Brief Overview:
I am an experienced educator, having founded an educational advisory firm known as The Thinking Lab, situated at Lee Garden One, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Over the years, I have formulated rigorous and effective education plans for students, assisting many who desire to study in the United Kingdom and the United States to successfully enter their preferred schools.

My teaching model not only focuses on teaching students test-taking skills and knowledge but also encourages, motivates, and inspires them to develop a positive and proactive academic mentality to cope with ever-growing expectations and standards.

Key Points:
- I studied at Chinese International School from 2002 to 2009, which is a top IB school in Hong Kong.
- In tenth grade, I attended the prestigious boarding school Kent School in the United States, where I received High Honor Roll and was inducted into the Cum Laude Society.
- Since the United States does not follow the IB route, I used my SAT and AP scores to apply for college, earning the AP Student w/ Distinction award.
- The University of St. Andrews, where I graduated from, is ranked first in the United Kingdom in Modern History and International Relations. I obtained First Class Honors for a double major in Modern History & International Relations.
- I have been working in the education industry for approximately 8 years. The students I teach are currently attending prestigious local and international schools in Hong Kong, including DBS, DGS, St. Paul Co-ed, CIS, GSIS, HKIS, ISF, ESF, and more.

My test scores:
- SAT (2013): 2340/2400
- ACT (2013): 34/36
- AP English Language: 5/5
- AP English Literature: 5/5
- AP European History: 5/5
- AP United States History: 5/5
- AP World History: 5/5
- AP Government & Politics: 5/5
