MASTERTUITION
Bahasa Malaysia and English Tuition

Master Tuition is having a soft launch for kindergarten How do you hunt for a kindergarten? 1. Have a systematic learning method or programme 2. Good interaction between teachers, students and parents (You are able to follow closely what is your child / children's progress in school, not twice or thrice a year during report card day, but as frequent as possible for teachers and parents's talk. 3. Airy environment) 4. Small scale school (Teachers and students know everyone well and can mix with different age friends. Unlike big school, seldom got chance to mix everyone together) 5. Writing work only at school with all guidance by teachers. From basic to difficult. (Homework only comes on Friday) 6. Parents will get a weekly progress report (Report on what they have learned and what are their weaknesses are? If any of that mention and need attention, parents can take immediate action to follow up and strengthen them simultaneously.) 7. No uniform is needed

Academic based approach is better than play-based approach Have you heard of garbage in and garbage out? In other words, nothing in is nothing out.   For degree students, why should the professors teach students theories and concepts. If you focus on play-based approach, you just ask all degree students to go to universities to do whatever they want. At the end of the day, they learn a lot of things.  Non-sense. If the professors do not teach you anything and based on play-based approach. You have limited input; hence, you have limited quality output.  Just   how do   young kids’ brains develop, and how can we use that information to provide the best learning environment for children? Kindergarten curriculum has also changed radically. Yet last I heard, today’s kids’ brains aren’t developing any differently than previous generations.   Nope, we’ve just changed what we demand at an early age. Now if a five-year-old isn’t sitting still...

No right or wrong answer but depend on you. Play-based approach focuses on play and learn yourself so that your emotional skills can be improved. Academic based approaches, focus on IQ and ventures into social and emotional skills later on. I have two kids. Both of them have studied in academic based enrichment centre: Shichida. In the beginning, I was so worried that they cannot learn emotional and social skills BUT... Initially, no doubts, their IQ is good. When they come to emotional skills and social skills, they are weaker than others. I went to consult a consultant and finally realise it my kids have high IQ so that if I want to improve their social skills, I need to give some reasons. When I start to tell them reasons for doing this and that, they tend to understand. Eventually, their emotional and social skills improve substantially. For example, I went to Langkawi with my kids, my wife and 11 other staff. My wife got burned accidentally. My two kids cried immed...

Play-Based In a play-based program, children choose some activities based on their current interests.  Also called "child-centred" The play-based classroom is broken up into sections:  Section 1: Home  Section 2: Kitchen Section 3: Science area Section 4: Reading corner Section 5: Space with blocks and other toys.  Teachers encourage the kids to play, facilitating social skills along the way.  While they are playing, they learn some social skills and cooperation with others.  Academic  Alternatively, there are academic programs, considered didactic, “teacher-directed,” “teacher-managed.”  In these classrooms, teachers lead the children in a more structured way, planning the activities, then guiding the children in doing them.  This design is aimed at preparing kids for the kindergarten setting.  For the most part, classroom time is devoted to A. learning letters and sounds,  B. Distinguishin...

The truth of kid management:  1. There is no short-cut to teach children. For example, if the child is weak in maths, then we hire a math teacher to teach him. Then, the child can never improve. 100% guarantee.  I have taught more than 1000 children from 4 years to 18 years throughout my career.  My parents think that their kids are weak in maths and the parents start to source for math teacher. I tell you, your kids can never be improved.  2. If you want your kid to improve his / her mathematics, the only way is parents (YOURSELVES).  For example, every time you go out with your children, you can try to incorporate maths in the real life.  With the help of teachers, I guarantee, the results improve substantially.  3. PARENTS, YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE EXCUSES TO YOURSELF. NOT THE CHILD. THE CHILD LEARN FROM YOU ONLY. LIKE FATEHR LIKE SON.  Example, I have come across that 60% of the top management's sons have problems.  Re...

As an adult, we must respect everyone in the world. I respect my previous boss to guide me to be a better teacher now. I respect my parents for sending me to Canada when I was 13 years old. (To be honest to you, I blamed them in the beginning.Now, I would have to say thank you to them) I respect all of the unsung heroes in the world. After I have two cute baby boys, I realised that we must respect our kids. Few years back, I enjoy reading newspaper on my Iphone when my kids were with me. Slowly, my kids grabbed my iphone to play with it. I scolded them fiercely. But, guess what, nothing had gone better. I stopped using my iphone when I am with my kids except for answering the phone call. Then, everything changes overnight. My kids stopped asking for my phone to play. Last week, when I gathered with my relatives during one open house event. I realised it all of the kids played with ipad, iphone, samsung and other gadgets. Two of my kids never touched the electronic devi...

If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. To be a Master Trainer in English throughout Malaysia, I learn that: Example 1: One child who does not like to read Bahasa Malaysia or English, you keep scolding him. To be a teacher, what will you get? Yes, you will be angry and frustrated. At the end of the day, you don't get your problems solved. I think I am borned teacher because when I teach, my frustration disappears in the thin air. If you ask me to entertain friends and customers. I have no interest so that I can never be a salesman. NEVER EVER. First, I try to understand what children want and why don't they study? Second, I start to ask about students' interest and forget about his studies first. Third, I will research more about what the children like. I.e. The child said that he likes to play with angry birds game, I will try to study about the game. Fourth, the everything about the same and convert ever...
