Tutors in Petaling Jaya

Education

Ph.D in Medical Science, B.Sc. Hons. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Experience

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.

Tutoring Approach

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.

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

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.

I engaged Dorothy in 2016 to coach my daughter in IELTS as my daughter needed a minimum 7.5 for every paper in ELTS to enter the medical university of her choice in the UK. 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. She has helped me tremendously in building a strong foundation in grammar and develop different skills to write both creative pieces and professional pieces. I love how she has helped me realize the importance of grammar and punctuation as these little details have contributed greatly to the flow of a piece of writing. 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. She is a very loving person and I can never thank her enough for helping me achieve my dream of studying medicine. I have changed from an insecure girl who speaks broken English to a young lady who writes with good academic standard.

Education

Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Experience

Hi, I'm Victor! I provide meaningful and interesting educational experiences to students both in Malaysia and abroad in person and also over the internet, providing a hybrid e-learning service to my clients that encompasses numerous entrance exams and a large variety of subject areas. I am a graduate of The University of Chicago's Economics program as well as a beneficiary of the now discontinued JPA Ivy League dan Setara Scholarship, a scholarship from the Malaysian government that funded my studies in Economics in the US.  As a government scholar, I have always dreamt of being able to contribute to the country by educating people around the world, and by learning with me and allowing me to help fulfill your dreams, you are helping me to fulfill my dreams! Before I came to college, I scored 41/45 points on the IB Diploma, 9A/9A's on the SPM, 8.5/9.0 for the IELTS, a 1590/1600 Reading/Mathematics score for the SAT, and perfect scores on the SAT II for Mathematics II (800/800), Chemistry (800/800), and Physics (800/800). I have worked with students on English examinations for migration such as the IELTS(Academic and General), PTE, and TOEFL, admissions exams (SAT/Cambridge and Oxford Admissions Exams), and 12th form/Pre-University examinations (IB/STPM/SAM/AUSMAT/A-Levels), and the subjects that I teach include English 9093, Further Mathematics 9231, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, and undergraduate microeconomics/macroeconomics. I also offer assistance on the IB Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge essay, as well as Internal Assessments.    Over the past four years, it has been my fortune to work with many students from many different countries, to help people in the way I have wanted: Each of you who has engaged me has taught me new things and has led me to think differently. My students have gained 5 full scholarships and admissions to top programs in the UK (Imperial College London, UCL), and in the US (Wharton UPenn, UT Austin, UCSD, IU Bloomington), and I currently teach many other students as well. I am currently available to teach both online classes (any geography) and in-person within the Klang Valley, with a preference for classes conducted near the Jaya One area in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. In addition to tutoring, I also offer admissions consulting to students who are interested in attending top programs in the United States and United Kingdom (Oxford/Cambridge).  Apart from tutoring, I exercise quite frequently and enjoy composing both music and writing, playing music, and acrylic painting/sketching.

Tutoring Approach

I am intentional about creating an enjoyable and productive educational experience in which my students are motivated to succeed. Time management and keeping commitments is a big part of this process, and I expect this of my students, trying to regularly keep in touch with parents about progress. In my lessons, I help my students to develop critical thinking skills through two-way conversations that help them to use their material effectively, examine the practical implications of what they are learning in the real world, and to define and clarify the goals that they are pursuing in life to build their motivation. During my one on one classes, most of my students ask me for specific topic reviews, and students also frequently come to me with practice exams, which I solve on the spot and explain to them. My online classes are usually the same, although they are conducted over Skype and make use of resources like screen-sharing and a digital whiteboard. In both cases, my approach consists of a mutually agreed schedule that is worked out between me and the student that is designed for efficiency, allows us to assess our progress, and helps students to understand rather than memorize by rote.  Students usually request for 2-6 hours per week prior to their exams, and before sessions, we will come up with a plan of what they would like to cover or require assistance with. Having said that, my experience with different exam varieties and student learning styles is extensive, and my tutoring approach tailors to each student accordingly depending on the student's needs first and foremost.   In both my in person and online classes, I use a combination of Google Drive, Skype, and Zoom in order to populate materials to my students as well as solve problems live.  For scholarship interview and admissions preparation, I arrange mock interviews for my students during which I quiz them both on technical and behavioral interview questions, and also help students with tailoring their applications and consistently show their best side to admissions committees through a series of informational interviews and application review sessions. If you engage my services, you will secure my commitment to provide you or your child a custom-made and well-tailored educational experience from start to finish.

Out of all the tutors I've encountered throughout my life, Victor is one of a kind. Aside to being a great mentor, he is very knowledgeable in various fields, from Mathematics to Economics and even Psychology just from the love of reading books (he is also resourceful too). He inspires me to dream big and go through the distance, based on his motivational talks we had once in a while and always motivates me to do my best in what I do. I respect him a lot for his understanding, patience and dedication as a mentor to ensure that his students excel in their studies and that's what I admire most. He open my eyes to a lot of things in life with respect to the importance of education and knowledge that will help optimize my chances to achieve my goals. He's definitely my mentor and my life coach! Thank you Victor :)

Victor is incredibly friendly, engaging, and dedicated while he is teaching. Not only that, he is resourceful with class materials (such as providing past years and examiner reports), he is also very thorough when reviewing the work done for classes. By reviewing my work for classes and giving me the necessary tips and tricks in writing, Victor has helped me improve my writing skills.

Education

I can speak English, Malay and basic mandarin. I have experience teaching for 1 year.

Experience

I graduated from Prince of Songkla University as my bachelor's degree. I have been teaching Thai for more than  2 years in Malaysia. So that I understand how to help Malaysian students learn fast and easily. Moreever, it's not only English that I have used to teach Thai but also Malay and basic Mandarin. I can teach Thai at my clients house or workplace. I can also teach at home, in a local cafe or library.

Tutoring Approach

My Thai classes focus on the students aims (speaking listening, reading, writing). I have many techniques teaching Thai such as "association technique" this technique helps students remember new Thai words easily. Or children learning technique, I believe that this technique is the best because children can speak their own language by 2 or 3 years old. That's because children speak the language without grammar rules so they are free to speak naturally.

Education

Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering

Experience

I have over 5 years of experience in providing both home tuition and in tuition centers, teaching students of varying ability and ages from Primary to PT3 to SPM and private sessions with A-Levels and Year 1 and Year 2 Eningeering Students. 

Tutoring Approach

Brief Overview  I am currently attending my third year of a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) degree at Monash University Sunway. As someone who has had considerable experience, both on a professional and extracurricular basis, in both the engineering and corporate sectors, i believe in cultivating critical thinking toward learning in general, a skill that is instrumental in a world where knowledge increases at an ever faster rate.   Tutoring Methodology  Solid grounding in practice and past examination papers with each topic tutored in will be accompanied by a short test to ensure complete comprehension of a subject.

Experience

I have 10 years of experience in psychology, with 6 years of teaching experience in a university. Therefore, I am able to assist university students at different levels of study with a variety of topics in psychology, including research methods, statistics, and academic writing. Having taught over 3000 students, I tailor my lessons to the needs of each student. I believe that there is always a way to help someone understand even complex concepts, and work with each person to ensure they do.

Tutoring Approach

I engage my students directly in the learning process, where each lesson plan will be tailored specifically to their individual needs. My classes are always interactive, where I will actively involve the student in a discussion of the topics at hand, in order to stimulate their thinking and cultivate a more in depth understanding of the concepts. I also use practice exercises, application questions, and sample exam questions to assess mastery of the subject matter, and prepare students for formal assessments. These exercises are all graded, with immediate feedback given to the student to enable them to understand better the demands of the assessment. My approach to learning is that it is a dyadic process, and I work with my students as a team, where I expect them to meet me halfway in the learning process, which includes timely completion of any homework, punctuality, and active engagement with each lesson. Learning is an on-going process, and I do my best to ensure that my students not only are able to master content, but to learn how to think critically and independently, so that they will be able to become independent learners in their own right moving forward.

Master in Mandarin Teaching

Experience

Hi! I'm Xingmei, a Chinese teacher from China, with master’s degree in Teaching Chinese for Speakers of Other Languages (TCSOL). Up till now, I have 2 years of experience in teaching Mandarin for foreign learners. I am here to provide online Mandarin courses, but face to face learning are also fine if your location is near to mine. By the way, I specialized in Mandarin-related course and I strongly adhere to the notion that when one able to speak that language, it doesn't reflect that he/she is capable to be a language teacher. This is where my credibility came from. I often perform researches and accumulate relevant experiences in this field. I believe that my knowledge and experience is able to enhance your learning progress. I was once a lecturer of Confucius Institute in a local university in Malaysia. Students that I taught are consisted of undergraduate students, staffs from the University and also non-staff candidates. In between, I also taught primary school children for certain semesters’ break. Besides that, I have experience in teaching HSK, Mandarin level 1 to 5, Conversational Mandarin, Mandarin for Speech and Mandarin e-learning courses. As for now, I am a lecturer in China. I can offer you the online course if you are keen to learn. For teaching purpose, I am utilising an online course platform, so don’t worry whether online courses are able to achieve the same effectiveness as compared to physical class. This platform is very useful and "friendly" to users that some of my European students provide positive feedbacks after trying it. I can even show you how to write Chinese characters and you will see everything crystal clear as if you are in a face-to-face session. Couldn't wait to see you in my class 😊 Come join me!
