University of Hong Kong
Hey! I'm currently in my final year of university at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). I am pursuing a bachelor's in Economics and Finance, with a minor in Cognitive Science. I have been based in Hong Kong for the past 4 years, before which I completed my high school education in the IBDP curriculum in Seoul, South Korea. I am an avid reader and read over 100 books annually. I am a student academic advisor for incoming undergraduates at the HKU Business School and have been actively engaged in mentorship programs for my juniors. I enjoy hiking and meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. I've been high school valedictorian for multiple consecutive years with full scores in mathematics, science, computers and social sciences.

I believe in structuring the study plan as per the needs of the curricula but also matching the student's learning style and capabilities to focus on areas of growth and ultimately target excellence.When teaching subjects like Mathematics, and Economics which may involve more quantitative problem-solving - my approach would be to build a strong understanding and foundation of core concepts. This is vital since any questions that they may be tested on will hinge on their understanding and logical application of the fundamental concepts. After this, I believe practice questions, regular review and discussion of doubts would help consolidate the concepts and help with knowledge retention. I will engage actively with the student to help them with their academic concepts, test preparation and answering questions to help them achieve their target scores. Along with this, I could provide some guidance on university applications or other extracurricular-related questions they may have. I have gained extensive internship experience in the financial services space in Hong Kong, from big consulting firms to banking and am happy to advise, help build professional connections and share my experience with students to help them gain clarity if they aim to pursue similar fields.

Tutoring Experience
Being a self-motivated and high-achieving student throughout my academic career, i have been through the rigour of the Indian education system as well as the International Baccalaureate wherein I achieved a Bilingual IB diploma. I have previous mentorship and informal tutoring experience as i have held multiple leadership roles in my school and college life. Having lived in three Asian countries and moved to different high schools due to the expat lifestyle, I also have a good gauge of how to adapt to curriculums and manage study load, college applications and extracurriculars. My approach to tutoring would be to build the session per the tutee's needs and to cater to their individual learning style. I believe in active interaction, building strong foundations, regular practice and studying smart.
