What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles leveraging teaching, copywriting or editing skills with collaborative teams that value cultural sensitivity, clear communication, and opportunities to grow professionally.

I am a creative, hard-working freelance English teacher and copywriter with strong organisational and customer-service skills. I bring multilingual capability—English, Cantonese (native), Japanese (N2) and working German—and a proven record of remote client work.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Japanese Studies (2:1) from Newcastle University and an MSc with Distinction in Global Mental Health and Society from Edinburgh University, where I used mixed methods and arts-based approaches in research.

My professional experience includes remote proofreading and copywriting for multiple clients, ESL teaching (one-to-one and group), transcription, and bookkeeping. I consistently adopt clients' tone of voice, produce marketing copy, edit social media content and subtitles, and teach business and conversational English.

I am dependable, quick to learn, and comfortable working independently or collaboratively; I prioritise clear communication, timely delivery, and adapting materials to learner or client needs, drawing on international experience and cultural sensitivity.
