PhD in Educational Psychology
Dr. Yap is currently a Senior Lecturer of Psychology at one of the universities in Malaysia. Over the years, he has conducted various psychology seminars and workshops for the students and academic staff. Dr. Yap has published few journal articles and he was previously involved in a national research project. He completed both of his bachelor's degree and master's degree in the UK and his PhD from University of Technology, Malaysia.
My tutoring philosophy is mainly influenced by my university experience in the UK. Back then, our university professors would always inspire us to share ideas on psychology-related matters and things that could be fascinating. They taught us to see the problems from different perspectives and find the answers independently. Ever since I started my teaching career, inspiring young generations to think actively has become my utmost tutoring aspiration. I tend to customise and personalise lessons for every individual as I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Dr. Joel keeps his lessons efficient and engaging, without overwhelming me with too much information. He is patient enough to explain the fundamental concepts of Research Method & Statistics and provides examples to help in my understanding. I will definitely recommend him as a tutor!
Dr. Yap has the ability to teach specifically suitable to the needs of the students based on my personal experience. He is knowledgeable and informative. After attending tutoring classes with Dr.Yap, I am able to navigate my lessons. He is a dedicated and committed educator.
Dr. Yap prepares his teaching strategy is according to my needs. He is knowledgeable and resourceful. He is committed to my learning. I have learned many skills and knowledge after attending classes with Dr.Yap which has helped me in the education.
Joel is a very thoughtful teacher who put a lot of thought into how he presents the material. His lessons were engaging, useful, and he was very patient with me in class always encouraging me to try. Since learning English with Joel, I have become more confident. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Bachelor in Chemical Engineering (Environment)
Hi there! I am Aizat, a Native Bahasa (Malay) Language Trainer where I help ex-pats (foreigners) all around the world to overcome their language learning journey using my unique cheatsheet so that they can practice what they have learned in real life and become conversational within a short period of time. I also have been featured on Brandwithme Asia for my "Art of Learning Languages"
The same proven method from polyglot to learn the language will be used for tutoring. Instead of remembering a lot of words, grammar-intensive materials, you will be exposed to the common sentences from week 1 and the chance to practice it straight away. With the right approach, I believe everyone can learn any language and instil confidence in you so that you will be better in your language learning journey !
Aizat is really helpful and friendly teacher.
He is really patient and his method is different than others.
Good teacher. Heavily recommended.
Aizat is friendly. His teaching methods are very useful.
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.
He is friendly, and his ability to learn languages inspire me to learn better.
Structured classes, focussing on key words and learning and phrases used in conversation. Aizat is very patient and helped me learn at a speed which suited me. This is my first time learning another language, and I was able to hold conversations with me girlfriend within 2 months. I highly recommend Aizat, not only is he a fantastic teacher, but also a very nice and approachable person. I only have positive feedback for Aizat and would recommend him to anyone looking to learn a new language.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts to teach me. I had fun and learned quite a lot with you!
Exceptional and very rewarding. Aizat is very tolerant and makes learning fun and easy.
I've been able to learn and understand what I've been taught so far, with the lessons being enjoyable.

Bachelor of Science (Mathematics), University of Malaya
I graduated secondary with 11A's including A+ for all maths related subjects. I studied physical science in Pre-U and finished with 4.0. My highest qualification is First Class Honours Bachelor in Mathematical Sciences from University of Malaya. Curretly attending Seoul National University Korean Language Program Level 5. Finished Level 4 with 97 marks. (dated 14th May, 2022) I started teaching since August 2015 and has been teaching secondary and tertiary mathematics of different syllabus such as PT3, SPM, UEC, IGCSE, Foundation in Science, STPM, CIE and Edexcel A level. I am very passionate about mathematics and I aim to help in student's understanding towards it. I‘ve completed the Cambridge Marking Workshop, I know what examiners are looking for in a maths exam. I help the good to be better, and the better to be best. For you who see maths as enemy, I'll be there to show the wonders in maths and help you build a friendship :) Special classes I did: Business Math and prep class for MAT
I do not forecast questions as I absolutely against the idea of studying just for the sake of passing exam. I teach to help my students understand how mathematics works and aim to help my students excel in it. I read through questions banks, trial papers, various school exam papers and also past year papers to come up with the collection of questions which I think can help my students the most. I treat my students like my friends and also my kids. I won't brag about how my students perform in their exams, but I promised improvement in understanding. If you are only looking for a tutor who teach you how to score, sorry I'm not the one. But if you want someone who help clear all the question marks on your head when it comes to maths questions, look no further, I'm the one! For Korean Language, as a foreigner myself, I know the best approach in mastering the language as I've been through it myself. Promise to deliver the lesson personalized to each students' needs.
I really like the way she taught us. First, she will give us the definition of the topic and give briefly describe of that topic and the usage of it. She is a patient teacher. She is patience and teaches us step by step and tell us which step can score marks for the exam. She is a person who thinks out of the box and kind.
She is a nice and to be honest the best mathematics teacher ever in my life who taught me how equation is formed, She doesn't teach like what all the teacher did wrong (I speak, you note down, Done). Instead, she taught by giving understanding and explanation which I'm still using her method of teaching to help myself in my uni maths learning. Understanding instead of memorizing.
Her friendliness and her love for Maths. She taught me Add Maths in a simple way and I understood each topic of SPM Add Maths easily. Her fun way of teaching also made each lesson interesting. She guided me to obtain an A for Add Maths in my SPM.
She is a kind teacher. She will try to help the weaker students.
She is an excellent teacher. She teaches with full focus. She has a very good understanding towards maths and add maths and provides ample of exercises.
She explains and teaches us with a lot of details and she comes up with various interesting ways for us to memorize the information. Her teaching technique is very easy to understand and helpful.
Her methods are easy to understand and she tries to help me the best she can when I could not understand any question.
Her teaching style is very easy to understand and the explanations are very clear. If there are questions she is very open to answering and can be easily approached. Higly recommended teacher for me.
The way she explains about the topics we study is really unique.
Excellent in mathematics, I've learned a lot and improved my maths skills by these past few years. I really appreciate that. Thank you!
She is an incredible educator. We can see effectively when she instructing and my outcomes have improved a ton.
A very dedicated and passionate teacher. If a student can understand rather than memorizing, they can do better and can last long in their memory. That's what Ms Gan does. And that is the teaching method I prefer.
Explanation of unsure math topics such as quadratic equations.
I like the way she teaches. Her in depth understanding in Math makes her an excellent tutor. Her workings and explanations are very easy to understand. She could easily explain and solve any math questions. I've improved a lot and all thanks to her teaching. I owe her a debt of gratitude.
I can learn about stuff Teacher wouldn’t teach in school and better understand questions.
Everything is perfect. Thank you teacher.
Thats she gives her own simplified notes to her students, so that they can understand better. She also shows few other solutions not only one solution to solve the question.
She explains everything so clearly and even if you don't understand something she will make sure you really understand it even without telling her about your hesitation.
She is very patient and energetic, making math more fun for people like me who used to see math as an enemy of a subject. she makes class interactive and fun.
Ms Gan is a very patient teacher. She teaches her students with a very sincere heart and with passion towards maths. Am really grateful for her tutoring!
Her enthusiasm makes math class more engaging and enjoyable. She is also always willing to any of my questions and will patiently help when I've any misunderstandings.
Teacher's teaching is very easy to catch. She always makes sure we understand what is going on and doesn't give a lot of homework and when work is put aside, she chats with us often. Her teaching is awesome and I'm sure anyone could grab it.
I like her method of teaching. Miss Jie Xin will use the easiest method/format to help us solve a math question. She is very kind and hardworking. She have tolerance and patients towards all the student that she teaches. She have the ability to make her students have improvement on the subject. She can turn a student's heart towards math even though they don't like it at first. Although Miss Jie Xin only taught me for 5 months, I still feel that she is the best math teacher that taught me. Highly recommend to have her as a tutor. ☺️
Ms. Gan is a wonderful teacher. I enjoy her classes very much as it is not to fast but at the same time not to slow. This allows me to actually understand better. Since I joined quite late into the year, I was not able to go through every chapter with Ms. Gan. However, there is a huge difference when I compare the chapters that she taught me and the ones that I have studied myself.
Ms Gan is a great tutor as she takes the time to ensure I completely understand what is being taught, that is to say the pacing is good. Furthermore, she takes the initiative to find additional information regarding the topic being taught to further enhance my understanding. She has also been really helpful outside of tutoring sessions as she responds quite quickly to any questions I had regarding lessons.
Ms.Gan is a very friendly and kind teacher.I like the way Ms.Gan teaches me ,she uses the simplest and fastest way possible to solve an equation.She make sures that i understand everything i learn that day.
I am really enjoying tutoring with Jie Xin. She is very understanding and her explanation is always clear. If I don't understand something she makes sure to go slower for those topics. She is also very supportive to my math level and always preps lessons according to my personal schedule. She also has easy going personality and its always pleasure to deal with her. Besides, she has really fair pricing.
Great teaching style and friendly attitude! Also Ms. Gan is very sensitive towards the needs of her students. Highly recommended!
Ms Gan is a friendly and patient teacher. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. She also makes sure that I understand everything before each tutoring session ends.
Ms. Gan is extremely friendly and patient as she takes the time to explain areas I'm weak in. She'll find different ways to explain how to answer one question and I find that extremely useful as it allows me to choose which method works best for me. She's extremely responsive when I contact her outside the lesson for extra help which I appreciate so much. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better math tutor!
She’s very patient, fun. She has excellent teaching skills and the best teacher that I’ve ever had!
Teacher is a cheerful and lively person. I don't feel bored in class. Class is fun, teacher is nice and friendly.
Miss Gan is a very kind and patient teacher. She takes time to ensure I understand what is being taught and helps me solve questions in the simplest way. She has made me improve on my maths drastically and it's always fun to be part of her class because she is interactive and always there to help.
Maths used to be my weakest subject before I joined Miss gan's tuition. I used to get between 30-40% in my maths exams and I knew maths is just not for me. After my sister introduced me to miss Gan's tuition my marks improved a lot. I've been learning maths with her for 4 years and I am able to score in my maths exams. Miss Gan made maths so simple to understand and apply it in real life. She also always answered any questions I had. She teaches me in such a fun and encouraging way, that I actually fell in love with the subject! She is very passionate about teaching and is a genuine, kind-hearted person and also makes her students comfortable with her. I am eternally grateful for her!
I remember when the first time I came to her tuition. I didn't know how to do Mathematics in English because I learned it in Malay when primary school. I got a 39 on my first exam before coming to her tuition. After attending her tuition, my marks went to 71. I've always been nervous to ask teachers for more explanations because most of the teachers I've met made me feel afraid to ask questions but she was calm, patient, and friendly. She made me overcome it by teaching it (the Question) step by step. She'll teach each step precisely, and if you don't understand the steps, she'll explain them with multiple examples till you get it. She also doesn't judge you if you're lost in a topic. I'm thankful to my parents to find such a tutor like her as my tutor.
Very patient and everything is explained very clearly. Make sure I understand everything before moving on. Gives examples in the explanation for me to understand something clearer. I don’t hate maths anymore because I actually can understand and do the questions .
Bachelor Degree in Psychology; MBA
Many learners are learning the Chinese language the wrong way, let me show you how to do it right and effectively. I'm a native Chinese and a Chinese language specialist. Having gone through and seen many pains and stresses related to Chinese learning, I can greatly speed up your communication skill and writing skill in Chinese using my customized, step-by-step Fast-track Training program. I'm skilled in creating an interactive platform for optimum learning. For the past 13+ years, I provided practical and fun-filled activity-based learning to all walks of life. I taught classes of different sizes (from 1 to 100), different levels (from beginners to advance; 2.5-65 years old) and different purposes (from daily-conversation to business presentations in Chinese) in Sri KDU international school, language centers, local and international companies in different countries. As a Mandarin Language Specialist, I developed an App called “Chat to Learn Chinese”. Hundreds of students speaking like Chinese natives within 6 months of exposure to my model is legendary. I contributed to Chinese language learning by creating educative articles and videos on digmandarin.com and medium blog. I also do volunteer works (helping refugees to learn Chinese and other subjects) and tutored some special kids with autistic syndrome/ADHD.
For Mandarin: Most of my students were able to speak Mandarin naturally in less than 6 months by using at least 200-600 vocabulary (70-80% understanding). After 13 years of working actively as a teacher in the Chinese language, I discovered these teaching methods: (Pinyin and tones → basic word orders → expressions close to English → expressions not close to English → Chinese Characters). I call it a Fast-track Training that is so effective that my students were able to converse easily in the Chinese language. The class is highly intensive, fast-paced, interactive, practical and fun. For example 1) Talk in Mandarin starting from day one. You will learn the classroom instructions and some practical phrases in Chinese in the first two classes then I will shift to 100% Mandarin gradually. My students were able to express themselves in Chinese in less than 4 classes. 2) Learning Mandarin with or without Chinese characters. You can learn the language by using PinYin (Western letters). Highly recommended for those who want to learn conversation only. 3) Practical first: We will focus on your interested topic/area instead of learning the language in a general way. 4) A powerful tool - role play: I'll pretend to be your Chinese business partner or a waiter and we chat normally. In this way, we can make the language 1000% more practical to you. 5) Customised learning topics and materials. 6) Looking forward to learning the Chinese language with you : ) Just call/text me
He is a very active and responsive teacher with the great knowledge about the subject.I will highly recommend him.
Her teaching style is very communicative-based and student-centered. I was a little worried because it was the first time to learn Chinese. But thanks to Chris, I become more interested in Chinese and motivated to keep studying it as well.
She is an excellent teacher, I learned a lot from her. She comes on time, fun to learn with her, and I improved so much. Unfortunately I have to move out from this country that's why have to quite the lesson otherwise I would have continued to learn from her. I had a chance to change my flight in China, and I could talk in Chinese language with local people and they understood. It made me happy! I definitely recommend her for your tutor. Thank you Chris.
She is a very passionate and dedicated teacher. After having a few classes with her I can definitely see an improvement in my ability to converse in Mandarin. The use of PinYin to teach makes it easy for me to grasp the language faster. She is very patient and always ensures that I understand what was taught. I would highly recommend Chris Lee to anyone wanting to learn to speak Mandarin fast.
Since 2015 teacher Chris has been tutoring both my 9 and 11 year old boys in 4 core school subjects (English, Science, Maths and Chinese). She is always on-time, articulate, kind and patient. Both my kids love her and I can see visible improvement in their school, homework and examination results. I have also personally taken Mandarin classes from her and find that her teaching methodology and approach is very effective. I highly recommend her.
Chris is a very talented and knowledgeable tutor. She is patient and supportive and had a very nice way about her. She came extremely prepared which impressed me. What I loved about working with Chris is that she didn't teach me anything I didn't need. We only focused on the important concepts I'm going to need for my job. A pleasure to work with and definitely a class act. Would recommend to anyone.
Very high spirited even when our enthusiasm is very low.
Chris Lee is very gentle and patient during the learning process. She speaks very clear and slow so the students can catch up all the time and always willing to repeat or answer our questions until we are clear about the lessons. She also has beautiful voice. Her method in teaching is very comprehensive and motivated. We highly recommend Chris Lee for your Chinese language learning.
Flexibility, and very skilled in the art of teaching, able to adapt to different teaching patterns
Chris Lee was patient and unafraid to push my abilities without making me feel frustrated or incompetent. I would recommend her to anyone.
I am a few weeks into my Mandarin classes with Chris and could not be happier with my choice to begin learning this language! Chris' approach is pragmatic and practical which has given me the ability to construct basic everyday sentences in only a handful of classes. I believe that this method of learning is extremely useful and I have already been able to engage in simple talk with Mandarin speakers as well as finally understand what's going when ordering food in a Chinese restaurant. A huge thumbs up to her patience with her students and ability to address any questions I might have in the most clear manner to further enhance my learning process. I'm excited to see my Mandarin language skills progress more and more in the coming weeks!
Chris is an experienced tutor where she would adjust her teaching according to your understanding and what's practical in real life, so you don't need to waste time to force your brain to learn something that you will never use or listening to "wode pengyou zai narli, zai zheli,zai zheli" 100x times. Her teaching is not rigid, and she always there to help your learning.
LLB UK Law Degree, Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP), Advocates & Solicitors at High Court of Malaya

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)
Bachelor of Business Administration
I have years of teaching experience also familiar with national and international school syllabus from Primary to Secondary level for example KSSR, IGCSE, K1-12 and Olympiad Maths. My goal is to deliver good knowledge and bring out the best in students within a short period of time.
I'd first assess and identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in order to customise the study plan and worksheets according to his/her school syllabus. Every student's progress is taken seriously. Hence, I'll use students-approach methods to ensure students are understand and able to complete assignments at ease. I strongly believed that building a solid foundation is always the first key to succeed academically.

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.

His teaching material is useful for my MBA. Mr. Kwan also teaches my 3 children. There's a significant improvement on their English skills since taken the courses. He is patient and generous (in terms of time). If you are looking for a genuine, dedicated and skillful teacher, he is your guy.
He is very dedicated to the teachings. He allots extra time on all lessons to make sure the student really grasps the weeks lesson, making it easy to practice over the week till the next lesson. I am an adult residing in Kuching , Sarawak and he is from KL, yet his online classes are so good that it is like having a real teacher beside you. He uses excellent audio visual equipment for his teachings so all online classes have been extremely smooth and with no communication disruptions. His years of experience serves well as he is able to render the lesson and acknowledge the mistakes instantly and provide immediate rectification. I enjoy my classes with him and hope to learn the piano in record time under his tutelage.
Very thorough in preparation of teaching materials and very attentive to details. I'm currently a student of Master's degree in MBA, studying English with Kwan. The teaching materials prepared are highly useful and relevant to my MBA Course. I can easily understand the teacher's teaching, the teacher communicated clearly and effectively to me. My 3 children, including a secondary school student, are currently learning with Kwan too. He is very patient with them. Lessons are fun and inspiring. Kwan also give me and my children much extra lesson time for each lesson. I and my children can easily understand the teacher's teaching very well. Teacher is able to pinpoint weaknesses, give advices and improve them. Thus, from my point of view, Kwan is very qualified and experience in teaching English to varied English levels of various learners. He is very dedicated and responsible educator who genuinely care about students' learning. I highly recommend Kwan for almost any level of English learning. Bravo!
My 13 years old son, Adam is learning Mandarin with Mr Kwan. Adam is from Chinese mixed family who doesn't speak Chinese. That is why I went trough FB and found Mr Kwan. Mr Kwan makes Adam feels so comfortable and focus on what his teaching. I was impressed with the quality of his tutoring sessions. After the 5 -10 lessons from Mr Kwan finally now Adam can watch Chinese show with me and he understands and can speak Chinese in a very proper way. Adam really enjoy his Chinese class with Mr Kwan. He is really good to make someone focus on his class yet fun to learn!
I am an adult. Working in the automotive sales industry. I am learning Spoken Cantonese from Mr Kwan. The lessons provided is through online video call. It’s been 3 months already since I started to learn from him. Before I join Mr Kwan’s Lessons, my knowledge of Cantonese was completely zero. After a while, I noticed that I could possibly understand my colleagues speaking to each other. it’s not that much, but that is what i can say good progress for me. I feel there is so much improvement week after week. this has been useful in my daily working life. Online lessons from Mr Kwan are very effective. Mr Kwan’s passion, commitment, dedication, patience, flexibility in lesson rescheduling, communication (clarity in lesson delivery), organization (notes/learning material given to me), professionalism (manners in speaking, answering my doubts and replies; timeliness in starting lessons), generosity in extra lesson time given to me in his teaching is way up to the standard and unexpected. His styles of teaching i.e. friendliness, engagement, hands-on & practical approach are very straightforward and easy to communicate. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Mr Kwan to be your Cantonese teacher. I believe his other lessons will definitely be the same standard and teaching style as well.
I am an adult who has been taking piano classes online with Mr Donovan for the past 3 months Engagement during class, very patient and helpful in helping me understanding throughout the class. He is also very flexible in accommodating with my timing besides his busy schedule. I am able to play confidently despite having learned from him 3 months ago. I will definitely pass on the message to recommend him to my friends who would want to take up the piano.
Patient, experience and knowledgeable. He will tell the story of the music /song before I start to learn the song, and analysis score for me, this help me interpret the music deeper when I am playing. He will suggest alternative way of practice the song such as using the block chords method to make the practice more efficient.

In fact, I sat for and passed my ABRSM Initial Grade Piano Exam with the highest ranking of distinction on the first attempt, after having just seven lessons with Donovan. And I am based in the US and often travel to Beijing, China for work purpose. Highly recommended.

Degree in Business Management
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 primary and teenager students.
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 is RM50. For lower secondary school, fee per hour is RM60. For upper secondary, fee per hour is RM70. 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 rate.
My 13 years old son has been taking English online tuition with teacher Michael for about a year. We find teacher Michael to be a really good tuition teacher. He is conscientious, responsible and takes a lot of time and effort to ensure the lesson is effective. Although we have an hour of tuition, he takes time to prepare before the lesson and also marks homework after the lesson so I think he spends double of time we pay for. In addition, teacher Michael also prepares exams for my son to take after every term and sends me the student progress report, so he is more or less like a school teacher! Other than the actual lesson plan, I also like the fact that teacher Michael always takes time to have a short chat with my son, he will find out about his interest, what’s happening to him that week and so extra activities that fit his interest to keep him engaged with the lesson. Kudos to him for that!
TCSOL; CELTA; B.Sc.(Hons.) with Petroleum Chemistry
With an early working background as a trilingual translator, 011-62216066 I was constantly gravitated by the calling of teaching and eventually, by random chances, I was called to teach in formal schools,language academies and tutorial centres. Since then I have been enthusiastically serving a total of 20 years in teaching English,Malay, Chinese covering both international(British, American, Singapore) and national syllabuses, business, drama, literature and customized. The spectrum of my students ranges from multinational private leaners,school students to corporate employees.
The challenge in tutoring is not about `what-is' but `how-to'. As every learner is different, creativity is undeniably essential to enlighten a frustrated student in a fun, refreshing way of learning instead of hardship. This is my primary aspiration. Hence, teaching is an art, rather than a science. As an astute educator, I empathize, motivate, inspire in guiding, coaching and training learners to overcome their learning difficulties. Not limiting to this, I'm always passionately prepared to devise different approaches in handling motivation, discipline and behaviorial issues. To say the least, I have well-recognized track records in dealing with various kinds of leanering issues. Education is a job of giving. You can't give what you don't have. As a person who is eagerly inquisitive and caring, I passionately enjoy giving and sharing knowledge and life experience in my job. Should you have any interest for a better pictures of my teaching, you are cordially invited to visit my facebook (Due to privacy setting, you can add-friend to understand more).As I seldom check my inbox overhere, preferred contact method: WhatsApp/SMS your location, short/long term prior to appointment on phone. Thank you. Happy learning!
We are a Singaporean expat family with 2 kids, struggle finding good tutor for slow learners. I highly recommend Ms. Lee as a tutor. She has been teaching my children for 1 years and she has a wonderful rapport with people especially with my children. Ms. Lee has the ability to connect with them and her talent with teaching simple concepts, as well as advanced topics. Ms. Lee has excellent written and communication skills, extremely organized and most importantly, responsible and reliable. Ms. Lee accomplished these tasks with great initiative and with a very positive attitude.
I'm a Japanese expat in Kuala Lumpur and I was facing critical dilemma of communication in English. Ms. Lee was a responsible tutor and she dedicated to plan and tailored-make a learning syllabus which only for my personal needs - listening and pronunciation. I was a very busy employee so learning progress was not speedy but Ms. Lee was very patient, considerate and professional in guiding and couching me about my difficulties, and i managed to overcome my old habit of strong Japanese accent, at the same time improved in my listening, grammar and vocabulary. Besides, Ms. Lee also helped me a lot with my presentation in which, she is not only having a good background of it, but also a very personable person herself. As a result, I let my wife and son learn from Ms. Lee too. I'm also very thankful for her flexibility in accommodating my busy schedule. She is also punctual person. I highly recommend Ms. Lee if you are looking for a professional private tutor.
We are 2 Korean brothers studying in Malaysia. My younger brother failed in his English accessment test. As a result, he was unable to enroll into the school. We were recommended by a Korean friend to Ms Lee for English and Chinese home-schooling. My brother is a fun lover and enjoy no-study life. I heard that the korean friend's son became looking forwarding to go to the class of Ms. Lee after 3-month of resistance. So we gave it a try. My brother told me that Ms. Lee is a good teacher and he respects her, although she could be strict sometimes. I thank Ms. Lee because she is a responsible, caring teacher. My parents are in Korea, but we can count on Ms. Lee as our home tutor.
I'm a Malaysian business owner with limited formal languages communication skill. I have several English tutors at the same time, but Ms. Lee is the one who can teach me with multilingual explanation. She interviewed me in depth to understand my background so to analyse and gauge a realistic learning expectation with me. She is a strategist. She is also a punctual, dedicated and no-nonsense person. Now, she is also a private tutor for my wife and children.
We are Irish/Malay family with 2 boys. I was recommended by my Singaporean friend to Ms. Lee, learning that her daughter scored full A under the guidance of Ms Lee. We had Ms. Lee for exam preparation. She is a honest and dedicated teacher, who is direct and straight forward to the points in addressing the progress and performance. She is trustworthy and we count on her for the learning matter. Thank you.
I'm Japanese pre-university student in Malaysia, through the recommendation of my parents' friend, teacher Lee helped me a lot with my IELTS and English communication problems. Lessons are very relaxing, easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend teacher Zara Sofia Lee as a personal tutor.
We are Canadian expat living in Kuala Lumpur with a special child. We had tried a few private tutor and we were happy that Teacher Lee managed to handle my daughter who is willful and needs much patience and grace. They got along well after a short while and my daughter turned out like Miss Lee and always looked forward to having more lessons with her.
I managed to fine-tune my bad Japanese accent into standard English and Mandarin under Sofia's coaching.
We have been 30 months with Sofia now, recommended by our neighbour. My kids are both in junior and high school. Started with one subject, then we added other subjects under my kid's request just because my kid would like to her stay longer. She is getting more and more looking forward to the lessons to spend time with Sofia. It was a progressive journey too, filled with happy moments for my kid ( who is rather hard to manage). Sofia's creativity and character are suitable for my kid. I vouch for Sofia.
Bachelor of Contemporary Performance
Hi, I'm an undergraduate degree holder from the Australian Institute of Music, Bachelor of contemporary performance majoring in Vocal. Currently I have 2 years experience in the education field. I am able to speak multiple languages which includes English, Mandarin, Korean, Malay, Cantonese and Hokkien. I didnt purchase a membership so I wont be able to see your contact info. do email me @ [email protected] if You're interested in having classes with me ~ Do include the following info in your email ! 1. Name 2. Age 3. Location 4. Do you have a piano or keyboard at home? 5. Do you prefer online lessons or door to door classes? 6. Whats your aim in learning vocals? (Professionalism or just for fun) The info are necessary for me to customize a suitable lesson plan just for you. ^^ Also email me for more info, if you're seeking for dance instead of Vocals^^ Hope to receive your contact soon ~ Thank you Sincerely, Jenn
I like to start my lesson by listening to my students voice to get an idea of his/her voice range, technique, and style that is suitable for the particular student hence it will be great if the student is able to prepare a song of their choice in any genre that they like and show me during the first lesson. After that is done, I will start by warming up and building a strong base of techniques which includes vocal control, pitch, rhythm etc. This way it will be easier for the students to build more on top of it including the texture, emotions, presentation etc. I do not like to stress my students out and prefer to teach my students by encouraging them and making sure that the students is always in a comfortable state during class, this will allow the students to enjoy their lesson and absorbing the information learnt in class. Other than that, Practising is the main commitment of this journey.
I hope I can learn more from her and I can speak Chinese with her fluently.

The responsibility of a teacher is to bring out the very best in them.
