Mandarin Tutors in Kuala Lumpur

Education

PhD in Educational Psychology

Experience

Dr. Yap is currently the Senior Lecturer for 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.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring philosophy is mostly influenced by my university experience in the UK. Back then, our university professors would always inspire us to share ideas not only on psychology-related matters but also on things that can be fascinating. They taught us to see the problems from different perspectives and to find the answers independently. Ever since I started my teaching career, inspiring young generations to think actively has then become my utmost tutoring aspiration.  I tend to customise and personalise lessons for every single individual as I believe that 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!

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"

Tutoring Approach

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 !

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.

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.

TCSOL; CELTA; B.Sc.(Hons.) with Petroleum Chemistry

Experience

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.  

Tutoring Approach

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 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.

Materials would be prepared 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.

Cassandra is a great teacher that is able to help me learn Mandarin in a fun manner. Since I’m learning conversational Mandarin, Cassandra makes the classes very interactive. The exercises/practise each week are different which keeps me on my toes and makes class interesting. The role-plays on day to day conversations are fun and it has helped me converse with my Mandarin speaking friends. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy learning Mandarin with Cassandra and I look forward to my classes with her. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn how to speak Mandarin.

Cassandra has been tutoring my 6 year old daughter for a little over 2 months now and it’s neither an exaggeration nor is it premature to say that she’s one of the best tuition teachers I’ve ever encountered. Teaching young children is challenging at best. I think most parents can attest to that. As much as they are inquisitive, energetic and eager to learn new things, they are also generally restless, have low attention spans and get bored easily once the novelty of a new learning experience wears off. My daughter is no different. She’s had some tuition classes over the years but none like Cassandra’s. Cassandra is smart, kind, incredibly patient and connects very well with my daughter. She is able to get my very playful child to sit down and focus on all her English, Maths and Mandarin lessons for the entirety of the class. Barring some breaks in between, that’s a total of 2.5 hours of tuition time which is no small feat. She makes learning fun and engaging. Furthermore, she would try to observe areas my child is struggling and find an alternative approach to her teaching methods. She is very organised and keeps detailed notes on each session for my reference. I’m very delighted with my daughter’s progress thus far and a lot of it is attributed to Cassandra’s impeccable tutoring. I would recommend her highly. She is a gem of a teacher.

Before she starts teaching she makes a review on previous class and I love it. When she's explaining, she gives as much example so that her student can understand. She also provides materials after class which makes it really easy to review afterwards.

Experience

I provide assistance and guidance for English native speaker who intends to enter Chinese school. My specialty is teaching working professionals and adults communicative 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. I have also tutored law students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate studies, as well as preparing students for Malaysian Bar admission examination. 

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)

Experience

I am a friendly, approachable and hardworking individual with an exceptional interest in becoming a tutor and working with young kids. I graduated from University of Bath (UK) with a master’s degree in Pharmacy. Having completed my undergraduate programme and worked in the UK for 3 years, I have strong foundation in English and Sciences and also the ability in communicating with people from different backgrounds.

Tutoring Approach

My approach of teaching will always revolve around the interests of my students and what they want to achieve. Building a rapport with them is also the main key to make them feel comfortable and to get them talking. Test their level of understanding at every process of teaching is also vital and identify the areas the students are struggling with. Most importantly, I also make sure my students have fun while they’re learning!

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.

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 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.

Colin has helped my friend and me on academic IELTS preparation. He is a friend rather than a teacher so we really enjoyed the class. He takes his teaching seriously and indeed a patient person. Other than helping us on the test preparation, he also showed us the resources online for learning English. Thank you for the class and guidance.

Colin is currently teaching my brother & me Mandarin. He is indeed a very dedicated and passionate tutor. He is always punctual, has his materials prepared beforehand and is very efficient. He also encourages his students to ask questions and to speak more with confidence. Apart from that, he is also very patient.

Education

Diploma in management/ACCA

Experience

I have tutored in and off for the past 10 years in accounting at O and A levels mainly 1 is to 1. I do not mind small groups of not more then 4 but students must be roughly about same level as I do not want any student to feel bored or demoralised. If the students are willing to learn and put in effort they will get the results they deserve.

Tutoring Approach

The no of hours needed to master accounting will depend on the child’s own abilities but I will say that to master this subject there are no short cuts. This is a subject that you need to understand every step of the way. If you do not understand 1 part you cannot proceed until you master each step. When I teach this subject I start with the basic double entry system and not the accounting equation as I feel you need to capture their interest first.

My aim as a tutor is to create in my students a deep understanding and confidence in answering questions. I use question and examples to verify understanding continually.
