Xin

I am an approachable and friendly tutor with extensive experience working with children of varying abilities and backgrounds. After completing my A-levels with A*AAB from St Paul's Girls' School, I recently earned a Master's degree from UCL.

Having moved to the UK at the age of 13, I successfully improved my English skills, achieving an A in English Literature GCSE. My passion for mathematics has been lifelong, leading me to achieve A*s in Maths and Further Maths, win gold in the UK Maths Challenge, and participate in the British Olympiad for Girls.

I have firsthand experience with entrance exams, having applied to prestigious independent schools like St Paul's Girls' School, Westminster School, and Latymer Upper School. I began tutoring Key Stage Maths and Mandarin two years ago, and I have also taught English in China.

As a native Mandarin speaker, I am fluent in both written and spoken Mandarin, and I enjoy reading Mandarin literature. My diverse background and teaching experience make me well-equipped to support students in achieving their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I started tutoring children Maths and Mandarin (KS1, KS2, KS3, GCSE) 6years ago and I have developed different approaches to different children to suit the child's best. Volunteering at the primary school as a part-time teacher also helped me to find multiple methods to teach the younger kids. I also had experience teaching English abroad in a high school for 3 months with children from different backgrounds.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring methods are personalised with every child according to their goals and our available time. I will strengthen the child's strong points as well as improving their understanding of the subjects to build a strong base of knowledge. Towards the end of every lesson, I will leave a short time for the child's feedback to the session, teaching plan will be updated accordingly because frequent communication is very important for the progress.
