Malay Tutor (Primary Level)

I have been tutoring Bahasa Melayu for the past 8 years since 2020. I tutor young children as young as 6 years to 15 years of age and have committed to several students for a few years. These students of mine come from different backgrounds - so whether you are Chinese, Indian, Eurasian, or not from here, you are welcome to come look for me if you want to brush up on you/or your child's Malay language.

As a Singaporean who went through the MOE Syllabus in Singapore, I know what it is like for students to prepare for Malay tests/exams. Normally, I prepare assessment books and create my own interactive games for children (especially those below 12years) to better engage them in Bahasa Melayu.

I create games using a website where they get to read English-Malay translations and get tested on their understanding. These games include, grammer tests, expressions, "peribahasa" (idioms) and simple phrases that are part of the school's syllabus so they remain relevant and still engaging to them. As a tutor, I make sure that they can remember, understand, and use them in their daily speaking or writing. During sessions, I keep things light and not so intense (unless the parents say otherwise! ).

Aside from tutoring, I am an MOE Certified Malay instructor (Intermediate). I have taught in a classroom setting in several schools where I introduced non-Malay students to basic language skills. This ensures that they are more familiar with phrases and words that explain Malay customs in a social setting. The things I teach them has made them more confident in speaking basic Malay in everyday interactions regardless of where they come from.

Whether they are meeting someone who speaks Malay, are Malaysian in their day-to-day speaking, or simply visiting our neighbouring countries, Malaysia/Indonesia as a start, they can learn the language quickly and with ease.
