About Fan
Hello! My name is Fan — meaning “down-to-earth” in Chinese, which also reflects how I try to approach both teaching and everyday life.
Although I’m 30, I’m still technically a “fresh graduate,” having recently completed my PhD in English Literature. My research focused on environmental ethics, experimental poetry, and postcolonial writing.
As you can probably imagine, spending the Covid years studying poetry could feel quite isolating at times! Now that I’ve finished my degree, I’d love to meet more people, share what I’ve learned, and do something that has a more direct and meaningful impact on others. For me, tutoring is a wonderful way to do that.

I first started teaching in high school, when I volunteered with a non-profit organisation in Shanghai, teaching English to children from migrant worker families. It was there that I first discovered how much I enjoyed teaching, and I began designing lessons and creating my own materials around my students’ needs.
While studying at university in the UK, I also worked as a freelance tutor, teaching Mandarin to young children from scratch.
During my PhD, I completed formal tutor training and led small-group tutorials for undergraduate students, guiding them through the reading, discussion, and analysis of literary texts.
These experiences have given me the chance to work with students of different ages and backgrounds. What I enjoy most about teaching is the exchange of ideas—thinking through questions together, solving problems, and learning from one another.
