Hello!

I am now focusing on teaching Pro students exclusively through advance bookings. I've taught a diverse range of students across numerous majors at several universities, and I provide relaxed, enjoyable, and relevant sessions as a freelance communication consultant for intermediate or advanced learners. I will help you with executive presence for your profession and career, as well as holistic life advice. I hope to meet you soon!

I have lived and studied in both England and various areas of Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland, Canberra, Adelaide, and Tasmania. Later, I taught English credit courses to many majors at several universities across South Korea. I also worked with multinational teams as an editor at Appen's international HQ in Sydney, an award-winning speech technology company. I enjoy day trips, walking, cafes, restaurants, learning about Buddhism, and music, notably electronic and synthwave. When I'm out, I film for my future vlogs.

Specialties

Teaching Style

For our first lesson, I suggest free talking, which we can continue at any time. We will set goals and a study plan that we can adjust as we go. I also suggest studying news articles from a well-known website. In this way, we can significantly develop your skills in reading, listening, pronunciation, comprehension, and discussion. These articles are specifically designed to help English learners and are popular among Cambly students. Students may choose a relevant article and bring it to the lesson. Each lesson will take about 30 minutes. If a student hasn't chosen an article beforehand, I will quickly select one at the very start of the lesson. We can book two of my sessions for 30 minutes each if you would like more time to discuss an article. If you have a different idea or plan for our lessons, please feel welcome to discuss it with me. My schedule may vary from week to week. I am very patient in my teaching, but please understand that all students still need to follow my expectations and requirements, as well as Cambly's, as best as they can. I have a neutral Australian accent, and I'm often identified as being British, having spent early years there.
