About us
The tuition centre that started at a dining table
Studyline began in 2018. One teacher, six students, and a dining table in Taman Segar. The table is gone. The way we teach has not changed.
Since 2018
Small on purpose, from day one
Lim Bee Kuan taught mathematics in a Cheras secondary school for eleven years. She found that students who fell behind were rarely lazy. They sat in classes of forty, too shy to say they were lost. In 2018, she started teaching six of them around her own dining table.
Word spread from one mother to another, the way it does in Cheras. Today Studyline runs three classrooms on Jalan Cerdik with nine full time tutors. Every class is still capped at eight students. That number is the whole point. It is small enough that nobody gets to disappear.
The three rules every Studyline class runs on
Our tutors bring different styles and subjects. These three rules never change, no matter who is teaching.
Nobody gets to disappear
Eight students means every child is asked a question in every class. Quiet students are drawn out gently. They are not left behind because louder students answer faster.
Parents hear the truth weekly
Every Thursday you get a short WhatsApp note. It covers what we taught, one thing that went well, and one thing to practise. If your child is struggling, you hear it from us first. You hear it early, while there is still time to fix it.
Practice beats pep talks
Confidence in an exam hall comes from doing the paper before, many times, under time. We drill past year questions from the first month, not the last.
The people at the whiteboard
Nine tutors teach at Studyline. These three programme leads train every new tutor, alongside Ms Lim.
Amirul Hakim
Head of sciences
He leads Physics and Chemistry for the SPM years. Students sketch every concept before they are allowed to memorise a formula.
Priya Manogaran
English programme lead
She runs English across primary and secondary. She gets reluctant readers writing by letting them argue about football and food first.
Chong Wei Jian
Primary programme lead
He teaches Standard 4 to 6 Mathematics and Science. He is patient with weak basics. He is often the first tutor new students feel at ease with.
Eight students means the tutor really hears my daughter. Her school teacher asked what changed by the middle of term.
