I'm Sean (25), a friendly and passionate English and Humanities tutor from the United Kingdom. I recently graduated from two top British Universities and have extensive knowledge of the UK academic system, both at the university and school levels. I am looking to tutor students at any educational level, although I have particular experience in tutoring prospective and current university students in English and the humanities, as well as improving and sharpening the grammar and spoken English of non-native English speakers.

I graduated from the School of Oriental and African Studies with a Masters in Anthropology in 2022 and from University College London (UCL) in Politics, Sociology, and East European Studies in 2020. Both of these degrees were quite interdisciplinary, and as such, I gained insight into the specific styles and discourses of a number of different academic disciplines. Therefore, I have had success in guiding Hong Kongers in their applications and transitions to undergraduate life in the United Kingdom, particularly with the sharpening of both written and spoken English.

I am available to teach at your home anywhere in the New Territories, Kowloon, or Hong Kong Island. I am also available for online tutoring, although results are usually much better in person. Read less

As a tutor, I do not believe in the traditional, highly regimented, memorization-focused approach. Having learned Spanish and Russian, I found that these methods turned the joy of language learning into an interminable list of words to memorize, rather than a whole world to explore. My method focuses on developing a fundamental understanding of the internal logic of English, so that the student can always be analyzing and learning from any source they come across. Read less
