Teachers

Hello! I'm Emma. I’m an experienced ESL teacher, based in China since early 2015, teaching young Chinese learners, teenagers, young adults, and adults. My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest and supportive atmosphere, where each student feels motivated to progress. I believe I’m a compassionate teacher that remains sensitive to the needs of the students, as well as the expectations of their parents. In my current position as an English teacher at Ningbo City College, I’ve been developing fun, easily comprehensive lessons and stimulating thematic units. I regularly conduct one-on-one speaking exams and have mastered helping students remove their blockages and shyness, which is very typical for many students. I’m also very familiar with aspects of the English language that most students struggle with, as well as methods and techniques that help them improve. After more than five years of full-time teaching, I still find this career to be the most gratifying and rewarding. Seeing not only my students’ English improves, but also their mood, attitude and overall confidence inspires me to constantly self-reflect and improve as a teacher, too. I believe that all of my experience, professional attitude, and charisma make me a valuable contribution to your educational platform. I hope to speak to you soon!
