Hi! I’m Paco, a recent graduate of the Phillips Exeter Academy—one of the top U.S. boarding schools—and an incoming freshman at Colby College, a leading liberal arts college in the U.S. Based in Hong Kong Island (but willing to travel and work with students online), I offer personalized tutoring in English, writing, and the humanities for students aiming to excel academically or prepare for studies abroad. My teaching style is shaped by Exeter’s renowned Harkness method—an interactive, discussion-based approach that encourages students to think critically, articulate ideas clearly, and engage deeply with material. I bring this same philosophy into my tutoring, creating an open and supportive learning environment where students feel heard, challenged, and inspired. Whether you’re refining an essay, preparing for international school entrance exams, improving reading comprehension, or developing analytical writing skills, I tailor each lesson to your individual goals and pace. As someone who has successfully navigated competitive academic environments, I understand what it takes to stand out, and I’m committed to helping students build both the skills and the mindset needed to thrive. I will also be able to provide source material, notes, and presentations, as well as readings from the Exeter curriculum to students.
