It's all about FRANCIS!

Aren't we proud having Francis as our tutor! I am! =)


Most of the students said that their success would not have been possible if not for the guidance and help from the lecturers, especially accounting lecturer Mr Francis Dunn-Yu, who must be especially proud that 16 of his students scored a perfect score in their accounting papers.

Two of Francis Dunn-Yu’s students, Mr Hock Wai Hon, 17, and Mr Aaron Hee, 19, both agree that Francis is an excellent teacher. They both scored perfect scores for accounting.

“He’s a funny guy, direct to the point and he does not waste time. He has an effective teaching method, and summarizes everything up succinctly,” says Wai Hon, who will be studying Economics at the LSE.

“He also interacts well with the students, and gives us examples in class that relate to life,” agrees Aaron, who will be pursuing his undergraduate degree in Accounting and Finance at the University of Warwick.

At a recent interview, Francis Dunn-Yu spoke about the utmost importance to be able to connect well with the students, and the ability to be relevant to them. “A good teacher needs to know where the students are in terms of the curriculum, their background, and their grasp of the knowledge of the topic. It is only then you are able to help them out individually,” he says. “You need to teach with love as well, if the students see that you teach with love, they will be attracted to you. You need to come down to their level.”

“It’s also important to start preparing the students for the exams early, and to shape them as soon as possible. I do this by throwing them into the deep ocean, and let them face the reality, which in this case, the actual exam questions,” Dunn-Yu says. “They need to be exposed to exam questions early, so they will have time to adjust.”
