About Me
I received my early education in Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan Enam, Bandar Baru Bangi, where I got 5 A’s in Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) 2006. Then, I was offered to enter the cluster school, Sekolah Menengah Jalan Empat, and scored 7 A’s and 1 B for Geography in Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) in 2009. I made a hard decision in form 4 to move from the cluster school because they only offered the Pure Science Stream with elective variations of Biology, Prinsip Perakaunan, and Lukisan Kejuruteraan, and it was compulsory to take Physics, Chemistry, and Additional Mathematics besides other mandatory subjects. So, I went to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bandar Baru Bangi, where I was offered the same pure science stream class, but I declined and chose the Prinsip Perakaunan class without pure science subjects. In addition, I took Additional Mathematics, Ekonomi Asas, and one extra subject, Perdagangan, which I studied by myself. Surprisingly, I scored 2A+’s for Sains as well as Sejarah. 1B for Additional Mathematics, 1C+ with an ACCA certificate, and 6A’s for the rest of the subjects, making it all 2A+’s, 6A’s, 1B, and 1C+ for Sijil Menengah Rendah (SPM) batch 2011. Institut Perdidikan Guru (IPG) offered me the Sejarah course, where I passed the first election as well as the interviews; however, I was rejected because they learnt that I am not a bumiputra, as my parents are not Malaysian citizens. The same happened for Kolej Profesional Baitulmal. So, I went to Kolej University Islam Antarabangsa Selangor (KUIS), which is now known as Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS), to take a Diploma in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) and graduated in 2015 with a CGPA of 3.24. I have a passion for teaching and have over seven years of experience as a teacher and tutor. I did my practicum at Sekolah Rendah Integrasi Bandar Baru Bangi for six months before Sekolah Agama Integrasi Tahfiz Khalifah hired me to become their academic teacher. I have been a replacement teacher for two contracts in Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan Enam, Bandar Baru Bangi, where some of my teachers in my primary school years became my co-workers. Next, I was hired at Comprehensive Training and Consultancy as an English trainer for primary school students. After that, Math Clinic Tuition Centre hired me to teach Bahasa Melayu and English to standard five to form two students. Then I moved to Bandar Saujana Putra, where I was hired by Smart Maths Tuition Centre as a Bahasa Melayu and English tutor for all levels, from standard one to SPM students. Over the years, I still do private tutoring. However, I have never had experience teaching online because I prefer the physical method where I can communicate face-to-face with my students and do activities together.
Teaching Method(s)
I employ a student-centric approach in my tutoring, where I understand the individual needs of each child to help them develop skills on their own. I used a variety of methods to cater to different types of learners. I use music, rhymes, and chants for auditory and verbal learners, as well as physical movements for kinaesthetic learners, videos, pictures, and DIY materials for visual learners, and games for physical, social, and solitary learners. I like to teach using authentic materials and relate my lessons to our real-life experience. My vision for teaching is to provide my students with adequate language skills for them to use throughout their lives besides scoring in examinations. Though I've worked with middle and high school students, I have the most experience with primary school students.
