About the Author

Hi there!

I am Joseph, and I have had the pleasure of being a teacher for the Ministry of Education (MOE) for over 10 years. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from the National University of Singapore and a Master's Degree in Education from NIE-NTU (Singapore). My teaching journey has taken me through several wonderful government schools, including Clementi Town Secondary, Naval Base Secondary, Presbyterian High, CHIJ St. Joseph, and Farrer Park Primary. Throughout this time, I have enjoyed working with many amazing students, ranging from those in the Normal Technical (NT) and Normal Academic (NA) streams to those in the Express (E) stream.

In addition to my experience in government schools, I have taught full-time at several top international schools in Singapore, helping students from Hong Kong, China, and Indonesia succeed in their AEIS exams and transition into mainstream MOE schools. I have also taught at various prestigious tuition centers across Singapore. Currently, I am providing private tutoring and have accumulated over 10 years of experience in this area. Throughout these years, I have employed proven techniques and strategies, including using Zoom for conducting lessons. I am proud to say that many of my students have achieved outstanding grades, with some receiving prestigious awards and recognition from notable institutions. I would be excited to share a gallery of positive reviews from parents and students, available in the link below.

My passion lies in teaching Science, English, and Mathematics at the Primary level, particularly in helping students prepare for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). At the Secondary level, I enjoy teaching Sciences (S1 to S5) and Mathematics (Secondary 1 and 2). I am also trained to teach Biology, having had the pleasure of instructing this subject at MOE schools for several years. I strive to be patient and understanding, taking the time to get to know each child’s unique strengths and weaknesses.

Feel free to check out the positive reviews from parents here: https://tutorjoseph.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-programme-highlights.html. I know choosing a tutor can be a bit daunting, but I hope my profile gives you a glimpse of who I am and how I can help. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!

Useful Parental Information

HOW TO STUDY SCIENCE

ALWAYS:  Keep a calendar and look ahead – lots of things happen at the same time in the semester, and you will need to pace yourself and plan.  Go to class. It’s much harder to learn from other people’s notes than from your own. BEFORE CLASS:  Skim what’s coming up in the textbook, so it’s not all totally unfamiliar and you have some idea of what’s coming.  Skim the previous day’s notes, so you can relate each lecture to what came before. TAKING NOTES:  Take notes on everything, except (perhaps) things your professor SPECIFICALLY says you don’t have to know for an exam. If you only take notes on what “seems important,” you run the risk that you will miss important material that didn’t seem important in lecture.  Write down the instructor’s MESSAGE, which (a) may not be every word on the board/slide and (b) may be MORE than what is on the board/slide. Include sketches of the figures; they often contain important concepts.  Use abbreviations to speed note-taking.  Keep true to the instructor’s outline structure (or create your own) so you can tell how each topic relates to the others. Otherwise everything seems like an isolated fact, making it very hard to learn.  Make notes to yourself in the margins of your notes, indicating potential test questions or especially big ideas. Clues to potential test questions are material that your professor repeats several times, problems that your professor works in class, and statements like “I put this stuff on every test I ever write.” READING THE TEXTBOOK:  Do not “just read” without thinking about what you are reading – that’s “pretend studying”  Study your textbook along with your notes – do they agree with each other? Do you understand the flow of the story? At the very least, annotate your notes with helpful ideas from the textbook; better yet, rewrite them in your own words (see below). REWRITING YOUR NOTES:  Rewrite your notes in your own words, incorporating useful information from the textbook. If you do not understand it well enough to rewrite it in your own words, make a note to ask your instructor as soon as you can.  Why rewrite? o You are constructing knowledge as you are deciding how to rewrite your notes in your own words and integrate them with the text. o Later material builds on

1) 5 Tips on How to motivate Your child.

1. Keep a relationship with your kids that is open, respectful and positive. Stay on your kids’ team, don’t play against them. This will allow you to be most influential with them, which is your most important parenting tool. Punishing, preaching, threatening and manipulating will get you nowhere and will be detrimental to your relationship and to their ultimate motivation. Your feelings of anxiety, frustration and fear are normal and understandable. But reacting to your kids out of these emotions will be ineffective. Remember, your child is not behaving this way on purpose to make your life miserable or because they are lazy good-for-nothings. When you feel yourself getting worked up, try saying to yourself, “My child is just not there yet.” Remember, your job is to help them learn how to be responsible. If you get negative and make this a moral issue, then your child might become defiant, reacting to you instead of thinking through things himself.

2. Incorporate the “when you” rule. One of life’s lessons is that we get the goodies after we do the work. When you practice shooting hoops every day, you start making more baskets. You get paid after you work at your job. So start saying things like, “When you finish studying you are welcome to go to Gavin’s house.” Or “When your homework is completed, we can discuss watching that movie you wanted to see on Netflix.” Enforce this rule and stick to it. If your child does not yet have the ability to plan and initiate and persevere, by sticking to this rule, you are helping them learn how to do what their own brain is not yet equipped to do, which is to create the structure for him.

3. When you are invited in. If your child is not studying and his grades are dropping, you’re invited in whether he wants you or there or not. Again, you’re there to help set up a structure that he is not able to create for himself. The structure might include scheduled study times, having the computer out in a public place in your home, and saying, “No video games or TV until after homework is done.” You might decide that he must spend a certain amount of hours devoted to study time. During this time, no electronics or other distractions are allowed. You might make the rule that even if he finishes all his homework, he must complete study time by reviewing, reading, or editing. You might make the rule that he devotes an hour-and-a-half to quiet time, no electronics, and just doing his work. Understand that it’s not meant as punishment; rather, this is helping him develop a good work ethic and to focus on his school subjects. Some kids do better listening to music while they study, but no other electronics or multi-tasking is recommended.

4. Ask the teacher. If your child’s grades and work habits are not up to par, you can set up a plan by sitting down with him and his teachers. He might have to check with them to make sure he has everything before leaving school, and then check with you before going back to school to make sure all his work is in his bag. Once your child gets better at managing his time, completing his work and reviewing his subjects before tests, then it’s time for you to back off.

5. Identify a study spot. You may need to sit with your child while she’s doing her work or at least be nearby to help her stay on track. She may need a quiet location away from brothers and sisters or she may do better in a room near others. You can help her experiment. But once you find what works best, keep her in that location. You will not do her work for her, but you may need to review her work and ask her if a certain paragraph makes sense to her, for example.

PURPOSE:

To help pupils better understand and appreciate the usefulness of the topics covered in mainstream schools.

RATIONALE:

Many pupils have a rather sketchy or weak foundation in primary Maths and Science. This is due mainly to the lack of exposure to sound concepts which are
fundamental to the greater understanding and appreciation to Maths and Science.
Without a solid grounding, many pupils are at a loss when it comes to solving
Problem Questions later on in upper Primary levels. Subjects such as Maths and
Science which are content-based subjects are thus the most badly affected since
the pupil has to grapple with higher-level and more abstract concepts which rely
heavily on elementary and foundational concepts taught at the lower primary
levels. These pupils will thus end up struggling for the rest of their lives in
schools if nothing is done to address this problem at an early stage.
The focus of this programme is to bridge any gap between what a child knows currently with what is being taught in school as well as between lower and upper primary levels in the most effective way so that pupils will stand to gain an added advantage once they step into upper primary levels and beyond. This programme will not only address this shortcoming but also help to boost the level of self-confidence in your child. Your child will thus end up appreciating the subject for what it is and will challenge himself not to give up all too easily but to make an attempt to find a solution to every problem that he or she faces, be it in school as well as in the outside world.

It is my hope that your child will join my programme and learn to gain as much useful insight as possible by attending this programme which I have specially created to address the need of your child.

This programme consists of both Maths and Science subjects .
The details vary according to the branch location in which you register your child.

Outline of SCIENCE Programme

...Synopsis to the Programme:

This lesson
is designed to help pupils cultivate Science process skills which is
increasingly being taught in primary schools in order to prepare pupils for
secondary levels and beyond. It is thus highly suitable for pupils who will be
going on to do Science in Primary 3. It serves as a starting point for the
learning of Science as a discipline . It gives pupils a glimpse into the
workings of a scientist in solving daily problems in our lives. It encompasses
the common process skills such as comparing, classification, evaluation, fair
testing, prediction, hypothesis, graph-reading and interpretation and a host of
other skills. This course is also relevant to existing science pupils who wish
to revisit the principles of a science investigative project. Experimentation and consistent practice is the highlight of this course and hands-on activities is carried out to better help pupils appreciate the inner workings of a scientist. Its highly-structured lesson is packed with lots of fun-filled activities that serves to keep the pupils enthralled and mesmerized from beginning till the end. If taken in the right frame of mind and spirit, pupils who attend my programme will be more confident in expressing their answers to problem questions seen increasingly in Section B of their Science assessment (test & exam) papers in school as well as in PSLE papers. Pupils who have attended this programme in the past have benefited greatly as they have gained greater confidence in expressing themselves to seemingly 'difficult' questions.Interestingly, I have also used this same technique and strategy in my June and Dec Holiday Enrichment Programme at KRTC with much success as attest by my pupils. (see my Portfolio obtainable from Branch office*)
There is no age limit and anyone with a keen interest in Science is free to
participate in this programme. Hope to see you there.

Below is a typical Primary 5 Science lesson conducted in my class on 'Plant reproduction' As you can see, there are experiments to help your child learn and appreciate Science in a fun and interesting manner. Science is meant to engage and entertain and arouse all the senses which is ultimately linked to picking up essential science process skills implicitly.

Synopsis to the Programme:

Problem-Solving Heuristics

Apply logic to solve puzzles – that’s all it is. And there’s a systematic science to it.

Most children love activity books. This proves their innate need to be challenged and mentally stimulated. Maths puzzles tap into this instinctive desire to stretch children’s minds. Challenging Maths questions challenge them to find and apply faster, more creative solutions. This trains them in higher-order thinking and decision-making skills on top of subject knowledge.

Now, don’t we all apply these skills at home, at work and at play? Therefore, heuristics practically take children beyond school, right through their lives.

Heuristics in PSLE Maths

1. Use Diagrams / Models Watch Sample Below: 2. Act it Out 3. Use Before & After 4. Use Systematic Listing 5. Look for Patterns 6. Work Backwards 7. Use Guess & Check 8. Simplify the Problem 9. Make Supposition 10. Solve Part of the Problem 11. Paraphrase the Problem
12. Think of a Related Problem 13. Use Equation

More than half of PSLE Maths marks go to heuristics-related questions.

Approximately 55% of PSLE Maths marks are dedicated to long, open-ended questions that necessitate problem-solving. Several are routine questions, easily solved using the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Many are non-routine questions, requiring the four basic operations AND problem-solving heuristics.

The Ministry of Education has identified 11 heuristics for primary-level Maths, and two more for secondary-level Maths.

In problem solving, terms such as ‘strategies’ and ‘heuristics’ are commonly used to
describe certain approaches and techniques used in the solution process.
Strategies are useful techniques for solving a wide variety of problems. There
are general steps to make a problem clear, simpler or more manageable. These two terms are often used interchangeably and sometimes used jointly as heuristics
strategies. Heuristics are general strategies through which a problem solver moves towards a solution as in Polyas (1971) classic “How to Solve It” where he prescribes the following 4-phased process.

1.

SEE: What is the problem to be solved? What are we trying to find out? Can the problem be re-stated in another form?

2.

PLAN: What is known. Where do we go from here? What is needed before this problem can be resolved? What additional information is needed? What is a useful strategy to
use?

3.

DO: Carry out the plan. Apply mathematical skills, concepts and strategies;

4.

CHECK: Compare with the original question. Does my interpretation match the original question? Does it make mathematical sense? Should I revise it further?

At the same time there are specific strategies a pupil can learn and use to solve specific problems such a the following listed below. These strategies are the more common ones taught in schools and exemplified through solving certain types of
non-routine process problems. These strategies to be covered in this programme
include:

·

Acting it out

·

Using diagrams and models

·

Making a systematic list

·

Looking for patterns

·

Guess and check

·

Working backwards

·

Using ‘Before’ & ‘After’ concept

·

Solving a problem by breaking into simpler parts

·

Writing mathematical statements

·

Making suppositions

Examples of
the above and specific heuristic strategies will be covered in greater detail
during my weekly Maths/Science Programme lessons. In this programme, we will highlight some common heuristic strategies that pupils may use in our local classrooms. Model methods will be dealt with extensively to solve several non-routine problem and challenging sums.
