Mandarin Tutors in Kuala Lumpur : Standard 1 - 6 (UPSR)

Elise

Her willingness to customize the lessons to match the interest, skill level and schedule of the student. This allows me to learn at a comfortable pace and ensures my lessons are relevant to my day to day life. This is much more engaging than standard syllabus provided elsewhere.

Matt Delagi

I really like that Yee Jia will create a personalized plan for you. She is also very willing to change the plan of something isn’t working or if the student has any requests that they want to ask. For example in my case, we started reviewing together and I would use an online website to create flash cards to review. This website linked to an app on my phone and the app is able to speak the words out loud so I can listen with headphones. The one downside of this app is that it is a robot voice and it’s not able to do long sentences. Yee Jia worked with me to send me voice messages so that I can listen to them in the car on the way to and from work. She was willing to alter her plan and come up with. Great solution that met my needs and ultimately helped me speed up my Chinese retention. She is also great when it comes to scheduling, since this can be an issue with a busy schedule. She is willing to host the class whenever she is free and able to reschedule if something comes up. This is really nice as things end up happening in life that require your time and that could be during class.

Ms Heng has been my daughters' tutor for 3 years. I like that she emphasises understanding through explanation behind Chinese characters. She takes time to explain thoroughly and go the extra mile with my children whenever they have trouble understanding certain subjects. She tailor her teachings according to my kids level of competence rather than rigidly follow school syllabus. She is also very flexible in arranging classes and sometimes spend a little longer with the kids especially before exam. Highly recommended

Ck

Dedicated teacher. And able to help my daughter improve her Mandarin. Recommended to others.

Nur

Teacher Heng Yee Jia’s explanation and teaching skills is extremely good for non-Chinese learner and her lesson really can improve your mandarin a lot. Also, if you ask any questions, she will answer the questions very details and well explained.

Lucas

I have been learning Chinese from miss heng for the past 3 months through online classes. She is very thoughtful and a patient tutor which is very comfortable to practice conversation with . Before this I have zero background in Chinese language but after 3 months learning from miss Heng, I am able to speak with more confidence and I can see a huge improvement in my vocabulary. I would highly recommend her to anyone that are interested in this language 👍

Ruzainah

Ms Heng prepared my son for Chinese school and helped him to become more confident speaking in Chinese. Before the MCO, she always came well prepared for each class and brought learning materials that helped to hold my son's attention and interest. We continued with online classes and Ms Heng managed to maintain her enthusiasm and keep my son focused in class with her interactive ways. She has been very helpful in helping to boost my son's confidence in Chinese. Thank you very much Ms Heng.

Yap Elaine

Ms. Heng is a highly passionate and committed teacher. She evaluate my daughter's learning style and customised learning methodologies that suits my daughter so that she learns better. Her face to face interactions with kids are great and she uses different study tools and materials to keep her classes interesting. She put in lots of effort in preparing learning materials and she certainly run the extra miles to ensure my daughter cope well. She is highly flexible and she offers effective online learning and tutoring during MCO and CMCO period through Zoom. To keep my daughter's interest and attention during online sessions, she utilised different programmes to deliver her lessons. She would prepare online quiz, reading materials and assessment modules to help my daughter learn faster. I'm would highly recommend Ms.Heng. Ms.Heng has been tutoring my daughter for over 8 months now and I've seen vast improvement in my daughter's Chinese . My daughter is more confident now and she even love Chinese as a subject. Thanks Ms. Heng for great effort!

Endang Soteto

Good tutor. Patient and has a depth knowledge of the subject. Surely recommended.

Gushima Hiroshi

I am very impressed by his professionalism and teaching attitude and would recommend him as a conscious and responsible tutor. I am an expatriate that do not know English and learn gracefully from him.

Leow Xin Pei

Teacher Mike has helped me a lot since 2020 December. He is very helpful and teaches me to think critically and how to apply unique and awesome phrases in grammar and writing. Now, he also teaches me the idioms to improve my writing skills. I'll be sitting the SPM exam, targeting above 79 which Teacher Mike has set for me.

Hao Juin Leow

Teacher Mike has helped me a lot since 2020 December. He is very patient and also my results have improved from the fail to pass between 55 to 76. Besides, now I can speak and know short translations from Chinese to English in the writing. Teacher Mike has set a target for me, it is above 70 in the coming exam.

Fiona

My 13 years old son has been taking English online tuition with teacher Michael for about a year. We find teacher Michael to be a really good tuition teacher. He is conscientious, responsible and takes a lot of time and effort to ensure the lesson is effective. Although we have an hour of tuition, he takes time to prepare before the lesson and also marks homework after the lesson so I think he spends double of time we pay for. In addition, teacher Michael also prepares exams for my son to take after every term and sends me the student progress report, so he is more or less like a school teacher! Other than the actual lesson plan, I also like the fact that teacher Michael always takes time to have a short chat with my son, he will find out about his interest, what’s happening to him that week and so extra activities that fit his interest to keep him engaged with the lesson. Kudos to him for that!

Tiffany B. Zhang

We have been 30 months with Sofia now, recommended by our neighbour. My kids are both in junior and high school. Started with one subject, then we added other subjects under my kid's request just because my kid would like to her stay longer. She is getting more and more looking forward to the lessons to spend time with Sofia. It was a progressive journey too, filled with happy moments for my kid ( who is rather hard to manage). Sofia's creativity and character are suitable for my kid. I vouch for Sofia.

Misaki Yamamoto

I managed to fine-tune my bad Japanese accent into standard English and Mandarin under Sofia's coaching.

Walter Preston

We are Canadian expat living in Kuala Lumpur with a special child.

They got along well after a short while and my daughter turned out like Miss Lee and always looked forward to having more lessons with her.

Leah

I'm Japanese pre-university student in Malaysia, through the recommendation of my parents' friend, teacher Lee helped me a lot with my IELTS and English communication problems. Lessons are very relaxing, easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend teacher Zara Sofia Lee as a personal tutor.

Mina O\'connor

We are Irish/Malay family with 2 boys. I was recommended by my Singaporean friend to Ms. Lee, learning that her daughter scored full A under the guidance of Ms Lee. We had Ms. Lee for exam preparation. She is a honest and dedicated teacher, who is direct and straight forward to the points in addressing the progress and performance. She is trustworthy and we count on her for the learning matter. Thank you.

Tan Boon Hin

I'm a Malaysian business owner with limited formal languages communication skill. I have several English tutors at the same time, but Ms. Lee is the one who can teach me with multilingual explanation. She interviewed me in depth to understand my background so to analyse and gauge a realistic learning expectation with me. She is a strategist. She is also a punctual, dedicated and no-nonsense person. Now, she is also a private tutor for my wife and children.

Kim Ji Hyun

We are 2 Korean brothers studying in Malaysia. My younger brother failed in his English accessment test. As a result, he was unable to enroll into the school. We were recommended by a Korean friend to Ms Lee for English and Chinese home-schooling. My brother is a fun lover and enjoy no-study life. I heard that the korean friend's son became looking forwarding to go to the class of Ms. Lee after 3-month of resistance. So we gave it a try. My brother told me that Ms. Lee is a good teacher and he respects her, although she could be strict sometimes. I thank Ms. Lee because she is a responsible, caring teacher. My parents are in Korea, but we can count on Ms. Lee as our home tutor.

Takanori Suzuki

I'm a Japanese expat in Kuala Lumpur and I was facing critical dilemma of communication in English. Ms. Lee was a responsible tutor and she dedicated to plan and tailored-make a learning syllabus which only for my personal needs - listening and pronunciation. I was a very busy employee so learning progress was not speedy but Ms. Lee was very patient, considerate and professional in guiding and couching me about my difficulties, and i managed to overcome my old habit of strong Japanese accent, at the same time improved in my listening, grammar and vocabulary. Besides, Ms. Lee also helped me a lot with my presentation in which, she is not only having a good background of it, but also a very personable person herself. As a result, I let my wife and son learn from Ms. Lee too. I'm also very thankful for her flexibility in accommodating my busy schedule. She is also punctual person. I highly recommend Ms. Lee if you are looking for a professional private tutor.

Janice

We are a Singaporean expat family with 2 kids, struggle finding good tutor for slow learners. I highly recommend Ms. Lee as a tutor.

Nick

I am of British national, staying in the UK and learning online piano lessons with Donovan. Great start, great teacher! Good first piano lesson with Donovan today.

Ashira Malka

I am learning online Mandarin (Kung Fu specialism) with Donovan; and I am a US citizen residing in the US. I have studied many languages with many teachers and his lessons are stellar and outstanding! He is very organized and tailored the lessons to my interest – which means his lessons really held my interest! Donovan is indeed an excellent teacher in many ways: He is fun, bright, attentive and as detail-oriented as you want to be! You get to pick your own level of detailed orientation within your own lessons and it can even vary lesson-by-lesson; I have never met a teacher like this before!

Joshua Chun Wah Kam

I am a doctorate student at an American University, currently doing a piece of research and writing a dissertation on Asian food, which requires the use of Cantonese. Donovan is an incredibly diligent, thoughtful, prepared tutor. His online Cantonese course is like a classroom experience, and he is both prepared for the course material as well as willing to follow up on more complex questions for the next lesson. His teaching style is adaptable to the needs of students (in my case, Cantonese lessons - I have a very specific research focus and he has been more than willing to accommodate). In addition, he blends some elements of traditional Chinese education with a western outlook and pedagogical style. Would highly recommend him.

Marc

I am a senior partner of a German law firm based in Germany; and I have been taking online legal English (English for lawyers) lessons from Mr. Donovan. I often travel between Germany and Kuala Lumpur for work purpose and his online lessons match this requirement. He is a very reliable teacher who listens to exactly what I want. He takes time for my questions and uses very good learning materials. We always have interesting discussions. This makes the lessons fun.

Steve

A positive and patient piano instructor that makes me feel good and tailors the online piano classes to my style. Mr Donovan is doing a great job in helping me to prepare for the piano examination of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), London. In fact, I sat for and passed my ABRSM Initial Grade Piano Exam with the highest ranking of distinction on the first attempt, after having just seven lessons with Donovan. And I am based in the US and often travel to Beijing, China for work purpose. Highly recommended.

Alika Jean-Jacques

Mr. Donovan is an awesome Mandarin teacher. Patient and knowledgeable, with great energy to keep kids engaged. Highly recommend.

Great class, very enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

Malcolm

I am an adult enrolled in this mandarin class with Mr. Donovan. I am currently working in a medical field which requires me to speak to mandarin speaking clients. I took medical chinese language classes with Mr Donovan, it is conducted online which is convenient as I have a tight schedule due to work. Based on the classes with Mr Donovan, I can vouch that he is very passionate about teaching. Every class that he delivers are concise and he provides suitable materials for you to learn before classes. He is able to draw your attention by making the class more captivating in various ways. His professionalism is commendable because of the way he conducts the classes on time and well mannered in guiding me. Online classes with Mr Donovan are both practical and extremely convenient. I would recommend to anyone who needs to learn mandarin (At any level of mandarin and age) with Mr Donovan.

Irfan

I am an adult. Working in the automotive sales industry. I am learning Spoken Cantonese from Mr Kwan. The lessons provided is through online video call. It’s been 3 months already since I started to learn from him. Before I join Mr Kwan’s Lessons, my knowledge of Cantonese was completely zero. After a while, I noticed that I could possibly understand my colleagues speaking to each other. it’s not that much, but that is what i can say good progress for me. I feel there is so much improvement week after week. this has been useful in my daily working life. Online lessons from Mr Kwan are very effective. Mr Kwan’s passion, commitment, dedication, patience, flexibility in lesson rescheduling, communication (clarity in lesson delivery), organization (notes/learning material given to me), professionalism (manners in speaking, answering my doubts and replies; timeliness in starting lessons), generosity in extra lesson time given to me in his teaching is way up to the standard and unexpected. His styles of teaching i.e. friendliness, engagement, hands-on & practical approach are very straightforward and easy to communicate. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Mr Kwan to be your Cantonese teacher. I believe his other lessons will definitely be the same standard and teaching style as well.

He is really good to make someone focus on his class yet fun to learn!

Very thorough in preparation of teaching materials and very attentive to details. I'm currently a student of Master's degree in MBA, studying English with Kwan. The teaching materials prepared are highly useful and relevant to my MBA Course. I can easily understand the teacher's teaching, the teacher communicated clearly and effectively to me. My 3 children, including a secondary school student, are currently learning with Kwan too. He is very patient with them. Lessons are fun and inspiring. Kwan also give me and my children much extra lesson time for each lesson. I and my children can easily understand the teacher's teaching very well. Teacher is able to pinpoint weaknesses, give advices and improve them. Thus, from my point of view, Kwan is very qualified and experience in teaching English to varied English levels of various learners. He is very dedicated and responsible educator who genuinely care about students' learning. I highly recommend Kwan for almost any level of English learning. Bravo!

He is very dedicated to the teachings. He allots extra time on all lessons to make sure the student really grasps the weeks lesson, making it easy to practice over the week till the next lesson. I am an adult residing in Kuching , Sarawak and he is from KL, yet his online classes are so good that it is like having a real teacher beside you. He uses excellent audio visual equipment for his teachings so all online classes have been extremely smooth and with no communication disruptions. His years of experience serves well as he is able to render the lesson and acknowledge the mistakes instantly and provide immediate rectification. I enjoy my classes with him and hope to learn the piano in record time under his tutelage.

Mrs Low

Our toddler loves Ms L from the first class. We tried to teach him Mandarin, being native speakers ourselves, but he did not seem to catch on. After just two lessons with Ms L, he started dropping Mandarin words. Ms L is always well-prepared for each lesson with fun, creative and engaging materials. She would also observe the learning progress of our toddler and modify her lessons to suit his learning needs. We all look forward to her class each week.
