I’m a very dedicated teacher. Before I conduct extra classes for students who underperform, I first check which aspects of their learning need improvement. I outline each topic and section that needs improvement. I then give extra class tests to check the gap where they have missed their understanding of the topic. After that and I still notice that they are still underperforming, I therefore include extra classes, collaborate with other teachers, utilise techniques with the use of technology. Announce their progress weekly and build up working relations with their parents and private tutors where possible.

I took an honours program in education where I majored in language and literacy studies. One of my electives were sociolinguistics and functional grammar. Here, I have learnt a lot regarding learning cognitive dissonance and what contributes to successful learning outcomes.
