I completed the HKDSE in Economics and majored in Economics at New York University, with a focus on theory, statistical analysis, and econometrics. I scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT. I have previous experience tutoring both one-on-one and in a learning centre. I am happy to teach SAT, Math, and English to younger learners, and I am comfortable speaking Cantonese. I also have extensive experience in debate, drama, and creative writing.

In addition to exam preparation and homework support, I am ready to help students meaningfully connect what they are learning to current affairs and their own future goals. I believe this approach leads to a deep and lasting understanding of core concepts.

I minored in Urban Planning and have worked in journalism and policy research. I am currently working at an NGO and conducting independent research, and I am looking to use this time to return to fostering young learners.

I am patient, communicative, and reliable. I am committed to understanding each student's challenges, needs, and—more importantly—long-term goals, to make learning meaningful and sustainable. Read less

Each lesson starts with a brief conversation to assess where the student truly is with the material. Building on what the student already understands, I use real-life analogies and frequent exam cases to expand their understanding to more complex concepts.

Homework is not just rote work, but is thoughtfully targeted at the student’s areas of challenge. We learn together as student and teacher, and I always adjust my approach based on careful observation. Read less
