Dead links from ACCA V6 are not copied to here.
Anymore better lecturers to recommend? I have added some new lecturers in this list while I read across ACCA V3, V4 and V5.

This post has been edited by notmycupoftea: Feb 25 2012, 03:33 PM

most of the recommended lecturers are copied from ACCA V6
some lecturers' name are removed from the list, because they are no longer teaching in Msia, or no longer teaching the papers.


newly added lecturers are:

F1:
Miss Sunita (PAAC)
Since Ms Chang Shew Leng is no longer teaching this paper, I don't know who to recommend.
and it happened that I saw people recommending Ms Sunita for F2 and F3, so I thought putting this lecturer's name 1st until ppl there's someone else to be recommended by LYN ACCA students.

F3:
Pung Siau Wei (Kolej Gemilang)
I was her earlier students in CAT financial papers, she's really a great lecturer in the sense that she's inspiring and passionate. she covers the whole syllabus (explained IAS well) and kept practising past year papers with us until we are so familiarised with the paper.

F4:
Sanjeetha (KSA)
I was her student for my law paper. Her teaching is very lively, many jokes, covers syllabus well. she's a lot of examples to explain, so u will understand and remember the facts more firmly. she'll do a lot of the past year questions with students, and the way she does the questions is very unique- the way to develop the answer, the flow of the answers, the persuasiveness of the answers.

F7:
Keith Farmer (Coolly's comment #366)

P2:
Spencer Cheah (ks_fruits's comment #2543, #2546. tzxsean's comment #2549, CalvinKS's comment #2551)

P4:
Oviyan (suggestion by sjacca #1964, lengleng82's comment #1966)
and I noticed the link given by sjacca is no longer working, but i found other oviyan's teaching, http://www.screencast.com/t/5KuzAmJp


P5:
It's sad that I can't find Chow Kim Tai's name in any college. Andrew Pang doesn't teach this paper anymore.
Chan Tze Kang- students recommended this lecturer for P4, but he doesn't teach P4 now as far as I know (pls correct me if i am wrong) but teaching P5. and I found that:

any good lecturers for P5? pls recommend.

This post has been edited by notmycupoftea: Jun 27 2011, 07:20 PM

thanks for the info. list updated

so spencer is good at teaching P5 too?

wow!! thanks for the precious info! i believe that a lot of students are still looking 4 him.
i nvr attend his class b4, but all my seniors and even other lecturers also praised him

oh good. remember to to give us feedback

em, i nvr had chance to study in sunway. i only heard of ms menon
if u provide me with the info, which lecturer is good, good at what aspect, i will be sure to put the name in the list

I'm not sure Joey Wong is good or not, but Joey Wong is a he! LOL
comment on Joey by Topace111's post #802- carefully look at category 2



about Mr Goh, let's see senior's comment, but it's the comment for P1 not P7
ThanatosSwiftfire's post #167
fastandfurious's post #799

em, i am not sure about 3 years ago.
but in 2009 and 2010, Joey Wong was not even in KSA.

yes I know he has lung problem, but if u check the timetable of KSA KL and KSA PJ, he is still teaching. only teach less.

KSA PJ P1-P7

KSA KL F4-F9

a question from my friend.
she has P2 and P3 compulsory papers to be cleared, but she intends to do P2 next sitting and taking P3, P4 this sitting. does ACCA allow us to take option papers b4 we clear essential papers ?

ow so sad, so far all the answers i collected are the same- cannot.
coz haneef is leaving soon, my friend has no confidence to try Navzar Tara. she wanted to get feedback 1st then only do p2 next year.

just want to say
now Elitejaya is a separated entity with OIC, owner is Daniel Lee.
OIC is changed to Greencity, owner is Ian.

OIC has different batch of lecturers, not famous lecturers. I think this might be the reason OIC did not upload Elitejaya's ACCA timetable on OIC website.

so what do u think? rumours about they had a dispute.

This post has been edited by notmycupoftea: Jul 6 2011, 05:42 PM

should I amend
?

coz if we look at ACCA V6 ACCA V5 etc etc, there were some discussion about working life as an auditor, future of ACCA, ACCA as a career.....
I think it's relevant. if everything is about exam tips and lecturers, the fresh graduates of ACCA will be really "fresh", minimum exposure to real life.

it's not out of topic, it's about ACCA tuition providers

if u are the students of these colleges, u think u'll not be affected?
sharing is caring mah, if any students have the insider info, why not sharing?
u think Ian n Daniel will entertain u personally?

if u are referring to the team of lecturers like Sheila, Daniel Ho, Chan Tze Kang and so on, then u need to go Elitejaya College which is beside Segi KL, near Masjid Jamek LRT station too.

OIC/Greencity still offers ACCA, with different team of lecturers. The new team of lecturers, idk their names.

u are not interested to know doesnt mean others not interested to know as well. u are not affected doesnt mean others not affected too.

anyway, as u like. no one stands on my side.

pls dun delete ur post here, whoever complains why we cannot discuss other ACCA stuff related here, i will quote ur post.

i dun mind personally, since many similar issues or problems have been discussed in earlier forum like ACCA V6 V5 V4 V3 V2.

is like all the new blood in this ACCA V7 doesnt like to talk about other issues except exams stuff, so "bersih"~

10 cents per piece? so expensive
there is a photocopy shop near my house, 4.5 cents per piece. if more than certain pages, 4 cents will be charged.
then 112*0.045= RM5.04

profit of RM 44.96.

the RM 50 plus 3 days of revision recording only worthwhile to buy lo
but it sounds like pirated version, no good no good.

where u got the news? i can't find this news in SA nor on ACCA facebook.

it can't be before result, as we don't know our results, how should we decide which paper to take for the sitting?

see important dates of ACCA
http://www2.accaglobal.com/students/acca/info/dates

i am really really super super super shocked stunned speechless seeing the dates
our standard exam closing date used to be 15 Oct/ 15 April, i don't know why now i saw the dates are 8 Oct/ 8 April.

the early exam entry closing date is 8 Sept/ 8 March.

and next year, for P papers, if pay the exam fees after the early closing date but b4 standard closing date, is £94 per paper. ow...guys and girls, faster finish all ur papers in this coming Dec 2011 sitting

hardsake?? i dunno the meaning
ur "perserverance" got an extra "r" in between, coz i googled translate it and found out, lol


have u taken F9 b4? F9 touches a bit about stock exchange, coz i rmbr i learnt stock market, derivatives etc
and our lecturer shared his experience of trading some stocks

tat 94 pounds for Professional papers is applicable in 2012, means u pay after 8 Sept/ 8 March but before 8 Oct/ 8 April.

Eg:

for June sitting, u pay in the period between 9 March to 8 April 2012, then u will have to pay for the new increased exam fees like:
Knowlege papers- £64
Fundamental papers- £80
Professional papers- £94
