Learners across Kangar, Arau and Pauh Putra want a tutor who knows the Perlis exam calendar. In Kangar town you will mostly teach students from SMK Syed Alwi, SMK Derma and SMK Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen, plus SJK (C) Khoon Aik pupils who need Bahasa Cina and Mathematics.

Residential learners at SMS Tuanku Syed Putra in Kangar, and at MRSM Arau and MRSM Beseri, aim high in SPM science. Arau and Pauh Putra add a broad tertiary group at Kolej Matrikulasi Perlis, UiTM Kampus Arau, Politeknik Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin and UniMAP. A typical week follows the school day.

Day-school students book after classes on weekday evenings, and weekends carry the longer revision blocks. As the SPM papers approach, Form 5 candidates step up their Fizik, Kimia, Biologi and Matematik practice, while Matrikulasi students ask for help before semester examinations. UniMAP and UiTM learners preparing for MUET want speaking drills and essay feedback.

Your first month starts with a matched learner near your base and a short diagnostic on recent school or college papers. From there you set a weekly plan with the learner and track it against the term. You can begin with one or two learners in Kangar and add sessions in Arau once you know the roads.

Learners in Padang Besar and Kaki Bukit can be taught online, which keeps the border side of the state within reach.

Why this area

What Kangar looks like for an Edustar tutor

Kangar is the state capital of Perlis and the smallest state capital in Malaysia, so a tutor's working map is short and reaches easily into the towns around it. In town, lessons gather around the secondary schools: SMK Syed Alwi, SMK Derma, SMK Putra, SMK Syed Hassan, SMK Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen and the local SMKA. SJK (C) Khoon Aik serves Chinese-medium primary pupils. SMS Tuanku Syed Putra, a fully residential science school opened in 1973, has recorded the best SPM results in Perlis. Arau holds the second cluster, with SMK Arau, SMK Syed Sirajuddin, SMK Tengku Budriah, SJK (C) Hwa Aik and MRSM Arau, a Premier college for Form 1 to 5 since 2017. MRSM Beseri sits on Jalan Kaki Bukit. Around Pauh Putra the tertiary belt begins: Kolej Matrikulasi Perlis, the oldest matriculation college in Malaysia, UiTM Kampus Arau, Politeknik Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin and the UniMAP main campus. Padang Besar, the border town known for its duty-free complex, has SMK Padang Besar Utara and SJK (C) Padang Besar Utara. Tuition demand follows these institutions closely: science-stream SPM, Bahasa Cina for SJK(C) pupils and SMJK Perlis students, and Matrikulasi, diploma and MUET work for the students living around Arau.

Kangar works as the hub for the whole area. Terminal Bukit Lagi is the town's bus terminal: MyBas reaches Kangar from Padang Besar in about an hour, and the ride from Kangar to Kuala Perlis takes 20 to 30 minutes. Rail runs through Arau. ETS intercity trains stop there on the way to Padang Besar, and KTM Komuter links Padang Besar with Arau in 19 minutes on the line to Butterworth. With a car or motorcycle, Kangar, Arau and Pauh Putra fit comfortably into one evening of lessons. Kuala Perlis, about 18 km from Arau station, is the jetty town for Langkawi ferries, with SJK(C) schools of its own. Learners in Kaki Bukit, Beseri or Padang Besar can be taught online on school nights, and students living in at MRSM or Matrikulasi learn online from their hostels.
