About Me

I've travelled a lot in Europe and Asia and like learning new languages. I enjoy exercising, reading, and writing. Apart from teaching, I also write fantasy and science fiction and have published 5 novels and several short stories, all under a pen name. I speak conversational Chinese and have a basic knowledge of Spanish.Me as a Teacher
I’m a qualified English teacher with over 25 years’ experience teaching and training teachers across Europe and Asia. If you want to improve your fluency in spoken English, improve your pronunciation, and increase your vocabulary, I can help you. I'm happy to talk about most topics, My interests include psychology, society, culture, literature, as well as more practical topics, such as marketing, branding, and interview skills. Actually, we can discuss any topic you’re interested in.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are practical. I don't lecture students. You will have plenty of opportunity to practice speaking and listening. I'll help you develop good pronunciation and rhythm when speaking, as well as expanding your English vocabulary. In fact, I can help with whatever aspect of English you need. I also send a list of the main mistakes each student makes in a set of class notes after each class. The class notes also include homework.My teaching material

Great course!! I've learnt a lot. It is nice to have the course content customized. I also like the class activities and homework session, where I can have sufficient opportunities to practise again and again untill I can memorize the new words.很好的课程，可以按需定制课程内容。充足的课程活动和课后作业，使我能够有很多机会反复练习所学的单词，直到我能够完全记住它们。

I remembered my first time I was starting to learn English on iTalki back in 2010, I was young and had a great language journey ahead. I experienced similar emotions today.
It seems I have a lot to learn again.
