About Me
italki teacher since Feb 5, 2020Me as a Teacher
I graduated in 2018 with a BA in English Professional Writing and a minor degree in HR Management. Throughout my four years as a university student, I was an intern assistant English instructor at an English Language Institute on my campus, where I assisted in teaching conversational English, English grammar, English writing, and reading.
After graduation, I returned to China to the city of Zhengzhou where I taught Business English and Conversational English at a university for two years. I was also a manager of an English Corner and received two awards for Outstanding Teacher of the Semester.
In August 2020, I received CELTA certification from Cambridge University. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons primarily focus on oral English and pronunciation, vocabulary building, and grammar comprehension. My teaching style is relaxed with a warm atmosphere, respect and hard-work is expected and praised, and productive feedback is provided throughout the lesson.
With my classes, students will become more confident with their English abilities through activities such as conversations and role-play. Students preparing for TOEFL, IELTS, and TOEIC are warmly welcomed.My teaching material

I had a great first lesson with Brandon. He was really patient, calm, and supportive. We had a really interesting conversation about some topics. Also, we touched on some grammar-related things which could quickly clarify those uncertain areas of my knowledge. I'm really looking forward to our next lesson! :)

He asked my learning purpose, then we discussed how to improve my English, now we are step by step working on learning. I am happy to have this tutor.
