Chinese is one of my top subjects!

I have accumulated several years of experience teaching English as a Second Language both in the US and abroad. I also have over a year of experience teaching elementary Chinese. I especially interested in English composition and writing, which is a crucial skill no matter what field you're interested in.
I place an emphasis on active learning -- learning is about building confidence and having fun! (Check out my website: Red Elephant Tutoring.com)

In my own experience, the key to learning has been to find a "critical link:" that is, to figure out an angle that makes sense to my brain.

More About This Tutor...

Born and raised in Hong Kong, I was very driven to excel in education. Success in higher education is the key to opportunities in such a competitive city. As the oldest child in the family, I had been tutoring my younger siblings at a very young age. I started private tutoring since high school to support my own education.

I am fluent in English and Chinese (Cantonese).
I believe every child is curious in nature and loves to learn. Sometimes, a child will begin to lose interest and subsequently fall behind at school because he / she encount ... read more
