I'm Teacher Cheng, a certified retired educator with over two decades of teaching experience. Teaching has always been my calling, as I derive immense satisfaction from witnessing the spark of understanding light up students' faces when they conquer challenges they once found daunting.
Originally from Malaysia, I am proficient in English, Malay (my national language), Mandarin, Cantonese, Teochew, and Hock Kian. Aside from my passion for teaching, I find joy in reading and exploring new destinations. I've had the privilege of journeying through New Zealand, Spain, Ireland, China, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Turkey, Jordan, and Australia.
My teaching journey spans primary and secondary education, covering subjects such as Chinese, English, and Mathematics. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in TESL and a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education, I take pride in tailoring my lessons to meet the unique needs of each student. I believe in gradually progressing from simpler to more complex exercises. Beyond adhering to the curriculum, my teaching approach incorporates valuable life skills and a positive outlook.
Recognizing the individuality of each student, I am committed to understanding your aspirations and helping you enhance your language skills, self-assurance, and fluency. Together, let's embark on a captivating journey through the vast realm of knowledge that lies before us.
