典型INFJ文靜港男：三個月圓夢 PolyU 言語治療碩士

學生簡介及成果摘要 Student Summary

學生姓名： Jonathan W.
補習內容： IELTS 全科備考、Personal Statement 指導及面試準備
成果： 成功獲得香港理工大學言語治療碩士（MSc Speech Therapy）取錄

Jonathan W. 最初以 IELTS 6.5 分的成績聯絡我，目標是提升至各卷 7 分或以上，以符合碩士課程的入學要求。在三個月內，我們同步進行 IELTS 寫作及閱讀強化訓練，以及 Personal Statement 指導和面試準備。最終，Jonathan 成功獲得香港理工大學言語治療碩士取錄，比預期提早三個月放下心頭大石，向前邁進。

言語治療師在香港是受政府規管的專業醫療職系，公營機構起薪點約為每月 HK$30,000 至 HK$40,000 或以上，職業前景穩定理想。對 Jonathan W. 而言，這不只是一個學位，而是他堅持了五年的夢想。

Jonathan first contacted me with an IELTS overall score of 6.5, aiming to achieve Band 7 or above in all sections to meet his master’s programme requirements. Within three months, we worked simultaneously on IELTS writing and reading, Personal Statement development, and interview preparation. Jonathan successfully secured a place in the MSc Speech Therapy programme at Hong Kong Polytechnic University — putting his mind at ease three months ahead of schedule.

Speech Therapy is a regulated allied health profession in Hong Kong, with public sector starting salaries of approximately HK$30,000 to HK$40,000 or above per month and strong career prospects. For Jonathan, this was more than a degree. It was a dream five years in the making.

5年圓夢了！無你都唔會咁順利，可以提早放下心頭大石

諗返成件事都好奇妙，但如果無你都唔會咁順利，可以提早三個月「放下心頭大石」繼續向前！

不過講真，無你幫手personal statement 同預備面試，過程都唔會咁順利，真的萬分感謝！

圓夢了。五年。

Looking back, it all feels remarkable. Without you, none of this would have gone so smoothly. I was able to put my mind at ease three months ahead of schedule and move forward. Honestly, without your help with the Personal Statement and interview preparation, the process would not have been nearly as smooth. I am truly grateful beyond words. A dream fulfilled. Five years.

一、如何選擇私人英文老師 How He Chose a Private English Tutor

揀私人英文老師最緊要係一針見血，改善到自己一直困擾自己英文既問題。之前試過幾位大型補習社老師，教法相對上大包圍，可能佢地為左切合唔同人既情況，但如果對於一啲長時間未能突破樽頸位同學黎講，幫助唔算好大。

揀Polly主要有兩個原因。首先，佢IG入面，見到有好多學生真實進步個案，呢點令我對Polly教學有信心。第二就係佢係英國頂尖學府——牛津大學，修讀應用語言學碩士，專科專教，實力無容置疑。第三，課堂內容可以度身定制，彈性較大。如果覺得自己邊份份卷比較弱既話，可以按個人需要同Polly調節。

The most important thing when choosing a private English tutor is finding someone who can directly address the specific problems holding you back. I had previously tried teachers at large tutoring centres, but their approach tended to be broad and general — not particularly helpful for students who had been stuck at a plateau for a long time.

There were two main reasons I chose Polly. First, her Instagram showed many genuine student success stories, which gave me confidence in her teaching. Second, she holds an MSc in Applied Linguistics from Oxford — one of the world’s top universities — so her expertise is beyond question. Third, lessons can be fully customised. If you know which paper or skill is your weakest, you can adjust the focus with Polly accordingly.

二、學習英文最困難的地方 The Biggest Challenges in Learning English

雅思黎講，寫作都係容易覺得吃力既分卷，因為官方評分準則講求切題、有準確生字句構、段與段、句與句之間連貫性等，係短短一小時就係需要處理好上述情況，實在唔容易。之前嘗試睇好多唔同網上範文，但其實往往缺乏權威及客觀評分，容易學錯方法，所以到最後睇極都好難有進步。

唔需擔心，Polly會手把手教你點寫一個好既段落，細至用字、大至段落連貫所有都會有所涉獵，你會好清楚寫一個高分既段落的必備元素。

閱讀卷黎講，相對比較容易進步既分卷。因為Polly教你點篩選問題關鍵字眼，然後從文章裡面揾到答案，達到「快、狠、準」三重境界。

In IELTS, writing is the most demanding paper. The official marking criteria require relevance, accurate vocabulary and sentence structure, and coherence between and within paragraphs — all within one hour. I had tried studying many sample essays online, but they often lacked authoritative or objective assessment, making it easy to pick up bad habits. Progress was difficult.

With Polly, there is no need to worry. She guides you step by step through writing a strong paragraph — from word choice at the micro level to paragraph coherence at the macro level. You will have a clear understanding of every element needed to write a high-scoring paragraph.

Reading, by contrast, is a more achievable paper to improve. Polly teaches you how to identify key words in each question, then locate the answer efficiently within the passage — achieving what she calls the three essentials: fast, precise, and accurate.

三、與大型補習社的分別 The Difference from Large Tutoring Centres

以雅思寫作TASK 2 為例，第一堂好記得不斷強調「主題生字」重要性，而主題生字需要慢慢切成一句句子，最後變成一個段落。

如果以出面大型補習社黎講，通常寫作都係慢慢拆一篇範文，而範文入面學到既野，最後考試用唔用得返出黎呢點就比較存疑。

所以我都聽Polly話，每星期都會完成10 day challenge，寫一篇文章個開頭／主體段，等自己可以熟習唔同寫作題型外，同時又可以訓練到自己寫作邏輯同思考方式。補左大概2-3月後，開始見到成效，跟住Polly比寫作框架基本上出到黎都唔會太差。

In IELTS Writing Task 2, I remember Polly emphasising from the very first lesson the importance of thematic vocabulary. Then I start to learn to build from vocabulary words into sentences, and from sentences into full paragraphs.

At large tutoring centres, writing is typically taught by analysing sample essays, but whether students can actually apply what they learn under exam conditions is questionable.

Following Polly’s advice, I completed the 10-day challenge every week, writing an introduction or body paragraph each time. This built familiarity with different question types while also training my writing logic and thinking process. After two to three months, I began to see clear results. Following Polly’s essay framework, my writing was consistently solid.

四、Personal Statement 及面試準備 Personal Statement and Interview Preparation

之前上過Polly面試課堂，上堂前我自己草擬一啲面試必問問題，例如「點解想讀呢科？」／「你對呢科認識有幾多？」自己諗定曬（廣東話／英文）點樣去回應，但當然好多時候都會有盲點，Polly就會好有組織咁幫你回應方法，成段好仔細咁幫你執。如果有任何問題，可以隨時Whatsapp佢，基本上都係會秒覆，有求必應！

比個貼士大家，面試時候都係需要靈活運用份稿，比面試官知道你係用誠懇、有熱情去爭取自己想讀既科！

In Polly’s interview preparation sessions, I drafted answers to common interview questions in advance, such as “Why do you want to study this subject?” and “How much do you know about this field?” in both Cantonese and English. Of course, there were always blind spots, and Polly would help me refine each response systematically, going through every paragraph in detail. Any questions could be sent via WhatsApp at any time. Replies came almost instantly, every time.

One tip for interviews: use your prepared script flexibly. Let the interviewer feel your genuine sincerity and passion for the subject you are applying for.

五、情緒支援與個人成長 Emotional Support and Personal Growth

記得預備面試過程都幾大壓力，因為碩士學位其實係自己一直好想讀既科，而因為咁好想係面試裡面能夠表現自己最好既一面。

其實Polly一直都好支持我，讓我知道預備過程並不孤單。仲記得面試前夕，我成個人都幾繃緊，同時又有啲負面既念頭，但Polly提醒我，其實你唔差，要比多啲信心自己，係往後人生路上都唔好成日覺得「仲有退路」，換轉一個思維方法——肯定自己，相信自己做到，出到黎結果都唔會太差。

The interview preparation process was genuinely stressful, because this master’s programme was something I had wanted for a long time, and I wanted to show my best self in the interview.

Polly was supportive throughout, making sure I never felt alone in the process. I still remember the night before the interview. I was tense and having negative thoughts. Polly reminded me that I was more capable than I gave myself credit for, and that I should believe in myself. She also said something that stayed with me: stop always thinking there is a way out. Instead, commit fully, affirm yourself, and trust that the outcome will follow.

六、課堂以外的學習支援 Learning Support Beyond the Classroom

課堂以外，其實Polly都會比好多學習資源，經常揾學術類型文章比我地學生字，行文語氣等等，讓我明白一篇學術文章唔單止就係咁寫一篇文咁簡單，而係當中用字、句構、鋪排、作者邏輯、思考角度等等，全部都係寫一篇優秀文章既重要元素。

Outside of lessons, Polly regularly shared learning resources: academic articles to build vocabulary, tone, and writing style. This helped me understand that academic writing is far more than simply putting words on a page. Word choice, sentence structure, paragraph flow, the author’s logic, and perspective. All of these are essential elements of a truly excellent piece of writing.

七、最深刻的一句話 The Words That Stayed With Me

「有無諗過，如果個次你肯盡力既話，你今日會有咩唔同？」

我以前都係「得過且過」既人，成日覺得仲有下次。比較幸運既係係英文個底唔差，差極都有個譜，但如果肯盡力時候，可能成個人生都會行左條唔同既路。就拎今次面試做例子，坦白講，碩士年年都有得報，咁呢個係咪就係比自己擺爛，唔盡力既藉口呢？

但今次心態唔同既係，亦都因為Polly個句說話，不停係我腦海裡面浮現。今次我選擇破釜沈舟，因為唔知下年競爭會幾大，今日唔知聽日事，既然又想讀，點解唔盡力去做好佢呢，令自己唔好再後悔呢？

“Have you ever thought about what might be different today, if you had truly given your best that time?”

I used to be someone who got by. I always tell myself there would be a next time. My English foundation was decent enough to keep me afloat, but looking back, if I had truly applied myself, my path might have looked very different. Taking this interview as an example: honestly, the master’s programme accepts applications every year. But was that just an excuse to coast and not try my hardest?

This time, my mindset was different — and Polly’s words kept surfacing in my mind. I chose to go all in. I don’t know how competitive next year’s intake will be. I don’t know what tomorrow holds. But if this is what I want, why not give it everything so I have no regrets?

八、如何向他人推薦 His Recommendation

Polly係一個好負責既老師，如果你真心想進步既話，絕對可以揾佢，因為你whatsapp佢基本上都係秒回，可以好有效率咁解答英文學習上既疑難。

另外，如果自問CHUR得起既話，佢都好適合你，因為除左日常既10-day challenge外，你可以要求做多啲功課，佢全部都會好仔細咁比評語你，等你知道自己邊度可以更進一步。

Polly is an exceptionally responsible teacher. If you genuinely want to improve, she is absolutely the right person to find — WhatsApp her and she will reply almost instantly, resolving your English learning questions efficiently.

If you are someone who is willing to push yourself hard, she is especially suited for you. Beyond the daily 10-day challenge, you can request additional assignments, and she will provide detailed written feedback on every piece, so you always know exactly where you can go further.

九、最適合哪類學生 Who She Is Best Suited For

個人認為英文能力任何底子都合適。最緊要你有願意學習既心，老師實力已經係數一數二咁犀利，淨低就係睇自己有幾想進步，進步幾多，就真係自己自律，因為結果，永遠都唔會同你演戲。

In my view, Polly is suitable for students of any English level. The most important thing is a genuine willingness to learn. Her teaching ability is among the best. What remains is entirely up to how much you want to improve. Progress comes down to your own discipline, because results never lie.
