Throughout my years of teaching General Paper (GP), I have come to appreciate the deep importance of this subject in formulating one’s thinking and values. In fact, if approached correctly, I believe that GP can be a powerful platform for many purposes: to learn how to think critically, to evaluate arguments, to appreciate differing perspectives, to know more about the world around us, and to engage both our minds and hearts.

6. MY SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
One year after Irwin’s Study
was established, MENDAKI
approached me to partner
them in their ‘A’-Level
Tuition Subsidy Scheme for
students who come from
lower-income families. I
was most glad to help out
and have since personally
taught GP and also
provided JC tuition
through my other tutors for
many students on this
scheme. In 2012, The New
Paper learnt about this and
wrote a feature story.

7. MY LIFE PHILOSOPHY
One of the quotes that have
continuously guided me in my
teaching is by the poet W.B. Yeats
who said that, “Education is not the
filling of a pail, but the lighting of a
fire.” Indeed, for a content-rich
subject such as General Paper (GP),
it’s easy to focus only on imparting
head knowledge and content
material. But I believe that it is much
more crucial – and efficacious – to
touch the hearts of the students, so
that they naturally grow towards
loving and appreciating the subject.
In fact, a memorable incident was
when one of my ex-students
messaged me to say that before
attending my GP lessons, she didn’t
like to read the newspapers at all, but
after coming for GP tuition, she now
automatically desires to pick up the
newspapers to read and find out
about current affairs and social issues.
