Shiu Fung Aric

Certified Tutor

Hello! I'm Aric Li, and I bring a unique blend of real-world experience, academic knowledge, and linguistic versatility in the fields of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. My journey in this fascinating world of engineering began at the University of Ottawa, where I pursued a Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering, followed by a Master of Science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Fluency in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin has not only broadened my cultural perspective but also enhanced my ability to communicate complex concepts to a diverse audience. This linguistic proficiency was particularly beneficial during my academic tenure, where I was actively involved in peer-to-peer tutoring, helping my classmates from various linguistic backgrounds understand complex engineering concepts. This experience was not just about sharing knowledge, but also about learning to communicate intricate ideas in a manner that was accessible, engaging, and culturally nuanced.

Professionally, I have worked as a Validation Technician at Bright Future Pharmaceutical Lab. Ltd., where my role involved process validation in compliance with GMP standards and preparing documents for regulatory bodies like the Department of Health and the FDA. This experience has given me a profound understanding of pharmaceutical engineering, engineering safety, and the application of engineering principles in real-world scenarios.

I am passionate about teaching subjects that I have a deep understanding ofchemical engineering, biochemical engineering, and pharmaceutical engineering. My approach to teaching is grounded in real-world applications and enriched by my ability to communicate in multiple languages. I believe in simplifying complex concepts and relating them to practical scenarios to make learning more relevant and interesting.

In my sessions, I encourage curiosity and critical thinking, ensuring that students not only learn the theoretical aspects but also understand their practical implications. I am particularly adept at working with young adults, especially university students, as I can relate to their academic challenges and aspirations. My multilingual skills allow me to bridge cultural gaps and foster a more inclusive learning environment.

My goal as a tutor is not just to impart knowledge, but to inspire a lasting interest in the subjects I teach and to facilitate a learning experience that is as linguistically inclusive as it is academically rigorous. Whether you are struggling with specific concepts or looking to deepen your understanding, I am here to guide you on this journey of learning and discovery.
