"Everyone can succeed!"

I am a Singaporean who has lived, studied, and worked in the US since 2000. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in History from Santa Clara University in 2012, and my Master's in Teaching degree from Northwest University in 2019. Before I earned my MIT, I worked as both a substitute teacher and an enrichment teacher with public and private school students with a wide range of skills, personalities, and needs. This includes students with developmental or learning difficulties, students with socio-emotional difficulties, and students learning English as a new language. I have worked in education since 2012, in both public and private schools as well as tuition centres. My Master's endorsement is in Primary (Gr 1-6) education, so I can teach Primary English, Maths, Science, and Social Studies. I have also worked Secondary (Gr 7-12) level students on English & History subjects such as AP Literature, AP World History, SAT English, and AP Language & Composition. Teaching students is my passion. The moment a student has an "Aha!" moment is the most rewarding part of the process. My teaching style is to tailor the strategies, materials, and assignments to meet the student's specific needs and goals as well as to develop a growth mindset in them. When students see that they are making progress towards a goal, they gain confidence, which in turn motivates them to make more progress.
