(From Jan 2014 to Current)
• My girl’s learning style is– Kinesthetic Visual learning style. She has a short attention span and could not sit down to do work for long. So, I have to tailor my teaching methods according to her needs – Short, Interesting and Fun.
• For Mathematics: Devise own games and specialized tests and worksheets to focus on maximum digestion of materials. Short test to assess competency.
• For English: She is weak especially in spelling and learning new words. I focus on her learning style– Kinesthetic Visual learning style and her strengths in recognizing patterns. I teach her special ways to recognize the patterns in words to aid her fast retention and absorption of new words and their spelling.
• For Chinese: She is weak in reading and dislikes writing mandarin words and is weak in vocabulary. I focus on her strengths in patterns recognition and short attention span. Devise special ways to teach her how to recognize the meaning of mandarin characters which makes learning easier and interesting. In this way, she found interest in learning mandarin. .
Achievements:
Able to maintain child’s interests and to maximize absorption and retention of materials.
3. Part Time Tuition for Singapore Polytechnic Student in Polytechnic Engineering Mathematics
(2013)
• Damien was an ITE graduate whom advanced to Polytechnic studies and was unable to adapt to the lecturer’s teaching style. As he did not do Additional Mathematics in Secondary, he struggled with his Engineering Mathematics. His learning style is visual and he needed detailed workings and explanations to learn Mathematics concepts. He was also very shy and dare not ask his friends or lecturers or tutors.
• By having more attention from me - the teacher, which means a lot easier for him to approach me, to clarify any doubts that he may have. I was very patient with him and made him understand everything before I moved on to the next question or lesson. I will go through the topic before every class test and revise with him.
• I gave him plenty of encouragement to spur him on. There were times where he lost hope and wanted to give up but I gave him endless support and encouragement. I showed concern about his overall performance in school and his well-being. I would believe that we have built a good rapport over the many sessions I have conducted for him. Depending on his weaknesses and strengths, tests were given once in a while to test his understanding of the concepts taught.
• My greatest asset is that I am able to connect at the level of the student. I am able to identify individual students’ weaknesses and adapt my teaching strategy to maximize learning. I found that with my strategy, he was able to grasp key concepts with ease and with constant practice, soon he was able to solve more difficult questions. He made steady improvement and also found interest in Mathematics. He managed to pass his Mathematics test and also get a Grade “C” for examinations for the FIRST TIME in POLYTECHIC..
• I frequently updates his parents on their son’s performance and attitude towards learning and ways to help him.
• I often reflect after each lesson on my teaching methods and reassess them so as to make my instructions more effective for each lesson I teach. I also solicit feedback from him so that I can better improve on my teaching methods.
Achievements:
Student who failed tests before, passed tests and examination with grade “C”.
4. Coaching husband for Polytechnic Engineering Mathematics and his classmate
(From Apr 2007 to Mar 2012)
My Husband – Lau Teck Kwang :
• My husband is an ITE graduate that subsequently decided to do a part time Engineering diploma when he was 41 years old. He did not complete his secondary education hence, had no foundation in Secondary Mathematics.
• I found that his learning style is visual and he needs plenty of examples with detailed steps to explain the Mathematics concepts. So, I tailored according to his learning needs.
• Before he started his course, I spent 3 months every weekend, teaching him and showing him lots of examples on Secondary School Additional Mathematics to build his foundation.
• When Polytechnic school term started, I focus on teaching him his school work with plenty of examples and exercises to master each topic. My topic by topic lessons during beginning lessons useful and helped to build a solid foundation which was critical for the second and third year Mathematics.
• As he mastered the topics, he improved and became more confident. We will do drilling of the many past year tests and examinations papers to help him master and gain speed so that he could complete the paper within the stipulated time.
• In the end, he graduated with a Merit in Mechanical Engineering with a cumulative GPA of 3.97 out of 4.
His Polytechnic Engineering Classmate – Luqman Hakiem Bin Sarry
• Luqman is an “O” level graduate that was weak in Secondary Mathematics foundation. My husband knew him when they were classmates in the Polytechnic doing the same course.
• His learning style is Auditory. To teach him, I have to be very patient with him because of his weak foundation in Mathematics. I will explain concepts and clear his doubts slowly and clearly until he could understand. To help him gain confidence in mathematics. I always answered his questions patiently until he was aware of his mistakes. I put in a lot of effort going through topic by topic with him. Slowly, his results started to improve and I was able to see a big improvement in his confidence. I push him further to excel as. I believe that every student the potential to do well no matter how weak they once were.
• At the end of his Polytechnic, he graduated in Mechanical Engineering with a cumulative GPA of 3.8 out of 4.
Achievements:
Able to teach an adult learners from ITE and O levels without the necessary foundations in Secondary Mathematics to excel in Singapore Polytechnic Mechanical Engineering Part Time Engineering Mathematics.
5. Coaching niece –Lim Yu Han - Secondary 2 Mathematics
(2010)
• My niece was a girl that lacked motivation and often slept in class during Mathematics lessons. She had short attention span but was a fast learner. I had to personally coach her. I really went out of the way to help her out of a true passion to teach and love for her and to help her build some skills and confidence in mathematics so that she can reach her potential. .
• Her learning style is visual. I tailored my teaching according to her learning style – Visual and short attention span. I made the lesson short and each topic- simple to grasp. I used plenty of examples and questions to teach her and short tests to assess her competency. I have to put in extra time and effort to make sure she understand everything clearly.
• I think that really helped her. This had given her a sense of renewed confidence that that she can do well in the subject. I had helped her realize that with practice, mathematics is not a difficult subject to conquer. I saw a change in attitude and a passion to want to do better.
Achievements:
Passed secondary two Mathematics examinations.

I have done relief teaching in Primary and Secondary Schools and I am very involve in teaching at tuition centers as well as one - one coaching. I have a great time teaching and interacting with the students. Its very rewarding to see my students gain confidence and interest in the subjects. Teaching is my calling and I want to ensure I can impart whatever I have to the students.
I have also completed my post graduate diploma for Cambridge International Diploma for Teachers and Trainers in 2014. This will certainly equipped me with great skills and knowledge in the education industry.
Testimonials:
Timothy
Holy Innocents' High School
When i was in secondary 3 I took up perhaps the most challenging subject combination, triple science. It was a struggle. I remember failing countless additional math and physics tests. But I was not going to give up. My parents and I desperately searched long and hard for the best math tutors, and that's when we found teacher Pamelyn. Pam's patience and creative teaching techniques worked wonders as I saw first hand my grades improve over time. I'd gone from consistent failing to Bs and then nearly straight As for my prelims. But when I saw my O level result slip, I was in awe. I'd scored an A1 in both math and physics and an A2 in additional math, distinctions in subjects that my school teachers once deemed me hopeless in! Furthermore, lessons were always fun and interesting and my favorite part about lessons was learning new and better answering skills to achieve excellent results. Thank you teacher Pam for your guidance and unwavering support. Those classes really did pay off and I'm so glad that I can finally matriculate into my preferred Junior college! If you are looking to achieve academic excellence, I'll certainly recommend Pamelyn as the techniques and skills I've learnt from her were incredibly effective.
This is a personal note from Busyra:
Ms Pam is a kind and caring teacher that has helped me achieve a B3 from a F9 for aditional mathematics. Her teaching methods are easy to understand and has helped me greatly in attempting harder question. She always tries her best to make me understand a certain topic and makes sure that i practice enough for me to perfect in it. I am truly grateful for her and i believe she's a great teacher.
