Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 28 Sep 2018
I live in Melbourne, Australia, one of the most liveable cities in the world! I love my city since this city is full of arts and culture, and most importantly, good coffee!
I was originally born in Taiwan and I have moved here and went to school in Australia so I am fluent in both English and Mandarin. I also speak French fluently and have studied other languages as well. If there are any words that you don't know, I can translate it for you in a different language if that helps! People would say that I am extremely enthusiastic about learning and teaching languages. As an experienced language learner myself, I can certainly give you several tips on language learning!
Ik als leerkracht
I have been teaching languages since 2012 and I believe there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the progress of your students. While learning with me, you will have a lot of conversational practice with constant feedback to help you grow! My focus is to help you build your confidence in speaking. I believe one of the most efficient ways to learn a language is non-stop speaking and communicating with people, but what matters the most is learning from your mistakes. I can also teach you how to sound cool but natural instead of sounding like a textbook robot! Let's have fun learning!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I generally ask my students what their goals are and I structure my lessons around the interests or needs of each person to help them achieve their goals.
We could work on conversations, topic discussion, job preparation, travel phrases, pronunciation, and public speaking. I like to use unconventional methods to push students since I believe learning should be more fun and interactive. If you prefer me to go through your materials with you, I would be more than happy to help you with that too.
If you have any other special requests, please do not hesitate to let me know! :)

I have studied with Kirby for a while AND he is my favorite teacher in 2024 on italki⭐️
In the first class, he would have a free talk to know your purposes of learning, your learning preference and your goals to meet for language.
After several sessions, we reached an agreement to dive in diverse topics in different industries. It is obvious that I have learnt a lot knowledge and I think more deeply by expressing more.
I definitely recommend Kirby for everyone who is hesitate to start a talk. Btw I also have selfishness that do not grab the time slot I want LOL😂

It seems like I made a lot of progress in 1 year! It has been very difficult to feel progress since I reached intermediate level so I was really glad today! ありがとねカービーฅʕ•ᴥ•ʔฅ

Kirby is a brilliant teacher. He always encourages me to speak and to pronounce words properly thanks to his interesting articles. He's a good listener as well as trustworthy.
