SELF-INTRODUCTION WRITE-UP
--------------------------
I am an experienced Maths Tutor and I am very good in imparting my mathematical knowledge to students through guiding them using logical thinking and derive the mathematical answers themselves. I do not focus on teaching but steering the students to construct out and derive the solutions themselves so that they can truly comprehend the mathematical concepts and remember these concepts without much fuss. I can relate to students very well especially those who are mischievous and rebellious. I did not do well in my 'A' Level due to my rebellious character during my teenager time. Nonetheless my academic learning in maths was back on track during my university years and I obtained a First Class Honours in Mathematics with an average score of 91.2%. I am able to steer my students to score well in maths one way or another. Getting A1 is within reach for anybody who really put an effort into it and I certainly can guide him/her to attain that.

"It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense." - William Cobbett
