I am a driven young teacher located in Tai Ping Shan on Hong Kong Island. I hold a CertTESOL qualification from English for Asia, which includes training for one-on-one tutoring. I have been accepted to pursue a degree at the University of Bristol. My teaching experience comes from my qualification, as well as from my time building my English skills while studying both A-level language and Literature at Sherborne School. Additionally, I gained experience as a Cadet teacher during my time in the United Kingdom’s Combined Cadet Force.

My teaching experience includes:

- Learner Teacher during the CertTESOL course, English for Asia (EFA) in Hong Kong. This four-week intensive course provided me with comprehensive knowledge of English language teaching across all age groups and settings. It involved 6 one-hour lessons to learners, which were observed, graded, and tailored to target speaking, vocabulary, receptive skills, grammar, and other essential areas. During this course, I was responsible for producing lesson plans for one-on-one tutoring and group class lessons, grading work, providing corrections and explanations, creating specialized lessons based on individual learners' needs, and designing a 6-lesson plan for future independent study. I also explained the intricacies of English speakers' accents that can pose challenges for native Cantonese speakers. I believe this experience has prepared me well for tutoring in Hong Kong.

- Chief Warrant Officer and other ranks in the Combined Cadet Force at Sherborne School in Sherborne, Dorset. Beginning in 2020, I dedicated hours of my week and weekends to the CCF and eventually became head of the Royal Navy section. This position involved educating junior cadets on a military curriculum including operating cadet rifles, ship recognition, and small craft sailing skills. This early teaching experience, involving maintaining students' attention and planning lessons and activities for three-hour sessions, has prepared me well for future work in English teaching.
