Hi~ My name is Alris, and I am currently a Physics masters student at University of Zurich (Switzerland). I have studied in Yew Chung International School from year 4-7, studied in the US in year 8, and in the UK from year 9-13, and at CUHK for my Bachelors (1st Honors) I am holding GCSE and GCE A-level qualifications, which are UK versions of IGCSE and IAL. I currently have two students (Year 9 & Year 10). I tutor mathematics and sciences, and since they have started their lessons with me, their past assessment grade levels have jumped at least two grades, with one student achieving the highest grade consistently. Given my background in Physics, I am a very methodical teacher. For students in secondary school, I would explain the concept briefly, and put my focus on explaining how to solve the problem step by step, then guide the student through the same process. Furthermore, I am able to point out to students on questions that can be solved in a similar process, such that they can use the practised methods on unfamiliar problems. Apart from being highly methodical, I am a very patient teacher. My past maths & physics students have weaker mathematical skills, and often leave the school maths/physics class I like to give encouragement as I watch the student solve a given problem, and would guide them back to the right direction when they are solving the problem wrongly. For my younger students, I often bring a higher energy in my lessons. In addition, I employ a sticker reward system, and students can exchange them for a small reward such as candy/biscuits. I understand that younger students have a shorter attention span, therefore l would curate an interactive learning seesion break such as a 5minute number card game in a tutoring session if that is needed. Tutoring experience: I have taught phonics to K3 students, of which one is a SEN student. I have briefly taught a HKDSE F.3 physics student. During my time in the UK, I was the maths and physics ambassador in my high school. I co-run the maths help clinic during lunchtime, where I would tutor students who require help in their maths homework. I also have experience in teaching IB SL mathematics. My preferred language of instruction is English. Since l am a masters student, my schedule is highly flexible. Asking homework problems on whatsapp is highly welcomed for me as a tutor.
