Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 28. Sep 2018
Sometimes it feels surreal to realise that I live in one of the most liveable cities in the world.
I’m from Melbourne, Australia — a city known for its rich arts and culture, and most importantly, great coffee!
As a Taiwan-born Australian, I first became bilingual in English and Mandarin. Beyond my roots, my friends and family know me as a European language and culture enthusiast. My passion for languages led me to master French and become conversational in Spanish and Swedish.
I understand how hard it is to reach fluency because I’ve done it for different languages.
As a fellow learner and experienced teacher, I can offer helpful tips and techniques to support your progress.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I never imagined I’d be teaching languages for 10+ years.
But here I am. I’ve been teaching professionally since 2012.
Although I now have another full-time career, I’ve never stopped teaching. Why? Because nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students grow. I’ve taught learners from 4 continents, and some have stayed with me for 5+ years. Often, they’re amazed at how far they’ve come.
Today, I work as a marketing manager, mentoring my team to grow daily.
To me, teaching is the same: guiding people to become better versions of themselves.
I’m grateful to work with students who are truly committed.
That’s why I keep teaching at weekends, just to support those who need it.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My students can vouch that I tailor lessons to their goals and learning styles.
In our first lesson, I’ll do my best to understand your preferences and suggest a few approaches based on what you want to work on, and then we’ll decide together.
It’s a two-way street.
I don’t offer one-size-fits-all lessons. I’m here to support, guide, and mentor you. Whether you want to work on conversations, topic discussions, job prep, travel phrases, pronunciation or public speaking, I am here to help. I’ve supported hundreds of students in reaching their language goals. If you have any special requests, just let me know.
My goal is simple: to make each lesson practical and meaningful for you.
Kirby is very supportive. Definitely, he takes some time preparing your personal class, and it worths. thanks for another great chat.

It seems like I made a lot of progress in 1 year! It has been very difficult to feel progress since I reached intermediate level so I was really glad today! ありがとねカービーฅʕ•ᴥ•ʔฅ

I have studied with Kirby for a while AND he is my favorite teacher in 2024 on italki⭐️
In the first class, he would have a free talk to know your purposes of learning, your learning preference and your goals to meet for language.
After several sessions, we reached an agreement to dive in diverse topics in different industries. It is obvious that I have learnt a lot knowledge and I think more deeply by expressing more.
I definitely recommend Kirby for everyone who is hesitate to start a talk. Btw I also have selfishness that do not grab the time slot I want LOL😂
