I'm Yi, and I graduated from the Queensland Academy of Creative Industries (QACI) in 2020 with the dux award. I now study Bachelor of Education and Arts dual degree in Psychology and Chinese translation and interpretation at UQ. Fun fact though, I did not receive any awards in grade 10. By tutoring you, I can share with you effective study techniques that could help you get from the most average student to the top. - I believe a good teacher must be supportive, flexible and open to suggestions. Why? Because I want every single student I teach to be successful and thrive academically. However, without a open-mind set, one can never adapt to the most suitable way of teaching for each individual student. Because each student is unique and different. I am willing to adjust lessons plans to maximise each student’s potential. Followed by being optimistic and patience – a good teacher must be willing to put time and effort into their students. No student likes a teacher who reads off Powerpoint and textbooks. Students need condensed and precise material that is beneficial for their life-long studying as well as school examinations. Saying this, since I have been through extreme ups and downs along my academic journey, I am more than well equipped to help students overcome challenges and difficulties in staying motivated to study. Over the years, I have tried many different studying techniques that I cannot wait to share with students of my own! I break down the syllabus of the subject, and identify the weaknesses and strengths of the student to improve with a specific target. Instead of using a set lesson structure, I alter each lesson depending on how the student is progressing in their understanding. So, I accordingly allocate time periods for teaching, discussing, clarification/questioning & testing for understanding. These critical interactions with the student will allow me to grow their knowledge and skills and hopefully ensure measurable improvements for them within the subject. I will share with you cheatsheets, several resources, tools to accelerate you to success. One of my students topped the cohort in Biology HL. I have had students improve from grade 4to6 (7 highest) in one month, and a grade 2 (fail) to 4 (pass) in one month, as well as an average 40-60% improvements in ATAR/IB Biology, Psychology, Mandarin and Visual Arts. Achieving very high 7s (out of 7) in all my IAs/essays, I can also assist in writing and editing reports in the subjects I offer : Biology SL/HL, Psychology SL/HL, Visual Arts SL/HL, Mandarin SL/ab initio. With Mandarin, I can assist you in improving your oral, writing, reading. I wrote my EE in mandarin, (32/34) alongside full marks for the final reading(100%) ,writing(100%) and oral examination (30/30) I also received A for TOK, 9/10 for presentation, and 28/30 for the essay. Let me help your struggles, build confidence, gain motivation, and improve results! Zoom group sessions up to 3 people = $45/hr

Han Yi was one of the best tutors I have had over the course of my schooling career. She was always committed to the advancement of my learning, and provided valued guidance and plentiful resources on subjects such as Biology, English, Mandarin and Psychology. I have found that many breakthroughs in my learning, especially for Mandarin, can only be credited to her. Yi was also incredibly punctual and diligent about our tutoring lessons, persevering through sickness to provide the utmost support for me during assessment block. She also provided emotional support and counselling when I was overwhelmed with my workload at my volunteering workplace and school, and I deeply valued her experienced perspective and advice for my situation. Yi values the chance to work with students and gain experience over all, and it was especially reflected in her teaching style, which is alike to seasoned teachers, even though she is currently in college for teaching. Seeing as she was one of the biggest supporters in my IB journey, I can only wish her the very best in all her endeavours from now on. Apologies in advance my my Chinese 韩毅老师, 虽然你常常没空,但是你从来不让别人的看法告诉你如果你可不可以做很多的东西。你已经有很多学生,但是你不告诉我《我不可以教你》。你一直帮我跟我的问题和考试。我只有会说非常感谢你,毅老师。 莎艾玛

Yi has helped me greatly with assisting me to achieve and improve my grades in IB biology SL. Her strong understanding of the subject can be felt through her sessions and the way she communicates/teaches. I was initially sitting on a grade 2 when I first transferred to my biology class as I was behind couple months due to absence for medical reasons. Throughout the process of catching up Yi was extremely patient with my learning and genuinely cared for me as a student. Although personal effort for study was heavily crucial, I am able to confidently say that my final grade of a high 6 was definitely only attainable through Yi’s assistance and compassion for her students.

Yi was a fantastic helper for my biology learning! Since I am not native speaker of English and have many trouble understanding Biology heavy content, she has helped me tremendously with memorizing and understanding by explaining the concepts in super interesting ways that you will never forget! She is not only a good teacher, but also a wonderful friend! She spends time outside lesson times to talk with you and makes the lessons super engaging!

Yi's approach to tutoring is different. she knows the subjects inside out and how to succeed in them. she spent a lot of time and thought preparing each of our lessons and planning how she could help me achieve my goals in a way that suited my learning. not only is she incredibly intelligent and hardworking, she is motivating really went above and beyond for me. safe to say i would have really struggled in year 12 without yi.

Yi can be describe as a perfect tutor. She not only works hard but also manages times well. She deeply knows every assignment and syllabus. She also spends a lot of time in arranging and preparing for classes in advance, and every class is very efficient. She also answers my questions in time and often urges me to study. She found specific learning methods for each person and helped us improve rapidly. Yi's inspiration can bring out my motivation. Under her guidance, I successfully completed what was supposed to be a very difficult last year.

Yi tutored me IB Biology HL for a year and a half with so much passion dedication and commitment. I am not a study person, yet her dedication to me and never giving up on my questions helped me a lot. She provides you with numerous resources, websites, her own notes and her own time in order to help you achieve your best grade. After my process, I am happy with my 6 in Biology and will always recommend her. Every now and then she would help me with my English IO or HL essay by proofreading it, however, she strongly impacted my enlisgh A L&L HL grade two weeks before my final exam as she sat down with me and gave me several tips on how to analyse texts that I didn't know how to answer, her teaching we precisely what I needed and I managed another 6 even though English is not my first language and I hadn't lived in an English speaking country in over 3 years. If you're deciding on a tutor, she is your right answer!
