Mandarin Tutors in Kuala Lumpur

Education

B.A German studies & Linguistics

Experience

I graduated from University Putra Malaysia (UPM) in early 2020, majoring in the German language for my Bachelor's degree, and also studied English Linguistics as my minor. With TDN4 in TestDaF, I am able to teach A1-A2 level of German for beginners. As for English, I scored Band 8 in IELTS and Band 5 in MUET. I am able to teach English as first/ second/ foreign language.  Growing up trilingual in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, I can also assist with learning Mandarin as second/ foreign language. Currently tutoring English, Mandarin and German (including online and face-to-face) since July 2020 for students over 6 different nationalities, ranging from age 6 - 30, with more than 100 hours of online teaching experience. Prior to that, I have 3 months of english teaching experience in a local private education centre on a 1-to-1 basis for students aged 4-14.

Tutoring Approach

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.

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 :)

I have been taking German tuition with Cassandra for sometime, on a daily basis. She tailored the lesson according to my need and request (I have requested for IPA). The lesson and material she provided are highly efficient and effective. Overall, a great tutor.

Her teaching method is very simple and makes the learning fun. Her notes are also easy to read even this is my first time learning mandarin. I can refers to the note when practicing by my own. I'm glad I am learning this language with her.

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.

I have been under her tutoring for several months. She is very passionate and patient in teaching. In addition, she is also flexible and able to tailor the learning according to my needs.

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.

- The class is interesting and interactive. - She will correct and explain to me every time I make a mistake. - She allows me to focus on my weak area. - I am more confident with my English proficiency now. - Definitely can see the improvement.

Education

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 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.

We are Canadian expat living in Kuala Lumpur with a special child.

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.

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.

Education

PhD in Educational Psychology

Experience

Dr. Yap is currently the Senior Lecturer for Psychology at one of the universities in KL. 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!

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.

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!

Bachelor in Chemical Engineering (Environment)

Experience

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. Using the same method, I also help people to learn Basic Mandarin through meetup and private tutoring.    I also have been featured on Brandwithme Asia for my "Art of Learning Languages"

Tutoring Approach

A same proven method from polyglot to learn the language will be used for tutoring. Instead of remembering a lot of words, you will be exposed to the common sentences from week 1 and the chance to practice it straight away. i) Anybody who want to learn Malay ii) Helping anyone who just wants 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 am willing to share to you how to approach the language and instil the same confidence in you so that you will not be stuck alone. Using the same method, I now know more languages than most people. Trust me. if someone asks what is the thing that worth doing it badly, it's language.

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!

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.

Master of Pharmacy (UK)

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. I have an overall band score of 7.5 in IELTS. Working as a pharmacist has also given me the opportunity to play an essential role in supporting my trainees to develop into a competent and confident team player. I also have experience in working with pre-elementary kids by teaching in a mandarin-speaking Buddhist Dhamma School every Sunday when I was back in the country during my summer holiday.

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

There is no shortcut to learning languages, especially Chinese. Building good learning habits and having patience in learning is important. Students will have to communicate their goals and learning methods with me before I structure a proper teaching method for them. I have few beginner student from France, Australia, India, Dubai, they all start from zero until now can speak well in mandarin.

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.

Ms. Heng is a highly passionate and committed teacher. She evaluate my daughter's learning style and customised learning methodologies that suits my daughter so that she learns better. Her face to face interactions with kids are great and she uses different study tools and materials to keep her classes interesting. She put in lots of effort in preparing learning materials and she certainly run the extra miles to ensure my daughter cope well. She is highly flexible and she offers effective online learning and tutoring during MCO and CMCO period through Zoom. To keep my daughter's interest and attention during online sessions, she utilised different programmes to deliver her lessons. She would prepare online quiz, reading materials and assessment modules to help my daughter learn faster. I'm would highly recommend Ms.Heng. Ms.Heng has been tutoring my daughter for over 8 months now and I've seen vast improvement in my daughter's Chinese . My daughter is more confident now and she even love Chinese as a subject.

Bachelor of Contemporary Performance

Experience

I'm a Fresh graduate from the Australian Institute of Music, Bachelor of contemporary performance majoring in Vocal. I am able to speak multiple languages which includes English, Mandarin, Korean, Malay, Cantonese and Hokkien. 

Tutoring Approach

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 learn during class. Other than that, Practising is the main commitment of this journey.
