Private Tutors in Malaysia : Four things you need to know

In Malaysia, most of the parents are working full-time and thus seldom have time to guide their children’s studies. It is also difficult to keep up with the latest syllabus as it is always changing. Therefore, most of the parents send their children to tuition centres/home tuition in Malaysia. Here in Malaysia, we are truly blessed with many great learning centres and tuition centres. On top of that, we have the convenience and possibility of hiring a home tutor who can guide our children at their own learning pace.

1. Benefits of hiring a private tutor for your kids

1. Private home tutor can save time. If you are in big cities such as Penang, Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru, chances are that you experience traffic jam while on the road during peak hours. Imagine that if tutor comes to your house and teach your kid, wouldn’t that save a lot of time, which can be used in a better way?

2. Private home tutor can provide personalised attention. Whenever your children have problems with academic/homework, they can ask the tutor directly during the lesson. Any mistake or problem could be pointed out and corrected by the tutor immediately.

3. Private home tutor teach at student’s learning pace. This advantage is very important when the student faces difficulty in a certain subject such as mathematics, tutor could teach at a pace where the student can follow since it is one-to-one home tuition.

4. Private home tutor can provide flexibility in arranging timetable. When student has a change in school plan, he/she may want to change the tuition time, home tutor usually allows it as compared to tuition centre where the time needs to be followed by a large group of students.

5. Private home tutor can also assist with specific learning obstacles. Be it dyslexia, ADHD, attention issues or behavioural problems, a specialised and experienced tutor can help the student to achieve their best.


2. How many different types of private tutors are there?

In general, private home tutors can be grouped into 3 categories:

a) Student Tutors. These tutors are young and friendly, usually aged 18 and above. They are recent college graduate or diploma graduate. Their rates are lower and their timing is also more flexible, usually teaching primary school students.

b) School Teachers. These tutors are also school teachers. They are certified by the Ministry of Education and are always updated with the latest school syllabus. Thus, they usually charge higher price, however, timing may not be so flexible compared to student tutors.

c) Graduate/Undergraduate tutors. These tutors are usually part-timers, who are still studying at university. They are good role models for the students as they can show them the possibility of entering into great school when they are adults. Thus, they provide students with the motivation to pursue great results. Prices are between what student tutors charge and school teachers charge.


3. What are the rates of private tutors?

The rates depend on qualification and experience. Below is the average price per hour for all subjects (Mathematics, Science, Mandarin, English, Bahasa, etc) extracted from www.myqualitytutor.com

When comes to learning, parents should treat education as investment because knowledge will
change the student’s life. Thus, for a long-term view, having home tutor could greatly improve
student’s academic and thus a wider option of opportunities in future.

4. I’ve decided to hire a home tutor, what should I do next?
Many parents usually hire tutors based on recommendations from other parents. In addition, parents could also hire private home tutors through tuition providers such as My Quality Tutor, My Private Tutor, Tuition Hero and Champion Tutor. Engaging these agencies are usually free-of-charge, what parents have to do is just submit forms through their website. Of the many platforms, My Quality Tutor is very user friendly and has a list of recommended tutors for me to pick from based on past reviews. Also, the coordinator, Mr Hong clearly understands what the parents want and provide the suitable qualified tutor profiles. They have more than 10, 000 private home tutors in Malaysia.

Red Penguin @ TTDI

While exploring delivery meals during the MCO, I discovered a friendly neighbourhood eatery operating from Taman Tun that has something for every appetite. Their menu ranges from Western to Asian food, serving from biryani rice to burgers. I adore their burgers for their juicy marinated patties and have bookmarked this restaurant for their 100% pure fruit juices. They started by being an online restaurant and will be opening for dine-in soon in Taman Tun. As I tasted their rice, burger and pasta, I found the restaurant to be reliable for affordable and tasty meals.

Customers can make their meals a set with pocket salad, fresh fruit juice and soup. Add RM15 for all three, RM10 for any 2 and RM5 for any one.

A meal with my family at home from Red Penguin

Thank you abang delivery!

Pleased with the neat and biodegradable packaging

When it arrived, I was pleased with the presentable packaging that are biodegradable. Each item is properly labled and comes with a thank you note which gave me a warm sense of gratitute. My appetitie surely increased when feeling good!

Kashmri Briyani- Mutton Mutiny (Boneless) RM 8 comes with gravy and vegetable yogurt dalca

Fluffy bryiani rice infused with herbs and spices served with chunks of tender and flavourful mutton meat

Looking at the menu, their briyani rice range caught my eyes as it is described to be made from a 150-year-old family recipe. Ignoring it would be a crime. I had to test their expertise in cooking meat by ordering mutton biryani.

The order came in a generous portion fit for 2 persons. The biryani rice was unctuously loose and each grain was infused with herbs and spices. The chunks of mutton were tender and one can tell that deep marination was done. The dish is served with vegetable dalcha cooked with carrots, potatoes, brinjals, sliced cucumber immersed in cooling fresh homemade yogurt to clean the palate. 

Maharaja Burgers- Beef RM16 comes with corn-based chips and Spicy Signature Malagueta Sauce.
You can choose between charcoal or sesame bun

Relishing the beef burger

Red Penguin just knows the equation to a mouth-watering stack of burger. A hefty 180g of homemade patty is brilliantly paired with an egg for a satisfying meal. The patty was well-seasoned and grilled with juices still locked in. Customers can choose between charcoal or sesame bun when they order any Maharaja Burger

Pasta- Tom Yum Seafood RM16

Bringing the best of the East and West, Red Penguin also features a range of fusion food. Sanders Grilled Chicken, Malagueta Deep Fried Chicken, Paprika Grilled Fish are some of them. The Spaghetti Tom Yum comes with prawns, clams and squid and makes a fulfilling meal.

Fresh juice RM8

Being a fan of fresh fruits, pure fruit juice captures my attention quick. Having tried their mango and watermelon fruit juice, I have to say that I have tagged Red Penguin as my go-to place for a refreshing pick-me-up. 

Mango juice is so satisfying. Comes with pulp!

Love 100% juice!

Traditional Malay Dishes That Originate from Selangor

Being the gateway and the centre of Malaysia, Selangor has an impossible number of food choices from around all the 14 states of the country. Often being overlooked is Selangor’s own gastronomical delights that have been carried down from centuries and its tradition still remains as is. Due to Selangor’s history of former migration back in the early years, some of its settlers were people from different background and country that have resulted Selangor to become culturally diverse. Hence, making the food rich in flavours! Now, giving you the best of Selangor, we highlight here the traditional flavours for you to try making at home.

Pecal

Pecal is a common appetiser that can be found just about anywhere in Selangor. Known to be a traditional Javanese salad that merely consists of vegetables topped with a mouth-watering peanut sauce that can also be served with Ketupat or Lontong. The preparation in making Pecal is extremely simple so you can easily try it at home at any time! The key ingredients to prepare this dish are peanuts or groundnuts for the gravy or which we call ‘kuah’, tofu, bean sprout, long beans and cucumber. It is that easy.

When it comes to preparing this Javanese-Malay dish, you should not miss out on its side dishes which are chicken, fried noodles, long beans, sambal tempe accompanied by white rice that is served in banana leaf!

Sambal Taun

Known as Sambal Taun or Sambal Tahun, this unique dish is famous among Selangorians. It originates from the Javanese early settlers and has become a traditional food of Selangor ever since. This dish is said to be spicy because of the amount of chili used in its preparation. Hence, the name sambal. Here in Selangor, the protein is taken from cow skin but it is commonly switch to either clams, cow lungs or even anchovies, according to one’s preference. Other ingredients needed to complete this one of a kind main dish are red onions, garlic, shrimp paste, coconut milk, oil, tamarind paste, a pinch of salt and sugar. In the past, it is believed that this dish was served during Eid celebration!

Wadai Kipeng

In the tongue of the Banjar people, ‘Wadai’ predominantly means ‘Kuih’, while ‘Kipeng’ is refers to pieces. Back in the day, it has been traditionally practiced by the Banjar community to plate up Wadai Kipeng on their Thanksgiving ceremony! It goes without saying, to prepare this porridge-like dessert, the must-have ingredients are glutinous rice flour, coconut, palm sugar, granulated sugar and some pandan leaves! This is a perfect sweet ending to your meal.

Bahulu Kemboja

We named it the ‘old-timers’ favourite traditional kuih that is still popular up to this day. Bahulu Kemboja can be served whenever you like, be it for breakfast, or even during teatime, well you choose! Having its own speciality, this kuih is sold widely but it is undeniably though to find one that taste as original as the Selangor one today. You can always try making one at home and you may be surprised at what good of a cook you are! To maintain the uniqueness and moisture of the kuih, the ingredients needed are original pandan essence straight from its leaves, wheat flour, rice flour, some coconut milk, eggs, sesame seeds for topping and of course, sugar and salt to give taste!

Tono Soy Milk

This week, I got myself a delicious and nutritious beverage. So yummy that I have decided to create a snack to match it- Burnt Sweet Potato Cake.

Tono crafted soy milk is smooth, silky and fragrant. I like it because its sweetness is mild yet sufficient for taste. Their naturally flavoured options like black sesame and red bean are rich with the ingredient itself. You can tell by their grainy texture. It is a great choice to fulfill my craving for a tasty beverage without compromising on it's health values knowing that most delicious drinks are sugary.

Tono soy milk is available in:
Plain (unsweetened)
Lightly sweetened
Black sesame
Red bean
Yuri matcha
Chocolate

Tono silky smooth soy milk in 6 flavours

Created the Burnt Sweet Potato Cake to match Tono soy milk

Check out how this delicious and nutritious cake is made on my Youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9xzEuMG0Bw

For breakfast or afternoon tea

These soypressos as Tono calls them are organically brewed from non-GMO IP beans from Canada and higher in nutrients. I like it for breakfast and during in between meals. 

This is the story of Tono

One fine day, Tono was bringing back all the beans he has collected back to his home. On his journey home, he started to feel hungry and tired. As usual, Tono wanted to wash his food before he consume it but he only found a nearby hot spring.

He then walked to the hot spring and started to wash the beans. However, he did not anticipate that the beans would split due to the heat. The split beans turned the spring water creamy and aromatic.

Out of curiosity, he went for a dip and he found out that the spring water is rich in soy essence. Consequently, he went back to his home town and returned with his whole tribe for the milky hot spring. This metaphor is representation of what the cafe bring to its consumers.

They also serve tau fu fah and soy ice-cream in their outlet in Damansara Uptown. During the MCO, check out their website to order https://www.tonosoymilk.com/

Identifying the Real Essential Workers During MCO

When it comes to wages, they are called unskilled workers, defining them as using minimal intelectual abilities and ranging them in the lower income group. But when it comes to a crisis, they are called essential workers, leaving them working where it is most dangerous.

This is how humans categorize ourselves. The Covid-19 situation made it obvious which jobs truely matter when it comes to survival of humankind. Do we watch an NBA player or a footballer to get our food or to clear the garbage? Yet how is it that the so-called essential ones end up at the bottom of the salary range? Is physical strength not as worthy as the intellect that many selfish and conceited people have? Or we simply gave some jobs more privillege that they deserve based on our insatiable addiction which we call passion or interest.

Having dabbled in the waste management industry, I can testify that the contributions of a rubbish collector is tremendous yet under appreciated and taken for granted. The sacrifice of comfort and health is unseen. Just because they are less educated or under privileged, their hands deserve to be covered in filth? We don't see a fair allocation of compensation for workers that are truely important. Without the janitor, the storekeeper and the deliveryman, what is left of us.

Shopping In Times of Corona

Kerana Corona, I don’t sleep-in during weekends. I have no choice because it takes just a fraction of a minute to determine if I spend the rest of the day waiting for my turn to get into the supermarket. I drag myself out of bed to prepare myself to the battlefield of the Ketua Rumah kind before even taking breakfast. I strap that mask across my face and load up my disinfectant wipes. Trousers which will have to go straight into the washing machine after this trip, have to have pockets for me to slip in my credit cards, cash, handphone and contain my car keys. My handbag has forgotten how it is like to go out with me because I cannot risk having her touching things nearby especially if her owner can sometimes lose her grace. The hair has to be pinned up so that it doesn’t sweep on any surface. The night before, I will call for any last orders in the family because I will not be able return home till the dusk if I were to re-queue.

Despite the fuss of getting out of the house, I have to admit that ticking items off the shopping list is therapeutic. But the therapy is short-lived because checking out of the supermarket requires another heave of energy. Pushing items from the cart to the counter while making sure they don’t fall off the other end and keeping an eye of on the items scanned so that they won’t be mistakenly keyed in twice amid the heap of groceries that I created requires some effort. Then there is that moment when I have to dump everything into the trolley quickly so that I don’t keep the cashier and the next person in line waiting in frustration. After that only can I push the wobbly trolley to my car just to pass by a couple who decided to do grocery shopping in pairs.

Although grocery shopping is different now, it is nothing compared to what our frontliners are doing. I feel grateful that my basic necessities can still be met while gawking at the people who unabashedly flout the MCO rules.
