Hi! My name is Cikgu Thilagavathy, and I have over 3 years of experience as a part-time tutor, teaching students at both primary and secondary school levels.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Science (Chemistry) and have taught a range of core and elective subjects. At the secondary level, I specialize in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics, while at the primary level, I teach Malay, English, and Mathematics. Some of the key strengths I bring to my teaching include:
1) Exam-focused answering techniques
2) Simplified methods to help students easily understand complex topics
One of my proudest achievements is helping students who once struggled in Chemistry and Physics to achieve A grades in their SPM examinations—a result of consistent guidance, personalized support, and effective teaching strategies.

I believe that every student has a unique learning style. Therefore, I adopt a student-centered approach and use flexible teaching methods tailored to their individual needs.
Some of the techniques I apply include:
1) Guided practice and focused revision, especially in preparation for exams
2) Mind maps to help students retain key information
3) Progressive practice questions tailored to different levels of difficulty to ensure step-by-step understanding
To help students score well in exams, I train them with:

1) Techniques to identify key words in questions
2) Time management skills during exams
3) Answering strategies based on the actual exam format
My goal is to not only improve academic performance but also to build students' confidence and interest in learning.
