Language Coach from Australia | 10+ Years’ Experience Helping You Speak Confidently Sometimes it feels surreal to realise that I live in one of the most liveable cities in the world.

As a fellow learner and experienced teacher, I can offer helpful tips and techniques to support your progress. I never imagined I’d be teaching languages for 10+ years. But here I am. I’ve been teaching professionally since 2012. Although I now have another full-time career, I’ve never stopped teaching. Why? Because nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students grow. I’ve taught learners from 4 continents, and some have stayed with me for 5+ years. Often, they’re amazed at how far they’ve come. Today, I work as a marketing manager, mentoring my team to grow daily. To me, teaching is the same: guiding people to become better versions of themselves. I’m grateful to work with students who are truly committed. That’s why I keep teaching at weekends, just to support those who need it.

It seems like I made a lot of progress in 1 year! It has been very difficult to feel progress since I reached intermediate level so I was really glad today! ありがとねカービーฅʕ•ᴥ•ʔฅ

I have studied with Kirby for a while AND he is my favorite teacher in 2024 on italki⭐️ In the first class, he would have a free talk to know your purposes of learning, your learning preference and your goals to meet for language. After several sessions, we reached an agreement to dive in diverse topics in different industries. It is obvious that I have learnt a lot knowledge and I think more deeply by expressing more. I definitely recommend Kirby for everyone who is hesitate to start a talk. Btw I also have selfishness that do not grab the time slot I want LOL😂
