Today i received 2 phonecalls? early in the morning. They are awesome calls that makes my day!
1st call was a from parent that had sent her child to attend our Organic Chemistry Mastery Workshop over the weekends. She called in to check with me on the follow-up materials that i promised all parents that i will send them immediately after the program. It was before she put down the phone where i hear all the encouraging words: “My son really loves the program over the weekend. Thank you! Thank you very much! He wants me to contact you on the follow-up materials quickly cos he believes it must be something invaluable that can help him improve his chemistry grades. In fact, he suddenly got so much interest in Chemistry, that wasn’t like that for the last one and half years. He hated chemistry in fact. Thank you for helping him. We hope you are able to put aside some time within the next 6-8 weeks and offer more programs to my son to learn more about Chemistry and achieve the grades he wants.”
How can we not start on a day beautifully when we hear such comments early in morning. Hey friends and partners that talked to me today, now u know why i am so cheerful =)
And then an hour after, i received the 2nd phone call that asked me why i always call myself a Chemistry Coach or Trainer, but not Chemistry Tutor. She say by saying that i am a Chemistry Tutor, more parents and students can come approach me, since Singapore is full of Tutors…Individual, Centres, etc. and used to it.
Here is my take and the main reason why i NEVER call myself a Chemistry Tutor.
You see, in life, lots of people students know what to do, but few people students actually? do what they know. Knowing is NOT ENOUGH! You must TAKE ACTIONS! If you will allow me the opportunit, through my coaching programs, I’ll be your personal coach. What do coaches do? Just like a basketball, soccer coach, well, first we care about you. We’ve spent years focusing on a particular area of expertise, and we’ve continued to make key distinctions about how to produce results more quickly and in a more enjoyable fashion. By utilizing the strategies your coach SHARES with you, you can immediately and dramatically change your performance. Sometimes, a coach doesn’t even tell you something new, but reminds you of what you already know, and then gets you to do it, to refine it till it suits your style. This is the role, of being a Chemistry Coach, and with your permission, that I’ll be playing for you.
Tutors in general will force you to adopt their systems. If their system works, than that is good! Some will ask you to memorise important facts and figures, while many tutors actually only provide you a location/time slot where you can sit there and ask them question (and yes..if you have any questions..).? The worst thing is when a tutor (especially in centres) can teach students in all subjects e.g, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, E-Math, A-Math and also English. Wow!!! How can that be possible??? How can such “tuition” be effective?? Parents are wasting money while students are wasting time there! At least this is what i hear from many students..sad that their parents do not know it…
So, on what specifically, will i be coaching you? I’ll offer you a distinction of power in how to create lasting improvements in quality of understanding in Chemistry theories and relate to you how Chemistry is connected/related in our everyday lives. Yes. Everything you see, hear, feel and smell are related to those chemistry theories. My method is always to REKINDLE YOUR INTEREST in Chemistry fast and you can work on your ACADEMIC RESULTS and achieve the grades that you truly desire. Will it be easy?? Yes only if you yourself are committed to it, cos on my side, my commitment is always here.
I will help you to raise your standards by discovering what they currently are and realizing what you want them to be. This will help you change the core beliefs that are keeping you from what you want to achieve and enhance those that already serves you well. And this will assist you in developing a series of proven strategies for more elegantly, quickly, and efficiently producing the results you desire.
