Beijing, China
Economics teacher with 16+ years’ experience in China, specialising in Cambridge A-Level (9708), IGCSE (0455), and AP Microeconomics & Macroeconomics for students aged 15–18. I design syllabus-aligned schemes of work, integrate real-world case studies and clear graphical analysis, and use diagnostics and QLA to target misconceptions and lift exam performance. My teaching emphasises exam literacy, structured writing (PEEL), and predictable routines that support EAL learners. I have taught across international and bilingual settings and on intensive university-preparatory pathways linked to the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE), with students progressing to selective programmes and strong first-year outcomes. Key strengths include curriculum mapping, assessment design and moderation, data-driven feedback, and mentoring colleagues within Cambridge A-Level departments.
