Experience
- Postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Melbourne and CSIRO respectively. - I have been providing tutoring for maths, physics, chemistry, biology, sciences, statistics, UCAT/UMAT, and GAMSAT since 2008 and provided one-to-one tutoring, group tutoring, online tutoring, and short courses. - Part-time teaching associate at The University of Melbourne at present Having been working as a research scientist in the area of molecular biology more than 25 years, I gained experiences not only in biology, but chemistry, physics and maths as well. With my extensive experience in scientific research, I can explain those abstract concepts and theories by using tangible examples, help students to understand the logic developments and intrinsic connections of concepts and theories, which ultimately help students to understand subjects thoroughly. THE STYLE OF MY TUTORING: Helping students to understand the concepts and theories thoroughly is my highest priority. I thus try to explain the concepts and theories to be learned in the session by different methods, such as verbally description, graphically representation, numerically demonstration and algebraically symbolism. Students also have opportunities to apply the the concepts and theories in questions. After each session, I will provide customised notes, summary of topics based present study design, home work for students to practise, questions from past exam papers in topics in after lessons. MY FEE SCHEDULE: A free trial Zoom session for 15 minutes. The hourly RATES for one-to-one tutoring: – $90 for high school subjects. The Discount for bulk payments for one to one tutoring only – A $50 discount will be given for the bulk payment of ten hours for one-to-one tutoring. The hourly charge per person for group tutoring: – $60 for the group of two – $50 the group of three – $45 for the group of four or more MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHIES: When one prepares a high-stakes test, the major challenge is short of time. I believe that one-to-one tutoring and small group tutoring are the most effective ways to get ready for the test. Not only can test takers choose the topics they need to study and the pace with which they are comfortable, but I can tailor the materials to suit students' background and needs. Learning also need intensive coaching just like learning to play tennis. Lots of skills and theories can be grasped quickly through practices under individual coaching. Tailoring courses to meet students' needs creates an enjoyable learning environment. EXPERIENCES IN TEACHING Year to Year 10 maths and sciences I am familiar with Australian Curriculum for Year 7 to Year 10. The sciences subject includes physics, chemistry, biology and earth and space sciences. EXPERIENCES IN TEACHING VCE, IB and SAT SUBJECTS: I am familiar with the present VCE study designs (2016 -2021), IB Diploma Programme curricula, SAT subjects tests for maths, physics, chemistry or biology. I tailor the key theories and skills stipulated by the study designs into tangible pieces and guide students to use these theories and skills in solving the past exam questions. I detail the school-asessed coursework (SAC) or internal assessment (IA) into tangible tasks, such as forming hypothesis, rationalising experimental designs, interpreting results and discussing errors and questions. After working with me for a period of time, most of students normally can get A+ in both SAC/IA and the end of year exams. One of my VCE students was offered a place for pursuing Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). I have tutored the student VCE chemistry (raw score 49), VCE Biology (raw score 45), VCE Physics (raw score 40), VCE Maths Methods (raw score 40). The student's final ATAR was 99.55. THE VCE SUBJECTS (UNITS 1, 2, 3 &4) I teach: VCE Foundation Maths, VCE General Maths, VCE Maths Methods, VCE Further Maths, VCE Specialist Maths, VCE Physics, VCE Chemistry, VCE Biology. IB SUBJECTS I TEACH: IB Further Mathematics HL, IB Mathematical Studies SL, IB Mathematics HL, IB Mathematics SL, IB Physics HL, IB Physics SL, IB Biology HL, IB Biology SL ,IB Chemistry HL, IB Chemistry SL SAT Math, SAT Subject Tests, SAT Mathematics, SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 1, SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2, SAT Subject Test in Chemistry, SAT Subject Test in Chinese with Listening, SAT Subject Test in Biology E/M, Australian physics olympiad, Australian chemistry olympiad, Australian biology olympiad UCAT: I have tutored UCAT (previous UMAT) since 2008. My expertise in biological research gives me many advantages to develop effective strategies to solve UCAT questions, logic reasoning & problem solving and abstractl reasoning, which test student's ability in scientific reasoning. Students find my strategies very effective, especially in continuing the series, picking the middle, completing the picture, logical reasoning. Majority of my students can achieve a percentile of 95% or higher. Quite a few of my UMAT students got an average percentile of 98% in UMAT. STATISTICS Statistics is a theory of information, with inference making as its objective and widely used in medical, biological, psychological, and economical research and daily work. It is now regarded as a separate field, analogous to physics—not as a branch of mathematics but as a theory of information that utilises mathematics heavily. I have been using statistics in my scientific research work since 1988 and helped many clients and students who learned and used statistics from a wide range background, such as to analyse clinic date, design and analyse the psychological surveys, study quantitative methods used in commerce and economic areas. I have developed a strong expertise in statistics. I provide tutoring and consultancy for statistics in biological, medical, psychological and economical areas. I provide help from understanding the complex concepts and theories, designing and analysing statistic data, and interpreting the statistic results from common used statistic programs. GAMSAT SECTION III. I have been following GAMSAT since 2007 and I have expertise in the topics and theories frequently tested in GAMSAT Section III, the sciences part. I have summarised theories and concepts needed for GAMSAT section III and complied and classified the questions tested in previous years according the science developments. In this way, the GAMSAT takers find my lectures are easy to follow and to grasp. I help GAMSAT takers to link the science concepts and theories with the GAMSAT Section III questions and develop effective strategies and practise skills to solve these questions. You are free to choose to learn GAMSAT Physics, GAMSAT Chemistry, GAMSAT Biology, or even any topics of GAMSAT S3. GAMSAT participants have greatly improved their scores in GAMSAT Section III after working with me for a period of time. One client has been offered a place to pursue MBBS at the University of Sydney in 2012, one was offered a place at Deakin in 2013, quite a few received offers from Deakin and Monash for a MBBS places. One got an offer from a medical school from UK. TESTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND SELECTIVE SCHOOLS I am familiar with the knowledge and skills tested in Edutest and ACER scholarship tests. Two of my EduTest/scholarships students have been selected to attend The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Many of them got superior levels in their mathematics, numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning sections. OTHER STANDARD TESTS: I also have experience in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), Chinese (Mandarin), and helping students to prepare for standard exams, such as IELTS, GRE, SAT I. CHINESE/MANDARIN Before I came to Australia to Ph. D. student, I got a B. Sc. and a M. Sc. degree in China. I teach Chinese, Mandarin at all levels. At present, I work as a casual interpreter for several Australian companies. Students got very good results in VCE (Chinese First Language, Chinese Second Language and Chinese Second Language Advanced). I love teaching, understanding the needs of students, have the skills and experience to help students to achieve at the level they desire. Thank you so much for your interest in my service.

MY RESPONSES TO COMMENTS I sincerely appreciate my previous clients who have taken time to write their comments. All these comments are very important and precious for me to improve my service. The positive ones confirm what I have done. The negative ones give me the areas and direction for me to modify my routine. I understand that there are lots of areas I do not know in maths and sciences. More detailed communication with clients are very important, which help me to judge the areas in which my clients need are within my expertise.
