Yui Sum (Summi)

An idea of what kind of teacher I am:
My friends and teachers describe me as a compassionate, patient, understanding, kind person, and a good listener
I aim to tailor my teaching approach to your individual ways of understanding
I prefer to use modelling, examples, metaphors, and a step-wise approach to explaining concepts + application to the real-world to enrich conceptual understanding, instead of memorisation
Relaxed and patient approach to learning & guidance - I do not condone pressure-driven teaching as the IB is stressful enough
Conversational-style to learning psychological concepts – Talk through concepts for deep understanding
I personally have a lot of appreciation for these fields and I hope to share my passion with you!

It’s totally okay to feel unsure of where to start (I was there once) – Let’s look at your work according to the criteria and start building goals from there :)

An idea of what our lessons could be like:
Psychology:
- Going over concepts you would like to understand better at your pace
- Practising and structuring SAQs and ERQs together to develop good exam technique
- Building evaluation and critical thinking skills by practicing Paper 3s
- Personal assistance and proof-reading for internal assessments/coursework according to your goals
- A range of IB Resources for additional learning and course material
- Revision tips and tricks – Optimise your notes AND your method of learning!

English:
- Same as above, with particular focus on building analytic vocabulary and practicing past-papers

Music:
- Same as above for coursework and resources
- Grade 1-5 Music Theory guidance (including ABRSM) for analysis and conceptual understanding
