About Fiona

I have a PhD in a humanities subject from the University of Cambridge. I have 20+ years of experience teaching English ranging from basic English to TOEFL/IELTS test prep to academic English. I also have 10+ years of experience coaching students on crafting their personal statements, CVs, and research proposals and preparing them for admissions and job interviews. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin.

About the lesson

My English speaking courses are paired up with my English writing courses. You can choose the article you want to work on. It can be a news article about current affairs, an article from National Geographic or Harvard Business Review, or a fun article about dogs. We will work on one article for each set of writing and speaking courses. For the writing course, you will write a 1000-word summary and critique of the article and send it to me. I will revise your essay, give you feedback on what you can improve, and explain why your sentences are incorrect or unidiomatic. The writing course is conducted via email. We will then have a speaking course on Zoom or Skype. My English speaking courses are all about YOU speaking and me correcting your mistakes. English speaking skills can’t be improved through chit-chat. It is about correcting your mistakes repeatedly until you have internalised the correct usage. I am an extremely patient teacher. Language skills can only be acquired through repetition and having someone correct the same mistake multiple times. In the speaking course, you will present your selected article. I want you to take notes for your presentation before the class. You will summarise the article, and I will correct your grammar, pronunciation, and word usage mistakes. You will do your presentation a few times until there are few mistakes and you sound fluent. We will then move on to a discussion of the article. I also offer test prep courses for the TOEFL and IELTS. I specialise in teaching the writing and speaking sections. I also have 10 years of experience coaching students in writing personal statements, CVs, and research proposals. I specialise in advising students targeting prestigious universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, and Ivy League universities in the US.
