Computer Science & Finance Tutor

Yuesheng H.

I have an academic background in both Computer Science (Candidate of Master's Degree) and Finance and Accounting (Bachelor's Degree), with coursework covering object-oriented programming, data structures, database management, equity valuation, financial accounting, and data analysis. I also passed CFA Level I exam back in February 2022.

I have experience leading study groups and informally tutoring peers, particularly in financial accounting and finance. In addition, I provided one-on-one math tutoring during high school. The students I worked with consistently improved their understanding and performed well on their future academic performance, and many found my explanations clearer and easier to follow. Although leading study groups was not a formal tutoring role, it involved helping students understand the big picture of what we learnt, and how each component fits into the whole picture. This experience provided valuable teaching practice in both group and individual settings.

Through these experiences, I observed that many students rely heavily on memorization rather than understanding underlying concepts. My teaching approach focuses on addressing this by first presenting the overall structure of a topic before breaking it down into detailed components. I encourage students to ask why behind each concept or method, rather than trying to memorize everything. This approach helps students build a deeper understanding, improve retention, and apply concepts more effectively in new problems.
