About me

When students prepare for exams, confidence comes from knowing both the language and the strategy. My lessons help older children and teenagers improve English step by step, with support in speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, and writing.

My teaching background includes ESL/EFL online and in-person teaching, with over eight years of experience and several years teaching in China. I have taught a wide range of learners and also worked with students preparing for university study, job interviews, and professional communication. My profile focuses especially on IELTS, TOEFL, Business English, and Teaching Young Learners.

In class, I can help with American English and British English, accent reduction, grammar development, listening comprehension, phonetics, reading comprehension, speaking practice, vocabulary development, and writing correction. I teach beginner, upper beginner, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced learners.

For older students, I also support academic English, business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, CAE, CPE, IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC. My goal is to make lessons practical, focused, and encouraging, so students can improve their English skills and feel more prepared for future academic and personal goals.
