Hello! I'm Nathan and I am a Grade 12 student at Hong Kong International School. I was born and raised in Hong Kong and I've been going to HKIS since I was 9 years old. I have a passion for history, politics, and anything humanities-related! Besides my academic pursuits, I also do Model United Nations and Italian language learning on the side as well as seeing the world whenever I can.
Honor Roll at HKIS, received AP Scholar with Distinction Award. Completed 5 AP exams (World History, European History, English Language & Composition, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics) and will be doing an additional 4 AP exams in May (US History, US Government, Comparative Government, English Literature). Received a superscore of 33 on the ACT.
Although I do not have any professional tutoring experiences, I have had tutored my sisters in taking the SSAT as well as navigating the curriculum for World History and the JFK program at Choate Rosemary Hall. Specifically, I have a strong passion for history and politics and have taken both AP World History and AP European history exams, achieving a 5 in both and I am currently taking AP U.S. History as well as AP Government.
In my tutoring approach, I like to help people understand the context and create a paradigm for understanding content. Whereas some tutors may just paraphrase a lecture, I believe in teaching students how to approach content and review it themselves through a paradigm rather than simply explaining the content and moving on. I also believe that this teaching style would not only equip students in understanding history and English assignments but approach all fields of academics and even some parts of life itself. The best way to teach (in my opinion) is to teach a man to fish, and not just give him one.
