Enthusiastic Native English Teacher (speaks Cantonese)

From 143 C$ /h

Hello! My name is Deanna, I am an English Native speaker that is of mixed heritage (Half Chinese, Half English). I speak Cantonese as my second language and basic mandarin. I am a recent graduate that previously studied Professional Musicianship at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. Then went on to complete the 120 hour TEFL certificate.

I offer English lessons to both adults and children aged 3+. I was previously a primary school English teacher teaching in Hangzhou last year, mainly focusing on teaching phonics and pronunciation. Then, came to Hong Kong last July and now teach group English classes for a company as well as my own private students.

My lessons always cater to each individual student’s needs, where I will create a tailored lesson plan around what my students are looking to achieve or follow the material that is provided to me. Whether you are a student simply looking to polish up and improve your speaking/listening skills with a Native speaker or you would like your child to focus on learning phonics, English grammar, Exam prep etc.

My aim is to provide guidance and develop each of my student's English skills so that they may achieve their personal full potential. Whilst encouraging my students to feel more confident in using their English on a day to day basis. I am a patient, fun-loving and motivating teacher that firmly believes each student should always enjoy our lessons, learn at their own pace and get the most out of our lessons together.

For my younger students (ages 3-5) I would suggest group class lessons of 2+ students, in which we would incorporate more games and activities so that the students can work together and help one another. Whereas, for my students (ages 6+) I would recommend 1-1 lessons as each student has their own learning progress, thus it is beneficial to have an individual program designed specifically for each individual student.

Please note, I do not offer at home services anymore. All lessons are based at my centre Language Melodies Education located in Wan Chai.

Please feel free to get in touch for more details or questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

Prior to this, I was at a learning center for a year which allowed me the opportunity to teach diverse learners aged 3-13. I am deeply passionate about teaching and educating young learners. With many family members in the teaching world, I grew up with the first-hand experience of the impact that a passionate teacher can make in the lives of young learners.

As an educator with over 8 years experience working across schools in 3 countries I passionately believe that students learn best when you bring their learning to life for them.

My additional specialism in PE has enabled me to create a program for learning language that allows students to build their English skills in an active and engaging manner.

If we want students to LOVE and not simply LEARN language then we need to create opportunities for that which go beyond conventional textbook.

I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about how I can help your child make those first steps in English or take it to the next level!
