Justin H.

Private tutor in Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Education

I currently work as a freelance English instructor based in Hong Kong, in which capacity I design and implement personalized programs targeting business English, conversational English, idiomatic use, and grammar development according to student needs. I have hosted 1-on-1 and group classes, and my students average a "4" on the HKDSE. Previously, I served as an instructor at a formal language centre in Hong Kong (2014-2015) and was the Head Instructor at a South Korean Learning Institute (2011-2013). Between them, I've taught English to students between the ages of 5 and 50 of all ability levels, created supplementary lesson materials to promote student engagement, fostered a positive learning environment, taught test-taking skills such as reading comprehension and essay writing, and more.

Experience

I earned a BA in International Studies with minors in Economics and Anthropology from the University of Toronto with honors in 2010. I also earned CELTA Certification in September of 2013 and TESOL/TESL/TEFL certification from Oxford Seminars in January 2011.

Hobbies

My approach varies depending on the student's needs and learning style. However my teaching philosophy is based on encourage students to think for themselves, using real-world examples when possible. I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move towards more complex areas as their confidence develops. Test preparation focuses more on exam-style or past paper questions to check, practice and perfect the student's understanding and technique. I also give a lot of emphasis to some of the less obvious but important skills such as essay structure and writing style, logical thought, time management and effect use of information.
