I am a recent college graduate from Yale University, eager to use the language skills I've gained from my education to help others with their English. As I have received extensive training in the written word and have worked previously in the editing industry, I am especially happy to help those working to improve writing skills.
In addition to English (my native language), I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and can help students working to improve their Mandarin as well. I can speak basic Japanese too, if beginner students would like to use Japanese language to supplement to their study.
My teaching philosophy involves tailoring each lesson/course of study to each students' needs, which I will develop in consultation with students. Regardless of the specifics of each course, I aim to use as many native English-language media sources as possible -- such as news, videos, books, reports, comics, etc. For students interested in American culture and society, these sources will also help offer an insight into life in the U.S. as well.
Whether it's improving daily conversation skills, working to write a business report, or learning English to watch your favorite television show, I am eager to help! I am also qualified to teach test preparation for the SAT, GRE and TOEFL examinations.
Please feel free to get in touch, and let me know if you have any questions! Looking forward to working with you!
