I started giving tuition when I was 5 years into teaching A level Chemistry in a private college. Since then I had also tutored hundreds of students in a one to one and small groups. These students come from private and international colleges; national and Chinese independent schools, and overseas students on holiday.

I graduated from Universiti Putra Malaysia with a B. Sc. I started teaching A level Chemistry in the early 1990s in Methodist College, moving on to PRIME College, and finally in UCSI College Kuala Lumpur, all together spanning a total of 30 years. I have also taught in an international school
During the same period, I had also personally tutored in the homes for A Level, IB, AQA and SACE Chemistry. Besides A Level chemistry I had also tutored IGCSE and SPM Chemistry.

You learn at your own pace in personally designed lessons which have been constantly upgraded to suit different individuals.
Past year examination questions are personally chosen for practice to strengthen your understanding.
Discussions on the problems faced in these questions contribute to a major portion of your learning process.
