I tutor ACCA SBL students in Malaysia online, through 1-to-1 sessions, small group classes and mock exam marking. The SBL exam, syllabus and marking are the same worldwide, so the preparation is the same. Session times are arranged around Malaysia time (GMT+8), including evenings and weekends for working students.
Session times for Malaysia
Malaysia is 8 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer. UK morning and early afternoon slots fall in the Malaysian evening, which suits students who work or study during the day in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru.
SBL for students in Malaysia
Malaysia has a large ACCA student community, with many students taking SBL alongside work or full-time study. Students often know the theory well from college courses but want more practice applying it to a long case under time pressure, and feedback on writing in a professional style. Sessions focus on exactly that.
The SBL exam, pre-seen and sittings are the same in Malaysia as in the UK: March, June, September and December.

About your tutor
I am Adam Niazi, a Fellow of the ACCA (FCCA) with an MSc in Professional Accountancy from UCL and an Executive MBA from the University of Exeter. I wrote Becoming A Strategic Business Leader, a 19-chapter guide to the SBL syllabus, after coaching students through the exam. I also use these models in senior business roles, so sessions connect the theory to how real organisations work.
