Hello, thanks for taking time to consider me as your future English Tutor. I am a highly motivated professional with a strong commitment to education and mentorship. Having navigated the challenges of learning Chinese firsthand during my first year in China, I developed a deep empathy for language learners. I am now dedicated to using my experience to create smoother, more effective learning paths for my students, ensuring they have the support I once needed.Me as a Teacher
I am a dedicated and passionate educator with a strong background in English tutoring and debate judging. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in conducting engaging one-on-one and group lessons, tailoring my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of my students. My experience as a judge and mentor in various debate tournaments has further developed my critical thinking and communication skills, allowing me to provide constructive feedback that helps students excel. My top priority as an English teacher is to create a fun, engaging and relaxed environment for students to learn while improving their English level. My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to create an engaging, tailored environment where you can build true fluency. Through my own journey learning Chinese and volunteering and teaching English in China, I know exactly how frustrating it feels to study for years but still struggle to speak and I have seen why so many students feel stuck after years of study. I use interactive lessons designed for student specific needs to ensure that they can turn their "text book English" into practical real conversation skills that they can use with confidence."My teaching material

As the teacher's profile mentions, he has studied in China, so he can understand students' meaning very well. Besides, it's a huge plus that he speaks Chinese. He also asks about my interests before class and teaches accordingly, which is great! This experience was really enjoyable.
