Tutors In Action Malaysia (TIA) is a student-led organization established in 2020, focused on providing educational support to underprivileged youth in Malaysia, particularly those preparing for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations. The organization was founded with the aim of bridging the gap between volunteer tutors and students who lack access to affordable tuition, primarily targeting students from the B40 community and orphaned children in shelters[2][4].
Mission and Services
TIA’s mission is to assist struggling Malaysian youth by offering specialized online tutoring services. Initially, the organization concentrated on one-to-one tutoring for Form 5 students, but it has since expanded its offerings to include group tutoring, study resources, and workshops. TIA has also gained recognition as a national organization by EROS as of October 2022[2][3].
Organizational Structure
The leadership team comprises various roles filled by dedicated volunteers. Key positions include:
- Chiang Ru – Executive Director
- Alyqa – Internal & External Affairs Officer
- Steven Yee – Director
- Jocelyn Wong – Deputy Director
- Farah Hana Sophia – Internal & External Affairs Officer
The committee is composed of numerous other executives and directors who contribute to the organization’s operations and outreach efforts[2].
Community Impact
TIA has made significant strides in enhancing educational opportunities for students facing challenges due to socio-economic barriers. The organization not only facilitates tutoring but also engages in fundraising and collaborative projects aimed at furthering its mission of educational equity[1][2][3].
Through initiatives like the “SPM In Action” workshops, TIA provides both physical and virtual learning experiences, ensuring accessibility for all students across Malaysia[3].
