Astro Assistant Vice President, Content Creation - GenNext Studio, Yasmin Yahya said, “We have done extensive market research and found that the pandemic has made learning increasingly challenging for school-goers, especially those preparing for SPM. In an effort to help these students ease their exam stress, we have created a new content called SPM PRO+. Through this new academic show, we have assembled a team of “pros” - popular young tutors who make learning fun, such as Iqbal Ahyar, Ifwat Rosdi, Syahmi Azizi, Syuhadak Seplee, Maryam Khan, Farez Atan and PU Azman; with a mission to help students ace their SPM, like a pro.

"The series aims to lower students’ stress as they prepare for their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations through a cool and contemporary approach," she said.

SPM students can tune in to SPM PRO+ On Demand and on Astro GO or catch it daily from Monday to Saturday at 9pm on Astro Tutor TV SPM (CH603).
