My preferred name is Cake. My pronouns are they/them. Prior to teaching, I had worked for 6 years in both public and private sectors. My greatest achievements in life are being awarded EF High School Year Scholarships to US and New Zealand (a year each), MUIC Young Ambassador Scholarship to Canada for approximately 1 year and the British Council IELTS Prize (East Asia) 2020/21 - Local 1st Prize IELTS to the UK to pursue a Master of Art in Applied Linguistics at University College London (UCL) in the United Kingdom.Me as a Teacher
At the beginning of my working life, I had a dilemma that I had to choose between a full-time corporate job and a temporary teaching job. I ended up taking the full-time offer because I was worried about job security. After taking a detour for a number of years, I’ve decided to follow my heart quitting the full-time job and becoming a teacher. It used to be my greatest regret in life but now that I am a teacher and have opportunities to share my experiences with my students, I am so grateful for all various work experiences I have had. Those experiences are so worthwhile in giving my students career and life advice. Up to now, I’ve been teaching English for over 4 years.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching philosophy has always been the belief that people learn best when they’re having fun and being encouraged. Being a teacher nowadays is not just about educating, but it’s also about facilitating and coaching. Moreover, I admit that even though I am teacher, I still have much to learn. I’m not going to lie but I’ve always tried my very best to find answers for my students.My teaching material

100% recommend! I have been having weekly lessons with Kru Cake for about half a year now. I am a Thai language major at university so I have plenty of Thai classes, but I still prioritise these weekly lessons with Cake because they provide me with the speaking practice that is so essential to learning a language. Lessons with Cake are never boring because they are a creative and smart person who is happy to have a laugh or to talk about serious topics. They are very patient, let me speak as much as I like, and provide me with corrections in an encouraging way. They are a great teacher who really goes above and beyond. Thanks so much Kru Cake, as always!
