    About Edward L.

    4.8
    (8)
    *currently teaching only up to September 14* Engineering Major and have lived in three continents. I grew up speaking Mandarin and English, and my grandparents spoke Russian with me when I lived in China as a child. I grew up to be a strong language learner, being able to converse in about 8 languages. I have lived a year in Switzerland learning French, and self taught myself German prior to that. Lessons are taught to have students understand their true capability to learn on their own, and only need teachers for conversational practice and questions. With the COVID-19 going around, only online classes will take place. Nevertheless, it is probably the best time to learn a language right now!

    Experience

    Lifeguard Instructor

    Jul, 2018 - Present

    Watch The Pool

    As someone who enjoys teaching, I decided to fill up my weekend with this job by preparing the future generations of lifeguards to be well trained. Lifeguarding is something I'm really good at and interested in because of my history as a water polo player and swimmer. Giving constant demonstrations and public speaking as really increased my leadership and speaking skills.
