Tutoring Experience

In my role as a tutor and teacher, I bring a wealth of experience across a diverse range of subjects. With a strong background in History, Politics, and International Relations, I provide tailored instruction to my students, drawing from my extensive engagement with various exam boards and academic research. My approach ensures that students not only grasp a wide spectrum of historical topics but also excel in different examination formats.

In Anthropology, my expertise shines through my PhD from the University of Oxford, focusing on museum ethnography and material culture. Through interactive lessons, I strive to deepen students' understanding of anthropological concepts and methodologies, offering insights garnered from my own research and academic journey.

As a native Chinese speaker, I leverage my language skills to tutor students for HSK and local examinations in the UK. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, incorporating multimedia resources and real-life scenarios to facilitate language acquisition and retention. I also adapt my teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, ensuring each student has ample opportunities for practice and feedback to master the language.

Furthermore, I offer mentorship to students navigating university admissions, particularly those aspiring to prestigious institutions like Oxbridge. I provide guidance on interview techniques and help refine personal statements to showcase each student's strengths. Additionally, I coach KS2 students for 11+ entrance examinations, covering verbal and non-verbal reasoning, drawing from my experience serving on admission panels to ensure they are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
