Mr. Lyn

English SAT/ACT, AP US/World/Gov/Lit/Lang, Writing, and TEFL Tutor

Hello! My name is Mr. Lyn. I have a Master's Degree in International Affairs from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and have taught a variety of humanities subjects at all levels. These include the English SAT/ACT, all humanities AP courses, analytical and argumentative writing, and English as a second language. My experience ranges from teaching reading and writing at UCSD at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as tutoring children of all ages. I also scored in the GRE’s top 1% for verbal reasoning and analytical writing in preparation for my graduate program. I have a comprehensive understanding of what makes a high-quality argumentative essay and can help students with the entire writing process, from forming a thesis claim to selecting evidence and writing counter-arguments. My degree specializations are in international economics and US-China relations. I am an expert in a range of political and economic topics, including government, international relations, and trade. I have taught students of all backgrounds, but I have especially taught many Chinese students over the years, both in the US and in China. I studied Mandarin during my master’s program and am confident that I can provide excellent support to Chinese students. I look forward to working with you.
