Connecting Across Cultures: The Practical Use of English

From 163 C$ /h

English is widely used as a common language in international business, education, and online communication. For students as young as 6, learning English opens doors to knowledge, as many educational resources, websites, and international programmes use English as a main language. It helps young learners access information, build confidence, and communicate with peers from different parts of the world.

For adults, including those up to 65 and beyond, English remains equally important. It supports career development, travel, and lifelong learning. In many workplaces, English is used for communication, meetings, and professional writing. Being able to understand and use English can improve job opportunities and make it easier to work in international environments.

Beyond work and study, English also enriches daily life. It allows people to enjoy films, books, news, and online content in their original form. Most importantly, it helps build connections—whether through friendships, cultural exchange, or global collaboration.

In a rapidly changing world, English is not just a subject to learn, but a practical tool that supports communication, understanding, and personal growth at every stage of life.

About Me

I am an experienced English language educator with a solid track record in higher education, responsible for designing and leading programmes that respond to changing learner and institutional needs. I take a practical approach to curriculum development, classroom delivery, and learner support, with a clear focus on outcomes and standards.

Before moving into education, I worked in marketing management and corporate communications within established financial institutions. That experience shaped my discipline in planning, communication, and stakeholder management; skills I continue to apply when leading classes, coordinating programmes, and working with colleagues across functions.

My transition into education was a deliberate career decision. It has strengthened my resilience, judgment, and ability to work with people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. I value consistency, professionalism, and steady improvement in daily work.

Education

University of Cambridge
Cambridge ESOL Teaching Awards – Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (2010)

University of Leicester
Master of Arts (M.A.) Mass Communications (2005)

Experience / Qualifications

I bring over two decades of experience teaching Academic and Business English across a wide range of educational settings. My work includes designing curricula, developing teaching materials, and delivering courses tailored to different learner goals. I have worked with highly diverse groups, from secondary school students preparing for further study to professionals seeking career advancement and retirees learning for personal enrichment. This diversity has shaped my ability to adjust teaching strategies, content, and pace to suit varying abilities and expectations.

In addition, I am currently a columnist for a Chinese newspaper, where I write a regular column aimed at motivating and teaching everyday English to Hong Kong primary school students. This role allows me to translate language concepts into accessible and engaging content for younger learners.

My teaching approach combines practical communication skills with a strong academic foundation, ensuring that learners can apply English effectively in both study and workplace contexts. I place particular emphasis on clarity, structure, and purposeful language use.

Earlier in my career, I gained experience in marketing and corporate communications within the financial sector. This professional background continues to inform my teaching, especially in Business English, where real-world relevance, precision, and audience awareness are essential.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Each lesson is fully personalized according to the student's level, objectives, and needs. My method is based on a progressive and interactive approach, in order to develop both knowledge and self-confidence.

A typical lesson begins with a discussion to identify any difficulties encountered and review previous concepts. We then work on the essential points (grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension, written and oral expression) through tailored exercises and role-playing scenarios. At the end of the session, we review progress and set objectives for the next lesson.

As an engineer, I bring a rigorous, organized, and efficient work method. I favor a supportive, attentive, and results-oriented teaching approach. My goal is not only to help my students improve their grades but also to give them the tools and methods to become more independent in their learning.

My courses are aimed at middle and high school students, as well as adults wishing to learn English regardless of their level: refresher courses, academic support, preparation for tests, the brevet or the baccalaureate, as well as students wishing to strengthen their oral fluency or consolidate their English foundations.

As soon as you book your session, don't worry about your child's homework.

Fun lessons led by educational games, to learn grammatical rules, verb conjugation and especially communication.
