With a background in creative writing and journalism from UVic, I love helping K-12 students
master reading and writing skills. It’s rewarding to watch their skills improve over time before
my eyes. I also enjoy helping adults who are English Language Learners build their confidence in
speaking and comprehension. I can easily bridge gaps in understanding for Mandarin-speaking
students as I speak the language fluently. With all my students, I personalize my teaching
approach to meet their individual learning needs and goals.
My Approach to Teaching
I believe every student has the potential to succeed when given the right tools and support. My
approach combines patience, encouragement, and tailored strategies to meet each student’s
unique learning needs. Whether it’s building foundational skills or preparing for exams, I
prioritize fostering a love for learning above all else.
A Unique Blend of Expertise and Passion
I hold a background in journalism and creative writing from the University of Victoria.
With several years of experience, I have worked extensively with children as both a K-12
writing tutor and an Early Childhood Educator (ECE) in early learning centers.
Fluent in Mandarin, I offer translation support during lessons for ESL learners.
I specialize in K-12 Language Arts, including reading, writing, speaking, and spelling, due
to my lifelong love for the subject.
