For all ages - children through adults | 14+ Years of Experience I'm Sam, a certified English teacher with 14+ years of experience helping learners of all ages — children through adults — build confidence in speaking, reading, and understanding English. I hold a Master's degree from the University of Birmingham and a TESOL certificate, and I'm fluent in Thai, giving me real insight into the challenges Thai speakers face when learning English. My specialty is phonics and foundational language skills, but I adapt my approach to fit each learner's goals: young children build strong reading habits through games, songs, and stories; teens and adults work on practical fluency, pronunciation, and natural, confident speaking for school, work, or everyday life. I'm patient, enthusiastic, and focused on creating a relaxed space where you can practice without fear of mistakes. Every lesson is tailored to your age, level, and goals — whether that's a strong start in English for your child, exam prep, or speaking more naturally in daily situations. Let's make learning English enjoyable and effective, at any age.

After I earned a Masters of Teaching in 2010 and then a TEFL certification, I started teaching English and worked at a non-profit. Since then, I've taught students from over 50 countries, including children and adults. I take my job seriously, but am also relaxed, so our lessons are both informative and low-stress. I want you to feel confident in your skills so you can improve more easily, which I do by making class welcoming and safe. My classes are for everyone, regardless of background and preferences. Students describe me as supportive, responsive, empathetic, caring, and calm. Speaking English is scary, so I want students to feel confident so they can use English without feeling stressed 😌 In my free time, I enjoy playing Nintendo, traveling, and reading. I finish at least one book per week! * I can teach children ages 7 and up * Babies and pets welcome during class Each class is customized for you based on your interests and what you need to improve.

🌸Native English Teacher 😊| Kids Speaking and Phonics 儿童口语+自然拼读 🧸 | Adult Oral English 成人口语 🗣️ Hello! I'm Brooke, an American teacher with over four years of experience teaching English in China! My teaching philosophy is simple: to build the love of learning languages through a relaxed, stress-free, language learning environment. I believe the key to fluency lies in a positive encouragement where mistakes are welcomed as part of the learning process. 我的教学理念很简单:让学生在轻松、没有压力的环境里爱上语言学习。我觉得要学好一门语言,最重要的是多鼓励、多肯定,犯错很正常,本来就是学习的一部分。 For Young Learners aged 3-10, I offer a hand-crafted Oral-English curriculum that increases both vocabulary and confidence. I also offer a Phonics and Reading course to improve literacy skills. 适合3到10岁的孩子,我有一套自己精心设计的口语课,既能帮他们积累词汇,也能让他们越说越自信。同时,我也教自然拼读和阅读,帮孩子打好读写基础。(3-5岁学生须家长陪同上课) For Adult Learners, I offer free-flowing Conversation Practice or Topic-Based Oral English Lessons targeting specific vocabulary and grammar based on your interests and goals. 面向成人学员,我提供自由口语练习,或者主题式口语课程,会根据你的兴趣和目标,有针对性地教词汇和语法。 A key advantage I offer is my understanding of the Chinese language, which allows me to predict and clarify challenges unique to Mandarin speakers, such as pronunciation and grammatical differences. Of course, the goal is to practice English, so for adults I will always aim to speak 100% English during my lessons, and with children I will only use Chinese when necessary! 我会说中文,所以能预判并讲解中文母语者特有的难点,比如发音和语法上的差异。当然,目标是练习英语,所以成人课我会尽量全程说英文;孩子的话,只在必要时才会用中文! Book a lesson with me today and let's start learning together! I look forward to meeting you!

I Prepare Kids & Adults For Everyday Situations. Students Say I Provide Fast Growth and Patience. I'm Leia from California. I've been teaching English as a foreign language for more than 10 years. I instruct kids and adults. Many of my students have been with me 5 years. They started out as beginners or from an intermediate level. Now they are able to do so much more: have more conversations, travel more, improve test scores, get new jobs, attend international schools, and move to English-speaking countries more easily. Together we will focus on clear pronunciation of the 44 sounds, build vocabulary on many different everyday topics, increase your communication, understand step-by-step the 12 grammar tenses, and have time for readings with question and answer time. Want to improve today? Join me for a 1-hour trial lesson for practice, correction, and feedback. I will always speak clearly and correct everything. My focus is on effective communication and your development. Together we'll center on the following: pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and reading. The way to make progress is continuous engagement. It's the way you learned your first language with your mom before you ever went to school. As you speak I'll correct your pronunciation and add more expressions to sound more natural and be better understood. You'll read and use your critical thinking skills. As you're introduced to new vocabulary and expressions I'll write them down. Grammar is necessary, but I'll explain it easily with formulas and examples and ask you to express your own thoughts.

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.
