Hey there, こんにちは, 你好, 안녕하세요, and selamat siang!
My name's Devon, nice to meet you. I'm originally from Vancouver, Canada, and currently live in Bali, Indonesia, where I spend my free time hiking in the jungles with my dog and freediving reefs and wrecks. I've been living and working throughout Eastern Asia for thI also love studying life philosophies and, along with daily meditation, I've found them to be a great way to find peace and contentment in life. As my home has a bit of space for some gardening, I enjoy growing my own vegetables, cooking over an open fire, and taking care of my bee hives.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, my goal is to bring the joy and fun of communicating confidently to each and every person I talk to. I've been living in Asia for 18+ years and during my adventures, I've worked as an English teacher (in Canada, China, Japan, and online), built and ran a craft cocktail lounge, brewery, and distillery for 5 years (in Xiamen, China), and now also work remotely as an English media editor & localization expert for online news about Web3 development and video game storyboards. My passions include nature and the sea, philosophy, meditation, history, and traditional crafts. I like to bring this wide range of experiences into the classroom to both teach and entertain!My lessons & teaching style
I have experience working with the full range of ESL speakers. I tutor conversation classes with a focus on casual and everyday speaking English (including slang), similar to how we talk with friends in a coffee shop or pub, and hope you leave every class smiling.
I believe that the most important part of language is communication, and the key to good communication is confidence. By using live corrective notes and positive support, I aim to build your fluency level and speaking confidence.
Let me know which subjects you are interested in, and we can use that as a springboard for your English adventure!
I do not have experience with specific exams, sorry.
Also, I only teach adults.English Lessons
