About me - English
A linguist by training, a coach by profession, and a traveler by heart across cultures, careers, and mental spaces. I have lived in 8 countries and traveled to 30+, speak 5 languages, and changed careers 3 times. Besides language teaching, I'm also a career and life coach, focusing on personal branding and personal development, my philosophy in work and life is fully focused on the individual, internal experiences, that empowers you to be you - real, whole and free.
Qualifications & Experience
I've been teaching languages for 4+ years, and have received 5/5 reviews from 1500+ hours taught to 100+ students from all over the world. I have Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honors) and Master of Science (Magna Cum Laude) in linguistics - with focus on Cantonese, phonetics and neurolinguistics.
Teaching Approach
•I am patient and encouraging, as I am a long-time language learner myself and put myself into my students' shoes. I ask lots of questions and want you to speak more than me in the lessons :) I believe in your unique power and competence, and I help you discover your own approach and motivation!
•I have a holistic approach to language and culture - there are many links between languages, and language is never isolated from culture. Therefore I use scientific principles in linguistics and intercultural communication that are applicable way beyond just Chinese/English.
•I think it's very important to have fun while working hard - that's why I use interactive materials like songs, movies etc :)
•My lessons are integrated with coaching (guiding you to the answers yourself, instead of giving them up front), culture topics (life abroad, global mindset), and personal development (let language learning be part of your self-discovery and enrichment journey).
•Many lessons for beginners are with a structured program with textbooks, and many lessons for intermediate/advanced learners are with conversations and native materials based on personal needs and interests.
•You will get your tailor-made lesson plans, wordlists, flashcards, homework (and music playlists!).
•I can usually teach each student 1-2 classes per week, I can teach in Russian and German at the beginner level.
