring because of the sense of satisfaction, and I prefer one to one so that I can focus better.

Achievement

I graduated with first class honours in Mathematics at NUS. I have obtained A for Maths C, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, as well as a distinction in Maths C S Paper.

Proven Record

My greatest success is in teaching an O-level student about six months just before his O-levels. He normally obtained F9 for A.Maths in his school's exams, but he obtained A2 for A.Maths in O-level! Other success stories include all my students being able to appreciate Mathematics much better now and not just treat it as an irrelevant subject, and they no longer find the subjects difficult to study themselves.
