I am a 12th-grade student at HKIS and am extremely passionate about teaching. I love history, social studies, and math, and have grown up speaking Mandarin and Cantonese fluently. As the oldest of 3 siblings, I have grown up as a role model and teacher my entire life. My interest in teaching has extended to my experience as a Teacher's assistant at a summer school in Boston, where I got to shadow a Chinese teacher and even teach my own lessons! Besides academic subjects, I am also a passionate swim coach and have taught kids around my neighborhood how to swim since I was 14.
I have taken 5 APs so far: AP Chinese, AP European History, AP US History, AP Chemistry, and AP English Language, on which I scored all 5s. I plan on taking 6 more tests this year: AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, AP Comparative Government, AP US Government, AP Calculus AB, and AP English Literature. I have a 1540 SAT and have been awarded the National Merit Scholarship letter of commendation for the PSAT.
I have been tutoring Chinese and Math at various levels since I was 11, and even have experience in teaching young children to swim. I have taught many different subjects across all grade levels, from Second Grade Chinese to Tenth Grade History. My experience teaching at a Chinese summer school grew my teaching skills, as I learned to curate lesson plans for big classes and adapt to the different language abilities my students had. Some highlights were helping a non-native Mandarin speaker score an A on Chinese IGCSE and a young 6th grader conquer fractions.
