About Me
I hold an Integrated MSc Pharmacology (1:1) from KCL and University of Oxford. I am natively proficient in Cantonese and English, also proficient in Mandarin.
I enjoy teaching the piano, the flute, phonics/spoken English in my free time. I enjoy interacting with people from various backgrounds. I enjoy guiding and empowering my students in their pursuits with a positive learning attitude, in so doing boost their confidence.
I completed the Music Theory Grade 5 exam at age 10. Attained my ABRSM Grade 8 for piano and double bass at ages 11 and 15, as well as LTCL (Trinity) for flute at age 14. I played in orchestras and various local/international competitions throughout my childhood in Hong Kong.
I have worked across London, Oxford, Shanghai, Hong Kong (hometown). Friends and students describe me as an upbeat, cheerful, and enthusiastic person. In terms of my style of teaching, I am flexible, comfortable, and versatile. My teaching will be dependent on the student's needs -- combining structured/systematic teaching and malleability, working to the student's needs, potential and character.
