Me as a Teacher

Teenage me started out as a private music teacher, but my first official teaching job was in 2017 at EF in Hangzhou, China, where I taught English to children ages 3-14. Since then, I have taught in classroom settings as well as privately, with my students aged 5 to 60 years old. Als Jugendliche habe ich privat Musik unterrichtet, aber meine erste offizielle Anstellung als Lehrerin war im 2017 bei EF in Hangzhou, China, wo ich Kindern im Alter von 3-14 Jahren Englisch beibrachte. Seitdem habe ich in Klassenzimmern sowie privat unterrichtet, wobei meine Schüler im Alter von 5 bis 60 Jahren sind. 十几岁时，我曾做过私人音乐家教，但我的第一份正式教学工作是2017年在中国杭州的英孚教育，教3-14岁的孩子学英语。从那时起，我既在课堂上授课，也进行私人教学，学生年龄从5岁到60岁不等。

My lessons & teaching style

I am very patient, encouraging, and like to challenge you to figure things out on your own. I love the use of games, playful exercises, tasks and special activities. I will encourage you to speak 40-80% of the time, while providing a balanced focus on both fluency and accuracy. Ich bin sehr geduldig, ermutigend und fordere dich gerne dazu heraus, die Dinge selbst herauszufinden. Ich verwende gerne Spiele, spielerische Übungen, Aufträge und spezielle Aktivitäten. Ich werde dich dazu ermutigen, 40-80% der Zeit zu sprechen und lege dabei einen ausgewogenen Fokus auf Redefluss und Genauigkeit. 我很有耐心，喜欢鼓励你，挑战你，让你自己想办法。我喜欢使用游戏、游戏性练习、任务和特殊活动。我会鼓励你在 40-80% 的时间里说话，同时兼顾流利性和准确性。

After our trial lesson, I can say that Serena is a very patient and understanding teacher that really tries to understand the student's language goals, tailoring her approach for each individual rather than having a blanket method for every person. I look forward to more lessons with her!
