Teaching...?

Hmmm been giving this some thought for awhile, now.

Ever since being recognised as a H3 chem potential, which surprised even myself, I've been trying my hand at teaching...chem, of course.

Essentially, I only have two regular students, while I only help the others out occasionally. The results have been... better than I would've expected. Si Song got A for chem in his MYE... though when I taught him I thought he would've gotten a B. Maybe the SAJC paper was easy, I dunno. Or maybe that can be attributed to his own intelligence... I wouldn't know, either.

On the other hand, Joy beat me in MCQ for chem mid years, though that would be more because of her own hard work than my teaching, because I basically didn't teach her during the last 2 weeks before Mid years. Hence I cannot have a measure of how much help my teaching had done her, if any.

Amongst these uncertainities, the only thing that can be confirmed is that both have improved by noticeable levels in the past months--- Both were failing during the 1st common tests.

So, in order to accurately gauge my teaching abilities, I shall take a third student. She's from secondary school, however, so I don't know if the same methods for teaching JC chem applies. But lets have a shot, anyway.

From here, I shall just observe. The results of this 3 students eventually may very well be the key factors which determine whether I really choose teaching as a carreer.
