Hey there! I'm Lily 👋I'm originally from China 🌶️ — yes, the land of pandas and spicy food!
✨My journey with languages has taken me across three countries 🌍 I taught English in China at one of the top education companies, was a university lecturer in Europe, and now I live and work in the US 🇺🇸. Along the way, I've worked with middle schoolers, college students, working professionals, and even coached 300+ students on their academic and career goals.
If you're looking for a teacher who's been in your shoes as a language learner AND knows the science behind effective learning, let's chat! 😊
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm the kind of teacher who cares about YOUR goals — not a one-size-fits-all textbook plan.
Before we start, I'll take time to understand what you actually need. IELTS or TOEFL prep? Business English for meetings and emails? Everyday conversation confidence? Academic writing for school? Whatever it is, I build our lessons around that 🎯
Three things my students appreciate most:
I make it practical 💡
I make it comfortable 🤝
I make it effective 🧠
I've taught across three countries and worked with students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds. I adapt quickly, and I genuinely enjoy watching my students grow 🌱
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Every lesson is tailored to you — your level, your goals, your pace ✅
Here's what a typical learning journey with me looks like:
🔹 Trial lesson — We chat about your goals, assess your current level, and figure out what approach works best for you. No pressure, just a friendly conversation.
🔹 Personalized plan — Based on our first session, I create a learning plan just for you.
🔹 Engaging sessions — Lessons are interactive and practical. Depending on your needs, we might work on speaking fluency, reading comprehension, writing structure, listening skills, or exam strategies.
🔹 Feedback & follow-up — After each lesson, I give you clear feedback on what you did well and what to work on.
