PGCE-Certified Native English Teacher for Young Learners in Hong Kong Island & Kowloon Tong
I am a fully qualified and passionate English educator dedicated to helping young learners in Hong Kong build confidence, strong foundational skills, and a genuine love for the English language.
My Qualifications & Experience
I hold a UK Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) — a professional teaching qualification that has been officially assessed and verified by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic & Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ). This means my credentials meet the rigorous standards required for teacher registration in Hong Kong. I also hold an Advanced TESOL Certification, specializing in teaching English to young learners.
With over 6 years of teaching experience within Hong Kong's diverse educational landscape — including roles in local primary schools and international programs — I have developed a deep understanding of how to support students aged 2-12 in their English language journey. I have worked extensively with children from Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking backgrounds, helping them build phonics skills, reading fluency, creative writing abilities, and oral confidence.
My Teaching Approach
I believe that children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely engaged. My teaching style is:
Joyful & Student-Centered: I design lessons that spark curiosity and encourage active participation. Learning should never feel like a chore.
Visually Engaging: My background in visual communications allows me to create custom, colorful resources — graphic organizers, picture cards, interactive worksheets — that make concepts clear and memorable for young minds.
Mistake-Friendly: I create a classroom culture where mistakes are celebrated as essential steps in learning. This builds resilience and the confidence to try, fail, and try again.
Structured & Goal-Oriented: While keeping lessons fun, I maintain clear learning objectives and track progress closely, ensuring parents can see tangible results.
My Ideal Classroom
My ideal learning space is warm, welcoming, and visually stimulating — filled with plants, colorful materials, and inspiring words. I believe that the environment matters deeply, and I strive to create spaces where children feel comfortable, relaxed, and excited to learn.
Who I Teach
I specialize in working with:
Early Learners (Ages 2-5): Play-based phonics, pre-reading skills, vocabulary building through stories and songs
Primary Students (Ages 6-12): Reading comprehension, creative and academic writing, grammar foundations, oral presentation skills, and school curriculum support
Where I Teach:
I am based in Tai Po and travel regularly to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Tong for in-person sessions. Online lessons are also available via Zoom for families who prefer remote learning.
