Teaching Experience and Achievements
As a Secondary School Tutor over the past 8 years, I have nurtured many ‘O’ Level students, ensuring that they had the skills and exam techniques necessary to excel during their exams.
Nicholas’ deep understanding of the ‘O’ Level syllabus allows him to bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and mastery to his lessons. As he firmly believes that students need to be engaged and interested in order to excel, he employs a variety of teaching methods, including hands-on activities, real-world examples and interactive class discussions, to make science concepts real and relevant for his students.
The majority of his students have seen huge improvements after joining his classes, with over 60% of students scoring A1/A2 for their ‘O’ Levels and 80% scoring at least a B3.
About me
I believe that education encompasses much more than just achieving good grades. It's about shaping a student's character, strengthening their resilience, and instilling in them a strong sense of determination. In my classes, I strive to provide a supportive and encouraging learning environment where students feel safe to ask questions, discover new perspectives and explore their interests.
