Heh heh... ...

Well, just to give you a quick update of what happened yesterday.

I tutored a student called PF. He is smart but quite lazy as he refused to even read the question and just shrugged it off by saying, "I don't know how to do." He is not in the mood to study as he fiddled with his pen at one moment and at the next moment he was chatting with his school mate.

When I asked him which part of the question does he not understand, he will reply by saying'I don't understand the whole question." I explained to him step by step. I even drew out the model diagram as he could not even be bothered to draw it out by himself. I told him that this particular question can be solved by using algebra. He was reluctant to use algebra, perhaps he is not good at it or others.

After attempting a few questions , he packed his bag and ran off to play table tennis. The teacher spotted him and asked him to show her his practice paper. The teacher refused to allow him to play as he has yet to finish his work. By the order of the teacher, he has to complete the piece of work before going off to play. His face turned sulky and ' black' almost immediately. Fortunately, he became serious and did the remaining questions properly.

I also tutored M. He is a good student. He understands concepts quite easily. He even remembered what Sarah has taught, which is the '11 times table'. I revised with him on the topic called"Fractions". Basically, I revised with him on proper, improper and mixed number. He recalled quite quickly. Next, i taught him a new topic on mass and length. I taught him on the conversion for mass. For example, 1kg=1000g.
Subsequently, I gave him examples to do and he know how to do but I think that sometimes he is quite careless.
