With regards to writing lessons, Mdm Dorothy did not just correct my grammatical and tenses errors, she also constructed a better sentence by using her own ideas and this helped me to further improve my writing skills. She was also willing to provide her modal answers as references. With regards to speaking lessons, she started with the basics like pronunciation and enunciation.

As the conversation during the speaking test is recorded, this particular lesson taught me to emphasize the 'ed' and enabled the examiner to differentiate between the past tense and the present tense.

Experience

Whenever we talk about experiences, what counts is the quality rather than the quantity. The Englishire project has given me ample opportunities to help English learners of all ages master the language.

 

Some of my coaching adventures in recent years include:

  • coaching non-native English speakers to help develop their language skills, grammar and vocabulary
  • coaching local and expatriate professionals to help improve their business and conversational English
  • coaching business undergraduates in academic writing to help nurture their content management skills
  • coaching candidates taking English proficiency tests to help strengthen their language foundations
  • coaching schoolchildren to help foster a growth mindset and a lifelong learning culture

Be it directly or indirectly, each of the above has helped refine my approach to language coaching.

Tutoring Approach

Inspirational and educational, the Englishire approach is based primarily on transformative, intuitive and collaborative learning.

Fueled by everything that I got from my 27 years of experience in language learning, Englishire only has one ultimate goal in mind: create an environment that promotes your language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) so that you can gradually pick up the English language the natural way.

Rather than bombard you with tons of information that you can’t relate to, every single activity in Skilletro uses context to facilitate learning.

By getting quality exposure to real-life examples and scenarios, you’ll have a much better idea of how to use the language in everyday situations—whether for academic or work purposes.

Jion is a great English language coach. I like how he makes everything easy for me to understand. The detailed explanation also shows his dedication to teaching. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an experienced English speaker.

Winnie

With so many websites giving free English learning tips these days, I thought it wouldn't be necessary to get a tutor. But after taking Jion's one-on-one lessons, I changed my mind. For a busy working professional like me, I always wanted to improve my English without filling my schedule with too many lessons. His approach was really helpful in that regard. He shared with me plenty of tips on how to practice my English skills by myself. Wherever I go, I'm now able to use every opportunity I have to improve my English further.

Dr. Ng

Jion's excellent command of the language and willingness to share his knowledge are evident in his approach to language coaching. Regardless of the difficulty of the topic, he has a canny ability to explain it in a comprehensible and compelling way. When coaching undergraduates in academic writing, showing them how to present a logical and convincing argument, his grasp of linguistic nuances and attention to detail are particularly impressive.

Sue

Whether it's face-to-face or online, Jion puts a great amount of effort into coaching his students. His passion for the English language is inspiring. When I first approached him for guidance on my IELTS, I was hoping to get some quick tips on how to improve my writing. To be honest, due to the heavy workload I was dealing with, I was looking for something that could make my preparations easier. Surprisingly, Jion told me from the start that we wouldn't focus on the answering techniques. I thought that wasn't a good idea because I was struggling a bit in the previous writing paper. But I gave it a try anyway. Thank God it turned out to be the right decision. Instead of spoon-feeding me with things that I already knew, he made me see the whole picture of how to write better. For example, he showed me how to convey and organize my ideas, and explained a few ways that I could use to make the writing more interesting. All that was really helpful. Without his input, I might not have achieved the score I wished for. And I'm really grateful to Jion for making me realize that there's no shortcut to improving my writing skills. It's something that I need to continuously work on. Thank you so much for your time and effort, Jion!

David

No matter where you are in your English learning journey, Jion will definitely be able to help you improve. Thanks to his friendly personality and fluent English, the lessons are fun, interesting and easy to follow. But what I like most about him is his ability to inspire you to keep learning and growing.

Tutoring Approach

The key to success in subjects such as Economics and Business is to have a thorough understanding of the material. Memorising definitions and concepts word for word is highly discouraged. Questions are constantly changing from year to year, as such, making sure that students have the skill to apply theory to different questions and scenarios is my top priority. I identify major key points and concepts of a chapter, and methodically explain them step by step with breaks in between for questions. I make concepts easy to understand by using relevant and relatable examples. I sprinkle in real life examples, current events and updated statistics as well, which students can use to enhance their answers, especially for essay or extended response questions. Stickman drawings are my forte, and have been proven to be exceptionally useful for students to understand complicated topics such as bonds and investments. Combining relatable examples, current events, stickman drawings and plain English explanations, students are able to grasp concepts with ease. My students are exposed to a variety of past year questions, usually after every topic. They are drilled with every section tested in their exams, commonly multiple choice questions (MCQs), short and extended response questions. I provide detailed feedback on homework completed by my students, mainly for subjective or open-ended questions, and explanations for any confusing MCQs. Closer towards exam periods, I carry out time-based practice, to hone my students’ time management skills, which then allows them identify areas of weakness. I cover topics which the student is not too confident in, so no time is wasted explaining something they already know, unless requested. My lessons are a safe space where students are encouraged to ask questions, ensuring there are no gaps in their knowledge of the subject. I have my own resources and materials, accumulated throughout my teaching career which will be provided exclusively to my students. A key benefit my students have is that they can message me at any time to ask for help outside our tuition sessions.

Education

IELTS 7.5; Degree in Chinese Studies (NTNU Taiwan); Chinese into English Translator (NAATI Australia)

Experience

As a translator, I know how the Chinese and English languages are structured. When Asian English speakers speak or write, I understand where their mistakes come from. Similarly, when non-Chinese speakers speak and write Chinese Mandarin or Cantonese, I can identify the origins of their sentence structure errors. While studying in Taiwan, I assisted non-Chinese speakers from various countries in learning the Chinese language, and provided private English tutoring to help locals refine their English skills. My ability to navigate both worlds enables me to be culturally sensitive and competitive.

Tutoring Approach

On English learning, there is an abundance of language learning resources to learn from: newspapers and magazines, books and comics, music and drama. For students, I prefer using Singapore English materials as a basis or a bridge to handle exams in Malaysia and IELTS exam at college level. I would encourage them to type to submit their writings. For working adults, I will focus on their needs to handle work and daily life. Task-specified learning is also good, such as being able to read and understand international news, fictions and non-fictions, etc.

Look no further if you are searching for a home tutor to guide your little one in learning during their formative years. I would say that as parents we were fortunate enough to stumble upon Ms Yeoh's profile, and she definitely exceeded our expectations. One of the things that our 4 year old daughter looks forward to now are her lessons with Ms Yeoh. Not only is Ms Yeoh engaging during the lessons, she has an ability to make learning simple so that it becomes enjoyable.

I am delighted to write a review for Ms. Yeoh, my 2-year-old son’s teacher. Ms. Yeoh has proven to be an exceptional educator who possesses all the qualities one could hope for in a teacher. Ms. Yeoh’s dynamic and enthusiastic approach to teaching stood out. She creates a vibrant and nurturing learning environment where children feel encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. Her creativity knows no bounds, as she consistently introduces innovative activities and games that captivate the children’s attention and stimulate their curiosity.

She made different lessens depend on student level. Ms. Yeoh teach my kids who were at very beginning of English studying. She had a lot of materials for class, board game, toys, printed materials. My kids liked her lessen very much. With my elder daughter (10 y.o.) she discuss different relevant topics and the play board game. With younger daughter they play role-game and board game. It was excellent for our school break period to boost English for kids. Thank you very much.

I would like to thanks you for your guidance in IELTS preparation. I have been in a complete lost about many things in IELTS exam components , until I’ve met you. In Listening, you gave me tips and tricks, in Reading you improve my understanding, in writing I’ve learnt the correct format, organized my contents and how to use an academics words. In speaking , I’ve learnt some new topic and how to understand and answer within the topic. With a countless grammatical error that you’ve corrected me I am a better person in learning English. Oh my dear teacher thanks ? I wanted you to know, how I felt better in my confidence to face exam tomorrow. With God bless , I hope I will pass with a great band score. God bless you teacher! Love yaaaa.

Thank you so much Dr. Annithaa teacher. I am writing to express my deepest appreciation for your incredible dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to teaching me for the Muet Examination. Your patience and willingness to go extra mile did not go unnoticed, whether it was spending extra time after class to clarify my doubts and life related things ( how to be passionate doing one thing that you love , love towards pets, how to handle arrogant and rude people around us) it is beyond exceptional. Not gonna lie our bond especially when it comes to dogs made us more closer together ? I am forever indebted to your guidance. May god bless you and I am thankful to god that I met a successful role model and kind-hearted person like you still exist in this cruel world. I will always keep in touch with you teacher.

Faizul

Studying with Dr Annithaa brought a lot of happiness in my life. Dr. Annithaa is not like any other educators whom I met throughout my life journey. When I first met her, my first impression is to understand that she was just like any other professional educator, but I was wrong. The reason why I am saying this is because Dr. Annithaa is much more than just a teacher to me. I adore and take her as a second mother to me. She is a very strict educator yet very loving. She care about her students and make sure to impart Top World Class Education. Studying with Dr Annithaa can be fun. As I mentioned earlier, she is very strict, yet I can joke around her as she is very funny too. We also share common interest. Whenever I have anxiety, she will divert my attention into something productive to give me lots of confidence because initially I thought that I would fail my fail as I was not confident of my level. This little things is what made me to appreciate Dr Annithaa. I never met any educators who would go this far to make me comfortable in class. Oh. I forgot to mention that she made one of the best coffee every time in our class and sometimes orange Sunquick if she runs out of coffee. Although she is extremely busy, she doesn't forget to make a cup of delicious coffee for me. I would highly recommend students to study with Dr.. Annithaa where your learning process can turn into a beautiful experience for you, not just because students can be comfortable around her but she is also a very dedicated individual in her tasks in contributing the best world class education to her students. Dr Annithaa, may God bless you for all that you have done not just for me, but to all your students in helping them to achieve their dreams in life.

She is a great teacher in terms of motivation, I love about that. If we are in troubles she will pay attention about that and give us solutions, she had immense of idea because of her experiences. However, my suggestion for MUET candidates who want to gain result band 4.5 and above, you need to be at least band 4 level to catch up with Dr. Annitaa’s 16hours teaching package. By the way, I got my MUET result: Band 4. I learnt widely speaking patterns & improve my listening skills because of her fluency & expertise in speaking English. Even though I study MUET with her, I would say she is a great teacher especially in IELTS, I learnt immensely in terms of attitude from her.

Dr Annithaa is very lovely kind teacher. Back in 2019, I’ve struggled a lot in finding the best teacher to help me prepare my upcoming IELTS exams. I went to few other teachers before I met teacher Annithaa. Unfortunately, I progressed nothing with other teachers. But with teacher Annithaa, within 2 months I could say, I have improved a lot in terms of writing, speaking, listening and reading (IELTS) and even feel more confident to sit for the exam. I am now just graduated from one of universities in the UK and currently working in London. I knew i wouldn’t have passed my IELTS exams at first place without assistance from Dr Annitthaa. I’m grateful I found her in MyPrivateTutor, plus she is very lovely kind teacher I’ve ever had. Thank you so much teacher Annitthaa

Thank you so much teacher for all your support during my IELTS journey.

Wendiyawati

At first I could not speak English because I did not have much vocabulary in my brain. After I met you I knew a lot of English that I never knew like words that were high level English etc. I studied with you to prepare for IELTS and I just got results for my IELTS and maybe it hasn't been a fortune because I failed my test but it wasn't because of who taught me but it was because of my ability that only got there. I do not blame anyone for this problem , I only blame myself because I did not try enough on this issue. I am very lucky to meet you teacher, you are like my mother, taking care of me very kindly and patiently. good luck to your life teacher.

Reem

Dr. Annithaa is the best English teacher in the world. I have tried many teachers before but nobody could helped to score the required band in IELTS except her. She is the right choice and the solution for IELTS constraints. I strongly recommend her, she is the best in terms of education as well as she is very friendly and humble.

Mt

I would highly recommend her to all students because of her professional way of imparting knowledge to students where I personally have experienced her way of teaching. She gives students detailed information about each and every topic in class. I am indeed very lucky to have studied with her and she has such powerful strategy to make students get a very high score band for IELTS.

He has the most patience in teaching from any other teacher I know. Any math or add math questions can ask him, he would be glad to teach you, his explanation is really clear and understandable👍. I would ask him to teach me more for further math in the future.

Ian Tan

In a nutshell, you really helped me out by understanding where and what I didn’t know! W/no prior add math, you had to essentially teach me the whole syllabus within 2 months. It was a struggle at first but you helped break down different topics into easily understandable lessons 😁 And even though later on in the more challenging parts of A-level math, you would take the time to go over the chapters and show me the different ways to tackle problems. It’s hard to say just how much your help has pushed me through my course! Here are my results: A-level Maths: A* A-level Further Maths: A

Although I started out with a strong dislike of maths, Mr Edmund helped me find joy and confidence in it. His determination to teach us to truly understand the material, and not simply answer the exam questions, is what sets him apart from other maths teachers I've had. His patience and resilience with my classmates and I (despite our incompetence at times) was admirable, and I'll always be grateful for the knowledge I've learned from him.

Tutoring Approach

My students love my classes because of the way I relate textbook concepts/theories with real life applications and how I decipher them into something that even a primary school student would be able to understand; they always tell me that their teachers have never make things this easy to understand. Mathematics and Statistics, once you understand them, you will see the point of learning them and know how much sense they could make! Besides, when it comes closer to exams, I'll focus on teach techniques or smarter ways to hack the marking scheme! I plan lessons according to student's need eg what they are weaker in, how do they prefer to learn, the pace etc; in short, I respect and communicate with my students all the time.

I took Econometrics with Ms Elaine.She shall teach you from scratch.There are things you understand in lay man's term and she will guide to explain in formal/exam format way.Students might recall just a snippet of certain topics but when you explain to her on just that small part,she help you recall the whole topic. She'll explain the rationale of the formula and she knows exactly what each detail means.She'll relate the formula with the graph so you understand what the graph means and you know how to read the graph. She simplify the method to calculate the formula such as substitution/differentiation (that we learn from SPM/GCE). She shall remind us that the calculus is not complicated at all, it seems complicated because we panic too much.

Elaine helped me with my UNI Statistics subject. She's very good at explaining the ideas behind the formulas and make them very easy to understand. She's very friendly and helpful, even outside of class time.

Tutoring Approach

I always made some interestings slides to attract students attentions and interest for more interactive studies.

Anthony Tee is a very kind, hardworking and dedicated tutor who teaches my son the most boring subject in his very own way and making it interesting for easy understanding.

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science

Experience

I have previously taught a class of primary students as a part-time classroom teacher for a month, which started off my interest in teaching. I've started to do 1-on-1 classes with students on programming (mainly python).

Tutoring Approach

I will always read through what I will teach before entering the class to ensure I know what I am talking about before projecting it into the young minds. Personally, I tend to make an image of a subject which is easily imaginable so the students would be able to understand concepts not just through alphabets and words, but visually as well. Mainly, I prefer to guide them through by doing hands-on exercises, so that we can go over obstacles together.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in psychology

Experience

     I am a teacher, formerly a senior teacher at English House. I have produced excellent results with my students there. I have 11 years experience in teaching adults. Also, I taught English to children (including teenagers) for 5 years, at English House and at homes for underprivileged kids. I was previously a top student at Garden International School and Epsom College in England.

Tutoring Approach

      I focus on 3 areas: 1. Helping children (including teenagers) improve their grades 2. Proficiency in the English language for adults and children 3. Helping children weak in the English language improve and increase self-confidence.   I have assisted children from National and International schools in improving their grades. Students who failed their exams improved to passing grades, students with C's improved to B's, and B students became A students.   I help adults and children clients improve their written and spoken English. I use effective techniques to help them improve their grammar. I also can help them improve their essay writing, critical thinking and creativity. Having been a top student in my studying days and having lived in England, I have the experience to be of help.    I also have a special skill at helping children students weak in English and who have poor self-confidence improve. For example, one of my teenage students was failing all his subjects badly, including English. After just over a year with me, his English grade improved from an E to a C. Despite receiving tuition from other teachers in other school subjects, he continued to fail in all subjects except English. He became more self-confident.     I also provide added value by helping adults and children manage stress better, if they are open to it. I do this by sharing a  psychology technique called mindfulness. My clients have responded well: I've seen children's focus and grades improve. Adult clients report managing stress better and being more positive.
