Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong $120/hr
Experienced and passionate English language teacher in Happy Valley!
Passionate English teacher with 22 years' experience in local and international schools in Hong Kong. My aim is to prepare children to soar with confidence and discover their potential.
I teach various classes, such as phonics, reading comprehension, creative writing, grammar, and assessment preparation for local and international schools, including UK 7+ and 11+. I have successfully prepared my past students for their 7+ and 11+ examinations. Develop and execute creative, constructive lesson plans per the EYFS and the British National curriculum. Deliver tailored, dynamic, effective, and engaging lessons. Geography, history, literature, and global citizenship are intertwined in the English lessons, according to the student's level, to expand their general knowledge and awareness of the world around them.
Liaise with the school teacher (if necessary with parents' permission) to assist and build up the child's foundation of English in alignment with the school's curriculum. Assessment/Quiz preparations for children in local and international schools. Engage and expand children's reading and writing repertoire with my passion for language and varied resources tailored to each child's level, guiding learners towards learning goals.
Communicate openly with parents regarding ongoing observations and evaluate and report their child's progress with recommendations as needed. Listen to the child to discern the emotions behind certain behaviours and engage in dialogue to reassure the child that her/his concerns and thoughts are valuable. Use discernment to share what is relevant to parents' knowledge and respect the child's need for privacy and confidentiality. Explore options, develop strategies and increase self-awareness of issues that the child and I can work through to build confidence and independence, which will help them to overcome any academic 'barriers'.
After each lesson, written reports will be sent to parents to ensure we work together as a team with the child's best interest at heart. Sabbath rest: Sat 12 pm-Mon 12 pm.
