About Yanlin
I am a PhD student in Education at the University of Ottawa, with a Master’s degree in Economics and Education from Columbia University and previous study experience in Japan. My diverse international academic background allows me to understand language learning from cross-cultural, educational, and economic perspectives.
I am patient, detail-oriented, and highly experienced in working with multilingual learners. Having studied in multiple countries, I fully understand the challenges of acquiring academic English, building confident oral expression, and adapting to Western learning systems.
My teaching style is supportive, structured, and stress-free. I combine professional educational theory, analytical training from my Columbia program, and practical learning strategies to help students improve reading comprehension, logical speaking skills, and master effective SAT test-taking techniques.
I tailor every lesson to your unique level, strengthen your weak areas, and help you build sustainable, long-term English ability rather than temporary memorization. Whether you want to improve daily English fluency, polish academic expression, or achieve higher SAT scores, I will guide you step by step to steady and visible progress.
I love helping students grow more confident, independent, and strategic learners. I look forward to supporting your English journey!

My lessons are fully-customized one-on-one sessions built around your personal goals, current level and learning pace. Drawing on my PhD training in Education, I avoid rote memorization and focus on building practical language competence and critical-thinking skills.
For reading practice, we break down complex passages step-by-step, analyze text structures, identify key arguments and work through comprehension traps. For oral expression, we practice structured output, address logical gaps in speech, and build your confidence to speak clearly.
For SAT prep and test-oriented training, we go through real test questions, summarize exam patterns, master question-solving strategies and target your weak points. Each class comes with clear learning objectives, targeted practice tasks, and detailed feedback. I also track your long-term progress so you can see tangible improvements.
Lessons are welcoming and low-pressure. Supportive learning environment is guaranteed.
