Maxwell Heward

As a tutor, I taught math and Mandarin to students aged 6 to 15, tailoring lessons to their individual learning needs. I focused on building a strong foundation in math concepts and language skills, using engaging methods to keep students motivated. Through patience and clear communication, I helped them improve their academic performance and confidence. This experience taught me a lot about myself as a teacher and the different techniques I can use to help people better understand what I need them to.

• As a volunteer with the Canada 7s Charity Foundation, I actively contributed to the success of events aimed at raising funds and awareness for community-focused initiatives. My responsibilities included teaching Hong Kong locals how to play rugby, interacting with participants and donors to promote the foundation's mission, and providing on-site assistance during games. This experience enabled me to hone my organisational and communication skills while working as part of a team committed to making a good difference in the community.

During my internship at Bonkers I had the opportunity to shadow in the fields of sales and marketing. This job included travelling overseas to Nuremberg, Germany to participate in the trade show. I was involved in many meetings with consumers and learned the ins and outs of the Toy Industry. This internship taught me a lot about how to sell and different marketing techniques.

As a tennis coach, I focused on developing players' technical skills, strategic understanding, and overall fitness through personalized training sessions and group practices. I worked with athletes of various skill levels, emphasizing fundamentals like stroke technique, footwork, and game strategies to enhance their performance on the court. Beyond technical training, I encouraged discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship, fostering a supportive environment where players could grow both on and off the court. This role strengthened my leadership abilities and deepened my passion for mentoring others.

While I was interning at Tmax I was given the opportunity to observe and learn all about what it takes to run a Boxoffice organization. The departments I worked with included, quality assurance, quality control, sales, engineering and most importantly sustainability. During my time here, I frequently accompanied clients to factories in Shenzhen and Vietnam to oversee product manufacturing and potential growth.

During my time at the HKGTA I taught local children from Hong Kong how to play tennis. We fed balls and played fun games to build up their courage and improve in tennis while having a fun time. This experience taught me a lot about teaching and the importance of organization.
