He first travelled to China in 2016, visiting Chengdu, Chongqing and Beijing as part of an immersive language exchange programme.

Prior to Cambridge, he achieved the highest mark in the country in Mandarin Chinese Pre-U in 2019. He has also co-founded a China-oriented journal; served on the committee of a China-focused speaker’s society; and written a regular column on the intricacies of Taiwan’s food culture. Academics aside, he has an avid interest in Chinese literature, history, food and football (“soccer”), all of which he would be delighted to talk about at length over a plate of fish-fragrant aubergine, a bowl of sesame-sauce noodles, or a game of mah-jong!

Harriet
English Tutor
Harriet is a recent graduate of the University of Cambridge and is now a masters student in London. As the daughter of a musician and a dancer, she found beauty and musicality in languages from an early age, which motivated her study of Mandarin and Ancient Greek in secondary school. In 2018, she came second place in the HSBC/British Council Mandarin Speaking Competition. She then pursued a degree in Chinese Studies in Cambridge, where she developed a high-level proficiency in Mandarin, a deep understanding of literature, history and culture, and a sensitivity to the process of language acquisition. During this time, Harriet worked as an online and in-person English tutor and dance teacher. Following her degree, she lived in Taipei for ten months where she taught English to children aged four to thirteen. She also worked as a singer for audiences of children and their families. Her work in Taiwan gave her valuable insight into how children learn and respond to different teaching methods, and how to break down phonics, grammar and syntax in the most effective way. Harriet is now an experienced tutor who is eager to help students of all ages and abilities on their own language-learning journey.

Olivia
English Teacher
Olivia is a writer and English teacher living in London. Last summer she graduated with a first-class degree in Law from the University of Oxford (winning faculty prizes for best dissertation in her cohort, and top performance in Moral and Political Philosophy). Since then, alongside tutoring, she has been working for Daunt Books, based mostly in their Notting Hill branch. In addition to general bookselling responsibilities, she has programmed and hosted author talks (which has required liaising with agents and publishers), and run the shop's 'subscription service' (selecting books for customers of all ages based on their self-described tastes). Over the past few years she has worked at a literary festival, as an editor, and interned at two publishing houses. She is also an alumnus of Curtis Brown Creative's 'Writing Your Novel' course.
Olivia has tutored English to children of all ages in different capacities for a number of years: creative writing, reading comprehension, and essay-writing; focusing on general improvement or improving exam performance (11+, 13+, GCSE, and Scottish National 5 and Higher in particular); as a second language and to native speakers. She is happy to offer tuition online or in-person in London.
Through her work over the past few years Olivia's engagement with literature has been multi-faceted, and this is something she loves passing on to her students. She always tries to go far beyond exam syllabuses, using texts from all sorts of places, encouraging students to speak up, develop strong opinions, and see daily life as a source of inspiration (both for their own writing, and for unpicking the writing of others, which she approaches as a creative act in its own right).
