What I'm looking for

I am currently seeking part-time English teaching opportunities only, preferably in ESL, conversational English, speaking, grammar, pronunciation, and Business English. I have experience teaching children, teenagers, and adult learners of different nationalities and proficiency levels.

At Lingnan Normal University, I design and deliver university-level English courses, including Oral Communication, Listening and Viewing Skills, and Academic English. I also conduct IELTS Speaking preparation, helping students work on fluency, pronunciation, and coherence.

At Learning English Training Center, I planned lessons for students from primary school through adulthood and trained students for Cambridge B1 Preliminary and the College English Test. I also developed a reading curriculum to support comprehension and vocabulary.

Earlier, I taught English and senior high school subjects at Sisters of Mary of Banneux, Inc., and provided tailored tutoring for students who were slow or nonreaders. I’ve also taught online ESL to professionals and learners in China, Japan, Spain, and Colombia, and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in English Education.
