We have a group of dedicated, experienced and trained teachers to make this vision a reality. Students are trained to articulate ideas clearly, develop confidence and to have the skill to answer well in the examinations. Our experience helps all to prepare for this goal.
The growth of new demands for education has spurred us to start classes for the primary level students starting from standard three in year 2012 located in Taman Rasa Utama which can be easily accessed by all the students in Rasa town. Rasa is a small rural town in Hulu Selangor. Most of the occupants are from middle class. Mynadi has contributed in various aspects by providing the basic necessity for the tuition centre such as air conditioner, tables and chairs, an iron cupboard and a teacher’s table. It also has been paying the rental for the centre and tutors’ fees.
Since then, this centre managed to produce students who have excelled in UPSR, PMR and SPM. Some of them were managed to further their studies in public universities (IPTA). Yayasan Mynadi Tuition Centre was actually established in Rasa on May 2010. Then, this centre tutored UPSR, PMR and SPM students only. The total number of students in this centre had increased from 80 to 137. In this year, the students from this tuition have showed improvements in their studies and were able to produce excellent results.
Mynadi’s operation and managing cost for the centre is about RM54,000.00 yearly (RM4,500.00 per month). Rasa Tuition Centre is the only tuition centre available for the community of Rasa in this town. Most of the parents are working laborer, lorry drivers and machine operator in factories. They are unable to send their children for tuition which is quite far from Rasa and expensive. Mynadi Tuition Centre here eases the parents’ burden and been their helping tools in education. This centre runs basically free of charge for only Indian students especially for those who are from B40 with low income families.
The total number of students enrolled every year increase each as demand increase due to limited space we can accommodate 130 , We have seen measurable success among the students within the community of Rasa who have enrolled at this tuition centre.
