I currently have 4 students under my tutelage.

My teaching style: Go through the basic fundamentals thoroughly first (either via own prepared notes or selected books), followed by practice exercises to reinforce understanding of each concept and finally practise past exam questions to build up accuracy and speed. I will adjust the pace of the lessons to suit my student's learning ability.

My expectations of my students: As each session is short (usually 2 hours), homework has to be given. I expect my student to dutifully complete the homework that I have assigned so that any doubts on the questions can be cleared readily during the next session.
