Jian Chen's results has definitely shown a shocking improvement in his results.From 66 marks for Chinese in SA1 to 74.5 in SA2.All his language components have improved greatly,with Compo 16/20,Compre 35.5/50,listening Compre 7/10, Oral 16/20.
With just 4 months attending my tuition he has improved greatly. But before 4 months ago, it was a different story. My first impression of him was that he was a very active person who could not sit still(not necessarily bad but a difficulty).He does not like written work and during lessons he will not pay attention. Originally in a group tuition with another P4, he tends to get distracted during lessons and talk with him.It was quite a headache because i was quite worried about his exams which will be coming in 3-4 months time.How can I improve in such a short time? He is a intelligent kid with a high potential,just a bit lazy and easily distracted. I talked to his mom and we decided to withdraw him out of the group tuition into 1-to-1 tuition so that he will not get distracted.
1 month before his exam, i keep giving him extra lessons as I feel time is running short.He will come to my house during the weekends from 8am-12pm,lasting 4 hours. It was still quite a task getting him to do his work. Sometimes i will need to be flexible and Go through with him the exam papers and include many short breaks in between lessons. I also need to be patient and talk to him nicely.
His committment play a huge part. During the PSLE marking days, where primary sch students need not attend sch, he is the only one who went for intensive lessons. Consecutively for 4 days he keeps coming from 8am to 12pm for tuition. Even though, he lives at Bukit Timah,His noble mom takes time to drive him to my place despite a busy schedule.
As a result of his hard work,he has shown improvement....
