Mandarin Tutors: 1-1 Mandarin Preparation

I’m a passionate tutor with experience in a wide range of subjects. I am outgoing and enjoy helping students develop confidence and clarity in their learning.

I tailor my lessons to each student’s level, pace, and goals, making sure they not only understand the material but also enjoy the process. Whether you’re preparing for exams, building foundational skills, or simply want to improve, I’m here to support and guide you. Rather than simply providing answers, I guide students to discover them through carefully chosen examples, thought experiments, and counterexamples. I pay close attention to each student’s strengths and areas for improvement, adapting my approach accordingly—whether that means breaking down complex arguments into manageable parts or pushing advanced students to explore beyond the syllabus. I also stress the importance of revision, feedback, and intellectual humility. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, and I aim to foster confidence through mastery rather than shortcuts. Ultimately, my goal is to cultivate both independent thinking and disciplined analysis, so that students leave not just knowing more, but reasoning better.

Feel free to reach out—I look forward to learning together!

Hello! My name is Joyous, and I am passionate about helping students unlock their full potential through structured learning and encouragement. I am currently pursuing my MBA at the University of Oxford and previously completed the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants qualification as the youngest graduate in Southeast Asia. Alongside my professional career in finance and strategy, I have over eight years of experience teaching and mentoring students in both academic subjects and personal development. I also teach Business at an Oxford summer school, where I work with international students to develop their academic skills, critical thinking, and confidence. My approach combines subject knowledge with practical study strategies, ensuring students not only master content but also build confidence and independence in learning. Whether you are preparing for school exams, improving Mandarin, or developing strong foundations in business, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Passionate professional with mathematical finance and everything utilising mathematics. I hold a CQF with Distinction, an MSc in Economics from LSE, and currently work in applied financial engineering advisory, where I benchmark and validate exotic derivatives pricing models daily — from Bermudan options and callable bonds to inflation-linked swaps and Monte Carlo simulations.
My work sits at the intersection of quantitative theory and real-world application: building independent pricing models, calibrating volatility surfaces, computing CVA/DVA adjustments, and stress-testing credit risk frameworks. I also code actively in Python, C++, and VBA, and pursue personal research in stochastic expansion methods for exotic option pricing.
In my courses, I bring this practitioner perspective directly into the classroom. If you want to understand not just the textbook formulas but how derivatives are actually priced, validated and risk-managed in industry, you’re in the right place.
