โThere are many new housing estates in Batu IX, so demand for senior high lessons is quite busy. I can teach several students in one afternoon because their homes are close together. The income really helps with daily needs.โ
โMany parents here want their children fluent in English because we are close to Singapore and Batam. I focus on conversation practice, and the children become more confident greeting people in English.โ
โIn the old village near Penyengat, parents always welcome the Quran teacher with warm tea and heartfelt thanks. My students vary, from those just sounding out Iqro to one who has memorized the first juz. Almost every week a neighbor entrusts their child to join the lessons.โ
โI schedule my reading and numeracy lessons in the morning, so I still have the afternoon to look after my little one at home. One kindergartener used to cry every time he held a pencil; now he eagerly spells out his friends' names. Moments like that make me want to stay.โ
