About Alan
I used to be a student who aimed to scrape merits and excellences in my younger years before I stepped into NCEA. After a long struggle at improving my grades in my two weakest subjects: English and Maths, I was able to turn my grades around, making these my best subjects, and my favorite ones. Through this long journey of flipping my grades around in my favour, I went through a plethora of barriers which allowed me to understand the struggles of students, and gives me a vantage point from where I can help students progress.
In Year 13, I served as Academic Captain (Senior Prefect) for Westlake Boys' High School, whilst sitting 10 Scholarship Exams in a range of Numeracy, Literacy, Science and Cultural subjects. Through this, I have gained a wide variety of knowledge that improves my critical thinking in Maths and English - the two subjects I intend to teach.
I have helped students go from failing internals to passing them with Merit to Excellence level. I have helped students realize their potential in subjects they initially hated. I take a patient approach when tutoring students who do not learn as quickly as the average student.

1) I ensure that I understand the content that I am teaching myself, and in some cases, knowing 3x as much as my student has allowed me to expand upon a topic freely, without being bound by the constraints that a curriculum may set (which can often allow students to learn many more interesting concepts about a subject).
2) I make sure to understand the barriers that a student may face in a subject, which allows me to give them more direction and insight in a way that they can overcome these barriers and develop an integral understanding of a topic, to be able to improve their grades.
3) I take a bottom-up approach, by building the foundations for the student first, before jumping into more complicated concepts (which allows the student to understand a subject in more depth).
4) I look for additional resources for students who display greater interest in topics, to ensure that those who are willing to work hard have the material they need to extend their academic capability. I always found that teachers who did this for me in school allowed me to excel in subjects that I was passionate about, and I wish to do the same for my own students.
