I employ an exam-focused approach that emphasises the key learning points of the syllabus, but I try to avoid heavy memorization if possible. I tend to supplement extra knowledge that aids understanding, particularly for motivated students. I assign ample homework exercises in exam-style.

Primarily, I teach online due to my schedule and geographical mobility. (As of April 2020, I am currently in Hong Kong and available to tutor at students' homes or other locations) Read less
