About Naila
I’m an IGCSE English tutor in Kuala Lumpur specializing in First Language English (FLE) and English as a Second Language (ESL). I hold a CELTA and two Master’s degrees in MA Publishing Studies and MA Journalism & Mass Communication, and I’ve been teaching for 3 years.
My lessons are structured and exam-focused. I teach students how to understand what Cambridge examiners want, write clear and organized responses, and improve their accuracy and vocabulary without sounding forced. I support students with reading skills (inference, writer’s effects, selecting evidence) and writing skills (planning, paragraphing, tone, summary, and composition).
I’m known for giving detailed feedback and practical strategies that students can apply immediately. Many of my students have improved significantly, including moving from D to B, with consistent practice and targeted coaching.
If you want clear guidance, honest feedback, and steady progress, then my lessons will give you a reliable system to improve.
