教学理念
我具有牛津大学历史学士学位与博士学位，威斯敏斯特商学院金融硕士学位，曾在首都师范大学学习汉语。我做过经济史研究生的工作，也是中国文学的一名出版翻译。教授人文学科范围包括世界史和美国历史，古典文明，文学和经济学。希望可以通过我对每个科目广泛的观点与视角来丰富我自身的教学经验以此来带给学生更多的东西。
我的教学方法是模拟在牛津大学和剑桥大学所使用的一对一导师制。鼓励学生提前彻底为每节课做准备。
上课时期望学生可以提出自己的看法或者观点，被动地接受信息是不够的，我们学习的目标是要掌握它，并应用自如。例如，在历史上，我要求学生学习地图，了解历史和地理的关系，并创造性地思考历史事件的前因后果。同样在经济学课上，鼓励学生利用经济理论来解释他们周围的世界。
对于非母语学生而言，人文学科往往是挑战性也是最有益的课程。不仅是因为课程本身，更是对于他们创造力和想象力思维以及问题解决能力的提高，而这些有时正是中国教育体制的弱点。当看到我的学生获得信心去了解和学习人文学科时，我会心生一种满足感，因为这将极大地拓宽他们自己的世界观和了解，使他们能更好地在更广阔的世界取得成功。
I
majored in History and Economics at Oxford University and later I did
postgraduate work in Economic History. I am also a published translator
of Chinese literature. I am a specialist in teaching humanities subjects
from World and U.S. History to Classical Civilisations, Literature and
Economics. I hope that the breadth of perspectives I can bring to each
subject enriches the teaching experience for my students. I have
experience of teaching many syllabuses including AP and SAT History and
Economics, as well as British courses such as GSCE and A Level.
My
teaching approach is modelled on the one-to-one tutorial system used at
Oxford and Cambridge. My students are encouraged to prepare thoroughly
for each class and during class are expected to apply concepts and offer
opinions. It is not enough to passively receive information, because
the goal is to master it and apply it confidently. For example, in
History, I require students to study maps to understand the relationship
between history and geography, and to think creatively about the
reasons for historical events and their consequences. Similarly in
Economics, my students are encouraged to apply economic theory to
interpret and explain the world around them.
Humanities subjects
are often among the most challenging to approach through a non-native
language but yet they can be the most rewarding. This is not only for
their subject matter, but for the skills they teach such as creative and
imaginative thinking and problems solving, which are sometimes seen to
be weaknesses of the Chinese education system. It is hugely satisfying
to see my students gaining the confidence to engage with humanities
subjects which will greatly broaden their world view and understanding
and equip them better to succeed in the wider world.
