English Conversation

Need an effective teacher who easily explains step by step?

This is a chance to practice your English skills, for me to assess your level, and for you to get an idea of my teaching style. 

You must be at least 6.5 years old for my class. For young beginners, we will introduce each other first, and l will teach you some common etiquette when meeting someone. Then I will show you some pictures where I will ask you some questions about them. I will also teach you  how to ask for help when you don' understand a word or don't have an answer. Next you will read  a short picture story with more question and answer time. Here I will get an an idea of your grammar experience and comprehension level. After that, we will play a learning game for you to learn some new vocabulary and demonstrate more speaking. Last, I will review the 44 sounds of the English language to see what sounds you are having trouble pronouncing. At the end, parents and I can meet to talk about strengths, weaknesses, and the best learning plan as well as further discounts.

If you are older we can talk and learn about anything you want or I will choose the topics.

Whether you are  a young or an adult, I will correct and explain all errors both verbally and in writing.

For those who are at least an intermediate level. Let's read a news article,  story, or speech. What topics interest you?

You will work on:
critical thinking
vocabulary
expression
intonation
summarizing
phrasal verbs
grammar
etc.

This is the class if you are preparing for tests like the FCE, CAE, or IELTS.

📝 Articles + Vocabulary  + Discussion

Use this time to articulate your thoughts. What's on your mind? There are so many topics we can chat about: headlines, travel, hobbies, food, pop culture, health, movies, world cultures, music, trends, art, sports, technology, social media, work, shopping, books, lifestyle,  goals, holidays, etc. Think of a few topics of interest  as well as some questions. It's not important what you talk about. It's important that you produce as much speech as possible to get the most practice and address your mistakes. I'll make it painless.

This is the class if you need to improve your English for travel, social situations, and work environments.

Informal Tutoring & Conversation Practice in English

Please send me a message before the class telling me about your goals and what you hope to achieve in our class together.

I kindly ask that my students select ZOOM when booking a class with me to ensure that we have a good connection. ZOOM also allows us to share our screens and use annotation tools.

Using images, music, videos, annotation tools, and gestures, I will immerse your child in the English language. The lessons are 100% in English. Throughout the class, I will focus on pronunciation and gently correct any mistakes your child may make. My classes are $30 an hour/ $15 for 30 minutes but I allow up to 3 children in the classroom, so if you can organise your children learning with some friends, the class can be more economical for you. I recommend 30-minute classes for small children who are new to online learning.
Here are the courses I provide: 
1. The “National Geographic” course (PREK to Grade 1/ A1- A2), which involves reading and practice materials for homework (which I can grade). This is my most popular course. It is great for encouraging children who already know some basic vocabulary in English to put their first sentences together. 
2. The “Big English” course focuses more on grammar and listening skills. I believe this course is good for helping children who can already make basic small talk in English (e.g. “What is your favourite colour? What do you like to do? Where is your mum/ dad?”) cover all the vocabulary and grammar rules that will equip them to use the language independently (B1 level). Some of the children who finish this course go on to take conversational classes without a curriculum. Other parents feel that if their child is shy, they can go on to study a reading or science class in English instead. 
3. The “Oxford Reading Tree” course, puts a heavy emphasis on reading skills. It is the same curriculum that British children study in primary school. 

Please message me and let me know if there is a course that you would prefer. If not, I am happy to assess your child and choose the course that I think will be the most beneficial. I kindly ask that you select Zoom, as the italki classroom does not support group classes, drawing, screen sharing, and audio/ video clips, which are necessary for the lesson.

Children’s Classes (Zoom)

I can send you vocabulary lists to study before the class and plan a variety of speaking activities and dialogues to practice in our class together to allow you to practice using your new vocabulary and correct grammar and pronunciation errors. 

Please note that I cannot plan a class without knowing your level. If you want a vocabulary list before our first class, you will need to write to me and tell me about your abilities in English. Otherwise, I can use our first class to assess your level. 

I kindly ask that my students select ZOOM when booking a class with me to ensure that we have a good connection. ZOOM also allows us to share our screens and use annotation tools. Also, I have back-to-back classes, and on Zoom I do not have to log into a new classroom for each class, which means that your lesson will be longer! I decline lesson requests in the italki classroom.

General English for Adults (Zoom)

IELTS
In this class, we can practice a mock exam paper from the Cambridge book series or the website "IELTS Bro Predict." I can give you feedback, a score, and tips on how to achieve a higher band score.

Please note that I do not accept payments outside the italki system. I adhere to the italki cancellation policy- students are not allowed to cancel the class within 24 hours of the class start time.

IELTS Speaking Practice (Zoom)

该课程是全英文授课方式，我将使用图像、音乐、视频、文字注解和手势等诸多工具，让您的孩子完全沉浸在英语语境中。在课堂上，我会专注于发音，并温和地纠正您孩子可能犯的语音错误。我的课程设为30美元/小时、15美元/30分钟两种，对于刚接触在线学习的小孩子我主推30分钟的课程。


以下是我的课程简介：
1.使用“Bob Books”系列的语音/字母课程。本课程适合刚学习字母表和刚学会发音的孩子。
2. “National Geographic"国家地理”课程(学前班至一年级/ 初级阶段)，这是我最受欢迎的 课程，包括阅读和作业练习册(作业部分我会评分)。对于已经掌握一些英语基本词汇的孩子们，鼓励他们开口说出第一句英文真的太重要了！
3.   “Big English"大英语”课程，更注重语法和听力技能。我确信这门课程对于那些已经能用英语进行基本闲聊的孩子们很有帮助（例如：“你最喜欢的颜色是什么？你喜欢做什么？你的妈妈/爸爸在哪里？”）。该课程涵盖了中级的所有词汇和语法规则，孩子们可以独立自主地运用这门语言。一些已经完成这门课程的孩子可继续学习会话课程。另有一些家长认为他们的孩子会害羞，这种情况下我建议您的孩子可继续上英文阅读或科学课。
4. “Oxford Reading Tree"牛津阅读树”课程，重点强调阅读技能，这是英国儿童在小学阶段学习的同一课程。

如果有您喜欢的课程，请发信息告知我，如果没有，我很乐意评估您的孩子英文水平，并推荐最合适他们的课程。

欢迎家长来监督课堂。为了帮助您的孩子提高听力和发音技能，我建议最好不要重复我在课堂上给孩子提的问题和指令用语，让他们直接听地道的英文会更好。例如，告诉孩子一些“Listen to your teacher"听老师的话”之类的短语或者给孩子零食奖励等都是非常有帮助和值得称赞的做法！

为确保我们的线上课有良好的网络链接，我恳请您在和我预约课程时选择ZOOM方式。使用ZOOM教室不但允许共享屏幕和使用注释工具，还能提供小组课、绘画、音频和视频剪辑功能，而italki教室则无法一一满足这些网课所必须的功能和工具。

Children’s Classes 少儿课程  (Zoom)

Using images, music, videos, annotation tools, and gestures, I will immerse your child in the English language. 
The lessons are 100% in English. I use Bob Books in my class. You may wish to buy the Bob Books series for additional practice at home, but this is not necessary.
Throughout the class, I will focus on pronunciation and gently correct any mistakes your child may make.
This class is suitable for children between the ages of 3-6.

I kindly ask that my students select ZOOM when booking a class with me to ensure that we have a good connection. ZOOM also allows us to share our screens and use annotation tools.

Children's Phonics/ Alphabet course (Bob Books)

I taught Chinese Kindergarten and Grade 1 students reading, languages, arts, and social science using materials from Oxford University Press that are in line with the Common European Framework of References for languages (CEFR) as well materials from National Geographic Learning.

I have tutored for over 5000 hours on this platform teaching conversational English and IELTS classes. They can provide a reference stating my teaching hours and my current tutor rating.

• Collecting data from secondary pupils across Lancashire- leading questionnaire sessions and administering computer-based tasks. • Inputting questionnaire data using SPSS. • Liaising and writing with my supervisor Pamela Qualter regarding writing for our chapter in a textbook on Emotional Intelligence- we are writing a chapter about old age. • Completing administrative tasks for supervisor Kathryn

I have been teaching IELTS exam preparation for six years and I would love to continue. I have a TEFL certificate and a bachelor's degree. I've helped many students to pass this exam.

I was a kindergarten teacher at a well- known Chinese ESL school called Whales English. They trained me very well to deliver interactive and fun lessons to young learners of English.
