Passion is definitely half the battle won. And passionate students are a joy to teach.


But do take note that students who are very passionate about History might not necessarily do well if not guided. This is because History is often read as a narrative but scoring in an examination requires students to structure their arguments well. Hence, a student who ends up telling a story of trying to impress the examiner with how much he/she knows instead of picking out relevant details might end up not doing very well. The main reason why students struggle with History is precisely because its delivery in class and the method of testing often do not match.

Hi! I’m a teacher with more than 10 years of experience teaching history (GCE + IGCSE + IB) and I’m thinking of taking up 1-2 tuition assignments next year to set aside some funds for further studies.


I do not believe in long drawn-out history tuition sessions especially when students are already bogged down with so many activities that are competing for their time. Hence, my focus is usually on getting the student confident in using the necessary skills for answering SEQ and SBQ questions within 4-8 sessions of 1.5-2 hours each. Each session is $80/h. Once we get the skills right, then sessions will become less frequent (i.e. when the student is facing difficulties nearing their tests / examination). Honestly, sometimes all a sharp and hardworking student needs is that 1-2 sessions of going through his/her history answering techniques - I’ve seen students go from an F to A within 2 sessions and it is a tremendously satisfying feeling.

Do drop me a message if you’re interested in getting help for your child (around the Sengkang / YCK area).
