--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Academic / Musical achievements: I will be reading my NTU Master of Arts (Instructional Design & Technology) @ NIE from 2012 onwards. This gives me the opportunity to understand the methodology of instructional models, developing of coursewares and curriculum, and to integrate technology into institutes.

Apart from holding a Bachelor Degree in Communications Management, i also have a Diploma in Marketing, Advanced Diploma in Business Management, and Advanced Diploma in Mass Communications.

I was also a candidate for NUID Master of Science (Management) degree, till i withdrew, to after being offered a place at NIE/NTU.



Relevant Experience / Teaching Style: I have taught primary school kids some subjects before, specially P1 to P6, and also taught martial arts(karate) to kids at their homes. I should also be able to help certain tertiary or Diploma level modules such as communications related, management or marketing related modules.

Teaching/Training is my passion, as i want to see all students achieve their education goals, which is to finally receive the certificates of their respective levels. The minimum for all students i would see, is a Diploma, while for most, a Degree would be a basic.

For the teaching of Karate, i have more than 10 years of training in Karate, and have a National Coaching Accreditation Programme(NCAP) Level 1 for karate coaching. I am able to coach kids on self-defence and Karate training on a private basis.



Special Training / Skills: Being effective in my current job in the examination department, i have held briefings for my organisation's examination framework for the newly hired invigilators.

I am completing my Cambridge International Diploma for Teachers & Trainers (CIDTT). So i should be able to devise structure programmes and session plans, and analyse learners needs. I am also able to understand the theory of Andragogy and Pedagogy, formative and summative assessments.

To develop WSQ curriculums, i am also on the verge of completing my Advanced Training and Assessment (ACTA) course, after clearing the CIDTT course.

I did well in my MSAT and got into the Mensa Society Singapore since 2009.

With my passion to teach/coach/train/instruct/tutor, i should be able to guide and even inspire the tutees to achieve their academic goals.



Available Tuition Schedule: From February 2012 onwards.

The basic wealth of values.

The basic wealth of values comes from within oneself usually. I find many people around me doesn't have the real kind of basic wealth of values. For example:
Seeing new people in a corporate settings should give a handshake(a hard/or moderately firm grip) to signify friendly and warm-heartedness. I am perturbed to see many did not have that kind of value. Please learn. Thank you.

During a batam trip, a table setting was in rectangle. Naturally, the 2 people who sat at the long end of both side can't reach their food at each other's side. Please, stand up to exchange plates for one another. What infuriated me in my heart was a man of my neighbouring country keep on eating dishes as close as his rice there. He was oblivious that some people(like myself), was hoping to have a taste of the dish near him, as the table was supposed to be a shared tourist lunch table. Effing no value.

I am delighted to see us Singaporean as naturally culture. People do dare to render help to the needy or anyone seriously in their crisis situation. And people does stood up to render seats to the needy. That's the value of what we needed.

When you are an overseas university graduate, do not take photos at locations in Singapore. Because Singapore justify the significance for the local university. Therefore for private overseas university graduates in Singapore, please take photos at studios, or take it at the locations of the country they would have originally graduated from.
