Real conversations, real results! Hai, apa khabar semua? 😊 🙋🏻‍♂️I am Ammar from Malaysia.

he best teacher! I’ve been desperately looking for this kind of teacher, not only in Malay but in every language I’m learning. An ability to accurately assess your level and your needs, along with a teaching method that truly helps you improve. Very professional. A rare gem!

Ammar is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered on italki! He keeps the conversation going by asking questions and encourages you to speak in a comfortable and patient manner. I always feel like I get so much value out of our lessons together. Terima kasih, Ammar.

I just finished my first package with Ammar and am booking another one right away. Our weekly hour together is flying by, and I'm making slow but steady progress. As an experienced language learner and teacher, I can absolutely say that Ammar is a great choice for your next/first Malaysian tutor.

This was my first class to brush up on my very rusty Malay. Ammar made it a very pleasant experience and I am sure that no matter your level of Malay, you will make great progress.
