My name is Long Him. I am an 18-year-old Y13 student studying at the German Swiss International School (GSIS). I live in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, and I offer tuition for mathematics (including further mathematics), physics, chemistry, and German at IB level and below. Additionally, I provide Oxbridge interview preparation for mathematics, engineering, or physics. Despite not receiving an offer to study mathematics at Cambridge, I can give aspiring Oxbridge applicants a taste of what an Oxbridge interview is like. I am also available to give feedback on UK university applications (UCAS), provide university counseling, and assist with TOK essays for IB students.
I will be attending UCL to study mathematics and mathematical physics (applied mathematics). Here are my academic qualifications:
- IB predicted grades: 44/45 points, HL physics, chemistry, mathematics 777, SL English literature, German, Economics 776
- IGCSE: 9 A*s, including mathematics (standard and further pure), physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, music, German, and Chinese
- Sprachdiplom German qualifications: DSD2 C1 (for those who do not know, the C1 level qualifies my level of German to be equivalent to that of a native speaker)
I have received university offers from UCL (mathematics), the University of Warwick (mathematics and physics), the University of Manchester (mathematics and physics and astrophysics) on a full scholarship, HKUST (mathematics) on a full scholarship, and the University of British Columbia (mathematics) on a full scholarship.
Last school year, I participated in the South-East Asian Mathematics Competition (SEAMC), where I placed in the top 30 worldwide among students from all of Asia and the United Kingdom.
Due to the cancellation of IB exams, I am more than happy to adjust my schedule to accommodate everyone's best time. My preference would be to conduct online lessons due to the COVID-19 situation. Read less

For exam preparation, I will be trying to clarify concepts and review past papers. For lower year students, I can assist with homework tasks, but my main focus will be on clarifying concepts. In regards to German, I can teach vocabulary and grammar. As for university counselling, I offer advice on which universities to apply to in the UK and the US for all subjects. I can also help with UK application writing and provide mock interviews for Oxbridge, replicating the format of a real Oxbridge interview that I have personally experienced. Read less
