I am a TEFL graduate from England and have 13 years of IELTS teaching experience in Hong Kong and China. I am very familiar with the IELTS structure and therefore am an IELTS mock examiner and I hold many mock exams and classes each month around Hong Kong and Mainland China. With my IELTS knowledge, I train students vigorously to help them get a good grade in their IELTS exam. Apart from the IELTS, I also teach conversational English to various levels of students from Primary 1-6 students, university students and business English to the workplace.

My specialities are conversational courses, primary and secondary students, IELTS speaking exam preparation, conversational Business English and Beginners English.

I aim to provide students with a good level of introduction to language teaching and cross-cultural awareness through workshop sessions, also personal interaction with students who have a first language other than English. 

I look forward to working with my new team improving peoples English day by day.
