Verified Tutor
Hong is a science-focused tutor who understands what itβs like to be a student right now, having recently completed high school and gone straight into a Bachelor of Science in botany and statistics. This tutor is well placed to help students bridge the gap between school maths and real scientific thinking, explaining topics like data, graphs and probability in clear, everyday language. She brings a calm, approachable style, ideal for primary and high school students who need concepts broken down step by step.
Through her work supporting a wide range of students online, Hong has honed strong communication skills, especially with learners from different language and cultural backgrounds. She is used to answering lots of questions, checking understanding, and rephrasing explanations until they click. This tutor draws on that experience in sessions, encouraging students to speak up about what they find confusing and guiding them to build confidence in both written and spoken English, as well as explaining maths ideas clearly and logically.
Hongβs volunteer work in a fly lab, plant identification projects and a herbarium means she doesnβt just study science in theory β she works with it in practice. She uses these experiences to show students how maths and science connect to the real world, from simple measurements and counting to understanding patterns in nature. In tutoring, she likes to use concrete examples, visuals and simple experiments or observations that turn abstract ideas into something students can see, describe and genuinely understand.
