I am a full time tutor of mathematics in Hong Kong and the UK for over 12 years. I graduated with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and obtained a teaching qualification in Hong Kong, offered by Chinese University of Hong Kong, which these two universities are ranked as the highest 100 universities in the world.

A professional tutor should be a coach for my students, which the role is to build up their interest and confidence, and inspire them both on skills, learning methods and attitudes, but not just someone who just spoon-filling knowledge to them. Therefore, I encourage my students and their parents to participate in setting lesson plans with me, and giving feedbacks towards each other mutually. Reports will be made regularly in order to make regular evaluations on the learning progresses and our effort.

The reason I choose to be a full-time freelance tutor is because it offers me more opportunity and effort to inspiring my students and communicate with them and their parents. It also let me promoting my ideology of teaching and learning more. Being an educator is always a challenging but rewarding role. Therefore, I am very willing to devote my whole life being a full time tutor in nurturing our new generations.

Tutoring Experience

In these years, I spent most of time on tutoring mathematics and further mathematics for the secondary school students in Hong Kong. In 2022, I worked as an academic tutor of mathematics and further mathematics for mainly GCSE, IGCSE and GCE A-Level, with some 11+, in an independent school in Barking, London. Therefore, I am full of knowledge on the secondary school mathematics in both UK and Hong Kong.

No matter in the UK and in Hong Kong, I have met a great variety of background of students from the most outstanding to academically inadequate schools, from highly academically achieved students who can take their GCSE in the age of 11 or 12 to incapable in even basic arithmetic in a short time of public examinations, from highly demanded students who revised hard day by day, to low motivated students who didn't pay any effort even before examinations. In conclusion, I can get along well with each students with every backgrounds.

Tutoring Approach

Students in the KS3 may find difficulties in learning some strange knowledges such as algebraic expressions, equations, ratios and proportions, etc. For these students, I will explain those concepts by visualising them with appropriate analogies. For example, solving equation is like comparing two sides on the lever and ratio is like dividing things evenly.

Students in the GCSE may find difficulties in the longer questions, questions requiring more complicated thinking or more steps. For these students, I will help them to develop a mindset of more detailed and concise thinking. This can be done by providing sufficient parts and guidelines for the questions in the beginning first, and gradually them at the later stages.

Students in the A-Level normally have to face a challenge on clarifying all the concepts and mastering more complicated and abstract topics, as the amount of contents, level of difficulties, and requirement of thinkings are significantly increased, and the knowledges always relate to unknowns and advanced applications more. Therefore, I will help these students with more frequent revisions to prevent them from forgetting and mixing up the learnt topics. Also, I will assist them to build a linkage between topics to help them to handle in a comfortable way.

Normally, I will follow the teaching process from the day schools of my students, unless otherwise necessary or requested. Homework will be given each lesson to help to them to know if they can acquire some related knowledges and skills promptly. The amount of them can be discussed and adjusted in order to make them learn in an effective and efficient way without too much workload.

Every student is unique. Therefore, I make tailor made lessons and even tailor made exercises for each student to cover their individual needs. Please feel free to communicate with me in advance so that I can make a good preparation for you. If a student has some questions about mathematics, even they are not from my exercises or even not in syllabus, he or she can send a message to me and I will answer them as soon as possible. Parents are also strongly encouraged to communicate with me any time.

For students who need in special needs in learning, please just do not hesitate to let me know in advance. All the students are treated equally, regardless of sex, race, religion, political believes etc. For students who are willing to be tutored together (maximum is up to 4 at the same time), who has taken part in my lessons for a long time and with good manners, or students or parents who are in some difficulties, special offers are negotiable.
