Hi! Let me tell you more about myself. I guess by now you will know that I am the head tutor of Mckaylan Tutorial Centre. I taught in Ang Mo Kio Secondary School (AMKSS) ten years before I decided to set up my own tuiton centre. While I was at AMKSS, I taught mostly the upper Sec classes. I also began to specialise in curriculum planning and eventually became a Senior Teacher (specialising in English) in the school.
I love to teach. I enjoy preparing lessons and stimulating young minds to love English. I am heartened that many of my pupils have grown to love and excel in English after attending my lessons.
At Mckaylan, I plan the 11-month curriculum and come up with all the lessons and worksheets. I teach most of the classes myself as I really love to teach and would not like to be bogged down by administrative matters or I will be in MOE all over again. Most of my customers learn about me via word of mouth. It’s only recently that I am trying out google adwords. And when the children join us they usually continue with us till they graduate from Pri or Sec schools. I have watched so many grow and blossom into mature and sensible teenagers. Once I used to tower over them but now they are taller than me.
Anyway, I will be blogging more often. Please let me know if you have any queries and do leave your comments if you have any.
