“Learning should be enjoyable, practical, and tailored to you.”
Hi, I’m Vera! I teach English, Mandarin, and Business skills with patience and real-world experience. Whether you’re learning for travel, career, or personal growth, I’ll make sure every lesson is engaging, effective, and suited to your needs.

Tutoring Experience

I have several years of experience teaching English, Mandarin Chinese, and Business-related subjects to students from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, university students, and young learners. My teaching approach is highly student-centered, focusing on understanding each learner’s needs, goals, and preferred learning style.

In language teaching, I have helped beginners build a solid foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, as well as guided advanced learners in improving fluency, writing skills, and cultural understanding. For business-related subjects, I draw on my years of experience in accounting and entrepreneurship to create practical, real-world learning scenarios, such as business communication, presentations, negotiations, and financial literacy.

I have also supported students preparing for academic exams, job interviews, and professional certifications, providing them with structured study plans and constructive feedback to ensure measurable progress. My lessons are interactive, engaging, and adaptable — whether delivered online or face-to-face.

Through my teaching journey, I have learned that patience, encouragement, and clear communication are the keys to helping students achieve their full potential.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is personalized, practical, and results-oriented. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, so I start by understanding their goals, current level, and challenges. Based on this, I design tailor-made lesson plans that combine theory with real-life application.

For language lessons, I focus on interactive communication, encouraging students to speak, listen, read, and write in a natural and confident way. I integrate cultural insights to make learning more engaging and meaningful. For business-related topics, I use case studies, role-plays, and problem-solving exercises to help students apply knowledge in real-world contexts.

I create a supportive and encouraging learning environment, where mistakes are seen as opportunities to grow. I also provide regular feedback and progress tracking so students can see measurable improvements. My aim is not only to help students learn but also to inspire them to enjoy the process and become independent learners.
