My English speaking courses are paired up with my English writing courses.
You can choose the article you want to work on. It can be a news article about current affairs, an article from National Geographic or Harvard Business Review, or a fun article about dogs.
We will work on one article for each set of writing and speaking courses.
For the writing course, you will write a 1000-word summary and critique of the article and send it to me. I will revise your essay, give you feedback on what you can improve, and explain why your sentences are incorrect or unidiomatic.
The writing course is conducted via email.
We will then have a speaking course on Zoom or Skype.
My English speaking courses are all about YOU speaking and me correcting your mistakes. English speaking skills can’t be improved through chit-chat.
It is about correcting your mistakes repeatedly until you have internalised the correct usage.
I am an extremely patient teacher. Language skills can only be acquired through repetition and having someone correct the same mistake multiple times.
In the speaking course, you will present your selected article. I want you to take notes for your presentation before the class.
You will summarise the article, and I will correct your grammar, pronunciation, and word usage mistakes.
You will do your presentation a few times until there are few mistakes and you sound fluent.
We will then move on to a discussion of the article.
I also offer test prep courses for the TOEFL and IELTS. I specialise in teaching the writing and speaking sections.

About Me
I have a PhD in Theology from Cambridge.I have 20+ years of experience teaching English and 10+ years of experience coaching students how to write an engaging personal statement and editing dissertations, papers, and research proposals.
My subject expertise includes:
• Translating from Mandarin to English
• Editing academic papers and admissions essays
• University and graduate school admissions, especially Oxbridge and Ivy League admissions
• TOEFL/IELTS test prep, especially English speaking and writing
• Academic English writing
Education
PhD in Theology, University of CambridgeMPhil in Religious Studies, University of Cambridge
BA in English, National Taiwan University
Experience / Qualifications
20+ years of teaching English10+ years of coaching students how to write their personal statement
I speak Mandarin as my native tongue and speak English to near native level.
I have a PhD in Theology from the University of Cambridge and have 20+ years of tutoring experience. I mostly tutor English as a second language but I also teach Mandarin as a second language.
I have a PhD in Theology from Cambridge. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate. I have 20+ years of experience teaching English and 10+ years of experience coaching students how to write an engaging personal statement and editing dissertations, papers, and research proposals.
I can work with you on how to write an academic essay in a humanities or social sciences subject. Do note that while my background is in Theology and English, I can guide you on how to write an academic paper in other subjects since research papers follow the same format. However, I will not be able to advise you on subject-specific details.
I am an admissions consultant specialising in guiding students to apply to universities or graduate schools in the US and the UK. Most of my clients are third or fourth-year undergraduates or professionals with a few years of work experience applying to graduate schools.
My teaching philosophy is to be a mentor, friend, and sometimes emotional support counsellor for my clients. The admissions process can be daunting, especially for students with little or no experience writing personal statements and academic essays. I guide my students on a journey of self-discovery as they explore what they want to study and why.
When I am working with a student on crafting their personal statement, I will first ask my student to brainstorm ideas. We will discuss what to keep and what to delete when we are structuring the essay. I will then guide them on using the STAR method to give examples and details to demonstrate their skill or experience. The final stage is polishing the essay so it reads well and still retains the student's voice.
I also coach secondary school and undergraduate students how to write academic essays. They need to first become familiar with the materials by reading extensively and writing summaries and critiques. I will then guide them on how to come up with an argument and how to structure the essay. Finally, we will add supporting details and examples to demonstrate the main points.

English for children - with adapted and innovative methods.I struggled with learning and concentration throughout my school career. That's why I specialized in teaching young children aged 4 to 18, helping them learn using adapted methods that I didn't have growing up. I don't just follow the traditional teaching methods used in schools. This passion for my work inspires me to find innovative ways to teach languages.

Speak Up! English for Global Communication; Basic Skills for Everyday UseHi there! I’m a certified English teacher with a strong passion for helping students build confidence and fluency. After completing my certification, I took several private teaching courses to improve my skills—and now I’m excited to use those tools to help you succeed in your English journey.
Whether you're looking to gain confidence when speaking, learn to think in English, or simply improve your skills, I’ve got you covered. I work with students of all ages and backgrounds—from complete beginners to more advanced learners.
For children, I offer progressive, age-appropriate vocabulary and grammar lessons, designed to be fun and effective. I currently teach students as young as five years old and understand how to keep young minds engaged. (Did you know the best time to learn a second language is before age 10?) But don’t worry—it’s never too late! I personally learned Spanish at 30, and I believe anyone can succeed with the right support.
For adults, I use a variety of helpful tools and resources to make lessons both engaging and practical. Whether you're focused on conversation, grammar, or vocabulary, lessons are always tailored to fit your needs—and we can even use your own materials if you’d like.
I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students from China, Korea, Spain, France, Turkey, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. No matter where you're from or what your goals are, I’m here to help.
