Hi, for early intervention stage children I do cover the 7 learning stages, primary school children mostly table tasks ( learning), those with specific learning disabilities ( dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia) needs different interventions. Basically I do tailor their learning based from their capabilities and what they lacking. My way of teaching always physical, only if the student is tier 1 student which need very minimal support, can opt for online or else physical advisable as they have additional learning needs. I have quite number of parents requires 1:1 sessions in Ipoh as I am from Ipoh, due to distance restrictions i stopped my 1:1 sessions in Ipoh after shifted to Selangor
