Real experiences from teachers who joined this port city before you.
โMy first student was the child of a fish trader in the old market who trembled at every calculation. After a few weeks she started raising her hand first when the teacher asked, until her mother was moved to tears. Small moments like that are why I feel at home teaching in this city.โ

โAs a Universitas Asahan graduate, I thought it would be hard to find teaching work in Tanjungbalai. It turned out the demand for senior-high physics is quite high before exam season. I can arrange the schedule myself without disturbing my other work.โ
โNear sunset, in the port area, I sit with the children sounding out the hijaiyah letters one by one. Parents busy at the fish auction entrust their little ones' religious education to me deeply. There is a quiet peace in being able to help guard that trust.โ
โMany students here want to continue their studies in Medan and need a strong foundation in English. I love helping them speak with confidence rather than just memorizing grammar rules. Students come to me on their own through a neighbor's recommendation.โ
โSitting with the toddlers near my home as they spell letters and count for the very first time always melts my heart. My family matters stay in order because I set the teaching hours myself. This activity makes my days feel fuller.โ
