Private English tutor in Canberra

Teacher joined in May, 2023

请看下面的中文翻译! I have taught English to Chinese students from primary school to postgraduate level, as well as teaching other LOTEs to English speakers for over 20 years now. My passion for Chinese is eclipsed only by my passion for using grammatically correct and beautiful English! I have a Bachelor of Asian Studies majoring in Chinese (Mandarin) and Chinese Studies and am now studying my Master of Asian Pacific Studies. I also hold a Diploma of Government and Certificate IV in Indonesian. I worked as a linguist in the Navy for almost twelve years, and have travelled throughout Asia as well as North America. I am also a qualified volunteer working for the Adult Migrant English Program - I teach English to migrants who have arrived here with little to no English in order to help them succeed in learning English. I have a holistic approach to understanding, and integrating, with Australian communities, the lifestyle and cultural norms. I am experienced in preparing you for Permanent Residency English exams, and also accomplished at assisting with job applications and labour market research. I first taught English at a boarding school in Xi'an (China) in 1999, after which I then taught postgraduate English at Wuhan Technical University (武汉科技大学). I am accomplished at reviewing and revising essays/written English, and I offer basic editing through to comprehensive revision and feedback to enable you to become confident using academic English in your schoolwork/degree. I also thoroughly enjoy building your confidence for both formal and everyday conversation. I strongly believe in 'field trips' to local attractions, not only to introduce you to Canberra as a city that I love and have chosen to live in, but also to give you contextual English relevant to your needs and interests. For instance, I enjoy the art of bonsai and penjing, so taking students to the National Penjing & Bonsai Collection of Australia is very enjoyable for me. I also have organised to meet at the National Gallery of Australia and local art galleries (to discuss art terminology), Pialligo for the nurseries for those who enjoy gardening in their spare time, or even the airport for those who wish to focus on discussions around currency conversion, car hire, and so on. Visits to stores 🏬 and monthly markets to learn how to bargain and understand culturally acceptable practices regarding money 💰🤑💴 (such as asking for discounts and bargaining) is very helpful to those from countries where this is the norm, because in Australia it is not common! 😮👍🏻 Whatever your specific needs, I can assess your language level and design your program based around your desired focus and/or any textbooks you have (for school/university). While I am more accustomed to assisting Chinese students, I have been helping foreigners improve their English since we had our first exchange student at age 14, and I am probably just as interested in learning about your country and culture as you are in English! ☺️ I have a Working With Vulnerable People registration (also known as a blue card) within the ACT - which means the Australian Federal Police deem me a safe person to teach! 🫠👌🏻😊 20 多年来,我一直在为中国学生教授英语,并为说英语的人教授其他 LOTE。我对中文的热情仅被我对使用语法正确且优美的英语的热情所掩盖!我拥有亚洲研究学士学位,主修中文(普通话)和中国研究,现在正在攻读亚太研究硕士学位。我还持有政府文凭和印度尼西亚语四级证书。我在海军担任语言学家将近 12 年,足迹遍及亚洲和北美。 1999 年,我首先在西安(中国)的一所寄宿学校教英语,之后在武汉科技大学教研究生英语。 我擅长审查和修改论文/书面英语,我提供基本的编辑到全面的修改和反馈,使您能够自信地在您的学业/学位中使用学术英语。我有一个整体的方法来理解和融入澳大利亚社区、生活方式和文化规范。我在帮助您准备永久居留英语考试方面经验丰富,并且在协助工作申请和劳动力市场研究方面也很有成就。 我也非常喜欢在正式和日常对话中建立您的信心。我坚信对当地景点的“实地考察”,不仅是为了向您介绍堪培拉这个我热爱并选择居住的城市,而且还为您提供与您的需求和兴趣相关的上下文英语。例如,我喜欢盆景和盆景艺术,所以带学生参观澳大利亚国家盆景和盆景收藏对我来说是一件很愉快的事情。我还组织了在澳大利亚国家美术馆和当地美术馆会面(讨论艺术术语),Pialligo 为那些在业余时间喜欢园艺的人提供了托儿所,甚至为那些希望集中讨论周围的人在机场举行了会议货币兑换、汽车租赁等。参观超市和月度市场以学习如何讨价还价并了解有关要求折扣和处理金钱的文化上可以接受的做法,这对那些来自以这种方式为常态的国家/地区的人非常有帮助,因为在澳大利亚这并常见! ^_^ 无论您有什么具体需求,我都可以评估您的语言水平并根据您想要的重点和/或您拥有的任何教科书(学校/大学)设计您的课程。 虽然我更习惯于帮助中国学生,但自从我们在 14 岁有了我们的第一个交换生以来,我一直在帮助外国人提高他们的英语,我可能和你对英语一样有兴趣了解你的国家和文化! ^_^ 我目前在 ACT 内拥有与弱势群体合作登记(也称为蓝卡)——这意味着澳大利亚联邦警察认为我是一个安全的教学人员! 🫠👌🏻😊

Why Learning English With A Private English Tutor?

TUTOROO works with a community of over 4,500 private English teachers in more than 150 cities. Our English tutors help their students improve their English skills by providing them with personalised online and in-person lessons. The internet is full of helpful resources for non-native English speakers to learn English, with materials for all levels in order to improve one's vocabulary or English grammar. So why would you need to hire a private English teacher to learnEnglish?

First, private English tutors are able to meet specific English learning needs that static online resources may not always provide. With one-on-one English lessons , you can easily progress towards English language fluency. Students can choose to focus their lessons on grammar exercises, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, reading comprehension, speaking practice, and more.

Below are some of the benefits of learning English with an English teacher with TUTOROO:

1. Best English Tutors for Kids, Teens and Adults

One-on-one English tuition with a private English teacher allows you to have the undivided attention you deserve. Private English classes are customised to your learning goals and your rhythm. Perhaps you are interested specifically in business English, conversational English, or private lessons for your kids - an English tutor can customise your English lessons to meet your needs and help you improve your skills thanks to real-world lessons from a native speaker.

When you learn English with a TUTOROO tutor, you get direct answers to all of your questions, this helps you improve your language skills faster in areas you struggle with, from pronunciation and vocabulary to other grammar issues. A private English teacher can immediately identify your mistakes and correct your inaccuracies. You get to ask direct questions when things aren't clear and obtain immediate answers from them.

For example, for non-native English speakers, the English language can sometimes be contradictory. For example, the 'ch' in 'chair' is pronounced differently from the 'ch' in 'chiffon'. The 'th' in 'thumb' is pronounced differently from the 'th' in 'that'. A private English teacher can help you avoid these common pitfalls to achieve English language success and gain strong English communication skills.

In a nutshell, learning English with a TUTOROO tutor is much more fun and interesting than just watching online videos or learning online through tutorials. You may now improve your English skills with our online and in-person private tutors. We actually help students from around the world improve their English skills.

2. Learning English From Scratch

Everyone learns a new language at a different pace and some even start learning from scratch and have no previous knowledge of the new language they wish to learn. One may be great at English grammar but be struggling over pronunciation, or at the contrary excel in conversational English but struggle with reading and writing. In a group class, the tutor will move on if the majority of the class understands. With one-on-one private English courses, your English teacher works at the pace you are comfortable with, and can also adapt their teaching methods for you.

3. Working Around Your Schedule

Unusual scheduling needs? Preparing for an English proficiency test? Need intensive English classes? No problem, you can work with your TUTOROO English teacher to find a timing and frequency that suits you for your English tuition. With a private tutor, you can take classes according to your schedule. Improve your English skills by learning from native speakers. This way, you're 100% flexible.

When you learn English with a teacher, you get flexibility, customised lessons and you get to meet a bright and interesting person: your new private tutor!

Why Learning English?

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, it is also used as a second language by millions of people around the globe. English has been used as an international language since the 17th century.

The English Language is recognised as the official language in about 67 different countries. Additionally, more than 27 non-sovereign entities regularly use English as an administrative or conversational language. It is the official language of many world institutions like NATO, the European Union and the United Nations. Close to a third of the world's population (some 2 billion people) now use English, giving it the position of a global lingua franca.

With TUTOROO you may now learn English with a private English teacher in the following locations:

Is English a Difficult Language to Learn?

The English Language is regarded as one of the most difficult languages to learn for non-native English speakers. Its grammatical rules are often broken, spelling and pronunciation irregularities can even confuse native speakers. With the help of a private English teacher, you can overcome the difficulties of the English language and achieve full English language fluency. Improve your English skills now with an English tutor.

What are the Most Popular English Tests?

As a non-native English speaker, many higher education schools or universities where English is the standard language of teaching will require you to take an English proficiency test. This test is proof of your English language ability and ensures you have the necessary oral, aural and writing skills to complete your course. Don't let a language barrier stop you from achieving your dreams. Hire a private English language teacher to help you prepare for your English proficiency test.

The two most common tests are the TOEFL or IELTS:

TOEFL (The Test of English as a Foreign Language) is the most common English proficiency test. There are two formats for writing TOEFL and you can choose your preferred format: an internet-based test or a paper-delivered test. The sections in the test include listening comprehension, written expression, reading comprehension and speaking. The test takes about 3 hours to complete and the result is valid for two years. Most universities require that you score between 90 to 100 (B2). However, some universities may require that you attain a minimum score in each section while meeting the B2 proficiency requirement.

IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) is another widely recognised English proficiency test. The test has two versions which are the academic version and the general training version. Most employers and universities worldwide accept the academic version, while the general training version is accepted by government institutions and used for immigration.

The first 3 sections of the IELTS - listening, reading and writing - lasts 2 hours 40 mins. The last component is a speaking test done in the presence of an examiner. IELTS scores range between 1 and 9 with universities requiring a minimum of 6 or 7. The minimum score is equivalent to C1 and B2 proficiency levels. You can get your IELTS results 13 days after the test and the result is valid for two years.

Although not as common as IELTS or TOEFL, CAE (Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English) and CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English) are often an admission requirement for UK universities. Usually, only people at an advanced English level can take CAE and CPE. They are in-depth, high-level qualifications that demonstrate an English proficiency level of C1 - 7 to 8 in IELTS or 110 to 120 in TOEFL. You can take CAE and CPE either on your computer or in person. Like the other tests, the CAE and CPE tests reading, writing, listening and speaking. The speaking section of the test will be done with another candidate to test fluency in face-to-face situations. Unlike TOEFL and IELTS, CAE and CPE certificates don't expire. The highest grade is an A and the lowest score in CAE and CPE is C, with most universities requiring a minimum of B for admission.

Can My English Tutor Prepare Me For English Proficiency Tests?

TUTOROO works with many English tutors who are available and specialised in training for some of these tests. By browsing our English private tutor profiles, you will be able to find tutors who specialise in test preparation for English proficiency tests. You are also able to contact the tutor directly with any queries and choose the private English tutor that best fits your needs.

TUTOROO only hires tutors that get the work done. By this, we mean that learners and students pass their English proficiency test after being coached by a TUTOROO private tutor.

How Soon Can I Become Fluent In English?

This must be our most popular question! With the help of a teacher and with private English lessons, learning English is much easier, quicker and more enjoyable. Of course, being motivated and focused comes in handy when learning a new language. With both online or face-to-face lessons and if you have the motivation to study a couple of hours every day, a private English teacher will help you become fluent in English in as little as 6 months!

Be patient, fluency in English is not something anyone acquires overnight. The process takes time and requires enthusiasm, that's why hiring a private tutor that can customise your English lessons to your interests and needs is important. Furthermore, face-to-face and online English lessons give you an opportunity to converse and practise your newly acquired English language skills.

Being motivated and focused comes in handy when you're learning a new language. If you have enough time to study English with a private tutor, you can become fluent in just around six months as long as you study it a couple hours a day.

In addition to studying with a TUTOROO tutor, you may want to try to get fully immersed as well once you start speaking English fluently. Being around native English speakers allows you to practise language skills you've learnt. You can also read English books, watch English speaking movies and listen to the news in English.

How Many People in the World Speak English?

Interestingly, the English language isn't the most spoken one in the world, although there are over 400 million native English speakers around the planet. English is the third most spoken language - right behind Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.

Speaking English has many advantages:

  • English is a recognised language worldwide;
