Gah-kai

I`m a friendly, knowledgeable, warm and enthusiastic tutor with several years` experience teaching different subjects to an extensive range of ages, from 4 to 18. I`m particularly passionate about encouraging diversity in education, as I`m British born Chinese.

My subject range includes English, French, Politics, Philosophy and Shorthand.

Currently, I`m an PhD student in Political Theory. Before this, I completed my undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics & Economics, during which I spent a year abroad at a French university. I am also a qualified journalist with 100wpm shorthand.

My published undergraduate research came in the top 10% twice in a worldwide essay competition, in two different categories: Literature 1710-Present (2015) and International Relations & Politics (2014).

TESTIMONIALS:
"Gah-Kai is both a truly dedicated scholar and a really nice person [who] helped me to attain a first in a philosophy module [in 2014]. He is a pleasure to be taught by and consequently I cannot recommend him highly enough." (Harry)

"Gah-Kai approached revision classes with the confidence and commitment of an experienced seminar tutor." (Simon)
