About Hafiz

His love for education and children was sparked and fanned to a brilliant flame in US Summer Camp 2016 while working with kids 7-16year olds.

After finishing up last year Psychology degree at NUS, Hafiz was exposed to a range of unconventional education with kids, from 6month-6year olds for right brain training under Shichida to outdoor education with 5-13 year olds. He got a good sense of the developmental phases and how they affect children and had strong interest in education as it is at the core of a person’s growth not just in academics but also in the softer side of things.

Being the youngest of 8 siblings, Hafiz is always surrounded by way older people who brought so many stories of thier life experiences to him so he could learn from their successes and failures. The ability to connect with studies and share such experience, academically and life, positively impact his students’ growth as a person. Hafiz aspires to be his students’ role model and guiding light as they navigate their lives. To know that every interaction he has with a child is planting a seed that has the potential to grow into a big tree that supports, supplements and shields these kids in their volatile futures is what keeps him going.

ADVO allows Hafiz to express himself in unconventional ways and not be limited, allowing him to break the barrier of “coach-student” a lot more easily and as a result, really build a bond with students where he remained as friends that can guide them rather than just being teachers that teach.

Everything's gonna be ok in the end; if it's not ok, it's not the end.

Hafiz loves to have fun as much as you do, so let’s have fun together while growing together

ADVO really helped me get from a C5 to A1 for science and B4 to B3 for math in just one term! ADVO isn’t like normal tuition centres where it’s all just teaching but they coach us through the questions. We are also not allowed to use the word ‘try’ for psychological purposes, instead we say ‘do’ to show that we will put in our 120% effort. The coaches are very nice and patient and we play games during break time too.

Firstly, a big thank you to Coach Dennis and Hafiz. I would recommend Advo because they are really caring and would always find ways to help students no matter the problem these guys are really good in their craft allowing them to handle many situations like teaching how to study smart and the OPCM, and are excellent Guidelines on how to do the topic well, not only are they good at teaching but making students happy. After attending lessons there it’s really great allowed me to know my concepts much easily scoring Aces was much easier till I came to Advo where I started to excel. I am a Na student for myself, but it did not discourage me by the fact that I would never be successful, but my coaches worked hard and proud to be successfully transferred to express! This is a must for students struggling with their subjects! Note: I am not forced to do this, feel free to enter a class filled with joy 😀
