你好! Apa khabar? Hello! I’m Alvin from Penang Island, Malaysia, a multilingual country. I can speak in Malay, Mandarin, and English (我能说马来文, 中文和英文). I simplify language learning and make it fun.
I hold a Master of Education in TESOL (Language Teaching Specialization) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGCE). Please click the “Resume & Certificates” tab to view the details.
I have 3 years of formal teaching experience (both online and in schools in Malaysia) and over 10+ years of experience educating in community settings. During my Master’s, I researched how digital tools enhance online student engagement and continue to update my teaching skills.Me as a Teacher
I help beginners and students learn faster, gain confidence, and speak naturally from the very first class. I explain clearly in Mandarin, Malay, and English (我能用中文、马来文和英文来解释) so you’ll always understand.
I help students to learn faster, stay motivated, see real progress every week, and be able to use what they learn in real-life situations (You can read their feedback in the reviews below). My lessons & teaching style
I understand the challenges many learners face, such as pronunciation, grammar, and sentence structure issues. We’ll work on them step by step.
I make learning fun and easy with pictures, games, and activities to help you build your vocabulary and language skills.
Book a lesson so we can discuss your goals and see what I can do to help you reach for the stars! Let’s start your learning journey together and see how easy and rewarding it can be!My teaching material
