Throughout high school, I dedicated myself to a variety of subjects, achieving top scores of 5 out of 5 in all 8 AP courses I took, including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 2, AP Calculus BC, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, AP Chinese, and AP English Language and Composition. My hard work and passion for learning were recognized with the Freeman Asian Scholarship, a full merit scholarship awarded to only 11 students in my university class, and I was honored to be the 2021-2022 recipient from Hong Kong. With several years of tutoring experience in both non-AP and AP subjects, I've developed a knack for making complex concepts more accessible and engaging for students. Additionally, I volunteer at a local middle school near my university, where I support students who are at risk of failing, helping them not only improve academically but also build a more positive attitude towards learning.

My tutoring approach centers on promoting deep understanding, problem-solving skills, and resilience in my students. I achieve this through a balanced combination of direct explanations and thoughtful questioning, ensuring that my students can confidently apply their knowledge in unfamiliar situations. I firmly believe that with enough time and the right, positive learning attitude, anyone can learn anything. My goal is to empower my students with this belief in themselves, fostering a sense of self-confidence and a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
