About Me

My approach to teaching and supervision is informed by two ideas. First, I believe that teaching English and Chinese is done best when more abstract ideas, such as those about news, arts, music, are discussed with a view to students' interests. Second, I believe in emphasizing the continuity of students' study so that students feel connected to cutting-edge news and world. This can be achieved through my teaching, about which I am passionate.

Education

I got my BA degree in English, then I pursued my MSc degree in Political Science at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, UK. Finally, I got my PhD in Politics, at the University of Manchester, also in the UK.

Experience / Qualifications

I have more than 10 years' experience in teaching English and Chinese. My students are all from different background and they all have different levels of English skills. Some of them are pre-school children, some of them are real-estate brokers, and some of them are working at the pharmaceutical companies in Asia.

Having worked as a teaching assistant and a tutor I specialise in tutoring maths and english for 4 - 19 year olds. I specialise in assisting in homework and helping students to advance in their class, rather than learning from scratch. I have helped students prepare for the 11 plus exams, GCSEs, A Levels, and Oxford / Cambridge entry interviews.

I have a BA Hons in English from Cambridge University, an MSc in Social Science and Public Policy from King's College London, and have worked as a Research Assistant at the University of Basel for the past year. I also have A* English, A* Maths, A Art, and A French at A Level.

I have also worked as a youth worker for three years, and have a good rapport with my students. I am happy to discuss personalised goals and work levels, including homework amounts and covering additional subjects. Please get in touch if you want to chat!

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Education should be a complete support system, not just an isolated lesson. I design learning that bridges the gaps between school, home, and independent study — giving students structure, resources, and time-planning strategies to keep them moving forward.

Lessons are tailored to individual needs, with space for questions, mistakes, and exploration. Whether it’s guiding a student through a challenging text or refining their exam technique, my goal is to make progress feel achievable and rewarding.
