Polyglot fluent in German, Cantonese, English, and Chinese, currently studying Japanese. Born&raised in Hong Kong, I moved to Germany for further studies and completed a degree fully taught in German. After graduating, I worked in the renewable energy industry for >5 years while tutoring in my free time.
Now as a German&English tutor residing in Singapore, I help students navigate learning languages by drawing from my own experience. I am passionate about language learning and cultural exchange.
My hobbies are bouldering, hiking, travelling (Taiwan&Japan mostly :D) and watching anime.
I am also interested in topics like food, J-pop, digitalisation, politics and sustainability.Me as a Teacher

Learning language doesn’t have to be all about dry grammar rules!
My lessons are designed to be practical, engaging, and tailored to your needs—whether you're navigating daily conversations, preparing for exams or job interviews, or refine your pronunciation.
To make learning effective and enjoyable, I use a variety of materials, including audio and video sources for listening practice, as well as interactive games to build confidence in speaking.
Beyond textbook knowledge, I’ll also teach you local phrases & expressions that native speakers actually use. I’m patient, encouraging, and always happy to answer questions—even after class. Let’s make learning German&English fun!My teaching material

Bestätigung einer ehrenamtlichen Tätigkeit - Hongkonger in Deutschland e.V. - 2021I volunteered as German instructor for Hongkongers through the NGO Hongkonger in Deutschland e.V..

Very accessible entry level introduction into German, and Erika was able to adjust the pace of the lessons after finding out that I had previously taken some lessons elsewhere. Vielen Dank!

老师教了我很多和音乐学校入学考试面试相关的实用表达，例如如何自我介绍、回答考官的问题，以及如何自由对答和表达我对音乐的热情。内容贴近实际，我觉得上完课后更有信心面对德语面试了。老师解说清楚细心，也会依照我的需要调整内容。非常推荐！

Erica is very well prepared and organised even though I told her my learning needs kinda late. I saw that she has materials prepared for every level and we practiced the phrases I need for going to the local German immigration office. She even gave me tips which situation I could face, since it will be the first time I go to the immigration by myself. I will for sure book her class again whenever I have specific needs.
