Lok Yiu Candice

Well versed in English Literature and the Arts, I am deeply passionate about academia, where I will be furthering my English teaching career at the University of Oxford studying PGCE in English, where I will gain a QTS.

Tutoring Experience

I teach English and English Literature GCSE/IGCSE, A Level, IB, HKDSE, foundation year and degree level. I have covered major exam boards such as AQA and Edexcel. I have taught students taking GCSE/IGCSE, A Level, AP, Pre-U and IB exams. I have also taught some from unconventional courses, such as BTECs, foundation year and degree level students. I can tutor for any exam board and any syllabus. I also assist with UCAS applications, personal statements, entrance exams and any challenges Secondary School students may face approaching university applications.

Tutoring Approach

I have been a private tutor with more than 5 years of experience. I have also worked as a peer mentor in my Secondary School, focusing on EAL students and native English-speaking students. I strictly adhere to an examination syllabus and create sets of worksheets for their independent studies, as well as examination-based drills at the end of each lesson to track their progress. I provide each student with constructive criticism and assign individual students with personalised tasks to ensure they maintain a cycle of self-study and supervised learning which accelerates optimal results.
