About Me

I am half Chinese, half Thai. I grew up from a mixed-cultural background, having lived in Hong Kong, Singapore, and currently London.

I am familiar with the IGCSE, IB and A-level system as I have been teaching students in London over the last 8 years.

I am a good listener, and a patient tutor. I always seek to build a trusting relationship with the tutees, whose learning progress and comfort is a top priority.

Aside from academics and tuition, I am also a freelance artist, specialised in oil painting, charcoal sketches and watercolours.
