Carmia
University of Hong Kong (HKU)
Hi! I am Carmia, a current student at the University of Hong Kong. Previously, I attended Li Po Chun United World College and grew up in England attending Oundle School. My passion for teaching began when I became a piano teacher, providing music and theory lessons after receiving my diploma. Extending to academic curriculums in recent years allowed me to accumulate rich experience in Science, Chinese, English, Environmental systems and societies, Maths, Geography for IGCSE and IB.

Growing up with such a vast diversity of people, I understood the significance of individuality, whether it is students' characters, or learning methods, every aspect of a student contributes tremendously to their understanding, highlighting the importance of having a tailor-made tutoring program. Fundamentally, I am a big believer in active learning such as explaining concepts in students' own words, drawing mind maps and diagrams, being able to answer questions or applying knowledge to real-life scenarios. I am strongly convinced that this is the most effective way of learning, as well as the most meaningful approach as application of knowledge is what makes education worthwhile. From my previous tutoring experience, I have observed the interconnection between short term and long term memory, through practicing the method of review, revise and repeat, allowing students to vividly engrave knowledge for not only test taking but more so lifelong learning.

Tutoring Experience
I have years of tutoring experience in both Hong Kong and England, teaching in English and Cantonese with students from different nationalities and backgrounds, including SEN and underprivileged students in St James Settlement, as well as providing education for Espoir School of Life in the Philippines. I mainly focus on the IGCSE and IB curriculum, but can confidently tutor middle school or primary school students as well. Completing 11 subjects with A* in IGCSE and finishing IB last year, with gold and silver being awarded in UKMT (olympiad mathematics) in consecutive years, I specialise in teaching Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language and Literature, Maths, Geography, Chinese for IGCSE, Biology, ESS and Mandarin B/ab for IB.
