Introduction of teaching team

Academic BackgroundGraduated from Imperial College London, with a bachelor's and master's degree in medicinal chemistry. A*A*A*A* in high school mathematics, advanced mathematics, chemistry and biology. Gold medal in intermediate biology, British Biology Olympiad, gold medal in chemistry UKCHO
, Cambridge Chemistry Competition (C3L6) Gold Medal, Top Ten in the UK SMC team competition, with extensive competition experience.

【Teaching Background】With two years of 1-on-1 teaching experience, he carefully coached students to prepare for interviews and competitions. The students he coached have significantly improved their grades and have been admitted to the world-renowned Imperial College, or won gold medals in biology competitions. His superb skills and profound foundation in guiding biology competitions have paved a solid foundation for students' academic advancement.

【Teaching style】He is lively and approachable. He has different teaching methods for students of different levels. He can use simple examples to help students understand concepts. He is good at targeting students' situations to help them get the most points. For students with higher levels, he will provide deeper knowledge extension based on the syllabus.

Academic BackgroundGraduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a major in molecular biology and data science. His junior high school entrance exam score was 750/760, ranking in the top 100 in the city. He transferred to UWC Changshu in his second year of high school. IB courses: Biology + Chemistry + Mathematics AI (HL), Geography, English A, Chinese A SL, and the final IB score was 40/42. During the application season, he was admitted to the Imperial College of Science and Technology's double major in biological sciences + biomedicine, and was admitted to several top 20 liberal arts colleges in the United States with a million-dollar scholarship. Won the global silver medal in BBO + USABO (British and American Olympiad Biology Competition)

【Teaching Background】I have accumulated rich experience in teaching practice by coaching many students in biochemistry competitions, IB IA, and TOK. I provide students with targeted guidance and help to help them achieve good results in biology competitions and subject learning.

【Teaching style】The teaching style is unique. In the teaching process, he is good at using his rich knowledge reserves and diverse learning experiences to present complex and abstract biological knowledge to students in a vivid and easy-to-understand way, which is convenient for students to understand and absorb.

Academic BackgroundGraduated from Imperial College London, UK, in Biological Sciences, conducted research on the mechanism of exercise promoting brain health, published 2 paper abstracts, and his research direction is cognitive neuroscience. Won the USABO Silver Award, BBO Bronze Award, Brainbee First Prize, IMMC Special Finalist Award, and HOSA Behavioral Health Project Gold Award. With a comprehensive and solid knowledge reserve of biological subjects, excellent competition coping ability and flexible knowledge application skills, he has mastered biological subject knowledge to a very high level and can stand out in different competition scenarios.

【Teaching Background】Being familiar with the knowledge system and teaching characteristics of competitions such as BBO and Brainbee can better guide students to have an in-depth understanding of neurobiology-related knowledge during the teaching process, cultivate students' thinking ability and competition skills in this field, and help students achieve excellent results in related competitions.

【Teaching style】He is passionate about teaching life sciences and other subjects. Combining his rich experience in competitions and scientific research, he focuses on the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical applications in teaching. By introducing scientific research cases, real competition questions, etc., he helps students better understand the practicality and fun of biological knowledge, cultivates students' practical ability and innovative thinking, enables students to not only master the basic knowledge of biology, but also learn to use knowledge to solve practical problems, and enhances students' comprehensive competitiveness in biology learning and related competitions.
