English Tutors in Penang : Form 4 - 5 (SPM) / O-Level

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.

MA & BEd in ESL, 8 years of teaching experience of ESL at premiere high schools

Experience

I specialise in the teaching of ESL ( English as 2nd language) particularly for high school students from Form 1 - Form 5. Been teaching for 8 years at prestigious high schools, therefore I am well-verse in & familiar with the formats, techniques & tips in aceing the national exams - UPSR, PT3 & SPM. I also cater to personalised needs as I understand each child has different learning style and motivation level. With a Master’s and BEd in English, I am also a certified TOEFL trainer.

Tutoring Approach

Most importantly, my lessons are not just “chalk & talk”. I design my lesson plans to tailor the child’s needs and preference(s), which means if a child is a visual learner a lot of the materials will include images to aid his/her learning. If a child is a kinesthetic learner, the activities will not require him/her to be seated at the discussion table throughout the lesson. I specialise in essays as well as teaching children how to grasp the basic of grammar.
