Hi! π My name is Sulia and I am a Bruneian from Brunei π§π³ which is a small country located in Borneo Island π in South east Asia. Before moving to Switzerland, I have done my PhD in Italy for three years and I have graduated in September 2022. During my stay in Italy, I have met many people from different countries with a vast array of cultures and languages which I have grown an interest to. I am currently living in Switzerland where I work as a researcher in the university here. I speak English, Malay, Indonesian and some Italian. In my free time I like running, hiking and watching movies! We can talk about anything such as travel, music, movies and etc.Me as a Teacher
I am a friendly π and an adventurous personβοΈ. I started teaching Malay, English and Indonesian to foreigners and I have done language exchange during my stay abroad in Italy especially to people who want to improve their English. I speak Malay and Indonesian which are also my native language. Malay and Indonesian are languages spoken in four countries in South east Asia πΊ which includes Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. So if you are interested to learn these Malay languages, I can teach you basic communication skills π£ for your trips or even if you want to learn a new language, I am the teacher for you!

Dr Sulia is a very versatile tutor. After I told her that I had some foundation in Bahasa Indonesia, she was able to pitch the trial lesson at a level that was a good balance of comfort vs challenge for me. Definitely looking forward to learning more from her.

Dr. Sulia is an incredible online Malay teacher. With over 30 lessons together, I can confidently say she's not your average instructor. She's incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and always there for her students, both in and out of class. Her teaching style is exceptional, effortlessly breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible bits. She keeps things lively with interactive activities and real-life examples. Whenever I have questions or need help, Dr. Sulia is lightning-fast with her responses. She goes the extra mile, providing personalized feedback and extra resources. Thanks to her, my language skills have improved significantly, and I've developed a deep appreciation for Malay culture. If you're searching for a down-to-earth and amazing teacher, Dr. Sulia is the one to choose for an unforgettable language-learning journey.

It has been a pleasant experience learning Bahasa Melayu from Dr Sulia so far. She is patient with her facilitation, yet knows how much to push my limits so that I feel sufficiently challenged during class. Terima kasih atas masa tambahan hari ini, cikgu!

My two boys aged 7 and 11, have been having regular lessons with Dr. Sulia for the last 6 months or so. She is very organised and tailors the lessons specifically for each child and their level/aptitude. My older boy especially loves his lessons and looks forward to each one. He transitioned easily from half-hour lessons to a full hour each week. My younger boy isn't as keen but Sulia makes an effort to find out his interests to see how she can make the lessons more appealing for him. Will highly recommend Sulia to anyone looking to learn Malay!
