(D) IGCSE  English, Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, History, Sociology, English Literature, Business  

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.

Experience

I enjoy tennis and love to integrate different sport activities such as rugby, hockey and many others to develop a good tennis player. I would like to pursue sport tourism and sport psychology area for a greater impact of tennis in today society rather than being a normal tennis coach. My style of coaching is to develop someone like David Ferrer, Carlos Moya where he is having intellectual mentality and strong will to get every chances.

Tutoring Approach

I tend to use pop-culture and real life examples to illustrate lessons/ points when teaching as they are the most immediate and relevant ways for students to learn. The ability to associate lesson theories and principles to real life gives the lessons significance. Hobbies: I played tennis up until college, and I still enjoy playing.

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.

I have spent many years and a lot of money for my kids to learn in group classes but their techniques is very poor. Decided to engage Yan for my kids for private class and I think my kids learnt more in one lesson with her than 1 month in group lesson at D**. A bit hesitant at first because it’s not cheap but now I think it’s worth it.
