Hello, I’m Alan 👋
I help non-native professionals, students, and kids build strong English skills with lessons that are clear, structured, and results-driven.
With me, you won’t just “practice conversation.” You’ll gain real tools to:
✅ Speak with confidence in business meetings & interviews
✅ Pass exams like IELTS, PET, and KET
✅ Improve pronunciation & grammar so people understand you the first time
✅ Build fluency step by step, even if you’ve struggled before
I’ve taught English for 10+ years to learners from all over the world, including China, Europe, and Latin America. My students say I make lessons focused, fun, and practical.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
👍🏻 I believe that your improvement is linked to the support and understanding provided.
👍🏻 I am able to connect with adults and children and to quickly build a rapport with any student.
👍🏻 I strive to provide a learning environment that supports your development.
👍🏻 My classes are fun and energetic, whether with adults or children.

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.

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。
