About Me
Hi, my name is Violet. I am an international school educated tutor who has been tutoring children and teens for the past 6 years. I have experience with tutoring students from the mainstream school and SEN settings in English, English Literature and Psychology. Given that every student’s learning ability is unique, I do personalise teaching materials based on the student’s strengths and weaknesses. To better improve my students' learning experience, I have pursued and am continuing to pursue professional development (e.g. play therapy, TEFL, PGCE, AMBDA). If you wish to enquire more, please do not hesitate to contact me!
My Teaching Philosophy
In my classes, I hope to engrain the philosophy of making perplexing knowledge approachable and applicable to daily life. With this in mind, I use in class discussions and linkages to current affairs to make classes engaging and interactive.
I also understand that students are constantly under a lot of pressure to succeed, which may actually become detrimental to their academic success. That is why I strongly believe that patience, compassion and the right teaching methods will allow student to flourish.

Interest and hobbies that I integrate to lessons
Since secondary school, I enjoyed watching clips related to true crime, economic affairs, documentaries and history. Aside of the clips mentioned, I also like to watch various British and American series. This all helped me improve my vocabulary and my analysis skills tremendously, which made it so much easier to apply knowledge to real life situations!
