"I love teaching young children and elementary students; I specialize in ESL, phonics, reading, English grammar, writing, math, and elementary subjects.

I hold a bachelor's degree and had taught my own five children math, reading, and writing before they entered public school. They all did exceptionally well. Later, I homeschooled them for several years and now the eldest three have either finished university education or are currently pursuing university studies.

Teaching is one of the things I enjoy most—to impart knowledge to the students and help them, guide them and eventually see them to be at their best is a most enjoyable and satisfying experience. I set for myself high standards and often raise the bars for my students whenever it is appropriate such that they also set a higher expectation for themselves.

I love working with young children; I love discovering their potential and see them blossom, learn and excel on their own as they take off on their own learning path.

I am bilingual, fluent in both English and Chinese. I had tutored an ESL student who was sent to me because the student's school teacher was concerned about his academic progress. He later succeeded in testing out of the ESL program and into regular stream. He even was admitted into a science and technology middle school for gifted students.

I teach out of the comfort of my home where many resources are available. Yet, I will be happy to travel to another location if it is more convenient to the student. I try to be flexible with time. I appreciate a 24-hour cancellation notice and I make up any lessons I have missed." less...
