Miss Vivian is highly professional when it comes to teaching. Her consideration to find ways for improvement is highly appreciated as she wants what is best for me academically. Her strictness and teaching discipline is also one of the positive things that has pressured me to do better. She is supportive and flexible when it comes to time management. I could only highlight about how well prepared she is when it comes to her teaching strategies. Overall, Miss Vivian is an excellent english tutor (MUET).

Inspiring, motivating and understanding. She have the awareness about my daily life and surrounding so she could adapt it to her timetable, so she could manage it properly for both side so I could cope with her teaching. She thought thoroughly about her teaching scope. In a proficient ways to apply her education strategy to her student. That every minute of her time in educating me counts as efficient and effective for my time. She motivated me by pursuing something more than what i have aimed for. At first, i did not mind to have at least Band 2. But she beg to differ, requested for me to aim higher, at least Band 3. She was very strict about it, because she wants what is best for her student, more chances and opportunity to receive education offers from any institute. So i put my effort by aiming for Band 3. Who could ever thought i got Band 4 in the end but i did! Highly appreciate her teachings as well as her moral guidance in helping me to aim higher and widen my education purpose.

Miss vivian is a great tutor. She is very attentive to the parts that I don’t understand. She is also very easy to talk to so it makes discussing things I find difficult easier to bring up. She provided the best method for me to learn and score better for muet papers especially in writing essay and speaking parts. She is well spoken and very kind. I can’t thank her enough for all the help that she gave me, with her help I was able to achieve a band 4 in my muet exam when i was only aiming for band 3 initially. She is indeed very intelligent, thoughtful and amazing tutor.
