English as a foreign Language
I obtained a TEFL qualification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) in 2011, and have had many years of experience teaching English as a foreign language to both children and adults since then. I am aware of the common issues that students encounter when learning English and am able to offer solutions and learning strategies to support you.

Mandarin
I obtained my certificate to teach Mandarin from Beijing Language & Culture University, and am passionate about this language and the exciting world it opens up to those who can speak it. I have been fortunate enough to have spent time in China as both a language student and a teacher, and have therefore had ample experience learning this language and communicating with it in daily life. I am aware of the common challenges this language poses to students, and can therefore offer practical advice and exercises to help you to improve your Mandarin Chinese and gain confidence with this language.

French
I completed my Honours degree in Teaching French as a Foreign Language (TFFL) a few years ago, and have had experience tutoring French to students of various levels. Having studied French as a second language, I have had first-hand experience with the challenges this language can pose to students, and can offer practical support to help you along your learning path.
