Hi! I'm Soon Wei, and I'd like to offer online tutoring for Olympiad maths, chess, Physics and Chemistry.

I have been offering private tutoring for a few months to date. My student ranges from 7-year-olds to university undergraduates, with the majority being secondary school students. I am also fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and I am familiar with using multiple languages to the advantage in class deliveries. I am also adept in teaching for different syllabi, including the IGCSE, IB, AP, A-Levels, VCE syllabus just to name a few. In my teaching, I strive to use my creativity in classes by showing students the possible different approaches to a single problem or technique, so that the student may understand it in a unique way they are comfortable with. This has proven successful to me when dealing with students with diverse backgrounds and learning capabilities.

As for my background, I have an excellent academic record, including a first-class honours CGPA at The University of Hong Kong under the Quantitative Finance major, as well as a first-class at The University of Melbourne under Actuarial Science, both being a grateful recipient of a great scholarship. I have also completed my pre-university studies with a 4A* grade under the Edexcel A-Levels for the subjects Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry.

As for my extra-curricular certificates, I have been training my Olympiad mathematics and chess skills for over a decade and was privileged to win several international awards as a country representative, such as the Hong Kong International Chess Open, Commonwealth Chess Championship, Australian Mathematical Competition and more. I also have basic competence in computer programming, with one of my highlights being the National Finalist for the International Blockchain Olympiad.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and have taught for many years. I have loved reading since I read my first chapter book at age seven, so I enjoy teaching book studies. I have always had a passion for science. I love rocks and minerals, plants and herbs, and in general most sciences. I believe children, like myself as interested in the mysterious and the strange. Learning is an adventure. My mission is to make learning fun.

Some of my online courses include book studies for kids from 8 to 15 years; STEM and STEAM classes; preschool classes including phonics, pre-math, pre-language, and story times. I have a very popular series of classes on rocks, minerals, and crystals for ages 8-13. I also teach geography classes. My years as an elementary and as a preschool teacher have prepared me to teach these subjects effectively to a wide range of ages. I taught my first online class in 2004!

I enjoy teaching classes that highlight my own hobbies and interests such as gluten-free cooking, and the mysterious and strange things in life. I can provide a listing of classes I have developed upon request.
I am a passionate teacher with more than forty years of experience teaching preschoolers to adults. I have taught in home-school, preschools, private preschools, and public preschools. I have trained teachers as an adjunct instructor at a community college, and have taught grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 in public and private schools. I've spent a large part of my career simultaneously holding workshops, and training and mentoring childcare professionals while teaching kids full time. More than 100 childcare professionals have earned a CDA credential under my tutelage. Many more have completed their associates degree in Early Childhood Education.

While my professional experience is extensive, the heart of my passion is kids. I love playing with children to help them learn. Every child has his or her own learning style and as a teacher, I strive to find how best to help children create their own learning.

Is your teenager spending a lot of hours in front of the computer/on their phone? Do you seem to have more arguments than conversations with your teen?
You are not alone!
Teens are overwhelmed by all the stimulus from the internet and rely heavily on LIKES from social media to make them feel like they matter. A slippery slope when our future leaders give away their power to external sources to make them feel better. Your teen is incredibly capable and resourceful BUT they will have to learn emotional intelligence to become confident in their own abilities.
When I was 14 years old I was given a monthly bus pass to get school. I had taken the bus a couple of times yet always felt nervousness around possibly missing the bus. One day approaching the bus stop I noticed the bus was early! Feeling frantic, I stared to run...the bus left without me!!! I hated feeling so dependant on the bus. Deciding to walk to school I was surprised to realize had I arrived before the bus!
What a feeling of empowerment. Not only did I get to school by myself, I was also on time!
That night I proudly shared what had happened with my dad and asked him if I could have the bus money and walk to school instead. My confidence grew AND I was able to buy my favourite pair of shoes!
That day my feelings taught me how important it was to be autonomous. I learned that taking action felt way more empowering than blaming the bus driver for being early.
If you would like your teens to take guidance from their emotions to become empowered, responsible adults then I highly recommend this series of classes. Register today!

Hello and Welcome! I am an author, teacher, speaker and life coach who teaches people of all ages communication skills. My expertise is in emotional development and expression. As children we are not taught about emotions, empathy nor how to listen. We grow up without intelligence emotionally often reaching out to professional psychologists with life problems to solve when we are adults. My courses teach the normalcy of emotions with educating students what they are, how we experience them and how to communicate. This core process translates to increased imagination and creativity. We are all artists and writers and have creativity inside of us. This does not threaten the left brain rationalism our educational systems are structured around, it actually compliments it. There is a cutting edge advantage to social skills and creativity entering into the 21st century as our jobs will be increasingly automated with artificial intelligence. I bring my experience with children and teens where I did artwork, and played all kinds of games with them as we talked about emotions, problems and solutions. With the teens, I would shoot hoops outside with basketball, write and play card games. With the younger children, I would play board games and draw. What mattered was helping them express themselves. Parents would learn to trust my process, as when the kid would identify the parent as the 'monster' in the drawing, I would understand their communication. Sometimes as adults we can be scary to kids with our emotions and they do not understand the normalcy of anger and fear. I help kids of all ages understand we all experience anger, fear, sadness, joy, confusion, disgust and more as part of life. There is nothing wrong with us. By tapping into our inward thoughts and emotions, I help students express themselves more freely with increased confidence and self esteem. This model of PERMA from Positive Psychology has been practiced with school children in Australia with Dr. Martin Seligman, and they saw their overall achievement scores improve just because they focused on well-being and emotional expression. It is nice to meet you!

I love teaching! I especially love teaching young children. The awe and wonder that young children have about the world around them is boundless – and as a National Board certified early childhood educator of many years, my goal is to encourage the growth of that natural curiosity and love for learning.

My passion in education is centered on social-emotional learning – that is, facilitating the development of an understanding among young children of the skills and dispositions that people need to become well-adjusted, empathetic and responsible members of a community. Skills such as breathing, identifying emotions, using positive self-talk, developing a growth mindset, using empathy and taking responsibility for one’s actions are all lessons that I have found are important in the development of children’s social and emotional well-being.

The manner in which we foster the development of our children will create the conditions for a more just and peaceful future for us all – and helping our children become emotionally intelligent, compassionate and socially attuned individuals who understand that we’re all one community is, I believe, the key.
