Ron was sick and wasnt at the centre that day so i went to teach the upper primary
taught JW at first but he got scolded for treating me badly (though it wasnt bad at all) and i felt weird to continue to teach him so i let sarah teach him
taught JJ instead -- he's very smart just easily distracted and a little lazy
he was able to figure out the steps towards the answer with just one hint from me though i must say that the sums were rather difficult for his level
he finished quickly after i nagged at him to do instead of looking around
so he packed up after he had completed
so i went on to teach a p4 top student there doing p5 work
not much help needed from me though
she was unsure with 2 questions in section B of the mock paper so i tried solving while she continued with the other questions
could see that she was very focus in finishing her work and didnt want to waste any time
even i took some time to finish the 2 questions, one of which i didnt quite understand the question (same as the topstudent) so i was rather unsure about the answer
we checked whether our answers were the same for both questions and ta da -- it's time for her to go
two other guys approached me regarding "fill-in-the-blanks" question which requires you to read through the entire passage and the answers in the box provided for you to choose before being able to answer all of them correctly
however, they were all in a rush so they hurried me
i let them redo the corrections themselves then i would check whether they are correct after that
in their hurry to finish i dunno whether their answers were correct as i didnt manage to read through everything, but simply see if the sentence structure was smooth with the choice they made
hope that i didnt cost them any more mistakes ...
