ABOUT ME

I have been teaching professionally since 2010, though my journey began even before I finished my degree. My first teaching experience was at my alma mater, where I worked as both a substitute teacher and a trainee. Right after graduating in 2010, I was hired as part of the teaching staff. I stayed there for two years before starting my private tutorial services, which thrived for another two years. That same year, I passed the licensure exam and officially became a licensed professional teacher.

In 2013, I volunteered as a kindergarten teacher at a government institution, and a year later I secured a permanent teaching position in a nearby town. I spent the next seven years there as a kindergarten teacher. When the pandemic hit, I decided to shift my focus and pursue TEFL and TESOL certifications, which led me to ESL teaching.

ME AS A TEACHER

In my early years of teaching, I handled students across different grade levels, focusing mainly on language and history. Although English is not the first language in our country, the school required everyone—both staff and students—to speak English at all times. Working in a private institution also gave me the opportunity to build strong connections with students and their parents.

After two years, I expanded my private tutorial services, specializing in English reading and writing for students aged 5 to 16. The students and parents appreciated my work so much that it was difficult for me to step away when I joined the public school system.

I served in government schools for a total of eight years—one as a volunteer and seven as a permanent teacher. I was assigned to a kindergarten class, but I still made it a point to introduce English early on. I believed it was important for children to develop confidence in the language from the start. Parents were always delighted to hear their children pronounce English words correctly.

When the pandemic brought major changes, I transitioned to ESL teaching full-time. I earned my TEFL certification and began working with Chinese learners as young as three years old. Teaching English has always been both enjoyable and rewarding for me.

MY LESSONS AND TEACHING STYLE

As an ESL teacher, I begin each class by assessing my students’ skills from the very start of our interaction. This helps me choose the most effective approach for their needs. I always tailor my lessons to match their level.

Since I have extensive experience teaching young learners, I know how to keep them engaged, motivated, and active throughout the lesson. I like to bring a playful yet structured style into the classroom to keep learning enjoyable.

With more advanced students, I encourage them to do most of the speaking while I provide support through ideas, suggestions, and corrections. I pay close attention to pronunciation and emphasize full English immersion, as I believe this is one of the best ways to achieve fluency.
