Teaching!

End of my first week in school. I'm really enjoying tutorials with my classes. Haha. First thing's first my classes are great. They are surprisingly active in class, and it's in a good way! They interact a lot, but they are not noisy. Just the way I like it. And yes they are realistic kids lah. I told them about class participation marks, but I never expected them to volunteer so spontaneously! That's really a pleasant surprise for me. And I'm so happy that they are willing to ask questions in class! Haha. At least there's no 冷场！Haha.

I gotta admit I can barely remember their names but I promise i will try my very best! Hahaha. I feel so paiseh that my students say hi to me and I can't really remember their names. Haha. That's the thing about JC's that's different from secondary schools. The kids are really more open and proactive! I like it that way. Haha. It's more like mentor and students rather than teachers and students. Much friendlier environment.

But one thing's for sure - their foundation in additional math is far from ideal. Haha. I think it's due to all the orientation and fun, and their brains are not adjusted back yet. Haha. I shall not worry too much about that and focus on getting them back on track. Tutorial speed varies quite a bit for me. Haha. My science classes are really faster than my cross combi class. That may not be a good thing for my science classes. 29/10 has problems with tutorials and they really asks a lot of questions about lecture notes, etc. But it makes me feel more secure coz at least I'm sure that after I explain to them they understand fully. For 12/10 especially, they don't seem to have much problems with tutorials, and they don't ask much questions. BUT, when I marked their assignment yesterday, I realised that they have quite a bit of problem on presentation, methodology, etc. Haha. They will get quite some nagging from me on Wednesday when I see them!

Monday and Tuesday's course for me! Going with John, Li Shi and Shi Ying for the course at somewhere in orchard. It's a whole day course lah, 8am to 5.30pm. It's gonna be damn taxing according to Mdm Aini. Haha. But the good thing's I'm paid for the 2 days and I will get a payrise of $10-15 per day once I complete it. So that's damn good lah! =D=D=D But I will miss my class! The school hired a relief teacher to relief me on tuesday sia! That's damn funny. Relief and relief teacher? Hahaha. Anyway lucky I do not have any lessons on Mondays. It's really a pain to miss tutorial classes. Coz they will be at different speeds and some classes have to catch up. Tough on them and me. Haha.

All my nagging in class is really bad for my throat. Today woke up with no voice again. Haha. Needed quite a bit of warm water to warm up my vocal chord. LOL. I should find ways to maintain my voice. Haha.

Just had a tough driving lesson. All the circuit stuff to remember. Haha. Test's coming so I really gotta remember my stuff. Haha. Last stretch already! Haha.

My GEP interview's coming too! I'm beginning to get damn panicky. Really no idea what they will ask but I hope everything turns out fine!
