Real conversations, real results! I have no background in linguistics, but I can say confidently that I have deep understanding of how Malay works in real life. 🍃 My presence here is to assist Malay learners to speak Malay as naturally as they can, with the help of my self-created learning materials, based on my observation of how native speakers speak on a daily basis. ⚠️ If a student is learning conversational Malay, it is CRUCIAL to know the difference between Malay's spoken and written versions, so that they are using suitable vocabulary words and natural sentence structures.

What if your weakness is just a different strength? Then I’ll teach to that, not against it. I have been teaching happily for the past 20 years in government, international schools and online here on Italki. My ultimate goal is for you to reach your full potential as a language learner and for you to leave each class with a satisfied 🌃afterglow. When you feel inspired and helped, I’m all smiles- do you know that's what makes my day too? I am interested in what my students have to say. I enjoy one-to-one communication. I want to help you achieve your learning goals with lessons catered to your needs. I am relaxed and down to earth. I am inspired by your enthusiasm as a student, who despite your busy schedule, still make language learning a priority in your daily life. You have a unique learning style. Once we brainstorm an enjoyable study plan and routine, my students will progress towards their goals with confidence and an understanding of the subtle nuances of the language. That way, they become fluent speakers who are culturally aware and enriched. If speaking practice is what you’re looking for with a sizzle of oomph🪄 in your vocabulary, I'm here. Plus, if you want explanations for advanced grammar or if you just want to discover joyful, creative ways to learn, I'll be delighted to be your teacher. I teach with joy because every lesson should feel like an adventure, no? My hobbies are creating flashcards and podcasting Language Tips on Italki. ✔️ Just browsing?

I don't use the textbook in my lesson! Let's have conversation from Lesson 1! I specialize in conversation. I don't use the textbook in my lesson. If you practice conversation with me sometimes you will find that I speak a lot than you and sometimes I make you speak more than me. The idea is, while I speak, I want you to listen and pay attention, indirectly learn how to construct correct sentences, how to sound natural and through a lot of listening, you will familiar with the correct pronunciation. Then it comes to your turn to speak.

    This is my child's 2nd lesson with Teacher Yuwanes, and my child was already speaking plenty of full sentences in Malay. My husband and I are pleasantly surprised at her speed of learning. Teacher Yuwanes is very engaging and encouraging, she is also super flexible in class scheduling. Glad that I have signed up for 10 x 1 hour lessons for my child.

    Inilah kelas yang kelimabelas atau keenambelas dengan Yusri. Tak boleh mengeluh kerana gaya mengajarnya sangat sesuai untuk pelajar macam saya. Dia hampir cakap sepanjang kelas dalam Bahasa Melayu dan menggunakan hanya sedikit Bahasa Inggeris. Yusri juga memberi saya pelbagai kerja rumah dan topik, supaya saya selalu minat dan bermotivasi. I've had fifteen or sixteen classes with Yusri so far. I have no complaints because his teaching style is very suitable for a learner like me. He also gives various types of homework and topics, so I always feel challenged and never lose interest. Yusri almost never uses English, which is good for getting used to the language.

    Dr Termizi is an unusually gifted teacher, being able to teach three very different languages, Malay, Thai and Cambodian. He is tutoring me in Malay. I have already been learning Indonesian for 4 years with Indonesian tutors and was curious about the differences between Indonesian and Malay. Dr Termizi has been an excellent guide in this regard, and his own passionate interest in languages brings an extra luster to our interactions. It’s very interesting having conversation classes with someone who is sophisticated and cosmopolitan, he brings layers of experience that others may not possess.

    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!

    Adlan is a teacher I would highly recommend to anyone regardless of their language level. He is always well-prepared, provides as many details as you wish, his English is great (if you need it like me sometimes), and he is very pleasant and fun to interact with. I have been taking classes on iTalki since 2019 and I am always looking forward to a class with Adlan although it may be late, I may be busy with something else, etc. -- the lesson with him always makes me happy and I know that I have learnt a lot at the same time too.

    I have been learning Malay from Ayuni and it has been a great experience. Ayuni has an incredible gift for teaching. She provides a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of effort into how she presents the material. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and encouraging. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Bahasa Malaysia.
