Mdm Dorothy is the first tutor to ever succeed in helping me achieve band 7 in both writing and speaking. She did not hesitate to criticize me when I made mistake but she was also generous with her praise and this motivated me to work harder as well as to avoid making the same mistake. With regards to writing lessons, Mdm Dorothy did not just correct my grammatical and tenses errors, she also constructed a better sentence by using her own ideas and this helped me to further improve my writing skills. She was also willing to provide her modal answers as references. With regards to speaking lessons, she started with the basics like pronunciation and enunciation. At first I was sceptical with this approach but then it all made sense. As the conversation during the speaking test is recorded, this particular lesson taught me to emphasize the 'ed' and enabled the examiner to differentiate between the past tense and the present tense.

Tutoring Approach

The key to success in subjects such as Economics and Business is to have a thorough understanding of the material. Memorising definitions and concepts word for word is highly discouraged. Questions are constantly changing from year to year, as such, making sure that students have the skill to apply theory to different questions and scenarios is my top priority. I identify major key points and concepts of a chapter, and methodically explain them step by step with breaks in between for questions. I make concepts easy to understand by using relevant and relatable examples. I sprinkle in real life examples, current events and updated statistics as well, which students can use to enhance their answers, especially for essay or extended response questions. Stickman drawings are my forte, and have been proven to be exceptionally useful for students to understand complicated topics such as bonds and investments. Combining relatable examples, current events, stickman drawings and plain English explanations, students are able to grasp concepts with ease. My students are exposed to a variety of past year questions, usually after every topic. They are drilled with every section tested in their exams, commonly multiple choice questions (MCQs), short and extended response questions. I provide detailed feedback on homework completed by my students, mainly for subjective or open-ended questions, and explanations for any confusing MCQs. Closer towards exam periods, I carry out time-based practice, to hone my students’ time management skills, which then allows them identify areas of weakness. I cover topics which the student is not too confident in, so no time is wasted explaining something they already know, unless requested. My lessons are a safe space where students are encouraged to ask questions, ensuring there are no gaps in their knowledge of the subject. I have my own resources and materials, accumulated throughout my teaching career which will be provided exclusively to my students. A key benefit my students have is that they can message me at any time to ask for help outside our tuition sessions.

I've spent 3 years teaching English in China and attended couple exam prep training.

Tutoring Approach

Are you tired of boring and traditional tutoring methods? Well, look no further because I am here to make your learning experience one-of-a-kind! When it comes to my tutoring approach, I like to think of myself as a magician preparing for a grand show. Just like a magician, I carefully plan each lesson to captivate and engage my students. My goal is not only to help them understand the subject matter but also to make learning a fun and exciting experience! To start, I take the time to understand my students' unique needs and learning styles. This helps me tailor my lessons specifically to them, ensuring that they get the most out of each session. Whether they prefer visual aids, interactive games, or hands-on activities, I'm always ready with a smorgasbord of teaching techniques. What makes my lessons truly one of a kind is my ability to infuse humor and creativity into the learning process. I firmly believe that laughter is the best medicine for a dull and weary mind. By injecting a dose of humor, I create a positive and enjoyable atmosphere where my students feel comfortable and motivated to learn. In addition to my playful approach, I also emphasize practical application. I bring real-world examples and scenarios into my lessons, allowing my students to see how the concepts they are learning can be applied in their everyday lives. This not only makes the subject matter more relevant but also helps them grasp the material more effectively. Now let's talk about my tutoring technique for online classes and home tuition. With the rise of technology, I've embraced the virtual world with open arms. Online classes allow me to connect with students from all corners of the globe, transcending distance and time zones. I utilize video conferencing platforms, interactive whiteboards, and various online resources to create an engaging and dynamic learning environment. For home tuition, I bring the same energy and enthusiasm into the comfort of your own abode. Whether we're seated at the kitchen table or sprawled out in the living room, I ensure that the learning environment is cozy and inviting. This relaxed setting allows my students to ask questions freely, explore ideas, and feel at ease while absorbing new knowledge. In conclusion, my tutoring approach is a mix of careful planning, humor, creativity, and practical application. I strive to make each lesson a unique and enjoyable experience, whether in an online class or home tuition setting. So, let's embark on this educational adventure together – where learning is not just informative, but also incredibly fun!

Currently work in an Adventure Team Building company whereby we help international primary or secondary school to organize school program, such as leadership program, team work program, self-development program. We break the traditional teaching method and use activities/ games for learning. I believe games is a great tool to enhance students' interest on learning.

Tutoring Approach

Basically for different student I will use different approach, either they are more towards listening (story telling) or eye-seeing (picture, video)... my strength is to create games that let student play, have fun and at the same time will learn from it. My motto is Play, Connect & Learn. Thus, I always will set a small goal for the lesson before I start.

Of course, students definitely come to CIKGU RASH's profile for the Additional Mathematics subject, right? Cikgu is a dedicated and experienced tutor with 4 years of experience in educating secondary school students, especially in the subjects of Additional Mathematics, Mathematics, and Physics. Well, usually the Additional Mathematics subject is considered a tough one. Many students don't like it. However, I am often requested to teach this subject and I have experience being a "Young Teacher" since my school days.

Cikgu can teach in both Malay and English - so students who are taking DLP classes can also study with Cikgu. Cikgu has its own modules, so students will receive a personal touch from Cikgu as these modules have been simplified and refined according to the latest syllabus. Let's learn with Cikgu!
