...to excel in their academics. I had a lot of achievements when I was a tutor. I helped this young middle school student, who was struggling in algebra, to obtain the highest test grades in his class with a 96.

Observe the student's past performance,...

...Spiritual Psychology. I love learning and teaching. I believe that children should be taught in a way that suits their own learning style. Unfortunately, schools simply lack the resources and time to cater to each student's unique needs. Therefore, it is so important that children have the opportunity to work with a tutor one-on-one to fill in any learning gaps. My teaching style caters to the student's learning style and personality. I assess each student's...

The Montessori philosophy, "individual, freedom within limits," is the teaching style that I adopt. Especially when teaching world languages, it is very hard to frame all students in the same box since each student's learning style is different. Knowing and observing a student's strengths and personally designing the teaching method based on each student's or parent's expectation is my goal.

I will also supplement traditional teaching methods with a constantly changing array of context based interactive activities that...

Sometimes, a little motivation is all that is needed...

More importantly, I have been speaking Chinese with Chinese every single day since 2005, as even after I left China earlier this year I am still married to one!
