Tutoring Approach

Materials would be completely prepared by me and no additional books are required to be bought. Visual-aids, games, interaction, and activities would be incorporated as part of the lesson in order to facilitate a fun learning environment. The speed of the lesson will go according to the student's needs and ability to cope.

A very pleasant and professional tutor. She has been very understanding of my needs in learning mandarin and i could really see her effort to accommodate them as she is well prepared for classes. She actively engages with me throughout the lesson which pushes me to learn more. Personally, I feel she has lots to offer me as my tutor and she makes each class worth it .If anyone is looking for a language tutor, she is definitely one i would recommend. I'm definitely satisfied to have her as my tutor :)

As a language lover myself, over the years, meeting fantastic people all around the world, make me realize expression is always the same. Looking at my friends spend so much money and time, struggling to get through beginner level, inspire me to develop my own method. I would like to help you learning language, going through from the start of the journey together.

Tutoring Approach

A same proven method from polyglot to learn language will be used for tutoring. Instead of remembering a lot of words, you will be exposed to the common sentences from week 1.  i) Anybody who want to learn Malay  ii) Helping anyone who just want to start learning Mandarin or iii) Anyone who still in beginner stage for so long   I believe through Openness that you can learn any language. I willing to share to you how to approach the language and instill the same confidence in you, so that you will not be stuck alone.

Friendly, patient, clear, structured, fun instruction in Malay!! Aizat is a confident and able teacher who is friendly and fun to learn Malay with. Aizat tailors his teaching to my needs as a beginner learning the language for the first time. The lessons progress at a speed that is comfortable for me, allowing me to cement my understanding as I progress. I like the fact that the content of the lessons is structured and has a clear focus/objective, I can see the progression I making. Furthermore, I am developing an understanding of the mechanics of the language in a context that allows me to apply what I have learned in 'real life' situations. I am still having lessons with Aizat and cannot recommend his teaching highly enough!

Aizat is friendly and good-natured. His teaching style is flexible and lets me decide what I am interested in learning. But if you prefer him to take the lead in the content, he will most certainly do that for you.

Tutoring Approach

Summary 1. Language Placement Tet 2. Understand the specific needs of students 3. Design relevant and effective syllabus 4. Deliver lecture and observe the development of learners 5. Make changes when possible according to feedback 6. Make sure that the lecture is delivered in enjoyable and effective manner. For language teaching, it is important to take care of the usage of language (grammar, vocabulary), cultural and social aspects and the pedagodical methods when transfering the knowledge to the students. General and specific usage intended to be used by the students when commanding the language will be taken into consideration. To strengthen the memory and impact of learning, appropriate stimulation method has to be used including activities, graphic etc.  Many people take language learning too easy and think that it can be managed in short time. Unless you are a genius, it's very rare for a person to be proficient in a language with just 10 - 20 hours of learning. Experience and research shown that to complete a typical CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) level will need at least 80 to 200 hours. There is no short cut in learning a language and students have to be patient and know what you want for sure. Or else, it will be a waste of time and money.

Bachelor Degree in Human Development

Experience

I am a tutor with 3P-patience, passion, and professional. I have been committed in the tutorial career for more than 20 years. I used to be a school teacher for both primary Chinese and secondary Kebangsaan school. I know well about the latest syllabus and the latest trend of the exam questions. I can teach well in a lot of subjects, especially those important subjects in UPSR, PT3 and SPM Level. Additionally, I also offer some basic language course--Mandarin and English, for adults. Once you have got me, you can rest assured. After all, I am an experienced and committedtutor with PASSION.

Tutoring Approach

My approach of teaching is to be serious but not to be fierce to the student. I constantly encourage and motivate my students to achieve the best results in exam. I do not impose my students on their study. In fact, I motivate and inspire them. I do not like to "show off" to my students about how smart I am especially in solving Mathematics. I rather explain as clearly as I can to my students and make sure they understand the topics I teach. At the end of the day, students need guidance and motivation, BUT NOT to see a SHOW.

I was trained under an experienced tutor in tuition center. Then I worked for 2 years in tuition center. I handled Chinese, English, Mathematics and Science classes for standard 1 to 3. Later, I worked as a home tutor, based in Kuala Lumpur/Selangor area. I had been teaching Standard 3 to 6 students for the subjects of Chinese, English, Mathematics, Science and Malay. I provide assistance and guidance for English native speaker who intends to enter Chinese school. I also have experiences teaching Basic Adult English and Mandarin, for both Business and General Communication purposes. As I work in legal field and for US government authorities and private sector as an interpreter, I am familiar with official pronounciation of both Mandarin and English language.

Tutoring Approach

 I set out study module enabling student to know what they will be learning in the upcoming classes with me. Then, I conduct a preliminary interview and trial class with student to understand the ability, needs and learning goal, then we work together to finalize the study module and materials according to the students' requirements and aims. My teaching approach varies depending on the student’s needs and learning style. For slow-learner, I will teach them step-by-step to ensure them understand the subjects and topics. I emphasize on understanding the concept, instead of pure memorization. Once the students understand the concept, they are able to think critically and tackle different types of questions and circumstances. I will also then focus on the past year questions to ensure students get familiar with the exam style (if applicable)

Education

Degree in Business Management

Experience

Though my highest qualification is degree in business management, my greatest strength is to build up a potential student who can grow happily with passionate and open minded thinking. Many students failed to deliver in their academic, not because they are stupid or lazy. It is because they have lost direction and teacher failed to build up their interests and confidence level. In the past, I have students from age 10 to 50 years old. Now again I have a few teenager students.

Tutoring Approach

Plan syllabus that suits a student's needs. Open Questions & Answer: discuss, work on one step by one step to check for the student's understanding at which level before proceeding to the next stage. Encourage students to work independently, and write freely based from the project or the material asked. Rephrase a student's question into your own words, be patience, supportive, and encouraging. My philosophy is 'No stupid question or answer.' Respect and Resilience are the keywords to success.        One-to-One tuition rate: For primary school, fee per hour varies from RM45 to RM50 depending on online or at home. For secondary school, fee per hour varies from RM55 to RM65 depending on online or at home. For private primary and secondary school, the fee per hour rate is different.  Any student who takes 1.5 hour per week or from the same family more than two or a group of three from the same level per week will enjoy a special online and at home rate.
