Hello, I’m Alan 👋
Business English | Exam Prep (IELTS, PET, KET) | Kids & Beginners
I help professionals ace meetings, students crush exams, and kids build confidence—with clear, structured lessons that *actually work*.
Why my students succeed:
✅ **No wasted time** – Just practical tools for real-life English.
✅ **10+ years** teaching learners from China to Latin America.
✅ **Fun but focused** – Lessons tailored to *your* goals.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me hiking, discussing films, or learning Mandarin (slowly!). Let’s make English *click* for you.Me as a Teacher
📅 If you have booked a class, please send me some details prior to the class. This allows me to prepare an appropriate class.
I believe language learning should be difficult but achievable — that’s how you grow.
My lessons are:
👍🏻Personalized: Every session is built around your goals and needs
👍🏻Structured: You’ll follow a clear roadmap, not random topics
👍🏻Interactive: I use conversation, correction, and practice so you stay engaged
👍🏻Results-Driven: Each lesson ends with a quick win and a next step My lessons & teaching style

Alan’s pronunciation is excellent/clear which makes it easier for kids to understand the stories. I do recommend his reading class for kids in primary school.

Alan is very nice and caring. The lesson is always perfectly prepared. He uses a lot of educational materials and he gives me feedback after each lesson. I always look forward to the lesson with him and I think I improved my English quickly.

孩子非常喜欢Alan老师的课程，从建议的30分钟到能专注50分钟，是个很大的进步。抑扬顿挫的语音语调，还有及时的鼓励和表扬，以及引导式的提问，都非常适合我家孩子，准备陪他坚持下去。
