First Lesson is FREE. Moving to Hong Kong from Ireland for 2X years with my wife (a Native). I can speak English (near-native level, IELTS: 8.5/9, reading:9, oral:8.5, writing, listening:8.5), Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish. 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 (highest qualification). I have been a tutor (English, mathematics, science, coding) since my return to Hong Kong in 2019. In tutoring English, with my score of A in HKCEE and B in HKAL respectively, I teach English from P4 to S6 in DSE, Year 4 to Year 11 in IGCSE, Year 4 to Year 11 in IB Diploma, and most importantly, I also started teaching IELTS under Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Speaking as well. Because of my wife being an English teacher, many textbooks, notes, and exercises are provided to the students under such strong and resourceful support. Therefore, some of my accomplishments are: 1. Assisting a P6 (band 3) pupil who went to Malvern College (international school, accepting around 150 students every new year among 12,000+ applicants). 2. Assisting an F1 student who went to study F2 in Diocesan Boys' School (100/10,000 applicants). 3. Assisting an F6 student who was not good at English and evaluated to score 2, finally achieving a score of 3 in DSE English. Nowadays, my students come from international and local schools such as Malvern College, Choi Kai Yau College, Yew Chung College, Po Chui College, and St. Francis Primary School. I can design a tailor-made course for every single student and recently finished a diploma in Introduction to Teaching English as a Second Language from Alison Corp. Read less

My tutoring approach is very simple: "Practice makes us perfect." I emphasize understanding the basic concepts rather than cramming. I always ensure that the student takes tests on a regular basis so that they don't lose touch with the topics taught and become familiar with different types of questions that may be asked.
