My Teaching Approach
I generally recommend face-to-face lessons because they offer the best environment for developing pronunciation, speaking confidence and natural conversation. However, I also offer online lessons where appropriate, particularly for learners with an existing foundation or those who require greater flexibility.
My lessons are ideal for:
✅ Working professionals
✅ Expats living in Singapore
✅ New permanent residents
✅ Companies with workers who lack basic English conversational skills
✅ Senior citizens who enjoy lifelong learning
✅ Anyone who wants to speak English or Mandarin with greater confidence
Frequently Asked Questions
❓Do I need any Mandarin / English background?
➡️Not at all! Absolute beginners are welcome.
❓Why do you generally recommend face-to-face lessons?
➡️I believe the best language learning happens when teacher and student are sitting across from each other, particularly for beginners and learners who want to improve their pronunciation and speaking confidence. Face-to-face lessons allow me to identify and correct pronunciation, diction and speaking habits immediately, while also adapting my teaching based on your reactions and understanding. They create a more natural and engaging learning environment that helps students build confidence more quickly.
That said, I understand that some learners may prefer the convenience of online lessons. For intermediate and advanced learners, or where circumstances require, online lessons can also be arranged.
❓Where are lessons conducted?
➡️Lessons are primarily conducted face-to-face at mutually convenient locations like cafes, libraries and community spaces across Singapore. Home or workplace lessons may also be arranged, depending on location and availability.
For students who prefer greater flexibility, online lessons are also available, particularly for those with an existing foundation in English or Mandarin.
❓How long is each lesson?
➡️Lessons can range from 60, 90 or 120 minutes, depending on your goals and availability.
❓Do you provide learning materials?
➡️Yes. Lesson materials are tailored to your learning objectives and provided during the course.
❓Can friends learn together?
➡️Absolutely! If you'd like to learn with a friend, colleague or family member, you're welcome to do so. Learning together can be motivating, enjoyable and a great way to build confidence while practising with one another.
❓Do you teach children?
➡️My current focus is helping adult learners improve their practical English and Mandarin communication skills.
Beyond the Classroom
Beyond the Classroom
Learning has always been part of my life.
Besides teaching English and Mandarin, I enjoy preserving Singapore's history through collecting vintage movie tickets, newspapers and magazines. This passion has led to features on CNA Lifestyle , The Straits Times, 联合早报(Lianhe Zaobao), 新明日报(Shin Min Daily News) and On The Red Dot documentary series.
I believe curiosity never stops, and that same curiosity is something I hope to inspire in every student.
