About
English, Psychology, and Theory of Knowledge are popular subjects that I have successfully taken and have extensive experience teaching. I received a 7 and 6 respectively in English A and Psychology IB with a total score of 41 points. I studied for the IB in Hong Kong and currently study at the LSE for a joint honours in Politics and IR. I interned at Hong Kong’s Chow Tai Fook Group where I’m part of their educational and charity consultancy team.
Experience
I’ve tutored students one-on-one through Zoom and in person.
Most of these students are IB students who require extra help in essay writing and research where their teachers and schools can’t help them. I usually help with analysis and critical thinking where I let students develop their own ideas. They were students of varying capacities and confidence, each requiring specially tailored approaches.
My clients I have tutored required help in english and psychology. Usually they were concerned with essay writing and analysis.
The first client I taught was a IB English A student who needed guidance on how to analyse texts and structure exam responses. Through careful, structured classes and discussions I was able to help him overcome his shortcomings in the subject.
My second client had issues with her IB Psychology course, where she found it hard to learn case studies and prepare for exams. I taught her how to compartmentalise studying and taught her effective writing and memorisation techniques.
Teaching method
I am a strong believer in people learning when they are comfortable and at ease. When I learn and teach, I prefer learning visually and through discussion rather than rote memorisation. I talk to my students with the assumption that they are capable and intelligent (because they are!), and let them lead the discussion on the subjects they find hard and I help them where they don’t fully grasp a concept. By addressing them with mutual respect and relating to them, I am able to get them to learn more effectively.

Biology concept review, IA advice, and how to approach exams. If you are finding it difficult to understand the IB biology syllabus, I completely understand, I did IB biology HL and ended up scoring very well in it. Sometimes it's best to approach it from a student's perspective rather than a scientific one.
