MY STORY AS A TUTOR/TEACHER
I started tutoring when I was serving NS in Singapore. My first students were my cousins. In that first experience, I doubt that my tutoring was helpful. As an idealist who believed that education should be free, I saw tutoring as a social service for the needy and planned to provide this service free to all. That idea did not last long.
A year after National Service, I pursued a Diploma In Education with NIE/NTU. After 2 years of full time study, I was posted to teach at Chongzheng Primary School. I was 25 years old then, and still quite idealistic. The salary as a Diploma holder was not great, and I supplemented my income by providing tuition classes. The story of my first paid student can be read here, and that was the real start of my journey as a tutor, in 1995. It was also the start of my life as a teacher. 31 years have passed. Wow! Time flies.
Teaching as a school teacher and teaching as a tutor differs significantly.
