What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
As a tutor what I really enjoy is having the ability to influence growth and at the same time see it at different levels among individual students. I believe the test as a tutor or an educator is not merely influenced by how well you are able to relay the information to the students, but also the energy, enthusiasm, and overall persona you display in a classroom environment enabling the best possible growth outcomes for your students. If I am able to achieve this I am not only proud of the student for their growth, but also I feel a sense of personal success and accomplishment.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
Through my experience being a tutor, I believe my strengths as a tutor are my ability to adapt, patience within the classroom, public speaking skills, and also my willingness to engage in the topic along side the student, as I find Maths, English and Science(s) all to be fundamentally important and extremely interesting I am able to engage with what I am teaching to the student and I believe in that way I can properly influence the students growth and enrich their learning to the highest potential.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not to assess them purely based on their ability to memorize and reciprocate information, or to try to teach them in the same way as every other student, but to adjust and be understanding that every student has a different learning capacity, and adapt to each student to ensure they get the best out of their learning journey. I believe itโs not merely about the outcome, but also the process of learning that is so crucial by giving a student lasting impressions of the subject to ensure they are well equipped for the future ahead.Subjects Tutored ๐

About Shijie
Creative Educator with Strong Classroom Experience
Shijie is an experienced art teacher who has worked with students from kindergarten through to senior high school, designing and delivering engaging lessons across painting, collage and colour theory. He regularly assesses student work and gives clear, constructive feedback so learners know exactly how to improve. By documenting student projects and helping to exhibit them, this tutor shows students the value of their effort and progress, building confidence that easily transfers into subjects like English and Maths.
Leadership, Communication and Bilingual Support
As a former house captain and prefect, Shijie is used to guiding younger students, speaking in front of groups and encouraging others to stay on track. He brings these leadership skills into tutoring by setting clear expectations and motivating students in a calm, organised way. Being fluent in both English and Chinese, he can support bilingual families, explain tricky ideas in the language that makes most sense, and help students develop clearer written and spoken English.
Patient, Structured and Student-Centred Approach
In the classroom, Shijie is known for creating inclusive, supportive environments where every student feels comfortable asking questions. He carefully plans lessons, manages resources and breaks tasks into manageable steps so students donโt feel overwhelmed. His science studies in microbiology and immunology give him a logical, methodical mindset, which he applies to problem-solving in Maths and structured writing in English. This tutor focuses on helping each student find practical strategies that suit their learning style.

William picked up the concept of gradient quickly and plotted points from a table of values confidently.

Occasionally mixed up which value is the gradient and which is the y-intercept when reading a rule worth a little more practice.
William was much more confident distinguishing gradient from y-intercept this lesson clearly took last lesson's feedback on board.

Needs to slow down when calculating gradient between two points, as small sign errors crept in under time pressure.
William enjoyed the application questions and could interpret gradient and intercept in context (e.g. "cost per item" vs. "fixed fee") without prompting.

The distance formula still needs repetition currently relies on having it written down rather than recalling it independently.
William grasped the shape and features of a parabola quickly, including reading the turning point straight from the equation.

Found it trickier to tell hyperbola and circle equations apart a quick refresher before the next graphing topic would help.
