About Dorothy

Hi! I’m Dorothy — a passionate and approachable tutor with a background in actuarial science and a love for teaching. Whether you're aiming for a high score on the IELTS, tackling SOA exams like P and FM, learning Mandarin Chinese, or just trying to keep up with school math, I’m here to support you every step of the way. What I teach: Mandarin Chinese (all levels – focus on conversation, pronunciation, and writing) IELTS Preparation (academic & general – personalized strategies for speaking, writing, listening, and reading) SOA Exams P & FM (with real examples, formulas explained clearly, and exam strategies) Math tutoring for elementary and high school students (foundation building, problem solving, and test prep) My approach: I believe that learning should feel clear, encouraging, and even fun. I tailor each lesson to fit your goals, your pace, and your learning style. I combine structure with flexibility — whether you need grammar drills, past paper reviews, or just someone to explain tough concepts in plain English (or Mandarin!), I’m here to help. What students say about me: They appreciate my patience, clear explanations, and positive energy. I always strive to make sure my students feel supported and confident in their progress. Whether you're preparing for an important exam, learning a new language, or building stronger math skills, I'm excited to help you grow!

My Approach as a Tutor

As a tutor with a strong foundation in actuarial science, data analysis, and economics, I bring both structure and clarity to complex topics. I focus on building a strong conceptual base before moving into application, empowering students to think critically and solve problems independently.

Teaching Methodology and Techniques

My methodology combines:

Scaffolded learning – building from fundamentals (e.g., time value of money) to advanced topics (e.g., survival models, pricing).

Interactive problem-solving – using real-world actuarial and insurance datasets in Excel and R to demonstrate theory in action.

Customized pacing – identifying each student’s strengths and tailoring support where they need it most.

Visual learning – simplifying abstract math through diagrams, financial timelines, and flowcharts.

A Typical Lesson Plan

Review (5 min) – Recap prior material with quick Q&A.

Concept Introduction (15–20 min) – Clear breakdown of new theory with intuitive examples.

Hands-on Application (20–30 min) – Practice exercises or mini-projects, often using Excel or R.

Wrap-Up & Next Steps (5–10 min) – Highlight key takeaways, assign optional practice problems, and preview next topic.

What Sets Me Apart

Actuarial Industry Experience: I bring insights from internships at Huatai, AXA, and Nielsen to show students how theory meets practice in insurance, finance, and data science.

Multilingual and Culturally Aware: I work effectively with international students and can explain concepts in both English and Mandarin when needed.

Strong Communication Skills: With experience delivering reports and presentations to clients and stakeholders, I simplify complex ideas without oversimplifying.
