I'm so upset today.. my tuitees did not do well for their exams.. Am I such a terrible tutor? One of them is related to my bf.. How will his family members look at me? I have lost my confidence suddenly.. I feel that this is really a turning point for me.. Either I change my strategy to teach them or give up and leave and hope there would be another tutor who can teach them better than I can do..

But this would also mean that I have to sacriface even more time and energy on them. Can I afford them when I start teaching? I still need time for myself to breathe.. This is so shitty.. I hate to make this decision.

This really voice down to my philosophy.. I believe I'm born to teach. I wanna make a difference in children's lives. I want them to believe in themselves and guide them in reaching their goals. I want them to know that failure is nothing but part and puzzle of life which will eventually lead to success with the right attitude and mind.

Wow.. I think I feel better after writing all these.. I know what I'm going to do now.. I'll try to apply the strategies which I have learnt from NIE on these students when necessary and try all means to help them. As long as they are still in Primary level, I will not give up!
