English Lessons in Leeds. Amazing Teachers.

I have a Ph.D. in English Literature. I can teach Shakespeare and other writers of a different literary period- Explore ideas with the student, I can as well help with writing assignments, editing, and proofreading-I teach in college and know how to develop an essay.
As a translator and interpreter, I can help students with English as a second Language, and I understand the struggles to become fluent in the designated language.

I would really love the opportunity to help you improve your English abilities. I believe in using examples, scenarios, conversation and visual aids to keep the class interesting. I listen to students needs in order to let you guide the lesson topics to where your learning needs and goals will be achieved. I am just a subject matter expert and a facilitator of your learning. I believe strongly in the value of education, self-learning and continuous learning. You will be a better learner if you approach each topic from your interests and from a discovery approach. You may find that learning English while also learning about other topics (business, careers, hobbies, interests, travel, culture, etc.) makes it more valuable.

As a native English speaker, and as someone who has studied one of the most difficult languages in the world (Chinese), I know firsthand how difficult it can be to learn a new language; and more importantly, to be able to speak like natives do. As an English teacher, I make it my priority to teach students from all backgrounds how to sound like a native speaker, both in pronunciation as well as in grammar and correct native usage of words, expressions, and tonality. Books and YouTube videos can only get you so far on your path to English mastery! You need a native speaker with sensitivity to your personal needs and goals to help guide you on your path. So what are you waiting for?? Let's get started!!

Essay writing was my focus in college. Building a thesis, preparing rough draft, building a rough draft, organizing rough draft to ensure thesis is on target.

You will leave this class feeling at ease and you will be able to communicate in English!

I learned English as my second language when I was invited to study Music Performance at Dalhousie University on a full scholarship. As an ESL student I believe that I understand the intricacies of this language much better than a native speaker, since I had to learn it from scratch at University level. Through both of my degrees I have been writing academic papers and one of my essays was published by a Harvard professor. I am an avid lover of literature and a real grammar-nazi with good intensions of course!
