Hey everyone! I am looking to mainly provide interactive Economics or University Admissions (Both HK and UK) tutoring, although I am also able to teach Mathematics and English, and provide career advice - having interned / received offers from many international firms in investment banking, accounting, consulting, asset management etc.

Here are some of my key qualifications:
• Incoming economics graduate (July) at Trinity College, University of Cambridge - the best Oxford and Cambridge college academically.
• Scored highest admissions interview and problem solving test scores in the whole cohort at Trinity
• Self-studied A-Levels and SATs, scoring A*A*A*A*, taking Maths and Further Maths early, and achieved 800/800 in both SAT Physics and Mathematics II
• Awarded the Young Economist of the Year Award by the Royal Economics Society after coming first internationally in their research competition
• Multiple other scholarships / awards, including a General Exhibition award for university admissions and an Honorary King's Scholarship
• Served as a committee member on Cambridge's student union, and the Chairman / President of many of its societies, including the Investment Research Society and Asia Business Society.


Tutoring related experience:
• Been through the admissions process for both UK and HK universities, including Economics, Global Business, Law, and Medicine, receiving offers from all universities I applied to, with full scholarships from multiple universities such as HKU and CUHK (Global Business)
• Previous experience mentoring students for university admissions for a wide range of subjects, with all students securing offers from their dream universities, including Cambridge (Economics), LSE (Law), and Medicine

Most importantly though, I am humble and hard-working. I look forward to helping you understand economics / the university admissions process! Read less

My teaching method is focused on interaction and engagement. I encourage questions both-ways, and aim to push students past the basic syllabus with a range of examples. I also put a big emphasis on understanding and intuition, making concepts simple to understand. Finally, I also teach students how to approach problems in a structured and logical manner, using easy to understand frameworks - making both the student and examiner's job easier. Read less
