I am a native English speaker with a near-native level of proficiency (IELTS: 8.5/9, reading: 9, oral: 8.5, writing: 8.5, listening: 8.5, TOEFL: 115/120). I am also fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish, which I studied at St. Paul's Co-educational College Primary School and St. Paul's Co-educational College in Hong Kong. I earned a Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Melbourne and a Master's degree in Computer Science from Victoria University of Technology in Australia after living there for many years.

Upon my return to Hong Kong in 2020, I have been tutoring in English, mathematics, science, and coding. I have achieved the highest grades in English in public exams, including A in HKCEE, B in HKAL, 5** in DSE, A in IGCSE, and 7 in IB Diploma LANG B HL. I teach various English courses from P4 to S6 in DSE, Year 4 to Year 11 in IGCSE, Year 4 to Year 11 in IB Diploma, and IELTS preparation in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

I have successfully helped students gain acceptance into prestigious schools such as Malvern College and Diocesan Boys' School, as well as improving students' English proficiency in DSE. My students come from both international and local schools in Hong Kong, including Malvern College, Choi Kai Yau College, Yew Chung College, Po Chiu Catholic Secondary School, and St. Francis Primary School.

I am able to create customized courses for each student and have recently completed a diploma in Introduction to Teaching English as a Second Language from Alison Corp. Read less

I always ensure that students take tests regularly so they don't lose touch with the topics taught and become familiar with the different types of questions that may be asked. Read less
