Personal Description:

I am a student of MA in Education in the University of Bath. I am from Beijing, China. I am interested in languages and have my own understanding to language learning because I used to be and still am a language learner.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe each student is different. There cannot be a universal approach for everyone of them. That is the charm of tutoring in my view. According to the students' levels and requirements, I will design the appropriate teaching and learning approach to them. Overall, I do not advocate the approach that is oriented by exams, though sometimes we have to.
