Mr Wong is a compassionate teacher that has many areas of expertise. He is very patient and can communicate with you well not only during but also after tuition hours. He makes lessons very engaging and enjoyable. He manages to make physics fun!!! He likes to teach me about the importance of understanding rather than memorising, which has impacted me a lot in a positive manner. He is always reluctant and prepared to answer difficult questions. Mr Wong is very warm and accessible. After meeting him I have seen a great increase in my grades. He is a great mentor and tutor to me.

I started to teach home tuition since 2013 and have guided many students from various levels.  2) I am a tutor specializing in teaching Mathematics subjects only. The subjects that I covered are Mathematics, Additional Mathematics and Statistics for SPM, STPM, UEC, IGCSE, O-Level and Cambridge A-Level. I can also guide Mathematics and Statistics subjects for Diploma, Certificate, Foundation and Degree levels.  3) Below are the levels that I covered for my tuition classes:  a) For National School (SMK and SMJK), I only accept Form 4 and Form 5 students.  b) For IGCSE and O-Level, I only covered Additional Mathematics subject.  c) For UEC, I only accept Senior Levels (Senior 1, 2 and 3).  d) For STPM, both Mathematics (T) and Mathematics (M) are accepted.  e) For Cambridge A-Level, I only accept Mathematics (9709) candidates.

I also prepared many exercises so that students have enough practice.  5) For SPM students, I also prepared sufficient exercises for KBAT/ HOTS to help students in increasing their thinking skills so that they are able to answer this kind of question in the exam.  6) For all levels of students, my tuition notes are prepared matched with the syllabus and some questions similar with past year questions were included.   7) I will often provide extra time or extra classes for my students so that they are able to learn more from my class. 

Education

Bachelor Degree in Statistic (HONS)

Experience

I being conducted few session with the secondary school for Mathematics. My style of teaching is very simple, for thing related to formula, I will not remember the formula since I already go through study stage and I believe all student might encounter the same problem which is difficult to memorize the formula. So my thinking is to understand the formula instead of memorizing it. I'm a positive person with high study spirit & I will pass this to my future students too.

Tutoring Approach

I plan to make my lessons as interesting and not boring by including play some games. Besides that, I dont want to create a tense or boring situation for students. I wanted my students to feel comfortable in the class. My tutoring techniques very easy, I will try to teach students with simplify way, make them understand and also please hold into this word "Keep ask the question if you do not understand". What I can say here is that I believe that students should practice study smart better rather than study hard. And do a mistake or did not score 100% in exam fine since for us to be the better person, learn from a mistake and do not repeat the same mistake for the second time.

Education

MBA

Experience

I graduated with second upper class in BSc in Business in 2010. I also completed MBA in UNITAR International University with CGPA of 3.88 in 2016 and ACCA Professional Qualification in 2020.   During my university studies, I was working as a part time tutor for around 4 years. I was handling BM, BI and Maths tuition classes for Standard 4 till Form 3. I am also a certified TESOL (English) teacher. Subsequently after graduation, I started my working life in commerce and banking industry while teaching tuition part time for many years. Currently I am full time lecturer in one of the tertiary colleges in Penang.   Overall I have more than 8 years of teaching tuition experience in English, Maths, Add Maths and Economics for secondary schools (SPM, IGCSE) and pre-university levels (STPM).

Tutoring Approach

My aim as a tutor is to create in my students a deep understanding and confidence in answering exam questions and  being able to tackle new and unfamiliar problems.   My philosophy is based on the idea that learning happens in an environment of mutual respect in which the student is encouraged to think and make new connections for themselves.  My experience has been that one-to-one personal tuition has a unique value to students because of the ability to resolve the students’ personal barriers to learning in a way that lays the foundations for a deep and lasting understanding of the subject. My approach varies depending on the student’s needs and learning style. However my teaching philosophy is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world exampleswherever possible. I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move gradually towards more complex areas as their confidence builds. I use questions and examples to check understanding continually.  I don’t lecture to students or ask them to memorise things.  Nor do I do the students’ homework for them! I usually focus on exam-style or past paper questions in order to check, practice and perfect the student’s understanding and technique. I also give a lot of emphasis to some of the less obvious but vital skills such as essay structure and technique, logical thought, and the effective use of numbers and graphs.

Ms Jophy was a very nice tutor. She took the time to evaluate the needed for my upcoming exam. I have started Accounting from a very basic understanding. Ms Jophy quickly adapts the level to meet me, while at the same time demands my full focus and intensity to learn as much as possible during the lessons. Fantastic so far. Would recommend to anyone.

Before having tuition, I had no interest at all in Accounting. Through my school's friend, I got to know Ms Jophy. I requested for a free trial class from her. And within 1 month, I started to understand Debit and Credit and some theories through mnemonics that she taught me. I love the tuition class and enjoyed the lesson. I got an A in the first exam I had taken after tuition and this boosted my interest in accounting even more! After three months, I decided to have tuition with Ms Jophy in Mathematics and Additional Mathematics. She prepared her own colored notes for me.

Education

Masters Of Informatics , Bachelor's Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Experience

I have been teaching SPM and IGCSE level Physics, Science and Maths for the past 6 years. My students have since graduated from school and are in the working arena, as well as pursuing their tertiary education in colleges. My years of experience working in the education and electronics industry has enabled me to conduct the following lectures with target audiences ranging from Secondary students, to students pursuing their diploma as well as to corporate clients. These subjects include Introduction to Raspberry Pi Programming, Physics for SPM, Mathematics for SPM, Physics for IGCSE, Mathemathics for IGCSE, Digital Electronics Fundamentals, Fundamentals of Arduino programming as well as C Program fundamentals.

Tutoring Approach

For Secondary school  students, I regularly use simple analogies to describe concepts to my students helping them to understand those concepts rather than memorizing them. I encourage a two-way interaction with my students in order to foster a critical thinking mindset. I also will converse in any language (English, Bahasa Melayu, Hokkien) that is prefered by the student to teach them effectively.  As for the Diploma/Foundation/A-level students, I will often share valuable insights and best known methods from the industry to better equip students at the university level to better prepare themselves for the working world.

Understanding Concepts and more Practices. Stress and highlight of common mistakes and traps. Identify and recognise the problems faced by students in understanding, through observation and interaction (for example, if student writes 3+3=9, he may just make a common error or he may have more serious concept recognisation problem).

Teaching skill very comprehensive. I will recommend to my friends.

Education

Bachelor Honours Degree (Biotechnology, 2011-2014) - UTAR; PhD Degree (Medical Entomology, 2015-present) - UNIMAS

Experience

I realised from my previous tutoring experiences that I am a tutor who rather emphasizes on understanding a particular concept than memorising it. Biology, contrary to popular belief among Malaysian, I believe is a subject which needs to be understood instead of memorised. It is my pleasure to aid students in grasping the main principles of the subjects I teach.

Tutoring Approach

Messages will be conveyed through mind maps and diagrams during Biology lessons. Each chapter will always start with an overview so that students might grasp the 'floorplan' of that chapter. When I go into the details, students will be guided to relate different parts of mind maps/diagram given during the class. Analogies on the other hand will be used to aid in understanding Mathematic. Once the students understand the concept, they will be guided to solve various Mathematical problems. For Mathematics, I believe in the saying 'Practice Makes Perfect'. All in all, my lessons are not only fun- and understanding-oriented. I like to trigger the student's mind to think critically so that they could answer questions asked in different ways during exams.

As to what he said in his introduction, he really emphasizes on understanding instead of memorising. I feel that it indeed is a better way to study a subject instead of always memorising it. I like how he is always very patient when his students don't understand a particular topic and how he doesn't mind repeating the same thing twice, or sometimes more than that.
