โAt first I hesitated because I had no teaching experience. It turned out the team patiently guided me and there was training. Now I have quite a few senior high students preparing for the entrance test, and I love watching them grow.โ
โIn Pangkalpinang many families want their children to learn Mandarin from a young age. My skills are truly put to use. The schedule is flexible so I can still help run the family shop.โ
โEvery afternoon after the Asr prayer, my home fills with neighbourhood children learning to recite the Quran. In Bukit Intan, the trust parents place in a Quran teacher truly runs deep. One satisfied family leads to another entrusting me with their child.โ
โGuiding kindergarteners through their first letters and numbers is work full of laughter. Teaching close to home in Girimaya lets me look after my family while keeping a meaningful activity of my own. An opportunity like this is rare in Pangkalpinang.โ
