Hello! My name is Li-Zen (pronounced “Lee-ZEN.)” It’s very nice to meet you! I was born in Canada, but now I live in the United States. English is my native language. When I’m not teaching, I love spending time in nature, hanging out with my family, dancing, singing, and writing and producing music. I also am learning Spanish.
*Note: I’m formerly known as Kay Lin on this platform.
Me as a Teacher
Since 2019, I’ve been teaching here on italki. It’s been an honor to assist so many students in reaching their goals! My passion as a teacher is to help students feel better at expressing themselves, and my favorite lessons to teach include pronunciation, conversation, and interview prep.
I am skilled at helping you with English and answering any questions. If I do not immediately know the answer, I will find it for you after our lesson.
My lessons & teaching style
I am kind, knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. I am a good listener and will be happy to help you to speak more. We will focus a lot on building confidence in your English skills and in yourself!
Because every student is different, I personalize my lessons to each student’s learning style, level, and goals.
Lesson types: Personalized Lessons for Adults, Personalized Lessons for Children & Adolescents, and Interview Preparation.
*Note: You may cancel/reschedule lessons up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled time here on italki. After that, payment is not refunded. In the case of an emergency, please contact me privately.

I have been taught by teacher Lin-Zen for the whole summer holiday! She is a very good teacher and teaches me speaking and writing with fun and creative ideas. We do a lot of Q and A with each other, I have learned a lot on pronunciation and phrases. She also gives detailed feedback on each lesson which can help me know my strengths and weaknesses. I think she is an excellent teacher.
