Verified Tutor
Oscar has several years of hands-on experience supporting younger students, both as a private tutor and as a peer mentor at high school. He has worked one-on-one with a junior student every week, helping her build core skills in English, maths and science from a very low starting point. Through this, he has learnt how to explain ideas in simple, relatable ways and break tasks into manageable steps, which is especially valuable for students who lack confidence or have fallen behind.
Currently completing his senior years in a high-achievement extension program, this tutor understands the pressure of school assessments and how to study efficiently. Oscar uses his own experience to show students practical techniques for revising, planning homework and preparing for tests. He focuses on building strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, while also sharing strategies for logical thinking in maths and science. Parents can expect someone who knows the curriculum from a studentβs perspective and can translate it into everyday language.
Oscar is fluent in English and Mandarin and also speaks Shanghainese, which helps him connect with students from diverse backgrounds and explain tricky concepts in the language that makes most sense to them. He has previously used his language skills to support people who struggled with English, an experience that sharpened his patience and communication. With interests in DIY engineering and technology, he enjoys using real-world examples, simple diagrams and creative explanations to make lessons engaging and memorable for primary and high school learners.
