and opportunity. "

pushed. "
- "His command of languages is the best
amongst the rests. However, he is quite complacent to excel."

- “I prefer to teach them concepts in
addition to theory. Like Venn diagrams, so that they can apply instead of
memorizing. I think that is better."
- "I am trying now and it is working
quite well. I bought some marshmellow for them and they are quite cheerful
now. I will make the lesson slower then. Make the three of them acquainted
first."
- "I think she needs to learn more
attention skills, more cognitive skills for science. Her challenge is not
able to pay attention to what she is reading. Also, she is not
strong in her understanding of science questions with diagrams, tables. I
think her challenge lies in her English as she has limited vocabulary.
Therefore, she does not understand words like characteristics. Her Math is
good but facing attention and processing skill challenges...I have noticed
her being more interested lately and grasp concepts faster, especially for
Math. She simply cannot do the paper alone, she needs attention and
guidance. "
- "I have written down the instructions
what is to be done in the file for the replacement teacher. The children's
exams are coming up."
- "The school didn't tell us about the
format till later. That is why not enough practice. Besides, the final
exams isn't in this format. Usual format he should be able to do well. I
don't want to overstress him as well. If he does too many heuristics, he
might forget the usual problems too."
- "I kind of gave up. He failed his
prelim. Didn't really hope for much. But good for him with a C4 for his
English."
- "Much better now but it's still the
bad attitude. Not very confident and also not willing to learn if don't
understand. But once get it can do."
Teacher Candy
|
-
“I like to interact with them as
well, get to know them personally, then can be a good mentor."

credit. But I am happy for him too."

regrouping of the class and probably re-teach certain concepts to each
group."
Teacher Soh Song Qi
|
-
" I spoke to Mei Qi's
parents. They are concerned with her progress. I told them I am helping
her to build up her basic and will try our best to help her improve. Mei

problems."

- "I see Douglas has potential to give
the express students a good run. He is teachable."
