Me as a Teacher
What do I like doing in class? If the class is conversation based, then:
- Make some notes before class on either what you've done recently, or things that you want to talk about
- In the class we can talk about these things
- I will not interrupt you while we are chatting, rather I will make notes of your mistakes and we can review your mistakes together the end of the class. In doing this, you can practise your speaking in a natural and relaxed manner, will also be able to find out where you are making mistakes and be
上課時我喜歡做甚麼?若我們的課是以口語練習為主:
-上課之前,將您最近做過的一些事情或是一些您想聊的話題記下來。
-上課時我們可以聊這些話題。
-當我們聊天時,我盡量不會打斷您的話,取而代之我會將您的錯誤記下來,然後在課的最後十分鐘我們會一起看您犯的錯誤。如此一來您可以以自然而輕鬆的方式聯繫口語,也可以發現自己的口語錯誤出現在哪裡且加以改正!
My lessons & teaching style
- Other lesson ideas include: reading an article or novel together, and having a discussion about the article or novel if you want to; proofreading; answering grammar queries; doing pronunciation exercises or anything you want to do! I am flexible and happy to do pretty much anything you want to do!
In short - send me a message and let's have a chat about what you want to do! I am looking forward to seeing you soon!
其他的上課方式包括:我和您一起看一篇文章或是小說,並如果您想要的話和您一起討論這篇文章或是小說的內容、審校您寫的文章、解答您的文法問題、練習發音或任何您想要學習的點!我上課的方式較為靈活:您想做的任何事情我幾乎皆可幫到您!
總之,若您有興趣上我的課的話,儘管和我聯絡,然後我和您可以一起討論一下您的學習目標,並制訂一個學習計劃。期待著與您在課堂上見面!

Another inspiring class! I should admit that taking a class from 10:30pm is quite challenging because my battery had been quite low, so I had to struggle to focus and try to think positively as usual. But Laurence was very attentive and encouraging me to do my best all the time. The class had a relaxed atmosphere, which helped me give a better performance. Thanks!

本節課為作文課,安傑幫我修改了作文,針對每個我出現了的錯誤,一一仔細的分析:先讓我自己發現錯誤點在哪,再讓我試著改正,最後再針對這個詞或語法點進行講解。 總體來説非常好,十分的細緻。一個小細節是:我抄作文標題的時候少抄了一個the,被安傑質疑了題目的權威性,說明他對於自己所教的東西不僅僅自信且保持了一個負責的態度。It was a writing class yesterday. Laurence revised my homework and gave me some comments. He entailed every key point for every mistake I have made.That's helpful. He is an absolutely confident teacher with a responsive attitude evidenced by a typo i made on my writing question. I told him it's issued by Cambridge therefore should be right. However, he still suspected that and eventually it turns out he was right.It was supposed to be "the academic world" instead of what i typed--- "academic world".

He is the best English teacher that I’ve ever had. He always gives us the priority of what we need to do in English. More importantly, he gives us notes and feedbacks even tiny tips in order to let us practice when we have some spare time. That’s exactly what students look for from the teacher. His professional attitude gives us more motivation to carry on. Thank you so much, Laurence.

In this session, he corrected the mistakes I made and introduced to me more advanced vocabulary, such as Yield, Erode and more suitable expressions to describe something in detail. Thank you, Laurence. All the best!

The tenth lesson. I asked Laurence a few questions and share my opinion about the documentary in this lesson. Very productive lesson.

It was the ninth lesson with Laurence. In my eighth lesson, Laurence gave me lots of helpful information and advice for my holiday but I forgot to submit my comments about the lesson. Sorry. And in this class I shared my travel experience with him. Although there are still some errors, I found I feel much more relaxed when I speak English. Thank you for your help. I hope my English will come along a lot.
