Form 6 / Pre-U (STPM) / A-Level Tutors in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya

Education

TESOL, University of Hertfordshire

Experience

Whenever we talk about experiences, what counts is the quality rather than the quantity. The Englishire project has given me ample opportunities to help English learners of all ages master the language.

 

Some of my coaching adventures in recent years include:

• coaching non-native English speakers to help develop their language skills, grammar and vocabulary
• coaching local and expatriate professionals to help improve their business and conversational English
• coaching business undergraduates in academic writing to help nurture their content management skills
• coaching candidates taking English proficiency tests to help strengthen their language foundations
• coaching schoolchildren to help foster a growth mindset and a lifelong learning culture

Be it directly or indirectly, each of the above has helped refine my approach to language coaching.

Tutoring Approach

Inspirational and educational, the Englishire approach is based primarily on transformative, intuitive and collaborative learning.

Fueled by everything that I got from my 27 years of experience in language learning, Englishire only has one ultimate goal in mind: create an environment that promotes your language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) so that you can gradually pick up the English language the natural way.

Rather than bombard you with tons of information that you can’t relate to, every single activity in Skilletro uses context to facilitate learning.

By getting quality exposure to real-life examples and scenarios, you’ll have a much better idea of how to use the language in everyday situations—whether for academic or work purposes.

Education

Bachelor of Commerce, Economics & Finance (University of Melbourne), Master of Commerce, Applied Economics & Finance (RMIT University)

Experience

A Levels Lecturer in Economics (MCKL) - Current

AUSMAT Lecturer in Economics and Business Management & Enterprise (Sunway College)

Tutoring Approach

The key to success in subjects such as Economics and Business is to have a thorough understanding of the material. Memorising definitions and concepts word for word is highly discouraged. Questions are constantly changing from year to year, as such, making sure that students have the skill to apply theory to different questions and scenarios is my top priority. I identify major key points and concepts of a chapter, and methodically explain them step by step with breaks in between for questions. I make concepts easy to understand by using relevant and relatable examples. I sprinkle in real life examples, current events and updated statistics as well, which students can use to enhance their answers, especially for essay or extended response questions. Stickman drawings are my forte, and have been proven to be exceptionally useful for students to understand complicated topics such as bonds and investments. Combining relatable examples, current events, stickman drawings and plain English explanations, students are able to grasp concepts with ease. My students are exposed to a variety of past year questions, usually after every topic. They are drilled with every section tested in their exams, commonly multiple choice questions (MCQs), short and extended response questions. I provide detailed feedback on homework completed by my students, mainly for subjective or open-ended questions, and explanations for any confusing MCQs. Closer towards exam periods, I carry out time-based practice, to hone my students’ time management skills, which then allows them identify areas of weakness. I cover topics which the student is not too confident in, so no time is wasted explaining something they already know, unless requested. My lessons are a safe space where students are encouraged to ask questions, ensuring there are no gaps in their knowledge of the subject. I have my own resources and materials, accumulated throughout my teaching career which will be provided exclusively to my students. A key benefit my students have is that they can message me at any time to ask for help outside our tuition sessions.

Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested to discuss further. Thanks!   

 

Tutoring Approach

My students love my classes because of the way I relate textbook concepts/theories with real life applications and how I decipher them into something that even a primary school student would be able to understand; they always tell me that their teachers have never make things this easy to understand. Mathematics and Statistics, once you understand them, you will see the point of learning them and know how much sense they could make! Besides, when it comes closer to exams, I'll focus on teach techniques or smarter ways to hack the marking scheme! I plan lessons according to student's need eg what they are weaker in, how do they prefer to learn, the pace etc; in short, I respect and communicate with my students all the time.

Experience

Education

Bachelor of Education (Hons)

Experience

I have a teaching permit to teach Mathematics and also Economics subject which is authorised by Minister of Higher Education (For teach Diploma students). I believe in the practicality of what is taught to the students. So, I try my level best, with the resources at my exposure, to include all possible practical examples in my teachings.

Tutoring Approach

Education

PhD

Experience

I have been Tutoring A-level students in Physics and Maths for over 3 years. Almost all my tutees have improvements in their grades. I also worked as demonstrator at the Sheffield 2nd Year laboratories. I trained students to use experimental equipment and programming languages. Throughout my PhD, I worked as a lab and tutorial demonstrator, teaching research skills and imparting knowledge to undergraduate Physics students.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that the approach you take with a tutee must be flexible. Everybody needs to be approached in a slightly different way in order to maximize their ability to approach a problem on their own when the exam comes around. I would always be willing to give a general overview of the part of the syllabus that the tutee is struggling with, but at the end of the day the tutee and I must work to recognise where they feel their weakest areas are, and change that into something they feel confident about. The strongest learning tool available to the tutee and I will always be past paper / textbook problems, but I prefer not to encourage a tutee to simply memorize a solution. I will try my hardest to teach the tutee the answers to the question, but I also intend to teach them where the answer comes from, without overwhelming them. I will start a session with a recap and ask the student if there are any areas they would like to focus on based on their own insight. Every tutorial I run will then contain an overview of the equations and facts the student will need to face that topic. Over time I will expect the student to be able to recall or recite the techniques they will need to face each topic at the start of the session. The rest of the session is an exercise in confidence building - taking the tutee through questions, asking them to identify the problem, and the techniques required to solve the problem, and then taking them through the solution step-by-step.

I have performed 1-to-1 tuition classes to students in Foundation in Law, A-levels, and LLB. I have started this as a part time career whilst completing my LLB Degree.

Education

Masters in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Experience

I've been teaching for 5 to 6 years now. I've had students of all ages from Primary school goers all the way up to University students. I have a very welcoming & wholesome teaching style that focuses on using the strengths of my students to their advantage by designing lessons that will tap onto their strongest qualities. This approach I find most effective because a confident student with high self esteem and self belief will get the most out of learning.

Tutoring Approach

I plan my lessons by first understanding how the student approaches learning. Not everyone learns the same way and as such I want to be able to deliver the lessons in the most effective way where my students are fully receptive. Lessons will be interactive, participative and also heavily focused on actual practical work as opposed to theoretical only. My lessons and sessions are always light hearted and I give opportunities to the students to take charge of their learning instead of the conventional spoon feeding approach that encourages laziness. Sessions are fun, encouraging and enjoyable.
