First Lesson is FREE.

Having moved to Hong Kong from Ireland with my foreign wife over 10 years ago, I am fluent in English (near-native proficiency; IELTS score: 8.5/9, with a reading score of 9, an oral score of 8.5, and writing and listening scores of 8.5) as well as Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Melbourne, where I took courses in computation, game theory, data analysis, and more. I also obtained a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Victoria University of Technology in Australia, with a dissertation focusing on game theory.

I have been tutoring students in English, mathematics, and coding since my return to Hong Kong in 2019. In mathematics tutoring, I teach general mathematics, additional mathematics, and pure mathematics from Primary 4 to Senior 6 in the DSE curriculum and from Year 4 to Year 11 in the IGCSE and IB Diploma programmes. I am especially familiar with the IGCSE and IB Diploma curricula, as my son studied under these programs in Northern Ireland, and my wife is an English teacher.

I have successfully assisted students in achieving their academic goals, including helping a Primary 6 (Band 3) student gain admission to Malvern College, assisting a Form 1 student to progress to Form 2 at Diocesan Boys’ School, and supporting a Form 6 student who initially struggled with English to improve their DSE English score from 2 to 3.

Currently, my students come from various international and local schools, including Malvern College, Choi Kai Yau College, Yew Chung College, Po Chui College, and St. Francis Primary School. I tailor my teaching approach to suit the individual needs of each student, and I recently completed a diploma in Introduction to Teaching English as a Second Language from Alison Corp. Read less
