About Me
italki teacher since Oct 2, 2025InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReadingTravelSports & FitnessMusic
Hi! I’m Cece, and I’m an English teacher from Philadelphia, USA! I’ve been teaching A1–C2 English for 7+ years 🌍 and hold TEFL & TESOL certifications.
Here's what I offer:
✅ Tailored lessons built for your goals and interests
✅ Creative lessons using stories, music, and brain games
✅ Live notes during each class
✅ Weekly “growth focus” homework assignments
✅ Progress tracking + specific feedback
✅ Specialty lessons (Business, Test Prep, Kids, Music & Mysteries)
✅ Pronunciation + accent coaching
✅ Activities matched to your learning style
✅ Confidence-building speaking tasks
✅ A language-learner perspective
✅ Friendly consistency check-ins between lessons
✅ Schedule flexibility
I'm very energetic, fun, and friendly. I know what it’s like to learn a new language, so I understand the moments when you may feel stuck, the excitement when something finally clicks, and how important it is to feel supported along the way. Therefore, keeping you engaged (and consistent!) is my top priority.
I am also very organized. I’ll also keep track of your progress, send personalized feedback, and give you homework so you can keep improving between sessions. My goal is to make English feel fun, motivating, and simple. You’ll stay challenged, supported, and excited to learn every step of the way. 😊
Our lessons are all about you and how you learn best! They are built around your goals, interests, and learning style, whether that’s speaking, listening, reading, or a mix 🎯. Each class includes...My teaching material

This isn't hyperbole :) Learning with Cece has been a turning point in my life. I was incredibly lucky to have her as my first Italki teacher. Thanks to her kindness, open-mindedness, and professionalism, I conquered my fear of speaking English with a native speaker for the first time.
Moreover, her passion for teaching English and learning languages has always motivated me to stay dedicated. I've got a level of consistency that I never thought I'd have. Additionally, besides the abundance of materials she has accumulated, she often provides tailored lessons that meet my specific needs. I feel free to either talk about my daily life or more complex thoughts with her in class.
I know I still have a long way to go in my English learning journey, and I'd really love to continue my journey with her!

Cece is truly an amazing tutor. She notices exactly what I need to improve, even the things I’m not aware of and guides me in a way that really improves my speaking. I can feel her passion and positive energy in every lesson, which makes the class so fun and motivating. I’m confident that if I continue learning with Cece, my speaking skills will keep improving. I’m really grateful for her teaching.
I 100% recommend Cece to anyone who wants to improve their English. She’s absolutely worth it :)

As a parent, serious appreciate cece’s class and her great patience and encouragement for my 6 and half years old daughter. It is been almost half a year since Evie study with cece. I can see Evie’s huge improvement of speaking, reading and writing. Cece use different topics to inspire Evie to learn and the topics totally drive the kid’s curiosity and interest to learn and explore. Huge appreciation for cece’s efforts and time to develop the kid’s English capability across different subjects and topics, it is English class but it is far more from English. Thank you.
