Hello, my name is Amrin. Currently, I teach phonics, reading and oral communication to students aged 3-12 at a well-known learning center in HK. I am a post graduate from HKU in Medical Science and an ex-flight attendant with Cathay Pacific Airways.

While working with Cathay Pacific Airways, I had the privilege of attending workshops designed for trainers where I became aquatinted with essential training skills. I also conducted mock interviews for secondary school students. The purpose of this was to train them on using concise and effective language during formal interviews.

I have also been a student tutor at The University of Hong Kong, facilitating group discussions and conducting one-on-one classes for participants from varied educational backgrounds that included doctors and PhD students.

I truly enjoying training and am happy to work with children and adults. Teaching one-on-one helps me tailor it to the students needs. I believe a minimum of two consecutive classes is most useful so we can gauge the areas of focus needed in the first, build a relationship and work on them from the second. I also see huge benefits in group training as I encourage every participant to express their views and nurture their confidence in doing so.

My experience lies in tutoring phonics to young learners (3-5years), oral communication, simple conversational English, preparation for interviews, spelling, reading and pronunciation. If your concerns are outside this range but wish to work with me, please feel free to reach out and I will be happy to explore ways to help you.

On a personal level, I am enthusiastic, friendly, easy to connect with and guaranteed to remain patient throughout our learning process. I look forward to working with you. Read less

Phonics - I prepare worksheets depending on students current level that they can take home for practice. I use letter flash cards to review sounds every class, word flash cards to read simple words and maintain written observations that parents can refer to each class.

All other English classes - I discuss options with the student for a weekly/monthly topic. I plan exercises around the topic that involves listening, speaking, reading and comprehension. Read less
