Me as a Teacher

I have taught over 10,000 lessons on italki, and I am skilled in teaching both kids and adults. Under my approach, many of my students have achieved fluency, and excellent scores in standardized tests like IELTS and HSK. I have also researched and self-created contents for over 500+ daily scenarios, each dialogue is specially designed, so grammar structures are taught naturally through the dialogues, to ensure easy understanding. These topics pretty much cover every possible scenario in life, so you can be sure that you would reach a near native level of vocabulary after learning them.

My lessons & teaching style

➡️ Test preparation (IELTS / HSK / TOEFL): Practice on Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading questions, with feedback and correction, as well as strategies and tips to improve. ➡️ For role-play simulation: We will role play common scenarios after learning sentence structures and vocabulary of a certain topic (Renting an apartment, Job interviews, Traveling etc) ➡️Free-talk practice: We will be discussing topics you are interested in, (sports, movies, fashion, relationships, arts, culinary, politics, environmental issues, technologies etc)

Teacher’s pick

I got my dream job offer with Simon’s help. He helped me practice very insightful questions for my industry, and he was really meticulous in helping me revise my resume, so as to make my experiences stand out. Totally recommend him.

没想到用了老师的素材第二次考就达到7.5了，part3的素材幸亏背了，考的cultural diversity 和 should traditional and other cultures coexist 那两道题，要是没事先了解过估计会回答得很浅显。课时包剩下来的课今天练习了mba面试，老师也帮我把回答调整得很漂亮👍

He explained to me how to structure my arguments better using the top-down method. I now realize organization is really important for IELTS task 2 writing, not just content.
