HELLO! I'M CARIS LIEW
I’m passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals! With 15 years of experience teaching the IGCSE and A levels Economics curriculum, and as a Cambridge Examiner, I have a deep understanding of the syllabus and evaluation standards. Through ExamPassport, I'm committed to providing my students with the best teaching, tools for independent learning, and ongoing support to help them reach their highest potential.
In my teaching career, my greatest achievement has been seeing my students excel beyond expectations. Notably, 53% of my students have achieved an A* grade, and 93% have received an A grade or higher. These results reflect my dedication to fostering a supportive and effective learning environment that empowers students to succeed.
Join me on this educational journey, and let's work together to achieve excellence in Economics!
I have observed that many students, despite being well-prepared academically, struggle with significant mental pressure, self-blame, and challenges in managing their parents’ expectations during exams. Through InnerLight, I aim to support these students by utilising natural therapies and essential oils, emphasising the importance of emotional stability and well-being over academic performance. This approach will help them build the confidence needed to overcome various challenges in life.
As an educator, my vision extends beyond helping students achieve academic success in exams; I am committed to nurturing their emotional intelligence, ensuring they are future-ready. By fostering skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication, I aim to equip students not only to excel in their studies but also to thrive in a world where emotional intelligence is increasingly vital for personal and professional success.
