Experience/Remarks
i have given alot of informal tuition to my sisters and to my friends during my time at school.
I have played the electric guitar for 6 years, and play in a rock and blues band. I have performed in numerous gigs and performances before. I would be very happy to teach basic and intermediate guitar (acoustic or rock/electric) as this is one of my main passions.
Commitment Level
I can commit for a period of 6 months. Within this 6 months, i guarantee results.
I do not believe in indefinite tutoring. For subjects like math for example, it is all a matter of getting concepts right and getting into a particular frame of mind and attitude.
If i feel that the student does not need tuition anymore, i will definitely tell her, rather than go on teaching unnecessary for the sake of earning money.
Also, if i feel that i am not qualified to teach a particular subject, i will definitely inform the student rather than continue giving substandard teaching. Currently, the subjects that i have listed as being possible for me to teach are those that i am very confident that i am capable of teaching to a competent level.
