About V Karthikgayan
I'm Karthik, 18, from Selangor. I graduated from Oasis International School with an American High School Diploma, CGPA 4.17, and I'm now reading for a Bachelor of Music Performance at Sunway University.
Music is the other half of my life; ABRSM Grade 8 Distinction in Piano and Theory, competition prizes from Vivace, Euroasia and E-Atrium, and I co-founded a music club at school that grew into something bigger than any of us expected. Practising an instrument seriously for a decade teaches you that progress is almost never about talent. It's about turning up, breaking the hard part into smaller parts, and being honest about what you can't do yet. That's how I teach English too.
I started tutoring because I was the student who needed things explained a second way before they made sense. I've since taught primary school students, exam candidates and adults preparing for IELTS; and the pattern is the same every time. Most people aren't stuck because they're slow. They're stuck because nobody has explained it in a way that fits how they think.
I'm reliable with scheduling, I prepare before every lesson, and I'll tell you honestly if I don't think I'm the right tutor for your child.

Lessons are one hour, online, and built around one clear goal per session. You'll know at the start what we're working on and at the end whether we got there.
The first thing I do with a new student is find the actual gap. A student losing marks in comprehension and a student losing marks in essay writing need completely different hours, and guessing wastes both our time. That's what the free 30-minute assessment lesson is for.
Who I teach
Primary and secondary students at any level. SPM and IGCSE English candidates. Non-native speakers from Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia, Vietnamese, Korean and other language backgrounds. IELTS and TOEFL candidates. And students who understand English perfectly well but freeze the moment they have to produce it.
What we work on
Essay structure and argument. Reading comprehension — starting with how to read the question before reading the passage. Grammar from foundations through to advanced writing. Speaking confidence and pronunciation. Exam technique and timing.
How I teach
Concept before drill. A student who has memorised a rule they don't understand will lose it under exam pressure — so we build the understanding first, then practise until it's automatic. Explanations are adapted to the student's first language and how they actually think. No question is too basic; if something isn't clicking, that hour belongs to it.
After each lesson I send parents a short summary — what we covered, what improved, what to work on before next time.
Practical
60-minute sessions, 100% online by video call. Flexible scheduling including weekends. Practice materials provided between lessons. First 30-minute lesson free.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Karthik and I both went to the same high school. He is brilliant when it comes to any sort of explanation. I remember when we were in band together, he was often the one taking the lead and was good at pointing everyone in the right direction. He is also very patient he could explain this thoughts clearly. Also, if one still didn’t understand, he was more than happy to assist or try an explanation from a different angle. He has a great ear for rhythm and is a fantastic musician.
I highly recommend him. I am also a musician and I must say I learned a lot from him.I've known Karthik since the beginning of middle school, and he is easily one of the most hardworking and musically talented people I know. I still remember how impressed I was by his passion for music when we first bonded over our shared love of classical music.
Beyond his talent, Karthik is one of the kindest and most genuine people I've ever met. His teaching style is simple, clear, and easy to understand, making even challenging concepts approachable. He is patient, encouraging, and always willing to help others improve.
I wholeheartedly recommend Karthik to anyone looking for a dedicated and passionate piano teacher. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to explain things clearly make him an excellent mentor. He is truly a gem, and I am grateful to have known him for so many years.Karthik has been a passionate player and tutor for my nieces. They enjoy his teaching method as he makes it simple and understandable. It is always worth to learn piano as it stimulates the mind, and learning with Karthik makes it enjoyable
I highly recommend Karthik. He’s a super talented tutor for piano lessons. He’s also passionate about his teaching towards music lessons which may help student learnings quickly.

Details
Packs are for students working towards a fixed goal — an SPM or IGCSE paper, or a term of steady improvement. Booking a block means the slot is reserved for you each week and the rate drops.
5 hours — RM300 (RM60/hour)
10 hours — RM560 (RM56/hour)
Packs are used at one lesson per week unless we agree otherwise. Unused hours carry forward; lessons can be rescheduled with 24 hours' notice. Materials and practice work between lessons are included at no extra cost.
The first 30-minute lesson is free and doesn't come out of any pack. Start there; there's no reason to commit to a block before we've both seen whether this works.
