Hello! I share my passion for modern foreign languages through tutoring. I speak fluent French, English, Cantonese, Mandarin and intermediate Russian. I have always had a huge interest in the arts, around which my work experiences and education revolved. I grew up in Hong Kong and studied in the UK, France, Switzerland, and the United States for my higher education and I started tutoring after my master's degree. I love helping my students progress and achieve their learning objectives– aiding their academic, intellectual and personal growths are highlights of my tutoring experience, not to mention my own growth as a tutor thanks to them.

Experience
CELTA-certified with over six years of teaching experience, my first tutoring experience actually started at age fourteen, when I volunteered at a daycare centre and a school for disabled children. Since 2019, I have been working as a freelance tutor and have tutored over 200 students. I specialise in teaching modern foreign languages and in helping students with GCSE, A Levels, Cambridge Pre-U and IB exam preparations. My clients are based in the UK and in Asia; ranging from as young as four* to adult learners. In 2019, I worked at a private tutorial centre in Hong Kong for current and prospective UK pupils. I also conducted Cantonese GCSE speaking exams in 2023 and 2024.

Education
I have a background in the arts and humanities. In 2017, I graduated from King's College London with a BA in French and Management with Distinction in Oral French. During my year abroad, I completed a six-month study exchange at ESSEC Paris, studying French and business, and another six months at Université de Genève, reading French literature and philosophy. Languages aside, I recently completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art at SOAS in 2023. In 2018, I completed an MA in Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art, where I also studied Contemporary Art in New York for a semester exchange.

Interests
Currently learning Beginner German, I aim finish this level this year and start Arabic next year. When not tutoring nor involved with the art world, I invest my time in various self-development modalities, with over 600 hours of combined training practices from yoga teaching and mindset coaching. I also like to take the time to enjoy music, cinema and literature. Read less

Extensive teaching methodology that focuses on boosting confidence, creativity, and curiosity for language-learning. I use culturally-rich and contemporary learning materials inspired by the various disciplines that I studied and worked in. My classes are theme-based and split between oral, reading, and listening comprehension, while working on grammar and pronunciation throughout. Notes-making, language analysis, as well as quizzes are the main focuses for my exam preparation sessions. Read less
