And so my sis has gone off for her school camp. ;-; TAKE CARE!!

While I await my stuff to load and for 2 pm to roll by, I figured, instead of just sitting there and rotting while listening to songs, why not update about my work instead? I did promise an update but never really got round to it nahaha. 8D"


Monday
Sec 2 Science
Two students, both foreigners. Hardest class. ;-;"
Moe - no, I'm not making that up, that's seriously her name.
She's Japanese and her English is not really there yet, so when I mark her work, it's easy to spot Japanese definitions for certain words here and there. xD It's really quite cute. Her English is cute as well, but she doesn't use much of those science jargons that are needed to score marks and all so it's actually a problem.

I remember marking her papers and there was one question in her paper asking about the uses of an electronic balance and a spring balance.
Answer:
Electronic Balance: used to measure things
Spring Balance: used to measure the weight of 2 things

I think I nearly died out of amusement there. XD" *feels bad* For the record, an electronic balance is used to measure mass of objects, the spring balance is for weight of objects. [Physics states that both mass and weight are different from each other].

LY
Guy, and he's from mainland China. His English is really weak so he couldn't read 98% of his notes. x_X" Had to explain to him in Chinese, which is difficult for me considering I haven't spoke much Mandarin for 2 years ahaha. D: He spent the most of his time checking for definitions for words.
This Monday was my first lesson with him so not much thought. XD"

Sec 2 Maths
One lone guy, and I didn't get his name ahhhh. ;-;"" He was fine, very quiet, Maths was fine. First lesson as well, so I don't know much about him. XD"

Tuesday
P3 English
This...has to be my most favourite class. XDDD";;; Relatively easy subject, 2 kids with their own quirks.
Ben
-Facial expression: >:| seriously
He asks slightly more questions and he's better in English as well. VERY fast worker [finished off 4 pieces of work when his classmate managed 2.5 pieces].
-White rabbit candy lover. I saw him eat at least 5 pieces of the candy. XDDD";;;
-I'll forever remember him as The Kid who Did His Work in Yoga Poses. Really, on our first lesson, he went to a corner of the classroom, sat on the floor and SULKED for half an hour. He eventually took his work and started doing it - ON THE FLOOR hahaha. .___.";;;
For the second lesson, he climbed all over his chair while doing his stuff. o_0"
When I told Riva about him, Riva remarked that he must be a yoga master at home AHAHAH. *amused*

ZK
-Facial expression: ._.
He's a LOT quieter than Ben, but his English isn't as good. He asked me a question yesterday!! I nearly died from his voice.
"Teacher, how to spell 'disappointed'? =D"
AHHHHHH.
-Sometimes when he's tired and doesn't know how to answer a question, he pulls at his hair in frustration. XD"
-Drinks out of a bottle with a STRAW ♥ *drinks, SLUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPS, finishes drink*
"Teacher, can I go toilet? =D"
xD And when he came back, he played with his bottle with his FEET. ._.

P5 English Class
This class seems more aloof. =o"
Bev
-VERY fast. She finished her stuff in like half an hour and had an hour to spare. o_0";;; Her English is quite good too. =) Also more willing to ask questions.

WX
First lesson, so I don't really know a lot about her. Seems very quiet and weaker than Bev.

Sec 2 Science
Yet another guy whose name I'm not sure. ;-; According to my aunt, his mom made him out to be a REALLY REALLY weak student. Mom must have exaggerated because he was largely fine in his Science. It's just the problem of lack of scientific terms and all that.

Wednesday
P5 Maths
The lesson that I'm waiting for now. =X Will be teaching Bev, hope I can do a good job.


That's basically my job. =B";;;

My stuff are done loading!! <3 Genanis should really start soon. >___>

So.. you're a tutor at the tuition agency or..? xD;;

Tuition's been hard on me, can't seem to get any jobs >> I guess it's because I don't teach primary school + lower sec science.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 11:43 am (UTC)(link)

Tuition centre, since I have a relative who works there. xD Confidential information~
