Ph.D in Medical Science, B.Sc. Hons. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
Have been teaching Chemistry for SPM, IGCSE, AISM, GCSE (9-1), STPM, A-Levels, CPU, IB, CIMP, SAT, AUSMAT and Foundation levels since 2009. At present also tutoring three degree students for Organic Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis modules. Significant improvement have consistently been achieved. Most of my students scored A* and A+ in Chemistry for IGCSE and SPM respectively and distinction in their Pre-U level Chemistry. I provide one to one home tuition, group classes, crash courses and online classes.
I cater my classes customized to students learning rate, understanding level, and their learning style. Will complete their syllabus three months before their major examination. I will provide them intensive revision classes nearing examination and practice past year trial papers with them nearing trials. A significant improvement is guaranteed. Beside one to one/ group classes, I also provide online classes via Skype and Zoom (mainly for those who are not in KL/ Malaysia). Many students have found this mode more useful as they are able to record the entire class session and rewatch whenever necessary. Whichever method chosen, I can assure a custom made and well tailored education plan for yourself/ your child with guaranteed improvement.
Very friendly and good in explaining.
She gives very thorough and detailed explanations in a way that is easy to understand and her classes are never boring.
Very helpful, kind and a brilliant tutor. She has a deep understanding of the subjects she teaches and she has mastered the way to teach various students from different backgrounds including me.
She is using her own style and notes. She has an original style of teaching and explains in simpler terms. She has a fun personality which keeps students alert during long periods of class.
She's funny and it is very easy to talk to her! she makes learning fun
Joanne taught my first son a few years back and she changes his perception about chemistry and he got A* for his IGCSE paper. Now Joanne is also teaching my second son and he agrees that Joanne is the best Chemistry teacher as she always is able to deliver complicated topics in a much easier way. Highly recommended
I'm really impressed with Sylvia Joanne of IB HL Chemistry and mode of delivery, I'll highly recommended she to parents whose kids need help with IB chemistry . My son had a lot of question and needed help to understanding basic concept , Sylvia Joanne not only clarified his understanding, but also developed a really good rapport with him that has strengthened his confidence .
She is someone who I can communicate easily with. I am not afraid to ask her questions and she teaches in detail. She goes through everything thoroughly and she really prepared me for my IGCSE exam. Because of her intensive tuition classes, I have done very well for my IGCSE chemistry.
All the classes were really good, for topics i had trouble in she would prepare her own notes for me and make me understand really well step by step from the basics. Her explanations were very easy to comprehend. Furthermore, she would make time to have extra classes when I needed and, she knew the A- level syllabus very well and what key points to remember for the exam questions in past papers.
She made the class a safe environment to learn in. Whenever I got a concept or a question wrong she will patiently explain. The class was always very interactive and fun allowing me to not be as tense. With her help, i can say that my grades improved significantly during my A2 year as that’s when she started teaching me.
Everything she says is clearly understandable. Her teaching style is very effective. She makes sure I understand why and how about chemistry instead of making me memorise information.
Humbleness and relatability towards the students. Class is always lively, cheerful and informative. She's knowldegable and fun at the same time, what a cool combo! I'm very glad to have met this person, not just a teacher to me, but a friend :)
Friendly, easy to communicate with, patient and good in explaining concepts in an easy and understandable manner. Classes were always interactive, fun and never boring. Sylvia prepared me well ahead of my IGCSE and pre-u exams which led to me achieving an A* in chemistry.
Awesome tutor. Very well versed wirh content and her online lessons are extremely effective. Very patient as well when explaining difficult concept. One of the best tutor out there.
Dr Sylvia is an exceptional teacher. She explains concepts clearly from a fresh perspective and takes the extra effort to make sure students understand topics. Her notes are intentional and concise as well so that students are well-covered before exams. Even though I had a hard time with chemistry, Dr Sylvia always makes it fun and simpler to learn.❤️
Experience was good. Explains concepts well. Improved in the subject.
All my classes were online since we started during the MCO in 2020. Since then my grades have drastically improved thanks to Ms Sylvia’s help. She taught me well and made me enjoy doing Chemistry

My daughter had previously obtained 8, 7.5, 7 and 6.5 before she was tutored by Dorothy. Dorothy was quick to recognize her weakness (essay paper) and gave my daughter a lot of exercises for practice, always telling her the reasons behind the mistakes besides just marking the papers. Practise makes perfect. After two lessons per week over a couple of months, my daughter achieved the min 7.5 for all papers in her IELTS.
Miss Dorothy is a very professional, patient and experienced English teacher. She is able to identify people's individual weaknesses in English and provide assistance to strengthen these weak points.

Besides, her ability to analyze and understand the marking criteria of various assignments has allowed me to score very well in IELTS (individual band 7) and every English writing test in college. Apart from that, I am very thankful for Miss Dorothy's patience and friendly approach as they have enabled me to learn English in a comfortable environment.

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.
She was able to point out my weaknesses accurately and worked it out to prevent its occurences in my essay by giving a lot of educational materials / exercises. She has systematic apporaches to let me understand my English writing skills better, improve my level of language proficiency and it had helped me to achieve my desired score in IELTS.

Degree in Mechatronics Engineering
I am currently tutoring at Monash University in the field of Engineering. I have about 3 years of teaching experience including teaching pre-primary, primary as well as Form 1 to 3 in the field of Science and Math. I am fluent in English as well, and I have experience doing research in engineering for Universities.
Depending on what I am teaching, for universities or programming/engineering based subjects, I usually create powerpoint slides for my tutorials to better help the students understand the lesson. As for teaching school children, I usually spend some time at least a day or so to prepare and ensure I know the material. That way I can better prepare simpler ways of understanding certain aspects of the lesson especially sections that require more focus.
Bachelor Degree in Applied Geology
I can relate sciences to real life examples, observations and sci-fi movies in hopes of stimulating interests in students. Interest is the best motivator in learning science subjects. It is important to set a good foundation in science, great understanding of scientific concept which will serve them better later in university life and beyond. I have graduated from University of Malaya in Bachelor Degree in Applied Geology. I have 4 years of tutoring experience.
Students will be given my own notes. It will starts will explanation of a topic and followed by a few short questions to test the student's understanding. Classes will be interactive with lots of questions to students for me to access the student's understanding.
Bachelor of Commerce, Economics & Finance (University of Melbourne), Master of Commerce, Applied Economics & Finance (RMIT University)
Lecturer in Economics and Business Management & Enterprise, AUSMAT/WACE syllabus (Sunway College) Lecturer in Economics, AUSMAT/WACE syllabus (MCKL) Teacher, Economics & Business Studies, IGCSE (Honsbridge International School) Casual Private Tutor, Economics, Finance & Econometrics, (Self Employed, Melbourne, Australia)
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.

It brings me absolute joy to see the children I tutor feel excited to learn, even if it's just as simple as reading A B C loud and clear!
I have learnt to grasp a child's attention and help them realise that learning is not a chore but it can be a fun thing as well! I find this extremely important for young children especially when they have such short attention span. I prepare my own learning materials tailored to what the child needs & what's best according to their learning style.

My coaching journey has so far taken me to various challenges in meeting the learning needs of English users among schoolchildren, undergraduates and professionals. Over the years, I have coached English learners of all ages, local and expatriate professionals, business undergraduates, international school students, and IELTS and MUET candidates to help develop their: American English British English General English Conversational English Spoken English Written English Business English Academic English
With 25 years of English learning experience, my approach covers all the essentials and principles that are integral to fulfilling one’s linguistic potential. As my English was extremely poor at the initial stage of my development, I had to take on countless challenges in learning the language from scratch. Knowing how to make this journey a success has empowered me to inspire those looking to make a similar leap. Using learning materials that are mostly sourced from the Internet, every lesson aims to address what the students lack fundamentally and subsequently help them acquire the skills required to use the language effectively. Unlike conventional classes that focus on students’ short-term needs, the objective here is basically to make students better users of the language in the long run. For example, the discussion that follows the completion of a Cambridge Primary Checkpoint or KS2 SATs reading comprehension worksheet is not a simple Q and A session where the correct answer to each question is given. To strengthen students’ competence in tackling any reading comprehension questions, I offer constructive feedback on their work, explain the right approach to answering these questions, and make key suggestions for improving their word choice and sentence construction. Such extensive input invariably helps students improve their grammar, vocabulary, and listening, reading, speaking and writing skills. But the biggest difference between my approach and others' is probably the sole focus on promoting an organic and holistic acquisition of the language. This mindset is reflected in each and every learning activity that my coaching covers. The best part is, most of these activities are actually done before or after the weekly lesson. That means when you pay for one session, you are essentially getting a week's worth of learning. Ultimately, no matter what your initial purpose of taking my lessons might be, the end goal is to reinforce your language foundations so that in the foreseeable future you can use the language effectively in any situation—whether for exam, coursework or business purposes. And perhaps more importantly, you can continue to work on your command of the language through self-study once you have grasped the basics and developed the right attitude to learning—saving you a large sum of fees in the long term.
No matter where you are in your English learning journey, Jion will definitely be able to help you improve. Thanks to his friendly personality and fluent English, the lessons are fun, interesting and easy to follow. But what I like most about him is his ability to inspire you to keep learning and growing.
Whether it's face-to-face or online, Jion puts a great amount of effort into coaching his students. His passion for the English language is inspiring. When I first approached him for guidance on my IELTS, I was hoping to get some quick tips on how to improve my writing. To be honest, due to the heavy workload I was dealing with, I was looking for something that could make my preparations easier. Surprisingly, Jion told me from the start that we wouldn't focus on the answering techniques. I thought that wasn't a good idea because I was struggling a bit in the previous writing paper. But I gave it a try anyway. Thank God it turned out to be the right decision. Instead of spoon-feeding me with things that I already knew, he made me see the whole picture of how to write better. For example, he showed me how to convey and organize my ideas, and explained a few ways that I could use to make the writing more interesting. All that was really helpful. Without his input, I might not have achieved the score I wished for. And I'm really grateful to Jion for making me realize that there's no shortcut to improving my writing skills. It's something that I need to continuously work on. Thank you so much for your time and effort, Jion!
Jion's excellent command of the language and willingness to share his knowledge are evident in his approach to language coaching. Regardless of the difficulty of the topic, he has a canny ability to explain it in a comprehensible and compelling way. When coaching undergraduates in academic writing, showing them how to present a logical and convincing argument, his grasp of linguistic nuances and attention to detail are particularly impressive.
With so many websites giving free English learning tips these days, I thought it wouldn't be necessary to get a tutor. But after taking Jion’s one-on-one lessons, I changed my mind. For a busy working professional like me, I always wanted to improve my English without filling my schedule with too many lessons. His approach was really helpful in that regard. He shared with me plenty of tips on how to practice my English skills by myself. Wherever I go, I'm now able to use every opportunity I have to improve my English further.
Jion is a great English language coach. I like how he makes everything easy for me to understand. The detailed explanation also shows his dedication to teaching. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an experienced English speaker.
Jion is so fluent and confident with the English language. He helped improve my grammar with patience, teaching me how to change the sentence structure to make it more native-like. Also, he gave me many useful tips on academic writing. It was an excellent learning experience for me. I really appreciate his work.
I like Jion’s approach. He always shares with me his opinions on my daughter’s work. For each essay, he also shows her what she must do to improve. His comments are very useful!
Jion's grammar and writing skills are very good. His advice helped me a lot and he was willing to explain everything in detail. I'm so glad that I can now write with confidence!
Jion is very thoughtful. Even after the lesson is over, he still gives Joanne suggestions on how to improve. His concern for the student's learning progress is great to see.
I’m so happy that I took Jion’s lessons. The tips that he shared with me were really useful. He were very helpful in answering my questions too. Overall, I truly appreciate what he taught me.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in psychology
I am a teacher, formerly a senior teacher at English House. I have produced excellent results with my students there. I have 11 years experience in teaching adults. Also, I taught English to children (including teenagers) for 5 years, at English House and at homes for underprivileged kids. I was previously a top student at Garden International School and Epsom College in England.
I focus on 3 areas: 1. Helping children (including teenagers) improve their grades 2. Proficiency in the English language for adults and children 3. Helping children weak in the English language improve and increase self-confidence. I have assisted children from National and International schools in improving their grades. Students who failed their exams improved to passing grades, students with C's improved to B's, and B students became A students. I help adults and children clients improve their written and spoken English. I use effective techniques to help them improve their grammar. I also can help them improve their essay writing, critical thinking and creativity. Having been a top student in my studying days and having lived in England, I have the experience to be of help. I also have a special skill at helping children students weak in English and who have poor self-confidence improve. For example, one of my teenage students was failing all his subjects badly, including English. After just over a year with me, his English grade improved from an E to a C. Despite receiving tuition from other teachers in other school subjects, he continued to fail in all subjects except English. He became more self-confident. I also provide added value by helping adults and children manage stress better, if they are open to it. I do this by sharing a psychology technique called mindfulness. My clients have responded well: I've seen children's focus and grades improve. Adult clients report managing stress better and being more positive.

Thanks!
My students love my classes because of the way I relate textbook concepts/theories with real life applications and how I decipher them into something that even a primary school student would be able to understand; they always tell me that their teachers have never make things this easy to understand. Mathematics and Statistics, once you understand them, you will see the point of learning them and know how much sense they could make! Besides, when it comes closer to exams, I'll focus on teach techniques or smarter ways to hack the marking scheme! I plan lessons according to student's need eg what they are weaker in, how do they prefer to learn, the pace etc; in short, I respect and communicate with my students all the time.
Elaine helped me with my UNI Statistics subject. She's very good at explaining the ideas behind the formulas and make them very easy to understand. She's very friendly and helpful, even outside of class time.
I took Econometrics with Ms Elaine.She shall teach you from scratch.There are things you understand in lay man's term and she will guide to explain in formal/exam format way.Students might recall just a snippet of certain topics but when you explain to her on just that small part,she help you recall the whole topic. She'll explain the rationale of the formula and she knows exactly what each detail means.She'll relate the formula with the graph so you understand what the graph means and you know how to read the graph. She simplify the method to calculate the formula such as substitution/differentiation (that we learn from SPM/GCE). She shall remind us that the calculus is not complicated at all, it seems complicated because we panic too much.

I like how she understands her students very well and try to help us in anyway she could possibly have. All of her notes were very helpful to me.
