About Stanley
I trained in the US (BA in History and Economics, Rollins College, Class of 2025) and tutored university History (100–300) and Economics for four years at my college writing/tutoring center. I now tutor both Singaporean and international-school students: Primary 1, 3 and 4, Secondary 1–2, and Grade 8 international.
Subjects: English, and History

My approach
I teach English and History the way I was trained in the US: build reading and writing endurance, then use that stamina on school work. A child who can only last two paragraphs will keep failing long papers no matter how many “model phrases” they memorize. So lessons are not a pile of short drills. We stay with a text, we write past the point where they usually stop, and we rewrite.
Personal Philosophy on Vocabulary: Vocabulary is not learned through memorization but through reading, building a healthy reading habit is vital to growth. Many Singaporean parents do not realize the value of creating the lifelong habit of reading. Most parents chase instant gratification through memorization.
How a class actually runs
Quick check of last week’s work and what school set this week.
One sustained task: a long passage or a full writing or reading stretch — 50 minutes without hopping topics.
I mark in front of them: spelling, grammar is specifically important for P1 - S1, and overall meaning, paragraph structure, word selection gets refined from S2 +
They rewrite the weak sections in the same lesson
A brief note to parents on what improved and what is next.
Techniques I use: draft → mark → rewrite; timed and untimed writing so stamina is trained on purpose; reading aloud or annotation on hard paragraphs; history as an argument paper (claim, source, so-what), not a date list. Grammar and vocabulary sit inside the writing, not as a separate worksheet unless the gap is serious.
Lesson length
Usually 1.5 hours. Primary can be 1 hour if focus drops. Exam season or a full essay draft can be 2 hours by agreement.
