About Zijing
Hello, my name is Zi and I am from Hungary.
I am an experienced researcher and educator based in University College London. I hold a PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, MSc in Drug Discovery and Development, BSc in Biomedical Sciences, and two other bachelor’s degrees in Business Studies and Physics.
My entire secondary education and higher education was based in the UK and I currently live in London with my lovely wife and our adorable cat! Alongside teaching, I am also an avid amateur chef and nature enthusiast.
My teaching approach is to find and fix any weak points thus having a solid foundation to build upon. The next step is to surpass what is expected by allowing students to gain confidence in what they have learned and be able to apply it so they can rightfully claim that they have mastered that knowledge.
I teach chemistry, biology, and physics anywhere from primary to university level courses. I teach mathematics, history, English language, English literature, and geography up to A-level. I am highly familiar with AQA, OCR, and Edexcel examination and am also able to offer specialised examination courses as well. I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Hungarian and have been a professional translator for both during formal government events.
So whether you are trying to catch up, learn a new topic, or even preparing for a major exam, I am certain that I am the right tutor for you by offering tailored sessions to help you reach your full potential!
In conversation with Zijing
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
My name is Zi and I am originally from Hungary. I completed my entire secondary and higher education in the United Kingdom, and I now live in London with my lovely wife and our adorable cat. I work as a researcher and educator at University College London, and alongside my teaching I am an avid amateur chef and a keen nature enthusiast.
How can you teach so many subjects?
My academic background is quite broad. I hold a doctorate in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, a Master of Science in Drug Discovery and Development and a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences, as well as two further bachelor's degrees in Business Studies and Physics. This means I can teach chemistry, biology and physics at every level from primary school to university, and mathematics, history, English language, English literature and geography up to A-level. I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Hungarian, and I have worked as a professional translator in both languages at formal government events.
How would you describe your teaching approach?
I always begin by finding and fixing any weak points, because students need a solid foundation to build upon. Once that foundation is in place, the goal is to go beyond what is expected. I want students to feel genuinely confident in what they have learned and to be able to apply it, so that they can rightfully say they have mastered that knowledge rather than simply memorised it.
How do you help students prepare for their exams?
I am highly familiar with the AQA, OCR and Edexcel examination boards, so I know exactly what each one expects from students. As well as regular tutoring, I can offer specialised examination courses tailored to a student's board, subject and target grade.
Who are your lessons best suited for?
Anyone who wants to make real progress. Whether you are trying to catch up, learn a new topic from scratch or prepare for a major exam, I offer tailored sessions designed around your needs, to help you reach your full potential.
