Experience
More than 2 years experience teaching ESL learners and speakers in China. I have worked extensively with children, teens, and adults. I work as an IB English teacher and can tutor students to be competitive English speakers, readers, and writers. Through my background and experience, I am qualified to teach conversational English, business English, and academic English. I have successfully guided students to significant score increases on tests including the IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, and ACT. I have helped students gain admittance to top university, high school, and boarding school programs. I can offer proven strategies and free access to dozens of practice exams and other valuable prep materials. My particular specialties are academic and professional writing, advanced reading, vocabulary, literature, critical thinking in English, and US legal subjects.

Hobbies
I love living in China and it has been my great pleasure to get to know many students and to coach and guide them on a personal level, becoming a friend as well as a teacher. I take great pride in my work and it gives me great satisfaction to see my students succeed. During my free time, I like to travel, learn about local culture, and improve my Chinese language skills. I also have a wide range of interests and can easily enjoy discussing everything from films to politics.
