About Me
italki teacher since Oct 1, 2021
Hi, I'm Fi! I'm from New York City and currently live in Tokyo, Japan where I teach English in a school.
My educational background is in Psychology (bachelors) and Human Resource Management (masters). Over the years and throughout my career as HR Recruiter, I consistently engaged in English tutoring for students from South Korea, Turkey, China, to name a few. In NYC, I've also worked as a Writing Tutor at a college helping with students' writing assignments.
I've also been lucky to have lived in different parts of the world and I love meeting diverse people.
Let's chat! I look forward to speaking with you and helping you achieve your targeted goal!
Me as a Teacher
I enjoy teaching all age groups and I love to have fun while learning. I am committed to helping students improve or elevate their English and gain further confidence. One of the things I also like to encourage is critical thinking.
Having lived in different parts of the globe has helped me become a great communicator with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
What I love most is seeing students progress right before my eyes. That is so rewarding to me!
My lessons & teaching style
I customize individual lesson plans to fulfill varying needs, from conversation, writing, pronunciation, reading and comprehension, vocabulary building, presentation to interviewing skills. Students are more than welcome to bring in their own topics to talk about or discuss. My goal is to help students become confident English speakers!
Due to my full time work as a teacher at a school, I currently have a limited schedule here on italki, and fortunately for me, the slots are filling up. I'm always open to have a discussion about your preferred time of class and I'll do my best to accommodate my future students, so don't hesitate to contact me directly.

The medical residency program in the US is a very complex and difficult process. During the interview process, I met Fi and obtain so much information, and improved my speaking skills. She has been very supportive and caring throughout the entire long process. I eventually matched to my first choice program, and I give my greatest shout-outs to Fi. Thank you :)

Fi is extremely nice and professional. She gives me a lot of valuable suggestions for my interview, and always encourages me, which improved my confidence. As the result of keeping practicing with Fi, I finally got the offer! Please just try Fi's course, and you won't regret!

I took the package of 5 classes and I can say that Fi is an excellent teacher, very patient and professional. I'll definitely take other packages with her.
I highly recommend her at 110%

The first lesson went pretty well. Fi is more like a friend than a teacher to me and she's so warm and friendly that makes me less nervous to speak out in English.
