I speak 4 languages myself so I know that learning English (or any other languages) is not just about grammar and vocabulary. With more than 15 years of work experience in the corporate industry, mentorship and familiarity with business etiquette and vocabulary, I believe this will make our lessons more meaningful.
我相信學習英文不只是學習語法和詞彙,還有很多是在於人與人的溝通,文化的交流。
我有十五年的工作背景,也有導師經驗,商務禮儀,商務英文的知識可以運用在課堂中,讓你的學習更充實。
