I am a graduate of the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Department of English. I am currently working as a teacher in Band 1 Secondary School and have over 10 years of private tutoring experience, having obtained a 5* in the English subject in the Diploma of Arts Examination and an 8 in the IELTS.
I am particularly good at helping middle-of-the-road students to break through bottlenecks.
無論你係中環區定其他地區嘅學生，我深信掌握方法係關鍵。
I will mark the essays carefully before each lesson and provide immediate and specific feedback, rather than deferring to the next lesson, so that students can make corrections and improvements immediately.
For example, we trained a student for 14 consecutive days and helped her IELTS essay score jump from 6.5 to 8 to meet the requirements for further studies.
As for DSE students, I put special emphasis on improving the performance in Paper 3 (Listening and General Skills), which is often the decisive point to raise the overall grade.
Apart from examination skills, I also emphasise on the development of students' English language skills and self-confidence.
I will train students to participate in English speech, personal speech and debate competitions, which will not only be useful but will also make their university interview resumes stand out.
I am happy to provide clear bilingual or full English notes, and students are always welcome to ask for help after class.
Teaching is not only my profession, but also my passion.
I would like to share my experience of learning English with the students to help them understand the requirements of the exams, and to calmly handle the tests and public exams, with the ultimate goal of enabling them to write and use English fluently and confidently in the future.
I had a one-minute trial lesson and my goal was to improve my IELTS Speaking in a short period of time, but Mr Chau was kind enough to understand my learning needs and immediately showed me the teaching arrangements for the rest of the lesson. In a short period of time, she quickly practised all three parts of speaking with me, and if there were any areas that I did not do well, she would immediately remind me and give me specific suggestions..

10 Ways to Improve Your English Language Skills
When we learn our mother tongue, first of alllisten,After thatexplain,After thatread,Finallywriting.Speaking and writingare the four language skills we need to develop in order to communicate fully.
Listening and reading improve through exposure:
i.e. you must be exposed to the real language being used. Speaking and writing is up to you: exportative, the act of producing language as part of the second language learning process.
Please use English as much as possible:
There is such a story.
There was a little girl who moved from a non-English speaking country to an English speaking country. For the first three months, she barely spoke, just listening to the people around her and trying to understand their language. At this stage, although she seems inactive, she is actually actively learning and adapting to the new environment. Then, one day, she suddenly started answering questions in English, surprising everyone. This story illustrates the importance of periods of silence and the ability to learn language through listening.
Stories are one of the phenomena that linguists often observe when studying language acquisition. Indeed, for learning a new language,Listening is one of the most basic and important ways of learning.
When people (especially children) are exposed to a new language, they often experience a process called "silent period"or"listening period” stage. During this stage, they may not speak much, but they are actively listening and learning, absorbing the sounds, vocabulary, and grammatical structures of the new language. This process is part of learning a language and is completely normal.
After a period of listening and internalizing, when the child begins to feel comfortable and confident enough, they will begin to speak the new language. This phenomenon of suddenly speaking is actually a natural expression of the language knowledge they accumulated during their silence.
Linguists believe that this kind of listening-based learning is critical because it helps learners understand the natural rhythm, intonation and contextual use of language. Furthermore, this also shows that language learning is a gradual process that requires time and patience.
Listen:
Listening plays a very important role in learning any language. Effective listening ensures understanding of other people’s messages and helps improve accuracy when speaking, etc.Active listening means not only paying attention to what is being said, but also paying attention to what is being said.
1. Listen to music
Old or modern; whichever genre you prefer, but pay attention to the lyrics. (Sometimes reading the lyrics can help you understand the song), or maybe try singing. When you are singing, you need to memorize the lyrics, which will also help you understand and remember English words.
2. Watch movies, TV series, news, entertainment, radio
If you can re-watch the movie multiple times, start by watching the subtitled version, and then turn off the subtitles when you feel like you're starting to remember the plot and lines.screen. In addition, you can listen to English broadcasts at home or on your mobile phone, which will help your ears get used to the sound of this language.
3. Participate in English plays, exhibitions, lectures, etc. in English schools or community organizations
An interesting and vivid English activity can stimulate brain nerves. When the brain is active, it is easier to remember things. If there is no such activity, maybe you can find aPersonal Tutor Assistance.
Spoken language:
Speaking is usually the hardest of the four language aspects, but as long as you speak a little English, there are plenty of ways to progress quickly and have a lot of fun.
4. Join voice chat
Nowadays, the Internet is very developed. No matter where you are, as long as you have time, try to join the voice chat of strangers, but remember not to disclose any real information and personal data, and also pay attention to network security matters to prevent anyone from trying to threaten you with this. you. You're just here to chat.
5. Speak and record yourself Speaking
Just like singing, it will help you understand the shortcomings of your pronunciation and any inconsistencies. Improve by repeating the recording several times until you are satisfied with the results of your speaking.
6. Talk to friends in English when not in class
Although not everyone has this condition, if you can make progress with your friends, you can even form a group to play P2P Online Games, eat or chat together. Congratulations, you will not be alone on the learning journey and you will learn quickly.
read:
This is a process of training the brain and it takes some time. Your brain reads and gives meaning to the words, phrases and expressions represented by the symbols, as well as understanding the grammar and structure of the language used in the text. You can read:
7. Read English books and online articles
Perhaps, you can read the books or novels you have read in Chinese in English. Start with the simplest books, maybe children's books and comics. Even if you don't know all the words, the images will help you understand, and from here you can understand the meaning of the language faster.
8. Switch the operating system of your phone, PC or tablet to English
You'll find that your phone's features are associated with a certain word, gradually increasing your Vocab volume. Any detail can become material for your study.
writing:
It takes a lot of perseverance to get used to writing, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. Just write down whatever you want to record in English, or if you are a blogger, try writing in English. No matter what, just start writing.
9. Write down the words or expressions you think are useful and their meanings and examples
If you see a word or phrase in a sentence that you don't know, write it down. You'll remember them better when you look back at them when you have free time. When you reach a stage and look back, you will feel satisfied. It turns out that you have come a long way.
10. Reply to English Blog
Many people use them to express their thoughts on a certain topic or to explain things. A common feature of all these blogs is that they are interactive. Even if you are not a fan of Blogger, you can still take the initiative to answer others. Don’t be afraid that you may use the wrong English words or have grammatical problems, because most of the time, the other person will not care. Please be bold in expressing rich words.
