Hi there! I'm Irene and I offer ONLINE tutorials in Humanities subjects and English Lang/Lit for secondary students in Hong Kong.

My lessons are all online via Skype or Zoom. As my tutorials often have a writing/essay focus, I use a Google Doc to share and collaborate with students in real time. We also use PDFs or real textbooks assigned to the student in their school classes to make sure we cover all the appropriate knowledge.

I have been a private tutor for over 10 years, with a BA (Honours) in History and Politics at a London university. I also studied at an international school in Hong Kong for the IGCSE and IB Diploma, and teach students how to prepare for these exams!

(If you're interested, my IB Diploma HLs were History, Psychology and English Language and Literature, and my Theory of Knowledge essay was world-recognised!)

For History tutorials, I can cover most areas, particularly in modern history: US History includes Cold War, Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movement; modern Chinese history; modern Russian history; World War I and World War II; as well as Hong Kong colonial history. If you're studying something not mentioned here, please do message me anyway because I am a huge history and politics buff! Read less

My lessons are NOT formal or stuffy! I know that History can seem a little boring to some students, with all the dates, names and places that you need to remember - but I aim to make history TANGIBLE and RELEVANT for students. In addition to prescribed textbooks, I recommend TV shows, films, novels, podcasts, and TED Talks to students regarding the topic so that they can expand their understanding of the subject. Above all, learning can be FUN, I promise! Read less
