Hi! I’m Lester from the Bay Area, California. Now, I’m operating my own business as an Executive Director of my IT consulting firm in Tokyo. I moved to Southern Germany in 2020 (I married a German💞) after completing my Ph.D. and 10 years of living in Japan.
As an ABC, I’m also a native Chinese speaker and mastered my Japanese language(JLPT N1 180/180, J.Test Special A level 1000/1000) while I used to teach Academic & Business English, Spatial Econometrics, and GIS at university in Tokyo, Japan.Me as a Teacher

First lesson with Lester was great! He tailored the lesson and future lessons around my language-learning goals, presented me with material that was challenging but not impossible, and provided immediate feedback and explanations when needed. He is very knowledgeable about the language learning process and knows how to engage students effectively. I have booked future lessons and I would highly recommend!

Lester是我非常推薦的英文專業教師，為了協助我準備托福口說考試，他在第一堂課前查詢了托福最新的考試規則（2019年改制），準備了上課教材，提供口說問題的範例解答，並且希望我完成課後作業！除此之外，Lester很有熱忱，也具備了高素質的口說技巧，例如教我母語人士如何使用某些英文詞彙，以及母語人士如何發連音，因此我非常推薦Lester教師。
I highly recommend Lester as an English teacher. For assisting me to pass my TOEFL exam, he checked the latest rules of the TOEFL test, which had been updated in 2019, before our 1st class. What's more, he prepared some sample questions and answers that are relevant to TOEFL Speaking exam. In addition, he taught me how to use words as native speaker does. That's why I recommend Lester.

老师特别nice，在课后会把需要提高的地方总结发给我。一个小时的时间学到了远大于一个小时的内容，上课效率很高，也能及时发现自身的问题。对于大学院的面试很有帮助
