Currently reading medicine at the University of Cambridge with the aid of the prestigious Prince Philip Scholarship, he intends to share the values his parents gave to him, most importantly the thirst for knowledge. The research environment in Cambridge has also encouraged him to seek opportunities for lab work, he is currently planning on conducting research this summer in antibody engineering which will hopefully improve the efficiency and targeting of cancer immunotherapy.
Teaching Approach and Experience
His goal is always to provide personalised and interactive teaching, where tutoring sessions are more of a discussion. He achieves this by often asking questions related to the topic on hand, as well as relating the things he teaches to everyday objects or events. Through this, he shapes a non-paternalistic, conversational environment where the student enjoys the lesson as much as he does, and both learn from and about each other.
His wide range of experience includes:
-
GCSE, A-level and IB subjects
-
University admissions (personal statement writing, interview guidance) for Oxbridge, HKU/CUHK, and other UK and US universities
-
Lower Secondary Science and English in international, local and overseas boarding schools
-
Medical sciences, Essay writing, and IB Extended Essay advice
He has tutored full-time and part-time at tuition centres, as well as done private/online tuition. Together, they have formed a solid foundation for him to reflect and improve upon his teaching skills. Additionally, the supervision system in Cambridge has also heavily influenced his style of teaching - being more of an enjoyable discussion than a lecture, which is what he strives to do.
