โI casually registered after graduating from UBD. Turns out demand for science tutoring in Palembang is really high! Now this has become my main income.โ
โMy English Literature degree finally came back into use after a few years focused on raising my family. Being able to set my own hours lets me stay home while teaching everyone from elementary kids to adults who want the confidence to speak English.โ
โWhat used to eat up my time was hunting for students; now that part is handled and I simply focus on guiding their Quran recitation. Alhamdulillah, by word of mouth, families across Palembang's districts keep entrusting their children to me.โ
โI love teaching young children. In Sukarami area, many young families need early reading tutors for elementary school preparation. Relaxed work with decent income!โ
