I am new to WyzAnt but am an experienced tutor. My strengths are in

- ESL instruction for Asian students
- College essay writing coach
- Speech & Presentation tips and training
- English literature expository essay writing

I have studied and received my Bachelor's degree in English and International Relations from Tufts University. As well as being a native speaker, I am experienced at remedying common challenges encountered by students who are new to English. As a Singaporean, I grew up understanding Mandarin, Malay and now French, which has been very helpful in communication with students from other countries. In the past I have worked closely with both American and international students in essay writing and speech editing; I also have writing experience in my professional background.

If you are looking for tutoring assistance in any of my certified subjects, I would be happy to speak with you about your specific needs to see if I am a good fit as a tutor. Since time is so valuable, I am invested in delivering a high quality teaching experience that makes an impact and will not waste anyone's resources.

ESL/ESOL

Native English Speaker raised in Singapore! I grew up around Chinese, Indian, Malay and other Asian students. Many of my friends spoke a different language at home. Personally, I was raised in an English speaking home but was also instructed in Tamil, an Indian language, since I was seven years old. I have maintained fluency in English and familiarity in Chinese, Malay and Tamil. This exposure has taught me a special appreciation for the difficulties of achieving fluency and eloquence in written... Read More

Public Speaking

My background in public speaking is varied and multi-faceted. I believe public speaking can be broadly categorized by its context and function. For example, public speaking in a corporate context would suggest the need to address customers, stakeholders and colleagues in presenting projects, deadlines and objectives. Public speaking can also be for entertainment, as in emceeing events and functions. I have had experience in both for several years. In my present and past roles, I have delivered... Read More

Cooking

I used to hate cooking. When I was in high school, I barely knew how to use a can opener, and did not appreciate the likes of classmates who whipped up a five course meal while I gave myself food poisoning.

Cooking for me, arose out of necessity. I was sick of eating fries and hamburgers (read: gaining a lot of weight), and missed the flavors of Asian cooking. I took to making simple and easy meals, and slowly built my confidence in the kitchen. I believe the secret to cooking is being... Read More

College Counseling

I would like to be considered for certification in college counseling. I believe I have had adequate experience in the preparation towards college, not to mention navigating the challenges of study abroad programs, financial assistance and on-campus college employment.

Also, I will be starting a graduate program in the fall with the University of Massachusetts-Boston, and will be a teaching assistant. As a result, I will be attending graduate school at no cost.

Nutrition

East meets West in nutrition, and wellness! I have an ardent passion for wellness as well as a love for food. I believe in the healing power of foods, and their intrinsic ability to enhance mood, deliver a lift, and enhance productivity in one's everyday activities. I believe strongly that it is not a luxury, nor an expensive lifestyle that requires copious amounts of time. There are basic guidelines that can assist in meal planning for individuals and families, which can be easily maintained... Read More
