Since entering university in 2014, I have taken up part-time teaching and tutoring of students ranging from kindergarten to university. I have taught Mathematics, Biology and English to primary and high school students. I am also familiar with the IB and GCE A level curriculum and have tutored many students to prepare for those exams as well as work on the assessed coursework. Other than working in centers or freelance for companies, I also do private tutoring at home and have a number of students who came looking to cram last minute before exams. It is safe to say that they all achieved good grades in the end. I also have a conditional offer from HKU to enter their Masters of Literary and Cultural Studies and intend on continuing my education until a PhD.  As an interdisciplinary teacher, I understand how different approaches benefit different subjects and students. I strive to make meaningful teacher-student relationships where students feel understood and comfortable enough to engage with me. Drawing on my experiences as a life-long student, I am sensitive to the obstacles and difficulties faced when dealing with new learning objectives and constantly adapt to my students’ needs. A key aim of mine is to infuse as much enthusiasm into teaching as possible. I believe students learn best when they can enjoy and participate in how the subject is being taught. By using my own personal anecdotes and drawing on the students life experiences, I conduct group discussions and allow them to develop each other’s learning abilities. I also seek out new authentic material that could supplement the curriculum and encourage out-of-classroom learning. Overall, I am a fun-loving and enthusiastic teacher who wants to show students that learning does not have to be a tedious task but instead, a satisfying experience for self-development.

My name is Ryan Wat and I am a second-year student pursuing a double major in International Business

My name is Ryan Wat and I am a second-year student pursuing a double major in International Business and Finance at The University of Hong Kong.  I have over two years of tutoring experience at the GCSE / IGCSE and International Baccalaureate level, predominantly teaching Economics, Mathematics as well as Chemistry, Physics and Biology at both levels. All of my students have seen improvements in their test scores and attained great results, especially for Economics and Mathematics at the IB level; most (5 out of 7) have attained Level 7’s after working with me. Additionally, I am also currently a part of Transcend Economics, a group of HKU-based students who have previously excelled in IB Economics and are dedicated to replicating this success in other students through tutoring.  I love teaching, and my teaching style involves explaining concepts simply and using questions and relatable examples to drive them home - especially beneficial to students who have difficulties in grasping new or challenging concepts. I also understand examination results are, objectively, typically the most important thing to students and parents, so I always ensure that my students are able to apply their knowledge effectively in examination contexts. Aside from that, I am a patient and dedicated teacher who is always adaptable to my students’ needs and personalities.

I have had over 12 years of teaching experience in Hong Kong, as a Native English Teacher. I have worked with all different aged children from pre-school all the way to secondary years.   The different levels i have taught have helped me to experience how every child has a different need to learn effectively. My students have progressed tremendously well within a few classes with me and have actually continued on when they see how well they can preform.  With tuition centres i have helped many students gain their confidence in learning and making English learning fun!!

I am an English, mathematics, and university business/IT course tutor with experience in assisting local and Mandarin-speaking students in their essay homework for English, science, and humanities studies subjects.  Students with mother tongue in Mandarin will appreciate my near-native fluency as it allows them to communicate with me freely in Mandarin when they face difficulty expressing what they want to talk or write about.  My university students and adults chose me as their business and business-related IT course assignment tutor for my MBA knowledge from The University of Toronto and my sales, management, and IT experiences from multinational companies like General Electric and The Swire Group. I studied Oxford's fintech and MIT's AI program for my student who was under my tutoring for GMAT mathematics and application essay for The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program (also all the EMBA courses when it begins).  The undertaking of completing the weekly assignments in about 7 hours each without first studying the fintech and AI materials was inspiring, a gesture of goodwill to extend my help and save $130,000 tutoring fee (the fee that would incur if I were paid the recommended 200 hours of studying) rather than arrogance in despising the difficulty of the fairly new materials.  About learning spoken English using both English and Mandarin (or Cantonese), I am grateful that my students (e.g., a university professor with a Ph.D. and managers from multinational firms) appreciate the bilingual method (no magic indeed) which allows them to improve the speed of responding to questions and their confidence in asking and answering.  The educational backgrounds of my adult students are mostly degree qualified.  Some examples of their occupations are business lawyer, logistics manager, professor at The Chinese University of H.K., accountant, secretary, and students of Oxford, MIT, and USC.

I had the chance to have a grandother who was n english teacher. Thanks to her I had the will to travel the world and whenever I teach I think people need to enjoy and nderstand why they do this. Games or activities, debates, general knowledge is what you can expect from me , I want my students to be proud to have me asa teacher and share with their parents what they learned and did on the day. I try to know my student's fears and work with them on it (speak in public, make their homeworks on time)   I have been teaching in Centers in France, China and Vietnam, to kids and adults.

I am currently teaching in a tuition center with 4 years experience teaching phonics, grammar and writing. I also teach Mathematics to children as young as 3 years old to Primary 4. I usually have a small class of 2-4 children. Since I do not speak Cantonese, I believe my students have an advantage of being able to practice their conversational skills when we are doing one on one or group coaching. I am naturally inquisitive so I often ask follow up question or related questions to verify their understanding or mastery of the concept. I believe that kids learn at their own pace so it is the teacher's duty to  only facilitate or direct their learning.

LEARNING THE WAYS OF BETTER ENGLISH WITH CLT /// Q.: How Can This Instructor Positively Affect My

LEARNING THE WAYS OF BETTER ENGLISH WITH CLT /// Q.: How Can This Instructor Positively Affect My or My Child's English Ability? A.: What you get when you sign up for my time can be summed up in 2 words: *individualized attention*. Either in one's own home or a designated venue, our students receive the keys to access their personal best as students of English. When learning barriers are unlocked, the possibilities are limitless! To fully digest the power of these assertions, you'll need to know how people can most expediently acquire proficiency in a second language. Before I get into the nuts and bolts of this, it helps to know how I attained my own 'Zen' of linguistic pedagogy.  In 2012 I finally convinced myself that despite having already worked as an English instructor for nearly six years in Asia, it was time to attain formal Teaching of English as a Second Overseas Language (TESOL) certification. Luckily the course I choose was a solid one that delved into the wide spectrum of TESOL theory. Being a modern course developed out of Beverly Hills, California, it centered on a teaching methodology I can frankly say in hindsight was alien to me: Communicative Language Teaching, or more simply CLT.  The best way to grasp the core concept of CLT is to understand how it contrasts to conventional classroom instruction. As you may have similarly experienced as a pupil, the lessons I received in the public school system were based on the very traditional model of one teacher to many students. The one-to-many approach works well enough across a range of subjects, from arithmetic and physics to history and phys-ed. However, language acquisition courses under this mode usually leave a lot to be desired. The problem stems from the students' lack of actually *using* the target language during lesson time. Though they can reasonably expect to pick up mechanical elements such as grammar, spelling and phonics, it's a far loftier goal to meaningfully communicate with one another in the target language. In fact the conventional classroom, as I've known it, hinders free communication amongst students trained to speak only when spoken to by the teacher. In a CLT class things are done a lot differently. The first aim of the teacher, particularly one handling a full body of students, is to divide them into manageable numbers. As I'll soon relate, this is for the benefit of the language students rather than their instructor. Recall that the 'C' of CLT represents the term *communicative*. While it's true that the conventional language class usually has a lot of communicating going on, it's directly led by the instructor. Conversely, the CLT classroom features a teacher who acts more as a facilitator. Having organized a class of, say, 20 or so students into four seperate groups, the teacher can then assign these discussion groups a variety of interchange activities that effectively pushes each member into an active participant role in which they rely on the target language for communication. A second important consideration here is that in contrast to the traditional teacher-to-students (T>Ss) model introduced above, this alternative configuration impresses a students-to-students (Ss><Ss) framework producing greater student talk time (STT). When the aim of the language lesson is to have students acquire oral fluency, the CLT methodology is a strong choice. Q.: So how does the CLT method work in a tutoring session? A.: The benefits realized in a CLT classroom transfer equally well to tutoring. Having served in this role for several years now, I can attest to its efficacy. We necessarily go back to the teacher-to-student model when we're talking about a traditional tutored lesson. Yet tutoring by design is an obviously different creature compared to class teaching because the student receives their instructor's *direct* attention for the duration of the lesson. That's the inherent bonus of receiving competent tutelage. CLT-styled lessons, when delivered by the same instructor, can sweeten the honeypot for the pupil that much more. In addition to reaping the benefits of focused instruction, the student is invited to engage the CLT instructor not as a lesson authoritarian but more as a respected peer. In this sense, second-language *dialogue* more than the monologue associated with traditional teaching is fostered by the instructor. Now that CLT has gained increasing acceptance in the EFL industry, a good selection of publications and software have come to the market as a complement for the tutor's application of this proven methodology.  During my time as an English teacher in Asia I've had the opportunity to work each of the foregoing modes of teaching. The timeless benchmark of teaching is that of the sage gray beard imparting his knowledge upon his many pupils. For the task of learning a given subject it remains a hard benchmark to better. Language acquisition is another kind of endeavor, however, that should always ask the *student* to offer their fair share of the talking in the target language. Communicative Languauge Teaching encourages this model of communication, a model that lends itself quite well to tutoring. Over the years this teacher has been convinced English learning using CLT is the 'right' way. And the good news for you the prospective student is that it's also my way. Bruce Gillis, A.S., B.Lit
