KUALA LUMPUR: This year has been a challenge, with the Covid-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on people’s lives and livelihoods across the country. But amidst adversity, some windows of opportunity have opened for enterprising Malaysians.
It used to be that tuition classes were only available to students who lived near a tuition center. Now, by using online platforms, Malaysian students can learn from the best without leaving the safety of their home and without traveling long distances.
This is due in large part to the efforts of MyTuition, an online learning platform that employs the best educators in the country and virtually connects them with students eager to learn from them.
According to Eddie Lim Yit Min, the man behind MyTuition and a former national athlete, the launch of MyTuition at the time of the implementation of the Motion Control Order was a pure coincidence.
The reception of MyTuition services has been more than cordial, with thousands of students attending classes and seminars on the platform. It logged more than half a million page views during June’s peak season, and the interest likely won’t fade anytime soon.
“I think we are enjoying the demand for tuition classes not just because of Covid-19. The teachers we have on the platform are handpicked … We have book authors, ‘Guru Cemerlang’ and SPM lead bookmarks, “Lim said.
It is these teachers who draw students to the platform and, unlike traditional teaching centers, students can learn from teachers who may be in a completely different part of the country.
Since its inception this year, MyTuition has grown by leaps and bounds, to the point of receiving recognition from institutions of higher learning such as Taylor’s College, which has partnered with MyTuition to launch the “Taylor’s RM1 million SPM Scholarship” for 500 Form students. 5 of 2021. lot.

They will also be provided with a ticket to Taylor’s College’s intensive online SPM seminar scheduled for October 2021.
