Service Area
Kuala Kapuas is ringed by the Kapuas and Murung rivers, so settlements spread out following the waterways. A tutor living in town can guide many families in neighbouring wards without long trips.
to Banjarmasin
Since the Pulau Petak Bridge opened, Kuala Kapuas is connected by road to Banjarmasin, about 46 km away. That access makes it easy for commuting students and Banjarmasin campus alumni to teach in their hometown.

“I study at Universitas Kapuas while teaching maths around Selat. It is close by, so it never clashes with my classes. Watching a student who once feared numbers grow brave enough to work through problems is what keeps me here.”
Farah A.
Mathematics Tutor
“In the afternoons I go from house to house in Kapuas Hilir helping children read Iqro and the Quran. Parents here welcome it warmly. The demand never fades, and I feel a quiet peace every time a lesson ends.”
Akhmad H.
Quran Reading Tutor
“In Basarang many farming families want their children reading fluently before primary school. I can teach in the mornings while my own child is at school. Helping them spell their first words always makes me smile.”
Nuri A.
Early Literacy Tutor
“My home is near the Pulau Petak Bridge, so I often teach students in Kapuas Timur and sometimes cross over to help on the Banjarmasin side. English is the subject parents ask for most around here.”
Zulfadhly M.
English Tutor
“As an alumnus who came back to Kapuas, I want the children here to keep pace with city students. Physics for UTBK prep is much in demand. I set my own teaching hours, so I still have time for my family.”
Nazaruddin B.
