All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
1. My Techniques and Methodology
I utilise a Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, supplemented by Task-Based Learning. This means we spend less time on rote memorisation and more time on active production.
The "Double Perspective": Since I am trilingual, I can explain English nuances using Mandarin or Cantonese concepts to bridge the gap in your understanding.
Contextual Scenarios: We use real-world materials—such as banking reports, NHS medical forms, or business emails—to ensure the vocabulary you learn is immediately applicable.
Constructive Feedback: I provide real-time corrections on pronunciation and "Chinglish" habits, replacing them with natural, professional phrasing.
2. Typical Lesson Structure
Duration: Most lessons are 60 minutes. This is the "sweet spot" for maintaining high focus without mental fatigue.
Format: We spend the first 10 minutes on conversational warm-ups, 30 minutes on a core technical objective (e.g., a specific grammar point or business skill), and 20 minutes on interactive practice or role-play.
3. Qualifications and Experience
I bring a rare blend of corporate authority and linguistic precision:
Corporate Expertise: 20 years in Wholesale Banking at international firms in Hong Kong and China. I understand the language of leadership, negotiation, and finance.
Public Sector Experience: Active English/Chinese Interpreter for the NHS and social services, ensuring accuracy in high-pressure, sensitive environments.
Cultural Bridge: Native-level fluency in Mandarin and Cantonese, allowing me to anticipate and correct the specific challenges Chinese speakers face when learning English.
4. Who the Lessons are For
My lessons are specifically designed for Adult Learners (18+) and Professionals.
Levels: Intermediate to Advanced (B1 to C2).
Target Audience: * Expatriates: Those living in English-speaking countries needing to navigate healthcare or social systems.
Business Professionals: Bankers, managers, or entrepreneurs looking to polish their presentation and negotiation skills.
