A Letter from Our Class (Read : Aisyah)

Actually, I had been in Pare for 3 weeks. I decided to come to Pare because one of my dreams is study abroad especially in Netherland. So, because of my English ability is weak, I want to improve it n Pare. I like a conducive environment which can support me in reaching my goal. Then, I decided to take English course at Ttitk Nol English Course because it provides various programs from Basic to IELTS. I think my ability in English still zero, so basic program is suitable for me. Maybe, I looked have more knowledgeable than my friend in our class, but in fact, many theories that I don’t know.

We have 4 tutors for 4 classes. Ms. Iim for Listening Class, Mr. Irfan for Grammar Class, Ms. Fatma for Reading Class, and Mr. An for Speaking Class. Our tutors are humble, friendly, and keep our spirit to learn. I feel passionate about attending all classes every day. But do you know? In the past, I did not really like English haha. I did not know why, as I listened to videos and read books, suddenly I could understand something I didn't understand before and I fell in love with English until now. In the past, I always asked how I could love English, even though the first way to be able in English is to love English.

Let me tell you about our speaking class, we have 9 students; Aisyah, Susi, Aska, Mar’ah, Zizi, Gita, Lutfi, Bian, and Kimstar. We had been taught for 2 weeks and this night, the admin informs us there are changes in the tutor. So sad, our speaking tutor has been changed. Two weeks may be a short time, but so memorable for me.

From left to right, there are Bian, Lutfi, Mar'ah, Susi, Mr. An, me, Aska, Zizi, and Kimstar

The first time I went to Speaking class, I felt bored because I came late and I did not know my tutor’s name. Then, he just explained what exists in our book, not interactive. I have an expectation about speaking class, it could be more practice than just listen. Haha. But do you know? Finally, from 4 tutors in our class, my favorite tutor is Mr. An, our speaking tutor.

I think I am not only learning English but also learning about life. The special advice that Mr An did or us was he gave us advice personally that suitable for our personality, such as I got advice “Jangan Cepat Puas”, I did not know how can I say “Jangan Cepat Puas in English, maybe “Don’t be satisfied” or “Don’t be complacent” or anything. I will always remember it because sometimes I have arrogance about my ability that can make me stuck. And, I am also searching for being humility that I haven’t before. Thanks Mr. for your advice. And then, I had discussed about grammar with him on WhatsApp and he gave me advice also. He said that “jangan lupa berdoa agar belajarnya juga dimudahkan” and when I have trouble with my mom about speaking, he can change my mind and give me spirit. Why that advice so deep for me, because in fact, I usually use my logic, my skill to be confident doing everything. I always have to be reminded that we have God that arranges everything, we just do what God has been arranged.

Thanks a lot, Mr for everything, maybe it become an interesting experience. Keep humble, Mr. Don’t forget me!
