My lessons & teaching style
My classes can either be casual or structured, depending on the student's needs. The lessons can be conversation-based or I can work out a syllabus to suit YOUR needs for your English learning journey. Whether it be pronunciation, grammar, reading or comprehension, I can tailor the class to your individual goals. But more importantly, I want to be more than a teacher to you. I want to help you evolve as a human being so doors all around the world can open up for you.

I am so grateful to Lily for teaching me the valuable lessons. Moreover, Lily is a patient teacher, she always helped me to fix my pronunciation errors. Besides, she gave me homework so that I can practice after the class. She also provided some resources to improve my English speaking skill. These are really helpful for me to prepare the TOEFL test.

Lily is a really cool person. I learned a lot about protecting animals in her lessons. She really is an angel. She loves all living things in the world and wants to protect them. Lily raises important awareness in you in this regard. Thanks to Lily, I don't eat animals anymore and I feel healthier and more peaceful. Thank you very much for this awareness Lily!

Before I started with italki, I had a problem with confidence and every time I had to speak English, it was scary for me because I was really nervous. So I am really glad I've chosen Lily. Conversations with Lily are always relaxed and I would say we always have a really great time. So, I think I've already shaken off most of my anxiety toward speaking English. Now speaking English is really FUN for me, and I am already looking forward to another lesson with Lily.
