Sylvia

Female Pro

13 Years of Teaching Experience

(33 Reviews)

Education

Ph.D in Medical Science, B.Sc. Hons. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Experience

I've been teaching Chemistry since 2009, covering various levels like SPM, IGCSE, AISM, GCSE (9-1), STPM, A-Levels, CPU, IB, CIMP, SAT, AUSMAT, and Foundation.

I also cover Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis modules for undergraduate level.

My students consistently show significant improvement, with most scoring A* and A+ or a 6 or 7 in IB Chemistry.

I offer bespoke one to one or group lessons via online or face to face.

I've taught at various institutions including Marist Educare, Dignity for Children Organization, Isberne International School of Berne, and KPJ University College.

Let's make Chemistry learning practical, enjoyable and effective.

Tutoring Approach

I tailor my classes to each student's unique learning pace, comprehension level, preferred style, and specific needs. Completing the syllabus at least three months ahead of major exams, I offer intensive revision classes and practice sessions with past trial papers nearing exams, ensuring significant improvement. I sharpen the analytical skills alongside. Hands on practical sessions can be arranged for home schooling students.

Instead of memorizing, I guide students to understand the concepts and train them with applicative exercises. This allows them to enjoy the subject instead of being suffocated by it. 

In addition to face to face/group classes, I extend online sessions through Google Meet and Zoom, particularly for those outside KL/Malaysia. Many students prefer this format for its convenience—they can record sessions for later review.

Whether in-person or online, expect a personalized and well-crafted education plan, ensuring guaranteed improvement for you or your child.

Ms Sylvia is fantastic! Her lessons make tough topics easy to understand, and she is always there to help. I used to find Chemistry tricky, but now it's one of my favorite subjects thanks to her teaching. Super grateful for such an amazing teacher!

Sasha

Very good experience with Ms Joanne , she simplifies the topic so that it only takes a few minutes to understand. She regularly checks questions and always responds to any questions I have even after tuition sessions.

Chrisvyn

I have learnt from Ms Slyvia for 9 months and it was truly an amazing experience. She has helped me enjoy doing chemistry now that I understand it well. There was also a significant improvement in my results that I jumped from a C to an A* in A Levels. She provides comprehensive notes with sufficient exercise for each topic that helped me master each one completely. She is also very approachable and understanding when she answers all the questions I have patiently and makes sure I fully understand the concepts.

Reia

Sylvia's an excellent tutor who helped me understand a chemistry topic I was struggling with. She ensured all parts of the syllabus were covered and that I understood them. Her notes were concise and helpful. After tutoring me, I managed to get an A+ on the chemistry test that tested the topic I was originally weak in. Now, I've graduated and the subject I did best in (19/20 credits) was chemistry ? Only issue was scheduling. It was a bit unpredictable and sometimes there were last minute changes to our classes. However, all was ok because the classes got replaced ? Thanks!

I had the privilege of attending IB Chemistry HL tuition classes with Ms. Sylvia for approximately six months, and I can confidently say that the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Ms. Sylvia provided invaluable notes and delivered lessons that were clear, concise and focused on crucial exam content. Ms. Sylvia's teaching style stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. She covered a significant amount of material in each session, ensuring a thorough understanding without unnecessary details. This helped me grasp the material more quickly and facilitated a smoother transition to practicing with past papers for additional reinforcement.

Christina Ong

I enjoyed her classes which were very structured and she gave very good, summarized notes which were helpful whilst studying. She also tailored our classes to what we needed to focus on and improve and through her classes, my grade for Chemistry improved greatly from C to an A.

Ashlynn

Dr Sylvia always explained concepts in a clear, understandable manner and taught real life applications of chem to make it more interesting. Her notes were really helpful and concise as well.

Raashi Agarwal

Ms Sylvia explained the concepts of Chemistry in a very understanding and creative manner. She always spent an adequate amount of time on each topic and gave us the right amount of practice before moving to the next topic. Her detailed notes helped me a lot and she was always willing to help me with concepts that I was confused with outside of lesson time as well.

Ming Yao

She has a very good teaching style that allows me to fully understand the topic even when it was one of my weakest ones and always made the lessons very interactive and engaging.

Emma

She provided a good foundation in the basics of chemistry which helped me apply them when learning the different chapters. She explained all the chemistry concepts well and I could understand them quicker than in school. She also provided good workbooks and test papers for me to practise on.

Kush B

I have attended tuition classes with Ms Sylvia for about 6 months for my A-Levels. While I feel I have worked hard enough in Chemistry, Ms Sylvia has worked double - in our starting weeks, Ms Sylvia provided us with handwritten notes on chapters we felt we had a weaker grasp on, which helped me immensely. Ms Sylvia's classes were engaging, as her explanations were simple enough for me to understand each lesson. With every revision of past papers Ms Sylvia asked us to finish, I could understand where and why I was going wrong with greater ease. I felt confident giving my Chemistry exams and I have Ms Sylvia to thank for everything. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in attending extra coaching for Chemistry. Thank you so much again Ms Sylvia!

Marisa

Lessons are very straight to the point and easy to remember. There are no long winded detailed explanations, only the information you will need for your exams. Notes are easy to understand and simple. A lot of material is taught in an hour of class so the learning process isn't dragged and doing pass year papers can start quicker for more practice.

Shrut Silakari

Utmost familiarity with the curriculum. Constantly making sure there are no additions to the syllabus that we didn't miss, and not realiant on the class teacher. Basically, if you join her class(in time) then you will be prepared enough to compete among the highest scorers in Chemistry in the world. Efficiency of the classes is also very high.

Gabriel

Thank you for helping me throughout the A-level Chemistry examinations. Because of your patience and encouragement, I am able to achieve A* in my A-Level Chemistry. You are the teacher who inspired me to go above and beyond, took your time, and ensured I am on the right track.

Adeline Jacob

Everything she says is clearly understandable. Her teaching style is very effective. She makes sure I understand why and how about chemistry instead of making me memorise information.

Amyrathul Munyra

She made the class a safe environment to learn in. Whenever I got a concept or a question wrong she will patiently explain. The class was always very interactive and fun allowing me to not be as tense. With her help, i can say that my grades improved significantly during my A2 year as that’s when she started teaching me.

Ilhaam

All the classes were really good, for topics i had trouble in she would prepare her own notes for me and make me understand really well step by step from the basics. Her explanations were very easy to comprehend. Furthermore, she would make time to have extra classes when I needed and, she knew the A- level syllabus very well and what key points to remember for the exam questions in past papers.

Priyaa Thiru

She is someone who I can communicate easily with. I am not afraid to ask her questions and she teaches in detail. She goes through everything thoroughly and she really prepared me for my IGCSE exam. Because of her intensive tuition classes, I have done very well for my IGCSE chemistry.

Lisah

I'm really impressed with Sylvia Joanne of IB HL Chemistry and mode of delivery, I'll highly recommended she to parents whose kids need help with IB chemistry . My son had a lot of question and needed help to understanding basic concept , Sylvia Joanne not only clarified his understanding, but also developed a really good rapport with him that has strengthened his confidence .

Azureen

Joanne taught my first son a few years back and she changes his perception about chemistry and he got A* for his IGCSE paper.

Bachelor in Language and Linguistics

Experience

I have more than 10 years experience in teaching adult and international school mandarin. In the past 10 years, i have tutored over 100 students of different ability levels which are mostly expatriates and international students ranging from 6 yr old to 60 yr old. Besides daily and conversational Mandarin, I’m also trained in preparing students for various International Mandarin examinations such as IB, HSK, YCT, SAT II Chinese, IGCSE, GCSE, GCE etc. 

Tutoring Approach

When tutoring students, i seek first to understand the students to know how they find the subject. I find it  important to have a good rapport and communication with  students to be able to understand how they view the subject and the difficulties in it. By understanding students’ weakness, working individually with them is hence more effective to help them develop on a different learning curve. My goal is to meet students where they are and take them where they need to go.

I have also tutored beginners starting from zero to learn German for the Goethe A1, A2, and B1 exams. With a C1 in the Goethe-Zertifikat proficiency exam and having scored 5.5.4.5 in the TestDaF exam myself, I can share with you from my personal experience important exam techniques to deal with  Goethe and TestDaF tasks and questions.

ENGLISH: "I help English learners improve their speaking and vocabulary to communicate better at work, at school, and in social situations."   

Since 2012 I have taught English to secondary school and college students as well as adults.

CANTONESE: "I help non-Cantonese speakers practice conversation to connect better with their friends, colleagues, and clients in the local community, and I also help semi-speakers revive their language skills to reconnect with their family heritage."

Driven by a burning passion to keep my heritage language alive, I am glad to help others learn conversational Cantonese through speaking practice.

Tutoring Approach

Online, with notes, written exercises, listening and speaking live. Let me know your target, we work together to achieve it. We start with the sound system of the language, then go to basic grammar, sentence structure and word understanding step by step. I use a communicative, interactive approach based on your needs. When we talk about things important to you, you practice, absorb, and activate what we cover in the lesson, whether it's a grammar topic or functional language. For German we can do exam preparation techniques or focus on specific skills building (speaking, listening, writing, reading) depending on what you want. For spoken English and Cantonese the learning focus will be on dialogues and conversation topics.

I started learning German with Lee since about six months ago and am now at B1-ish level. Lee is a great teacher; he provides really useful and productive exercises which he goes through with you in every class. His style of teaching is full of clarity and he manages to explain the complex aspects of the language really well. What I especially like is that we would have normal, everyday conversations in German before we go into learning the more technical stuff. He is also great with jokes and his classes feels nothing like the regular rigid "classes", which can end up to be quite boring. If you're looking to learn German efficiently and quickly from scratch, look no further!

Koay

Patient, kind and generous! Mr. U Joe guided me step by step from zero to A1 – he’d always explain in detail, making sure you would understand. He is familiar with the Goethe Institute syllabus and will prep you more than enough for each section of the exam. His materials are always fun and engaging yet challenging. Mr. U Joe never got impatient with me if I ever forgot a word or something that has been taught previously. He is always there for me along the way, answering any questions of mine. Most of all, he cracks good dad jokes!

I am of British national, staying in the UK and learning online piano lessons with Donovan. Great start, great teacher! Good first piano lesson with Donovan today.

Ashira Malka

I am learning online Mandarin (Kung Fu specialism) with Donovan; and I am a US citizen residing in the US. I have studied many languages with many teachers and his lessons are stellar and outstanding! He is very organized and tailored the lessons to my interest – which means his lessons really held my interest! Donovan is indeed an excellent teacher in many ways: He is fun, bright, attentive and as detail-oriented as you want to be! You get to pick your own level of detailed orientation within your own lessons and it can even vary lesson-by-lesson; I have never met a teacher like this before!

Joshua Chun Wah Kam

I am a doctorate student at an American University, currently doing a piece of research and writing a dissertation on Asian food, which requires the use of Cantonese. Donovan is an incredibly diligent, thoughtful, prepared tutor. His online Cantonese course is like a classroom experience, and he is both prepared for the course material as well as willing to follow up on more complex questions for the next lesson. His teaching style is adaptable to the needs of students (in my case, Cantonese lessons - I have a very specific research focus and he has been more than willing to accommodate). In addition, he blends some elements of traditional Chinese education with a western outlook and pedagogical style. Would highly recommend him.

Marc

I am a senior partner of a German law firm based in Germany; and I have been taking online legal English (English for lawyers) lessons from Mr. Donovan. I often travel between Germany and Kuala Lumpur for work purpose and his online lessons match this requirement. He is a very reliable teacher who listens to exactly what I want. He takes time for my questions and uses very good learning materials. We always have interesting discussions. This makes the lessons fun.

Steve

A positive and patient piano instructor that makes me feel good and tailors the online piano classes to my style. Mr Donovan is doing a great job in helping me to prepare for the piano examination of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), London. 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.

Alika Jean-Jacques

Mr. Donovan is an awesome Mandarin teacher. Patient and knowledgeable, with great energy to keep kids engaged. Highly recommend.

Amanda Black

Great class and a great teacher. Mr. Donovan is very well organized and encourages everyone to participate. He teaches lessons from textbooks and workbooks. The lessons cover speaking, writing, and listening. I love the fact that he makes kids repeat after him so that they are well engaged in the class. He makes learning fun. Great class, very enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

Malcolm

I am an adult enrolled in this mandarin class with Mr. Donovan. I am currently working in a medical field which requires me to speak to mandarin speaking clients. I took medical chinese language classes with Mr Donovan, it is conducted online which is convenient as I have a tight schedule due to work. Based on the classes with Mr Donovan, I can vouch that he is very passionate about teaching. Every class that he delivers are concise and he provides suitable materials for you to learn before classes. He is able to draw your attention by making the class more captivating in various ways. His professionalism is commendable because of the way he conducts the classes on time and well mannered in guiding me. Online classes with Mr Donovan are both practical and extremely convenient. I would recommend to anyone who needs to learn mandarin (At any level of mandarin and age) with Mr Donovan.

Je M\'appelle Grace Lim

I am an adult learner who have been taking online class for piano practical high grade- Trinity syllabus for two months with Mr Kwan. I am a piano teacher. I teach piano beginner. I am looking to upgrade my qualification to higher grade before I take Mr Kwan lesson. His online lesson match my lifestyle, because I am busy and do not have time to travel to music center for piano lesson, I am glad to have online piano lesson to ease my burden to travel long way to music center. He is knowledgeable and will tell the story of the music score I am going to work on, help me to analysis the score for better music interpretation. He is generosity in extra lesson time given to me in his teaching. Song books/learning material given to me is good and organized.

Je M\'appelle Grace Lim

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.

June

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.

Irfan

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.

Fadzillah Ab Rashid

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!

Syuhaini

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!

Vinod

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.

Syuhaini Ab Rahman

I'm a student of Master's degree in MBA, studying English with Mr. Kwan. Mr. Kwan is very authentic and experienced, he communicates clearly and responded attentively to my needs. 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.

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.

Tiffany B. Zhang

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.

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.

Education

Cambridge CELTA, Bachelor of Laws (Hons)

Experience

A full-time tutor and native speaker of English, I specialise in teaching English for both exam preparation and communicative purposes. Over the last eight years, I’ve taught students of all levels and ages, accumulating more than 4,000 hours doing so. At the same time, I've also worked with students of various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds, with many of my students coming from countries like Korea, China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Libia, and the Netherlands. My extensive experience in language teaching has not only enabled me to easily adapt my material and teaching style to suit a wide range of learners, but it has also allowed me to quickly identify the unique strengths and weaknesses of each student.

Additionally, my familiarity with scoring and technique requirements of exams like IELTS, IGCSE and Checkpoint mean that I’m able to offer dedicated courses for each of these exams. In terms of my formal qualifications, I am certified by the University of Cambridge under the English teaching programme CELTA, and I hold a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) from Bristol Law School. Further certification by Dyslexia International and University College London (UCL) also allows me to assist children with learning difficulties, such as ADHD and Dyslexia. Presently, I am in the process of completing the prestigious Cambridge DELTA course to further enhance my ability to offer effective and highly personalised English lessons.  

Tutoring Approach

An initial assessment is conducted to help determine a student’s level of proficiency and identify areas for improvement. A personalised study plan is then provided to let students know their strengths and weaknesses as well as the time it would take for them to achieve their goals. I always welcome feedback to ensure that the materials I use are suitable for the learner and that it matches with their expectations of the lessons.

Exam Candidates

  • In order to help students understand what is expected of them in an exam, I work closely with the scoring requirements of that exam. Once students are familiar with the marking criteria, we practise applying that knowledge in a series of practice questions and past papers. At the same time, model answers and lots of materials for self-study are provided to ensure students are able to make progress outside of our lessons. Challenging areas are given more attention, while a systematic approach is used to reduce mistakes and improve response quality over time. I find that one of the reasons why many students fail to succeed in exams is because they are unsure of what is expected of them or how an examiner might view their work. My approach guides them in this area.

Language Learners

  • Believing that language learning should never be contained within a textbook or the four walls of a classroom, my approach focuses on language aspects that are relevant and immediately applicable to a person’s daily life. In this way, students have a greater chance of remembering and using what they’ve learnt in lessons. Meanwhile, a heavy emphasis is placed on aspects like vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, as I believe these to be the core of language learning and necessary for long-term improvement. In order to improve fluency, students should expect to engage in relaxed discussions on up-to-date topics that match their interests, while occasional role-plays or games will be used to practise vocabulary or grammar. Rest assured that my lessons are always detailed and thorough, with practice and error correction given by the end of each lesson to solidify learning.

Asya

I have been taking English classes with Timothy twice a month since 2019 mainly to practice speaking and pronunciation. Timothy is a very friendly and patient teacher. He always explains difficult vocabulary by giving me different examples. I'm also having business English class with him, and he will ensure I have different topic for discussion in each class.

Wana

Timothy guides Hanis to construct sentences using sensory details. He invokes her mind to think out of the box and write descriptively. His gentle demeanour and encouraging approach makes her comfortable to relate to him. Her essays have improved tremendously under his tutelage. Even her Y6 class teacher is impressed with her progress.

Yukiko

I’ve been taking Timothy’s English lesson once a week for 2 years. I highly recommend his lesson. He always tries to identify what is my weakness/ strength in English, and points them out precisely. Thanks to his pertinent feedback, I can feel rest assured with my English now.

Su

I needed to take IELTS last minute, for my work visa application. I was panicking and worried because it was unexpected and I only had short duration of time. I'm thankful that i managed to find Timothy on Myprivate Tutor. He is extremely patient. I went through a few classes with him before the exam. He provided all the materials and gave me some examples on how the exam would be like. In the end, I got higher than the expected grades, which was according to Tim’s assessment. Here I would highly recommend anyone who need a tutor for Ielts to refer to Timothy!

Giam

The lessons were clear and the contents and teaching are effective as well. Tim know the IELTS marking process well, so i got clear instructions of what to improve and how to score. Other than that, the lessons were completely taught in an English-speaking enviroment which help me gain confidence when speaking English since I dont speak english regularly. The writing part is the most difficult to me, however, with significant help from the lessons and endless training, I am able to write a proper essay in 40 min, which to be honest, was very difficult to me in the beginning. All in all, after i had experience about 7 lessons and taking IELTS exam, I think the lessons were essential to me and in fact, I may not score 6.5 without the help of these lessons. Therefore, big appreciation to Tim!

Anaan

Helped me a lot to improve my IELTS writing, from a 6.5 to a 7.0 band within just 1 week. A lot of resources were provided and explained all the important details on both the writing tasks as well as speaking task.

Hi Timothy! I would like to thank you for all the support. It was extremely helpful and eased my path in IELTS exam. The comments for the essays and your responsibility were helpful. Thank you again!

Nazhan

I went for an IELTS crash course with Mr Tim just a week before my actual IELTS exam. Mr Tim is very well versed in all there is to know about IELTS and he explained to me from scratch how to go about each component. He emphasises on the IELTS examiner’s marking technique and this gave me a solid studying foundation before taking the exams. Tim is super generous with his notes, he provides whatever notes and revision books you require without any additional payment. I managed to achieve Band 7.5 overall, and because of that I strongly recommend his services.

Wilson

I am an university student and I have had the pleasure working with him for past couple of months. His teaching method has greatly developed my fundamentals in English especially grammar. If I am to say one thing I like about his teaching method, it would have to be how he always pinpoints my mistakes after each lesson.

Samer

Tim has helped me to progress from band 6 to band 7 in IELTS writing in less than 5 weeks. Before we started lessons, I had taken IELTS 3 times. First, he examined my writing and identified the issues that I need to remedy. Then he customized a specific plan for me and followed up with weekly action items. Tim also advised me on how to allocate time to practice different areas of writing such as structuring, improving paragraph development, fixing repetitive spelling mistakes, etc. I am very happy that I found Tim and I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Irfan

I have been under Tim's tutelage for a few months and I must say it's been quite an experience. Tim's way of approaching learning is by treating his client as he would his friends and also through systematic methods that are fun and easy to understand. I would recommend him for a quality English tutor.

Justin

Great lesson outline and overview of what is to be expected; well prepared and concise sessions would recommend 10/10

Timothy has assisted me a great deal in preparing for my IELTS writing examinations. He’s an excellent teacher and know how to pick up on my strengths and weaknesses in a short period of time. He is well versed with the IELTS marking system & could point out my errors in order to achieve the required band score. Not only that, with my busy schedule I find that he’s flexible If I need to plan a couple of last minute classes to achieve certain aims of the exam. I strongly recommend him for anyone planning to sit for an English exam!

Christine

Tim helped me to prepared my writing and speaking for the IELTS test. We spent most of the time on writing and I improved a lot with time management. I was worried about not being able to finish the writing test in time but it turns out that I still have time for checking grammar at the end. We practiced speaking test at Tim’s place as it’s quieter and more similar to actual test scenario. We only practiced twice because the writing part was more important for me, but the practice helped me to be less nervous when it came to the real test. Overall, I think the lesson with Tim was very helpful for my IELTS preparation, especially for the writing.

Yong Yi

Mr. Timothy is a teacher who is very focused and dedicated in his teaching. He will try his best to help you pass your exam, and he will give you all the material you need for practice. He usually corrects my speech when I am wrong, and I can ask him about any words that I'm not sure about. I enjoy his classes because they are fun, and sometimes we will make some jokes. Mr. Timothy is a really good teacher. I highly recommend him to others!

Viannie

Timothy worked with my daughter for 6 months to prepare for IGCSE English as a First Language. I liked the way he motivated her to aim for the best in the exams. The tips and guidance he provided were also very helpful, and I believe he contributed to her wellbeing & her success in achieving an A for her final English exam. I'm happy that you are part of her achievement. Thank you so much!

For the past six months I have been taking O-Level classes from Mr Timothy. He is responsible and makes an effort to organize his classes well by preparing worksheets, slides, past year papers, etc. I have learnt a lot from him, like how to be organized. I have gained a lot of knowledge on exam preparations from him. He also makes the surrounding comfortable and conducive while he is teaching and he gives you a lot of confidence.

He is a fantastic guy with great teaching skills. I had only few days for my exam but he did insist me on the skills to improve my scores in the PTE examination. Moreover, he was also very friendly guy who you can share all your ideas to make you feel more comfortable. I would highly recommend him.

Syakir

I liked Tim's humble and friendly approach in dealing with students. Although my English was at a good level, Tim helped me improve and corrected some mistakes. His knowledge of the English language was quite impressive and he speaks with very little accent, which I think will help ESL students. He helped me prepare for the IGCSE English as a Second Language test and I managed to get an A.

Liew

Timothy managed to improve my writing abilities for my IELTS exam from a 6.5 to 7+ with just 4 classes! I highly recommend him if you are taking your IELTS exam.

Very professional, amazingly friendly, most proactive and exceedingly warm. From my 9-year-old daughter, ‘ Please add - very kind, made my education so much fun, the best’.

Jieunhur

Timothy is very passionate and hardworking teacher. What I like most about Timothy is that he's willing to not only explain easily; when he point out my errors, he can also quickly identify what my weakness is and always note it to prepare for next class. It helped a lot to make up for my weak point. Other than that,Timothy can also adapt to teach any kind of students just as he is teaching my mom,me and my sister as well! Even though we all have different levels and goals. He's been helping us to improve in many ways!9

He has also been diligent in following up with me and sharing additional material after our lessons, which I really appreciate. Thank you, Timothy, you have been a great help.

All in all, his a well-educated teacher who is able to give assistance to those who want to ace their subjects.

Mr. Joven's teaching in IGCSE Physics is exceptional—blending theory with hands-on examples, making complex concepts easy to understand. His dedication to ensuring every student grasps fundamental principles is commendable. In Biology, his contagious enthusiasm for life sciences makes learning enjoyable, even in virtual classes. His innovative teaching methods keep me engaged, and his availability for questions outside class hours shows his dedication to our success. Thanks to Mr. Joven, my grades in Biology and Physics have significantly improved, and my appreciation for these subjects has deepened. His passion, expertise, and commitment make him an invaluable educator.

B.Sc Physics, Ph.D Geophysics, Cert TESOL

Experience

I am a native English speaker, holding a B.Sc in Physics from the University of Manchester, an M.Sc and Ph.D in Geophysics from the University of Leeds, and a CertTESOL from Trinity College London. I worked in industry for more than 20 years before switching to teaching full-time. I have experience of teaching teenagers and adults ranging from pre-O-level students of English in Thailand to undergraduates and postgraduates in geophysics at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. Key tuition subjects are: Maths, Science (general, Physics, Chemistry) and English (general, academic, business, and IELTS/GMAT/PTE/TOEFL prep).

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is student-led, with classes being tailored to the goals and needs of the individual learner. I am passionate about science and I firmly believe that anyone can understand it when it is explained in a way that is appropriate for them. Because of this, I take time to get to understand the strengths and needs of my potential students before I agree to take them on. Once we have agreed a teaching framework, I plan tailor-made lessons for the individual learner that are relevant and interesting. I am a native English speaker and have learned several other languages, so I empathise with the challenges faced when learning English as a second (or third or fourth!) language. Language needs to be relevant, personalised and communicative for learning to be effective. All my language lessons are planned individually with these three aims in mind. As a life-long learner myself, I am familiar with the pressures of trying to balance classes around other day-to-day obligations, such as school, work or college. I understand the need for flexibility, but ask for advance notice if occasionally classes need to be rescheduled.     **** Current vacancies for intensive exam preparation classes in April for IGCSE Maths and A-level Physics ****
