Experience / Qualifications

I have experience in Chinese, English, and Mathematics tutoring for over 4 years.
English level: IELTS 8.0/9.0 (I will be a good explainer)
I specialize in tutoring English for international testing systems, such as IELTS and TOFEL. I got a total score of 8 (out of 9) in my first IELTS test. I have helped over 30 students with their IELTS exam studying. I provide consulting services on European university applications for oversea students. I got an offer from Oxford, LSE, and UCL in the UK and UvA in Netherland. I specialize in applications in social science and humanities. My housemate is a PhD student in Oxford and she can provide science consulting if you need it. I have helped over 20 students with their applications, including giving advice on time management, school and programme selection, and Personal Statement, CV, and writing sample.
Math is an important subject and mode of thinking to master. I specialize in tutoring math for school and the SAT, GRE, and GMAT exams. I have been a teaching assistant in math in a high school in China, helping Chinese students with their college entrance exams. I have also had GMAT exam experience myself and got full marks in math. My goal is to explain and teach math in the most understandable and solid way, and also to deal with exams in the smartest way.
Hi, I'm Siqi, a native Chinese grown up in Sichuan and Guangdong. I am a master student studying at the University of Oxford and I have had over 10 foreign students who learned Chinese with me. I love sharing my language and my culture with new friends, and I am good at designing classes for all levels' students. The class will be highly personalised and is for everyone who is interested in learning Chinese for business/study/fun. I love traveling and I believe that we'll be good friends! For my previous students, I love taking them to Chinese restaurants/shops to study Chinese in an immersive environment. If you are interested in that, don't hesitate to sign up :) Looking forward to meeting you online/in person.

Photography Tutorials: Contemporary Image-Making and Experimental Storytelling
This online photography course is designed for anyone looking to build a more thoughtful, intentional approach to image-making. Whether you're starting out or refining your practice, the class focuses on photography as both a technical craft and a form of personal or documentary expression. You'll be encouraged to develop your own visual language through a mix of technical guidance, creative exercises, and reflective assignments. The course is designed to be accessible, supportive, and grounded in curiosity rather than perfectionism. You can work with any camera you have access to, including smartphones. Ideal for artists, students, and anyone interested in using photography to explore the world around them with more clarity and intention. I bring over 10 years photographic experience to the table, with both a BA (HONS) from UAL and MA degree in photography from the Royal College of Art. I am also happy to help with art school applications and crafting artist statements, regardless of artistic medium. I am particularly interested in engaging with people who work with writing and prose in their practice, or who are looking/seeking to incorporate this into their photography projects.

Connect with nature through photography
The camera has long since become my best ally when I go out into nature, and I no longer contemplate going without it. Capturing details, the light of the sunset, the inhabitants of the forest, or the immensity of the night sky is my way of being present and connecting with the environment that surrounds me. After working as a Northern Lights guide and photographer, I have noticed that quite a few people come with their cameras hoping to capture an aurora borealis, but without any prior experience in night photography. This art requires patience, technique and practice, especially when it comes to the Northern Lights where the light is constantly changing. It is because of this experience that I decided to open this service. Whether you are planning a trip, an outing into nature, or simply want to learn how to get the most out of your camera, I will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
