🌟Hi! I’m Brady, or 叶佳明, a passionate tutor fluent in Spanish, English, and Mandarin Chinese. My lessons are tailored to your goals—whether it’s mastering conversational fluency, improving grammar, or gaining cultural insights🌏. With a focus on real-world language use, I’ll help you sound natural, confident, and ready for any situation.

Me as a Teacher
🎓 I have experience teaching Spanish, English, and Mandarin Chinese, helping students build confidence and fluency while exploring the cultures behind these languages. I believe that understanding culture is key to learning, so our lessons will combine language practice with real-world context and traditions.
Since starting my teaching journey in 2020, I’ve worked with students from various backgrounds, tailoring lessons to their needs — whether it’s improving conversation, mastering grammar, or gaining cultural insight. Let’s start your language journey together—book a lesson today!
My lessons & teaching style
Every lesson is tailored to your level, needs, and goals.
Conversational Lessons: We’ll focus on topics you enjoy, like hobbies or current events, to improve fluency and confidence. I’ll provide vocabulary lists, take notes on platforms like Google Docs or WeChat, and use tools like Quizlet to support your learning.
Structured Lessons: Using textbooks, articles, or videos, we’ll expand your vocabulary, improve grammar, and practice native expressions. Lessons combine learning and real-world practice for lasting progress.
Before starting, we’ll discuss your goals to ensure a personalized and enjoyable learning experience!

120-Hour TESOL Certificate - International Open Academy - 2020With this 120-Hour TESOL Certificate Course, I learned many fundamental factors in English teaching. I completed this course recently so that I could become a better teacher for my students here on italki and here in the Dominican Republic. This course contains a lot of important information that every professional teacher should know, and should implement too.

Excellent lesson to get back into Chinese language learning after a looong break. Brady was extremely supportive as always and adapted to my level very well! 谢谢!星期一见!:)
Brady is an amazing teacher. He is very organized and creates learning plans tailored to each student’s current level and needs. His ability to speak Chinese, Spanish, and English helps me understand concepts better. Learning Spanish with Brady is both efficient and fun, and he creates a highly enjoyable learning atmosphere. I have seen great progress in my Spanish learning. Thank you!

Brady is great,
He helps me work on things I am trying to learn to say in multiple languages, and what translation is best for what I am trying to say according to the cultural meaning. He is super intelligent and easy going.
