✨ Need help with IELTS, Business English, or everyday conversation? I’ve helped countless adult learners boost their grammar, confidence, and fluency—now it’s your turn! ✏️📖 ✅
Passionate about helping adults master English for exams, careers, or confidence! As a language learner myself (Mandarin/Cantonese), I understand the challenges—and joys—of fluency.
✨ Why learn with me?
• Tailored lessons for IELTS prep, grammar mastery, or daily conversation
• Over 15 years’ experience in various admin roles – a strong advantage for Business English support
• Patient, structured approach focused on your goals
Note: I specialise in helping adult learners only
Let’s make progress!Me as a Teacher
In our lessons, I want to help you achieve your goals and dreams of becoming fluent in English.
Everyone’s language learning journey is unique, and we all learn at different paces. Whether you want to improve your skills for travel, need to pass an exam to study abroad, or just want to refresh what you already know—I’m here to help!
I always encourage you to speak English as much as possible and make sure you understand the why and how behind grammar rules or phrases. It’s easy to memorise a word, but without understanding its meaning, learning can get confusing. My lessons & teaching style
I’m passionate about helping others, and this shines through in my teaching style. I empower and motivate students to reach their goals. As a TEFL-qualified teacher, I blend proven methods from my own language learning experience with tailored lessons to suit your needs.
I focus on improving pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, writing, speaking, and reading skills. I also specialise in IELTS preparation and Business English, drawing on over 15 years of admin experience to support your career communication.My teaching material

The half-hour lesson is both fun and helpful. Cherene is a patient teacher and a good listener. She will raise an interesting topic and make notes while I’m talking. After the talking she will correct my mistake and give practical advice based on what I just said.

Cherene是非常有耐心负责任并且尊重中国背景的学生的老师。我们在课上纠正语法，避免那些”奇怪的表达”（学习语言者无法意识到的问题）。能感觉到每节课cherene都准备的非常充分，并且根据情况目标会调整教学方案。总之，如果你想找一位好的口语老师，cherene是合适的人选！！！

She is a great teacher with an authentic British accent.Despite a little bit nervous in the beginning just like me did, she calm down quickly and taught me a lot of useful strategies for speaking exam diligently. She helped me with patience when I got stuck with my expression. She is more like a Chinese than me when talking about Chinese new year. Highly recommend!

La profesora fue muy amable, sus dinámicas muy entretenidas y daban pie a un montón de conversación y discusión, lo cual es muy positivo y era algo que necesitaba, practicar mi Speaking. Me hubiera gustado que durara más, pero sí, fue una muy buena clase :)
