to empower encourage and inspire

The new tuition assignment went pretty well yesterday. the student is a pleasant girl who has a goal of achieving A1 for her PoA. I believe she can do it and I will try my best to equip her with what she needs to do so. I’ve got to do my homework too, in order to empower her in that.

Here’s my mental checklist I’ll have to check out later..

- jot notes on what was covered yesterday. this is so that I can reinforce some of the main learning points next Monday. Drilling the fundamentals into her is important. I’ve been getting her to give me entries like it’s off her finger tips. That’s a skill accountants must have.

- locate some past year papers so that I’ll have a good idea what is the exam format like. She has a problem of not being able to complete the paper on time. got to train her with exam time constraints. I’m hoping to give her a mock exam before her actual Ns in October. Mock exams helped me tremendously when I was doing acca. I’m sure it’ll benefit her too.

- draw out a timeline for her. I’ve got her exact exam date so I’ve got to work backwards so that we can cover all the syllabus on time for exams and still have time to do exam papers.

So that’s for tuition assignment number 1. I’ve just received an email notification of another possible tuition assignment. However, this one requires me to tutor commerce on top of PoA. Commerce at O levels is new to me as I have not sat for that paper before. Nonetheless, commerce topics are a bit of here and there which are covered in A levels econs and accounts. I’ll need some time to digest the syllabus before I can decide to commit on this or not.

I’m becoming more like a tutor than a finance exec. Haha. Imagine if I can be really good at this, maybe I can go full time just tutoring =P that’s if my students will be empowered to excel with my guidance, of course! There is only that much I can do within the 1.5 – 2 hours I see them once weekly. The rest is up to them.

My job is to empower, encourage and inspire!
