My name is Long Him, and I am an 18-year-old Y13 student studying at the German Swiss International School (GSIS). I live in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, and I offer tuition for mathematics (including further mathematics), physics, chemistry, and German for IB level and below. Additionally, I provide Oxbridge interview preparation for mathematics, engineering, or physics. While I unfortunately did not receive an offer to study mathematics at Cambridge, I can certainly give aspiring Oxbridge applicants an idea of what to expect during an Oxbridge interview.

Moreover, I am available to offer feedback on UK university applications (UCAS), provide university counseling, and assist with TOK essays for IB students. I will be attending UCL to study mathematics and mathematical physics (applied mathematics).

My academic qualifications include IB predicted grades of 44/45 points, with HL physics, chemistry, and mathematics scores of 777, and SL English literature, German, and Economics scores of 776. Additionally, I achieved 9 A* grades in IGCSE, including mathematics (standard and further pure), physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, music, German, and Chinese Sprachdiplom. I also possess the DSD2 C1 qualification, which certifies my German language proficiency at a native speaker level.

I have received offers from several universities, including UCL (mathematics), the University of Warwick (mathematics and physics), the University of Manchester (mathematics and physics and astrophysics) on a full scholarship, HKUST (mathematics) on a full scholarship, and the University of British Columbia (mathematics) on a full scholarship.

Furthermore, I participated in the South-East Asian Mathematics Competition (SEAMC) last year and placed in the top 30 worldwide. This competition included students from across Asia and the United Kingdom.

Given that IB exams have been canceled, I am more than happy to arrange my schedule to accommodate the best time for everyone. Preferably, I would conduct online lessons due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Read less

For exam preparation, I will be trying to clarify concepts and review past papers. For younger students, I can assist with homework tasks, but my main focus will be on clarifying concepts. In German, I can teach vocabulary and grammar. In university counselling, I offer advice on which universities to apply to in the UK and US for all subjects, assistance with UK application writing, and conduct mock Oxbridge interviews to simulate the real experience I personally had.
