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.

Hoora is a good teacher. My second son was so scared that he was afraid of getting into the water, but he started diving from his second class with Hoora. The children enjoyed class. Expected to see Hoora often. She explained slowly to me, who didn't speak English well. She was also a good advisor to me. If we visit Kuala Lumpur again, we would like to meet Hoora. Thank you Hoora.

Tutoring Approach

My approach will depend on the student’s needs and learning style. However, my teaching is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible.

Experience

I'm a fresher but as an ex-student I know what things that can be improved in the learning system for our students in Malaysia. The system itself is exam oriented thus making the learning progress seems to be a burden for our students.

Tutoring Approach

There is nothing special bout my technique compared to others but first and the most important part is to learn what kind of students we are dealing with. Try to understand their problem in learning process either the teaching speed, the focus needed, the space required for them to absorb and might be the materials used in school. Once we everything is ready and the pace is good we will for sure can help the students to improve their studies performance.

I enjoy teaching students of various age groups. The students I teach range from the ages of 5 to 14. From my teaching experience, being a teacher is more than just delivering the teaching material.

Education

Bachelor Degree in Construction Management

Experience

I'm a former football head coach in Kuala Lumpur that now possessed total of 3 years of successful experience. Responsible for every football-related issue. Scouting players, train them, craft a matchday strategy and ensure we achieve our match target. Back-to-back Champions of Malaysia Social League 2016 (MSL) and Frenzz Social League 2017 (FSL). Our first 2 season participated together, ever.  Hold a 70% win rate record throughout my tenure as a head coach.   I'm an expert in Workforce Growth & Development. Its a reward in itself for me to have the prvileged and ability to turn ordinary players into an effective and crucial player of the team. 

Tutoring Approach

I'm a huge advocate for personalized training/coaching where before anything else, I will get to know and understand the player as much as I can, through observation, a conversation. Every player have their own unique strength, the challenge is to identify it and utilise it. If you put a good defender to play as a striker, he will live his whole life thinking he is a bad player. The first task is to understand the player, identify his strength that can be build on but also his weakness to ensure it won't be exploited. Another is his personality. For e.g, for someone with a very composed & calm personality, regardless of the technical skills, he can be an effective centre-back as this position require the player to be composed, to be able to play under pressure. And it will be my job to help the player to be the best version of himself.  Intelligence matter more in football compare to physical strength. Training session carried out by me are usually 70% focusing on mental attributes, tactical knowledge, and etc. When training one individual player, partly it will depends on the player's method of learning as different player have different way of learning. Some learn best by listening, some by watching, some by doing. It will be my job to find out thus I can design the possibly most personalized training routine, thus highly likely more efficience.

Education

Bachelor's degree (BBA in Economics) and certificate in International Business

Experience

My highest qualification is having a bachelor's degree in economics. I spent my undergraduate’s years in US from 2014-2018. My focus areas of studies include business fundamentals and finance. I currently work as an Investment Analyst at a business advisory firm. I have no official experience as a tutor. However, I had experience teaching my family and friends before this, in informal settings. I do believe I can be a good tutor if given the chance, considering the qualifications that I have.

Tutoring Approach

Following my exposure to the American's education system and culture, I am inclined to having a discussion style of teaching where there will be more interactions between me and the student instead of a directing style that focuses only on instructions and following orders. A discussion style of teaching allows for more brain stimulation to reach a productive learning session. The tutor session will follow the current syllabus of the student for exam preparation purposes, unless specifically requested by the parents/student. There are no fixed timeline and schedule to be followed; tutor session will be adjusted accordingly should the student requires more time to focus on certain key topics.
