Hello!

I’m May, an English/ESL Tutor with over 8 years of experience. My love for language and culture stems from being raised in a mixed-culture family, which has enriched my understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives.

I have a passion for travel and have been abroad 18 times, visiting countries like Cambodia, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the USA, and Vietnam. These experiences have broadened my horizons and deepened my cultural insights.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading and cooking, often experimenting with recipes from around the world. I’m also a proud cat mother of three adorable felines who keep me entertained.

In addition to my passion for languages, I have a background in the medical field and currently work in a laboratory. This unique combination of skills and interests allows me to connect with students from various backgrounds.

I speak three languages fluently and am always excited to learn more.

Interests:

Animals, Books, Culture, Food, Geography, Health and Wellness, Language, Music, Science, Teaching, Travel

Teaching Style:

My approach to tutoring is designed to be engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student’s unique needs and goals. Here’s what you can expect from my teaching style:

- Interactive and Student-Centered
I believe that active participation is key to learning a new language. My lessons are highly interactive, encouraging students to speak, write, and think in English as much as possible. I focus on creating a student-centered environment where your interests and goals shape our sessions.

- Cultural Immersion
Having traveled to 18 different countries and being raised in a mixed-culture family, I incorporate cultural insights into my lessons. This not only makes learning more interesting but also helps you understand the language in a broader context.

- Customized Learning Plans
Each student is unique, and so is my approach to teaching. I tailor my lessons to suit your specific needs, whether you’re preparing for an exam, improving your conversational skills, or mastering business English. We’ll set achievable goals and track your progress together.

- Practical and Relevant Materials
I use a variety of teaching materials, including authentic texts, multimedia resources, and real-life scenarios. This ensures that what you learn is practical and directly applicable to everyday situations.

- Supportive and Encouraging Environment
Learning a new language can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support and motivate you every step of the way. My aim is to build your confidence and help you enjoy the learning process.

- Flexible and Adaptable
Whether you prefer structured lessons or a more flexible approach, I adapt to your learning style. I offer both online and in-person sessions to accommodate your schedule and preferences.

- Passion for Learning
I’m not just a tutor; I’m a lifelong learner. My love for reading, cooking, and traveling enriches my teaching and keeps me connected with the ever-evolving world of language and culture.

Join me on this exciting journey to mastering English. Let’s make learning enjoyable and effective together!
