IELTS academic Results: Band 8 overall, 1st attempt with minimum 7 in each component I had an enjoyable experience learning from Ms Dorothy and I believe there are a few reasons on why others should learn from her as well: 1. Clear & easy to understand 2. Identifying areas of weaknesses & providing target practices 3. Relaxed atmosphere As long as you put in the effort to understand and improve, she will guide you through it.
Despite the short amount of time of less than a week before my test date, I was able to achieve my target IELTS band in writing thanks to the feedback and guidance from Miss Dorothy.
I had Dorothy to coach me for IELTS writing component, and she did a great job in identifying my weakness! I managed to score a 7.0 after getting 6.5 in multiple attempts. I cannot thank her enough. She took her time even when she was away from work, to ensure that my works are marked and followed up on my progress. She is an amazing tutor!
I took IELTS Academic with Ms. Dorothy this time around. Prior to this I had taken IELTS GT. Ms. Dorothy is a very dedicated, patient and supportive tutor. Through a short period of time, I had managed to get my skills sharpened for my exam, which I managed to receive my desired results. I am very grateful for the encouragement and support.
I was provided with a limited time to prepare for my IELTS, and Ms. Dorothy knew how to handle my situation and she straight away informed me which areas I needed to focus on. Overall, she is an experienced teacher and has guided me on all aspects of IELTS.
Her classes are very fun to be in and I like her teaching methods and would like her to teach my class again
Hi, Ms. Alia, First of all, thank you so much for everything. Your Ethos class has always been such a joy, and not even once did it feel boring. I truly enjoyed every session we had together, and honestly, I don’t think Ethos would’ve been half as fun with any other lecturer. You’ve always had this amazing ability to keep the class lively and engaging for the full three hours, something I deeply appreciate. While I often find myself struggling to stay awake in other classes, yours made time fly by effortlessly. Your calm demeanor and the way you handle the class make it such a relaxing environment for us, and I always felt motivated to attend without fail. It’s genuinely sad knowing we won’t be having any more classes with you :( . I can only hope that the lecturers I meet in the future will be as fun, kind, and inspiring as you have been. Thank you again for being such an incredible lecturer!
Ms Alia is a dedicated, fun teacher who never fails to make Ethos exciting. She has a way of making every lesson valuable and engaging. Ms Alia is always optimistic creating an environment where students feel motivated and uplifted. I would like to express my gratitude towards Ms Alia for teaching us and always encouraging us.
Hi Ms. Alia. I am Ulfa from Girly Pops. I can’t express enough how much your guidance and kindness have meant to me during our time together in Ethos class. Whenever I walked into class feeling stressed or in a bad mood, your calming presence, humor, and the way you connected with us lifted my spirits instantly. You have a gift for making everything seem brighter, and I’m so grateful for how you helped me, and all of us feel understood and supported. You taught us more than just the ethos course materials. The life skills, and the positive energy you brought to class are things I’ll carry with me long after this class is over. Your kindness and empathy are unforgettable ? and I can truly say that I’ve learned and grown so much, not just in knowledge but in emotional strength because of you ❤️? I’m deeply saddened that we won’t have the chance to learn from you anymore. But I hold on to the hope that, as you mentioned, we’ll see each other around campus or during exam docket collection time ? Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, for your support, and for making such a difference in my life. I’ll always be thankful for the time I had in your class. And for the rate of your teaching, I would give INFINITY ♾️/ INFINITY ♾️ ♥️?

I am delighted to write this review for Miss Yeoh, who has been teaching phonics to my 5-year-old and 2-year-old. The progress my children have made under her guidance is nothing short of remarkable.For my 5-year-old, Miss Yeoh has created an engaging and interactive learning environment that keeps him excited about each session. The lessons are tailored perfectly to his developmental stage, combining fun activities with educational content. This approach has significantly improved his phonetic skills, and I am amazed at how quickly he is learning to read and recognize sounds.

Look no further if you are searching for a home tutor to guide your little one in learning during their formative years. I would say that as parents we were fortunate enough to stumble upon Ms Yeoh's profile, and she definitely exceeded our expectations. One of the things that our 4 year old daughter looks forward to now are her lessons with Ms Yeoh. Not only is Ms Yeoh engaging during the lessons, she has an ability to make learning simple so that it becomes enjoyable.

He has the most patience in teaching from any other teacher I know. Any math or add math questions can ask him, he would be glad to teach you, his explanation is really clear and understandableðŸâÂ. I would ask him to teach me more for further math in the future.
In a nutshell, you really helped me out by understanding where and what I didnââ¬â¢t know! W/no prior add math, you had to essentially teach me the whole syllabus within 2 months. It was a struggle at first but you helped break down different topics into easily understandable lessons ðŸË And even though later on in the more challenging parts of A-level math, you would take the time to go over the chapters and show me the different ways to tackle problems. Itââ¬â¢s hard to say just how much your help has pushed me through my course! Here are my results: A-level Maths: A* A-level Further Maths: A
Mr Edmund is patient in his teaching. He will find different ways to make you understand the methods in solving the math problems with extra exercises provided in class. His unique way of teaching makes math subject interesting!
I'm really grateful to my tutor - Edmund for guiding and teaching me with my Add Maths & Maths! I had a hard time keeping up with classes but Edmund helped me learn everything I needed to get a Good score or B+ & A respectively! 🥰ðŸâÂ
Although I started out with a strong dislike of maths, Mr Edmund helped me find joy and confidence in it. His determination to teach us to truly understand the material, and not simply answer the exam questions, is what sets him apart from other maths teachers I've had. His patience and resilience with my classmates and I (despite our incompetence at times) was admirable, and I'll always be grateful for the knowledge I've learned from him.
I took Econometrics with Ms Elaine.She shall teach you from scratch.There are things you understand in lay man's term and she will guide to explain in formal/exam format way.Students might recall just a snippet of certain topics but when you explain to her on just that small part,she help you recall the whole topic. She'll explain the rationale of the formula and she knows exactly what each detail means.She'll relate the formula with the graph so you understand what the graph means and you know how to read the graph. She simplify the method to calculate the formula such as substitution/differentiation (that we learn from SPM/GCE). She shall remind us that the calculus is not complicated at all, it seems complicated because we panic too much.
Elaine helped me with my UNI Statistics subject. She's very good at explaining the ideas behind the formulas and make them very easy to understand. She's very friendly and helpful, even outside of class time.
Heâs very good when it comes to teaching and explaining to get the student to understand better, also uses a more entertaining and fun way of teaching to make the lessons less boring. Overall a very helpful and one of the better tutors out there.
I could adapt his teaching skills. I am more confident to answer my Sejarah question. I could understand precisely the story flow.
Anthony Tee is a very kind, hardworking and dedicated tutor who teaches my son the most boring subject in his very own way and making it interesting for easy understanding. Being a postgraduate student himself in PhD/Medical Microbiology, he sure sets a very good example to his students. Thumbs up Anthony!
Very humble and a good teacher as well. Patient and steady about the lesson. Overall a good teacher.
Really prepares for the tutoring sessions and tries his best to accommodate to students' needs
Always sure on what to do. Very helpful.
