About Me
Introduction:
I have been teaching English in China and Online for the past 3 yrs, I enjoy teaching children and adults of all ages. I always make my classes fun. In my online classes I always make use of TPR, modelling and props to make the students better understand what they are being taught. I also make use of songs and chants to make students remember what they would have been taught. I love children.
I also enjoy traveling, meeting different people from different backgrounds and learning about different cultures.
