In depth look at: Christine
She's a diligient and disciplined student.Due to the fact that she doesn't come from a chinese speaking background, she might be weak in that language. But she never fail to show her seriousness in learning by asking questions and paying attention to my lessons though they might sometimes be 3-hour long . I enjoy teaching her too, giving her 1-to1 individual lessons despite the fact that our timings always clashes with each other. She scored C5 in her normal school exam,her B3 grade for "O" level is definitely a breakthrough for herself,surpassing her normal performance. During the six months with her, I feel heartened that her Chinese Language standard has improved by heaps and bounds with credit given to her diligience.
In depth look at: Jin Quan
She is also another hardworking and promising student with high potential. The advantage is that she comes from a Chinese-speaking background so she has the language foundation there. She comes to my house for lessons once a week as she is always busy with CCA(badminton) committments and other subject tuition. Though she does not really drill and practice the comprehension or compositions segments, she would treasure her lesson time asking me questions to clear her doubts and she does read up alot, gaining exposure. Her main help I guess would be the sessions I asked her to practice Oral conversations on Webcam. This greatly reduce her tendency to get tongue-tied whenever she feels nervous facing the oral examiners. It increases her confidence as she reviews her webcam videos every now and then to spot for errors in her expressions,gesture and speech. The mistakes discussed will then be avoided the next time round we do a "filming". This goes on and on till she could reach near perfection in speaking.Impressing her examiners with her flawless speech and eloquence on the actual day of exam then come naturally for her,giving her the "distinction" on her "o" level cert.
