Stellar Subjects Details

English Language and Literature and English as a Second Language
I teach UKISET, 11+, 13+ Common Entrance and Independent School Entry examinations, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning tests, NAPLAN, IGCSE, A-Level, IB, HKDSE, SAT and IELTS
In the first lesson I find out what the student enjoys reading and their level of comprehension so I can provide interesting lessons where they will gain more vocabulary and learn how to analyse a text. I can also help them develop their creative writing through prompts and models.
For older students we focus on essay techniques and literary techniques, including how to analyse language and structure in texts. For those students preparing for IELTS we cover all areas of the examination looking at past papers and best practice.

History
I teach 13+ Common Entrance, Independent Schools Entry exams, KS2-3) school tests and exams (years 7-9), IGCSE, A-Level, IB, AP and SAT.
I am very passionate about History, so much so that I studied it for my degree. I can cover any time period and place with your child and teach any level. Whether your child needs aid with understanding the past or writing about it, I am here to help.
I believe History is interesting and exciting and that lessons should reflect this belief. I use a whole range of materials and media to bring the past to life and help your child develop an interest in my favourite subject.

Interview Practice
Stellar Studies offers interview practice for international schools and UK schools.
I have extensive experience in preparing students for interviews, focusing on building up their confidence and interpersonal skills so they can show their best selves to the interviewer.
Students I have prepared have reported that they felt much more comfortable and confident when they had their actual interview.

Religious Studies
As a former Sunday School teacher at St Andrews Church (Tsim Sha Tsui) for Pathfinders (ages 11-12) and having taught Theology, Ethics and Religious Studies for 13+ Entrance Examinations, I am well equipped to help your child with the basic foundation for embarking on Religious Studies at secondary school. We cover the key stories of the Old Testament, the miracles of Jesus and how Christianity relates to contemporary ethical issues. We also look at other religions and their beliefs and festivals, learning how they worship and their beliefs on modern issues.
